CandyLipz Review


Image source Candylipz





Hey guys and girls hope you are all well and looking after yourselves.
so it is october and getting up to the season where sads kicks in.
so trying to keep my mind busy was delighted to be sent a product from candylipz to review.
hope you enjoy feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Well we all know the fads of fashion and beauty where people look up to role models then seem to take to their style and it all seems to follow through most people, well I am not normally one of these people who does it just because a celeb does I do it for the reason that i want to.
this is because I like to have my own mind and style I like to be different.

But anyway we all know kylie jenner and a few other celebs who have plump lips that seem to make a lot of us want them too, which is scary that media affects us in this way as i have seen so many beautiful girls and guys get surgery, injections and end up ruining their natural beauty.

so I am going to add a little disclaimer here  I have small lips and they are cute loads of people love them and so do I so please don't feel that you need to plump yours just because you have read this review, as this is purely a review to show you the product and show you how it is an alternative to surgery should you wish to buy it if this is the case Please only buy it on your terms not because I own it or that celebs have plump lips, or because media says to buy it.

Remember you are your own person and you are beautiful just the way you are.




So candylipz have sent me this product free of charge to show readers the product and talk about the dangers of using things that are not designed to plump lips, and to show you their product which is claimed to be more safe to use to plump lips.

Anyway moving on to the more interesting part of this post, the review of candylipz.




CANDYLIPZ REVIEW



Before Getting The Product Thoughts

omg i was abit nervous as I had watched so many videos of ppl doing with shot glasses and their lips exploding due to their lips getting stuck in the glass, please do not try it with a glass it is dangerous and you have no way of getting the glass of quick if needed.




First Thoughts On Candy Lips When It Arrived.
Omg it arrived i was even more nervous knowing I was going to be trying it.
Just call me your guinea pig because if anything went wrong it would've saved you a lot of pain.
I was also excited to see if the rumours was true if you could plump your lips in minutes.
So mixture of feelings really from happy to excited to been nervous to what i had myself into.






Packaging




The packaging for me was really cute, simple but effective, it added that special touch.
really loved how pretty it looked taking photos of it on my white cushion.
really like how well the candylipz apple looks really stunning in the simple packaging.


Using The Product

How It Feels to use it?
It feels really weird hurts a little on your first few goes i didn't use it for the full length right away as I am scared to get the bruising and lip hickeys which can occur when first using the product ie the conditioning period but did It in smaller goes and didn't get lip hickeys.

what I did was put it on for a few seconds so I knew what it felt like kept doing this over the day for a few seconds to get grips to how it will feel on lips, then the next day i tried it for 20 seconds had a 10 min break then tried 30 seconds, then had break then tried a minute.
I am still very new to product I haven't yet built my self up to go the full length but everyone is different i will say do what you're comfy with but do read the instructions, also the whole of this review and other people's blog reviews and youtube videos just so you can get a better idea from more than one person as what I experience may be different to someone else.


How To Use


There is a conditioning period which I have put below from the website.


Conditioning period

Please note there is a 10 day conditioning period with Candylipz and some temporary hickey marks or bruising can occur. It varies from person to person. Please read instructions fully before use & build up use starting from 30 second increments.

You can read the candylipz conditioning period on candylipz website

Overall Review


Well where do I start, I was skeptical to begin with as i had seen so many people damage their lips plumping them with silly objects like glasses, so was abit scared to use this, but when I finally did i was glad i did because it felt safe and was easy to take off if I felt I didn't want it on.

So I do really love candylipz and the packaging it comes in which is elegant simple but effective.
The candylipz itself  im impressed with i havent even used it the whole length yet and just getting to grips with it even the short amount of time i tested it on lips to get used to the feeling I saw results.

Even tho it says you can get hickeys I didn't experience that which is good but that is prob because I haven't left it on the whole length yet and i used the lip cushion which it came with.
everyone is different though some will experience bruising or hickeys and some won't.

As much as I love this product already and its results with are temporary which I love as can have small lips or big lips without needing expensive painful  lip fillers which can go wrong and is long term.

