REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash & Body Lotion Review *

Hello Dolls,

How is your Thursday? It is miserable and non summer like! (sad face) Irish weather for you. 
Anyways, last week I got sent some samples of REN`s Moroccan Rose Otto body wash and lotion. I was glad to see these, as they are right down my street regarding the scent and I love REN, so I was expecting good things. 

Before use, I looked up what Moroccan Rose Otto oil was. It was something new to me. It is suppose to be one of the worlds most expensive oils (something new to me ).
The scent of the rose is suppose to be a stress reliever and have relaxing properties. (I liked the sound of that).

So what where the main ingredients that make this such a great range?
In the Body Wash:

Rose Otto Oil: Hydrates and reduces Inflammation.
Beta-Glucan: Helps to calm and soothe redness.
Neroli Flower Oil: Cleanse, refreshes and purifies
Chamomile Flower Water: Calms and sooth skin. 

All properties which are great and important to keep your skin in shape and added benefits to aid your skin. 

In the Lotion:

Otto Rose oil from Damask Rose Petals and Essential Fatty Acids from Rosehip seed oil to nourish and moisturize the skin.


What did I think??? 

I loved both products. The scent is so me and I especially love it in the evening before bed. The scent is a gorgeous rose and is so relaxing. The scent stayed on my skin for hours, which is a thumbs up in my book. 
The body wash, was not drying on the skin at all and was hydrating. It lathered well also, which is great when looking for a body wash. 
The Body lotion was thick and rubbed in well. It made my skin soft and smooth and again made the scent linger longer on my skin. 

I really did love these products and I was not disappointed by REN. :)

Review: Catrice Eye shadow Palette & Highlighter

Hello Dolls, 

I decided on this lovely Sunday, I would do a  review on products that I have been trying lately, that I bought from Pennys/Primark in February.

I chose an Eye shadow palette and Highlighter from Catrice. I love alot of Catrice products from eyeliners, lip pencils and lipsticks, I do have an extensive collection. For the price, the quality of the products are amazing. 

So at the start of February I was looking for colours to go with a dress I wanted for a GAA Dinner Dance I was attending with my boyfriend. I fell in love with the colours and reminded me of some of the colours from the Naked 3 Palette and some MAC shadows.

Catrice Absolute Rose Palette: 010 Frankie Rose to Hollywood

The palette has 6 rose toned shades. From rose to rose gold, in 3 mattes and 3 pearl shades. Shades are from a light rose colour to deep plum with some rose gold flecks. The colours I have been using alot are the last 3 in the palette.  Shade 3 reminds me of MAC Satin Taupe, which is a pearl shade, the next is a matte taupe with a rose tone, which is great in the crease, kind of like MAC Quarry and finally the plum shade with rose flecks in it and gorgeous on.
I got this palette in Pennys/Primark for €4.99, which I found a great price and the quality is great. I already have the Nude version of this palette and for traveling or that last minute look for a night out, this is perfect for the handbag or traveling. You can go natural or smokey eyed. The only let down of the palette and this goes without saying for alot of palettes like these are the applicators, I did not like it at all and have not intention of using it either. I would give it 9/10. And recommend these palettes. 




Pure Shimmer Highlighter:

I have seen and heard so much about this highlighter online even before it was released. My thoughts where that it would be released in March and to my surprise the end of February I came across the Limited Collection " Nude Purism". So you can imagine I grabbed one in my local Pennys/Primark before they where going to sell out, and I can tell you once I announced I got one on Facebook, they had sold the next day. But I am glad to see they are back in the store. The highlighter itself has been described as a dupe for The Balm`s Mary Lou-Maniser. I myself have not tried Mary Lou yet so I cannot give my honest opinion on that. The highlighter itself is great value for the money and again a great makeup bag staple. At €4.59 where can you go wrong, The highlighter has a 3D structure and honeycomb effect. The texture is soft and silky and has fine graded nude and light reflects. I do find that because I am fair skined I really had to build this up alot to see any effect, also the honeycomb effect, even though lovely, does effect the amount I can on my brush. I think this would suit anyone with darker skin tones or tanned, the colour is a beautiful champagne and defiantly has a glow about it. I would give this 9/10 as I do feel like I need to build it up alot for myself. 





I do love  Catrice and I feel like the value again is great for the price. If you have any questions or have any other products you want me to try please let me know.

Where can you find me?
