Ardell Fashion Lashes

Evening Girls.. 

As an ardent wearer or false lashes, I've become somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to good lashes and bad.. There is nothing worse than wearing a set of falsies which feel like they weigh down your lashes and generally cause discomfort to the eye. I myself wear contact lenses and sometimes with certain, cheap brands of lashes my eyes become tired and irritable after a couple of hours wear. 

Eyelure had always been my lash brand of choice, when I wasn't sporting lashes from my now defunct False Lash company 'Styleyes Lashes', but more recently a brand who in all honesty I'd not heard too much about has taken my fancy and converted me in the lash stakes! 

Ardell are an American False Lash company who's tag line is 'Simply Unforgettable Eyes...' believe me, the Ardell Lashes truly are unforgettable! 

Here is a close up shot of me wearing their 'Fashion Lashes' in number 101.

 The lashes are made from 100% sterilized human hair, meaning they are super light weight. Adding to their comfort levels is the clear flexi strip which the lashes are attached to; the strip is easily maneuvered to fit your own shape eye, it is not rigid in any way which means the highest level of comfort.

On the occasions I wear lashes, I need to be able to be comfortable for long periods of time when wearing them, the Ardell lashes are amazing for this and most of the time I totally forget I'm wearing any at all!

Here is the completed look wearing the 101 lashes and I just love them!

They are currently available to buy from Boots, these ones in particular retail for £5.11 which I think to be a fab price for quality lashes which are reusable, providing care and attention is paid to them in keeping them clean.

Have any of you lovelies tried Ardell lashes? Can you recommend any other styles to try out?

Product Rave.. L'oréal Perfect Clean Wash

So everyone has seen the adverts and has most likely seen these products in their local Superdrug or Boots.



I've been wanting a bit of a change up within my skin care regime; I'd been using the Proactiv solution, purely based on the fact that it originally worked amazingly well on my skin, keeping all blemishes and spots at bay, meaning I very rarely had breakouts or the odd spot - Fabulous you say? Well yeah, but because their products are tailor made for acne sufferers (I've never had acne, just the occasional spot or stress (UNI) related breakout!) the harsh chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide began over a period of time to dry my skin out terribly, especially around my nose and chin area.

In the last few weeks I've found myself increasingly stressed out with university deadlines and presentations and I found the proactiv just wasn't working any more and I ended up having a very out of character (major) break out on my chin. After reading a little about the Pure Clean range, I thought I'd give it a try out.

The product it's self comes in four different skin types:

- Purifying for Blemish Prone Skin
- Refreshing for Normal/Combination Skin
- Exfoliating for All Skin Types
- Soothing for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Because of the breakout I'd had, I decided to go for the Purifying wash, for blemish prone skin.

The product which has a pleasant smell, is a clear gel which you squeeze out onto the 'scrublet' and then begin to massage into your face. Not a lot of product is needed to achieve a lather, so I found this to be a plus! :)

The wash left my face feeling not only cleansed but super clean and refined. I originally didn't have much faith in the scrublet; it seemed to be just a flimsy piece of rubber with small 'nobbles' which would supposedly exfoliate your skin. However, my initial doubt was replaced with surprise, even after the first time using the wash. It has left my skin so soft and supple :)

I've been using the wash for just over a week now and my breakout has 98% cleared up! - Just been using bio - oil on a night to reduce the redness and dry skin which has been left behind. I would like to add however, that the wash is oil free and enriched with salicylic acid, which I feel over time may dry my skin out, so for this reason I may move onto the Soothing wash for dry/sensitive skin.

Overall though I think it's a fab product and would definitely recommend and repurchase!

Has anyone else had any experience, either good or bad of the Perfect Clean range?

Much loveee Xx