Even though it states it is safe I do always wonder what long term effects could be and what
will happen if someone is using this everyday for 10 years as obviously I do not know the answer to that, so I will say please be reasonable read information online, ask the company any questions you may have, and if you experience anything like bleeding or extreme pain,
please stop using and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I will add I did not read the faqs till writing this post and did not know candylipz wasn't suitable for people with some illnesses so can say it was not good that the website doesn't ask you before you buy if you have any of the following illnesses, so that was pretty bad in my eyes because,
Someone may assume they can use it, because everyone else is using it.

Side Effects
Lip hickeys or bruising can occur when using the product.


Warning !!

Do not use things like glasses or other objects that people have been using to plump their lips because this can result in you busting your lips open and other things.
It is extremely dangerous to use items not designed for plumping lips,

if you check this link here you will see the bad effects caused by using products not safe for lip plumping, please be warned images may be extremely graphic please do not click if you have a weak stomach or do not like graphic content.

so please listen beautiful people if you are gonna plump your lips use a product designed to do so and use it properly. even still there is side effects so please be responsible if your under 16 then please always ask a grownup/adult to anything like this because they can help you find a product designed for your needs if they agree.





Questions and answers.


Does it matter what size my lips are originally?
There are different product designed please check the website for more details.

Does it hurt to use candy lipz?
It is not painful, it's more uncomfortable if anything.

I am under 16 can I use candylipz?
Please ask your parent or guardian.

My New Mascara




Hey girls guys mermaids I am back as promised with a review.
We all know the latest craze with fibre lashes I wasn't convinced with owning over 15 mascaras myself a few which just mascara and a few others that make my lashes long and lovely.

Well I wanted to see what the fuss was about with the fibre lash mascara so The lovely lady at facepaint live sent me one to test and try so i could see what it was about and show you too.

I waited for it to arrive and when it did gave it a go which I loved the result but took pictures and was like my eyebrows are so damn bushy i can't do nice after photos till i get these waxed.
Anyway now that my eyebrows are looking less like slugs and more like eyebrows I have taken some after shots to show you. so here is the review and photos.

My Review on 3d fibre lash mascara From facepaint live.
check out www.facepaintlive.com  to buy yours 
Before photo of my lashes





First use




I was skeptical at first thinking mascara is just mascara I thought there's no way this is gonna work on my lashes, But gave it a go first applying the gel mascara then the fibres then some more gel mascara to seal and give it that extra coat.

My thoughts I like it i am not over the moon as such as I did see similar results with some other mascaras I owned but can say This worked well added a bit more length to my lashes but did find even though my lashes was longer they didn't look as great as what other people have got with theirs so maybe I need to apply more.




Then I needed my brows waxing urgently but had to wait for my new eyebrow lady to be available to get her hands on my slugbrows to make them look pretty so I didn't scare you all.
so now they are nice and shaped I will show you some after photos.

so again I used the mascara and Got a better result as i applied extra probably what I needed as my lashes are not as long as other people's naturally but was even more happy with the result.
so I do think if you want even longer you need to apply a little extra etc depending on your natural lash length to how much you need.

So here's The after photos.






….





Overall verdict


I love the 3d mascara the gel is like a normal mascara but the fibres are what make your lashes look longer, I did like the product but i am not jumping for joy so to speak I do feel I need to get to know the product abit more to fully understand it.

Id say this product is for those of you who are like me and can't get to grips with false lashes and don't want the risk of glue on your lashes etc who want that added length without the added stress and time of getting ready.

This product is simple to use just how you would apply normal mascara it as a very natural feel so to speak well naturally as in it looks like what it is aka makeup, doesn't look like you're wearing false horrid glue lashes.

I give this product a 7/10 on my own opinion but that may change as I get more used to using it.




Well keeping this short and sweet I hope you liked the review.
Remember you can buy you fibre lash mascara from facepaint live if you wish.

So I am back to tell you about the new range of I love products hope you enjoy.
So I was checking my emails and had an email asking me if I would love to try the i love peachy passion fruit to tell my readers about it and to give honest feedback.
As a lover of trying new things I snapped up the chance so here I am typing to you all.

Here is what I thought about peachy passion fruit I love range.
Hope you enjoy.

Peach and passionfruit I love range.






Body Butter
I really Loved the body butter creamy and luxurious it made my skin feel soft and lovely.
It also smells like peach and passionfruit which hubby smelt and said it smelt a bit vanillery also which he loved too, as someone whose skin drys out rather quick this worked nicely for me.
This rich and creamy body butter soaked up my dry hands leaving them soft and silky.



