Makeup Saturday/Advent calendar day 14 -20

14 December

The Full 360 Mascara 

no7beauty.co.uk/the-full-360-mascara-7ml/13425294.html

Got one of these out of another gift.

Tried a few mascaras the other day

Preferred YSL mascara and Clarins mascara. They build up quickly. I like a false lash effect and volume.

Think this is for women who don’t want a false eyelash effect, which is fair enough. I like Loreal best for mascara.

Enjoyed opening the box.

Starting to realise you really need an advent Calendar with your favourite things in. Really grateful I got an Advent Calendar at all though.

The light-weight and non-greasy oil has been formulated with an active blend that mimics skin’s natural oils so that it quickly gets to work to help restore lost moisture and hydration.

How to Use

For Best Results: You can use this oil both day and night. Apply 2 – 3 drops of the oil onto cleansed skin and massage in circular motions over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. When using the oil during the day, follow with your No7 day cream to protect your skin. When using the oil during the night, you can either use alone or with your night cream for an added moisture boost. Colour may vary due to natural ingredients.

Beautiful Skin Nourishing Hand and Nail Cream 125ml

Remember getting this before and throwing it away as the fragrance isn’t that pleasant and I don’t like the design.

No7 packaging used to be really good, not sure why they changed it?

Soft hands

Bought this today as a 3 for 2 deal, I have to agree with some people the smell is unpleasant and it isn’t that special hands are sticky after use.

Hopefully the retinol one is better.

Might try with this again, my nails are quite short at the moment so if it works the fragrance might be worth percevering with.

Product Description

A nourishing and conditioning hand & nail cream for long lasting comfort.
Supple, Softer, Stronger. It’s sometimes easy to forget about your nails and focus all the attention on your hands.

However this rich and easily absorbed hand and nail cream is specifically formulated to moisturise and condition both, giving you hydrated skin and stronger feeling nails too. Formulated with oils of Grapeseed, Macadamia and Almond to nourish and protect against dryness, along with keratin to promote healthy looking nails.

Hands are left feeling soft and supple with long lasting comfort.

Hypo-allergenic:

Because all skin can have sensitive moments, all our products are hypo-allergenic using ingredients we know and trust.

Volume: 125ml

How to Use

For Best Results: Gently massage onto your hands and nails, paying particular attention to the drier parts of your hand. Ensure that the cream is thoroughly massaged into the entire nail, especially the base.

Pro Artist Luxe Liquid Blush 6.1ml

This lightweight, silky-smooth blusher awakens the complexion, blending beautifully and effortlessly for a soft flush of colour.

no7beauty.co.uk/pro-artist-luxe-liquid-blush-6-1ml

Really don’t like this colour, they also do coral and pink.

This is no way anywhere near taupe?

Sort of fed up with makeup now and not inspred to purchase coral or pink if that is what you are supposed to do?

Weird selling tactics.

Not sure I like how dry it goes.

This doesn’t look like Coral or pink ~ just the flowerpot colours again.

Really don’t like the packaging doesn’t influence me at all.

Was dissapointed it was makeup again which is unusual for me.

Why you’ll love it

Highly Pigmented Formula: Delivers a long-lasting, soft-focus colour.

Subtle Blurring Effect: The silky-smooth formula provides a soft glow effect.

Buildable and customisable: allows for easy layering and blending to achieve the desired intensity, from subtle to vibrant.

Natural Radiant Finish: Provides a healthy-looking glow that lasts, enhancing the complexion with a soft and healthy-looking glow.

Volume:6.1ml

How to Use

Add a healthy looking flush of colour to your look in 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Apply your favourite No7 foundation.

Step 2: Using the applicator apply a couple of dots of No7 Pro Artist Luxe Liquid Blush on the cheekbones and blend out with a fluffy brush or your fingertips.

Step 3: To keep your look fresh all day, spritz with the No7 Pro Artist Finishing Touch Fixing Spray.

Why has it got an applicator if you use a brush?

Too dark for pale skin so useless for me.

It has 5 stars?

There are only 5 reviews though.

1 out of 5 stars.

Gloopy not nice to use

This is very gloopy don’t like feel of it or colour.

Did you receive a free sample of this product?No

No, I wouldn’t recommend this product.

Different reviews on the Boots site.

I’d write a review but can’t be bothered.

Just hoping there is no more makeup in this Advent Calendar.

Stay Perfect Foundation

A lightweight formula that hydrates, protects from sun damage and lasts up to 24 hours

.no7beauty.co.uk/stay-perfect-foundation/13257858.html?search=stay+perfect+foundation

Not happy with this day.

It is a voucher for a free foundation.

All the shades are muddled up so not sure which one I am.

You can’t order it online so you are expected to go out?

Just wanted a bit of fickle fun with an advent calendar not days on end of face pulling as I’m upset.

Wish they had either put makeup in every one could use or none.

Wasn’t going to complain about this calendar as I’m just grateful to have one, but starting to wonder if I’ve been had?

Had to read the voucher with a magnyfying glass as it was ridiculously small print.

Would guess they hope you don’t order it, or go into store and be tricked into buying more makeup ~ I don’t like No7 makeup though.

Really disappointed as thought it was bronzing pearls.

I got light glow at least, but this isn’t light glow.

Will scoop the product out and recycle the jar.

Quite like the jar it is like a bronzing pearl jar.

Will come in for craft tools like pins, sequins or beads now I’m crafting again or talcum powder.

Conclusion

Really enjoying the concept of an Advent Calendar for adults.

Am loving opening the golden boxes.

Wondering if I made a mistake with this calendar, to be fair if you love No7 and orangy brown makeup?, you may love this one.

I did try for other ones, but this is all I got.

Have to say unless the Calendar states the type of makeup and who it suits, it is not going to work for everyone.

I need one for winter colours with bronzing pearls or powder for fair skin.

I was deliberating about being honest, but if I lied I might get sent more, so honesty is the best policy.

I don’t want to add up if I’ve been had as I didn’t buy it for that reason.

At the end of the day I’ve had so much fun opening the boxes I’ve probably had my moneysworth there; like a child who doesn’t play with their expensive present but turns the box into a sports car or fairy tale castle lol!!!

Not sure if I would get this next year, wonder if I should try for one that is more practical where I will use all the presents. For this reason feel obliged to work out if I got my moneysworth.

Just as a suggestion I used to get loads of free No7 vouchers, I used to purchase nailvarnish with it as I didn’t like the makeup, but mainly bought spa products if it didn’t insist you bought makeup.

I’m being truthfull as I’m not promoting it, I paid for this with my own money.

Hopefully next week will be better and I will get my moneysworth.

Then end on a high note.

(hopefully!!)

Enjoy your Saturday
