HOW TO GET RID OF A SPOT( PIMPLE) QUICKLY! FOR UNDER £8!

This technique works for me on isolated red spots on any part of the face (but not near the eyes or not full blown acne)- try it out and see!

You will need the following:

• Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Spot Wand £3.59 here
• Boots Seventeen Miracle Matteconcealer £3.99 (cream one in a stick) here Buy one even if it's not your skin tone this stuff heals spots and is amazing! (I'm olive skinned and use the Medium shade for ref I use BB warm sand foundation)
• Cotton buds 

The order in which you use these products will depend on whether you match the Seventeen concealer stick. Unfortunately there are only 3 shades available extra fair, fair & medium. If you do match the concealer then rub some over the spot and wear during the day. To avoid the spread of bacteria it's best to use a concealer brush dedicated to this spot/spots. Do not use the same concealer brush to conceal dark circles over the eyes unless you want a lovely big spot there as well (so many Youtube beauty gurus do this which makes me yell noooooo! at my laptop screen.) Swipe the brush over the stick and apply on the spot. If you haven't got a brush to hand that's fine just wipe the stick over. Maybe cut the end off with a knife to keep the concealer stick clean. At night time use the Tea Tree & Witch Hazel stick, apply the clear gel end. To avoid the spread of bacteria it's best to use a cotton bud to swipe over the spot. Then go to bed. Repeat twice over 48 hours you should see an improvement. 

If you can't find a concealer stick in your shade don't worry. Firstly use the Tea tree and Hazel spot wand- the clear end and wear during the day. At nigh time use the concealer stick over the spot. Repeat twice over 48 hours you should see an improvement. That's it!

Disappointing Beauty Products #2

Boots 17 Wild Metallic Cream Eye Shadow in Wild Nude £3.99 Boots
While I like 17's powder eye shadows this cream eye shadow doesn't make the cut. It's another example of a high street/drugstore brand manufacturing a cream eye shadow and failing (in my opinion the only high street brand that succeeded is Maybelline with their colour tattoos.)
It is is a good neutral colour. It is also dermatologically tested, fragrance free and cheap. The jar is a clear plastic rather than the MAC and Maybelline glass cream eye shadow pots, making it lighter and ideal for travel. Yet unfortunately all this cannot make up for the fact that it creases incredibly badly and wears off quickly.

Bourjois Effect 3D Lip Gloss in 01 Beige Elastic £5.99

I was on the hunt for a nude lip gloss and picked this up. I really like this formula, mainly for the taste (like sweets no vanilla thank goodness) although it is a little sticky. Unfortunately this look wasn't what I was aiming for, on the lips the colour was too silver and frosted for me.

Ecotools Bamboo Blush Brush £7.99
This will be a controversial opinion as I know Ecotools gets a lot of love for being cruelty free, vegan and affordable. However I found this brush too prickly against my skin. I also prefer the 'old style' blusher brushes where you swirl them around on the face.

Dr Organic Pomegranate Lip Balm currently £3.25 Holland and Barratt
This is moisturising but I hate the smell, it is a heavily perfumed rose meets cheap children's make up sort of smell. Dr Organic is a brand that's had good reviews and I still want to try their other lip balms and other products from this brand.