Bubble Bath/Shower Cream

I really adored the bubblebath it smelt of peach passion fruit which smells sweet and divine.
My hubby smelt it too and loved the smell he said it smelt vanillary to him.
I love the bubble bath it made my skin feel nice and didn't dry it out like some other bubble Baths do.




Body Mist

I really loved this product it smells amazing and made my skin feel clean and soft.
Although I loved the smell of this I wasn't to impressed the scent didn't last long on me.
I am not sure if other people have found this but it was a huge factor that made me think i wouldn't buy the mist again even though it smelt divine of peach and passionfruit.








Additional Information



Exclusively available from Superdrug
The Collection Includes: Peachy Passion fruit Bubble Bath & Shower Crème (500ml) RRP £2.99 Peachy Passion fruit Nourishing Body Butter (200ml) RRP £2.99

Overall Verdict
I really loved these products they smell lovely and made my skin feel lovely too.
the downside to me was the body mist scent didn't last long on me not sure if all mists do that but it was something that made me disappointed. however the products smelled great and made my skin feel smooth and moisturised.

The price they are to buy are very reasonable and make me want to go buy some.
I feel price pays a big factor these days epessily with the cost of living rising.
I think this is worth well the price if not more I can't wait to try more of their range.

Travalo Milano Attomizer




Hey girls and guys im back with another review!
sorry I don't get to blog as much as I would like.
Anyway Hope you like this review 
feel free to ask any questions you may have.


Introduction


I was contacted by email to see if I was interested in trying this product for Travalo.
So I thought why not as I have reviewed one before for another company.
So was good to see how different it was to my other one.

Launching in September, the elegant and exclusive Milano is the perfect accessory to keep you smelling wonderful on the go; whether it is the daily 9-5 on shopping trips, or when you are at work, or even when going on a date or even trips to theme parks. 


The Packaging


The packaging was very simple but elegant.
There was not to much packaging like alot of products your find.
The packing for me was spot on from the design to the size.
Luxurious colours not overpowering very easy on the eye.




The Atomizer 

As soon as I picked it up from its packaging I could feel how sturdy and well made it is.
Looking at the design it is a unisex product that works great as a gift.
 May it be christmas birthday,Thank you gift or even a leaving present.
You could even buy it for yourself to use on a daily basis.

The way you fill it up is much different from the atomizer I already own.
which I will explain further down to help anyone who might be thinking of buying one.




Using the product?

It is very nice to use the added weight makes the product feel more luxurious.
 it is very well made and sturdy compared to most other atomizers makes you proud to use.
It sprays well just the right amount needed but if you're mad like me your keep spraying till you smell like the perfume shop at christmas when everyone is spraying the testers. 


How do you refill the atomizer? 

Take the  spray cap of your perfume bottle.
take the bottom of your atomizer and pop it on your perfume bottle

The picture below might explain it better.



Like all Travalo atomizers,
Milano refills in seconds directly from a standard perfume bottle. 
Through the patented Genie-S pump-fill system. 
This ensures that the fragrance is never contaminated by exposure to the air.


Overall Verdict


I really love it its very well made and has a nice bit of weight on it.
I absolutely love how easy it is to refill which is great.
 Although I have got to say 
Refilling it is a no no if you don't own the kind of perfume with the spray top on.
 I myself also have a perfume without a spray top which can't be put into this atomizer.
But I do have another Atomiser at home that can take normal perfumes.

So for me it is a wonderful product would be nice to have different ways of refilling,
depending on what kind of perfume you own ie open top or spray top.
But other then that I can't really fault it it is a lovely little product.

Really love the size it is nice compact fits into jacket pocket or clutch bag.
suit jacket pocket or even a compartment in your laptop bag.
very handy for men and women who want to stay smelling lovely.

Q&A’s

Where can I buy this product?

It can be brought from travalo website launching in september.

How much is it to buy?

 RRP £35/ US$ 49/ 49Euros.

Can I take this on holiday on a plane?


Yes it is approved but please check before travelling.

What colours do they come in?


The Milano is offered in a range of eight elegant and timeless colours.
(black,white,pink,orange,blue,mint etc)
