Supercat Eyeliner

This week I have a new addition to my makeup kit. It comes from a brand of products I love, Soap & Glory at Boots. It's called Supercat, a carbon black extreme eyeliner pen.In the past i've tried pencil eyeliners and other liquid ones but have never got the effect I was hoping for.  I don't usually wear eyeliner on a daily basis, but now I've found one I really like I will probably wear it more often! Being from Soap & Glory I was expecting a good product and I got it, there isn't one of their products which i've tried and haven't liked, they're flawless! It's only £6 from Boots and is included on the 3 for 2 offer.

Green and Black's

This week I thought I deserved a little treat so I bought two flavours of Green & Black's which I've never tried before. I'm not over keen on dark chocolate but Green & Black's do quite a wide range of milk chocolate flavours as well as white chocolate which suits me perfectly. In the past I've tried the normal milk, the creamy milk and the white chocolate. The proof is in the eating and you can tell that every single bar is of such a good quality.This week I decided to try the caramel and crispy milk. The crispy milk was nice, nothing I could really say is bad about it but it didn't become my favourite from the range. The caramel was lovely, but only managed to get a couple of squares of this as everyone wanted a piece of the yummyness! The caramel is definitely a contender for the top spot, but so far personally I think the creamy milk is my favourite. Next time I need a chocolate fix i'll have to try a different flavour!

The Body Shop Purchases

These three items were half of my recent order from The Body Shop, I got a fantastic offer in which I got three items free. The three other products were all from the vitamin e range, i'll be doing a post about those soon!

Peppermint, Reviving Leg Gel. £7
I've only used this product a couple of times but i'm already loving it. I often get tired and aching legs but this product does exactly what is says on the tin. It's so cooling, it really does revive tired legs. The peppermint scent is lovely too. Very happy with this purchase!

Cocoa Butter, Hand & Body Lotion. £8
This product was nice and light, and didn't have an overly sickly smell. Next time however I think I would be more likely to buy one of the body butters instead, this lotion is perfect as a hand lotion but I prefer more of a body butter for the body.

Seaweed, Deep Cleansing Facial Wash. £7
I was really pleased with this facial wash, after just a few uses my skin did feel really refreshed and cleansed. On my next trip to The Body Shop I think i'll definitely have a look at the rest of the seaweed range as I was very impressed with this product.

Sainsbury's Cajun Rub

This is a bit of a random post, but it's something I have to share! I discovered this yummy cajun rub earlier in the year and it now makes an apperance at every BBQ we have and also is used a couple of times in the week too. I've tried branded cajun rubs but I this one is beats those, I always buy several packs of this as I don't want to run out! It's not too spicy and gives some extra flavour to what would be a boring piece of meat. For an even better flavour I add some BBQ sauce to the mix. So yummy, give it a go!

FCUK Whipped Body Cream

This body cream is lovely,it has a nice scent and sinks in to the skin really well leaving it lovely and smooth. It doesn't quite beat The Righteous Butter from Soap & Glory but at almost half the price it's well worth it's money and comes a very close second. If I hadn't of found the body butter from Soap & Glory this would have definitely been my favourite. It's really reasonably priced at only £5.87 from Boots,  and you can often get it on a 3 for 2 offer which makes it even cheaper! An affordable luxury which leaves your skin silky smooth, give it a go... you won't be disappointed.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

For a long time i've been using TRESemmé dry shampoo, a product which has become a necessity for me to have just incase of bad hair days or if my hairs a tad greasy. This week whilst shopping in Sainsbury's I noticed that the Batiste dry shampoo was on offer.  I've always known about the Batiste products but never purchased them before now, boy have I been missing out! The first thing you notice is the lovely tropical smell, it reminds me of being on holiday, "the caribbean in a can". Now for it's actual use, it completely took the greasy look away from my hair and gave it plenty of volume. I have been officially converted, sorry TRESemmé but Batiste has taken over as my favourite dry shampoo!

Movies...

Fright Night,
This film wasn't one of the best films i've ever watched but it's one of those you have to keep watching to find out what happens at the end. Colin Farrell does play his part pretty well as the vampire and David Tennant has his moments. The film was smart and funny but didn't really scare me very much! Which from a title of fright night, you would sort of expect to be scared at least a little bit. It's not a film I would rush to watch again any time soon, but i'd be quite interested in watching the original from 1985 just to see how it compares.

You May Not Kiss The Bride,
It's a film about a fake wedding in which pet photographer Bryan (Justin from Brothers and Sisters) is forced into to marrying the daughter of a crime boss so that she'll get a green card. The film is a bit too over the top, trying to be dramatic but in a way that it's hard to take it seriously. I do like films when they're are unrealistic, but only when they're done well. Tonya, played by Mena Suvari plays such an annoying part. I loved Dave Annable when he played Justin in Brothers and Sisters, in this movie he did play the part pretty well, he's probably the only reason I managed to watch the whole movie through, otherwise would have be switched off a lot earlier. I think he'll do well in the future in some more rom-coms. As for this film, not one I'll be adding to my DVD collection any time soon.

The Vow,
This movie was definitely my favourite watch of the week. It features Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. After getting married, a car accident leaves her in a coma. As she lost her memory, her husband is determined to win her heart again. It didn't quite have the end I was expecting but I was glad of that as it wasn't too predictable. It did have it's moments where it follows the "guidelines" of most romantic movies but did manage to branch out slightly. Either way I loved it! Tatum and McAdams both played their parts brilliantly, more so Tatum but that may be because I find him absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad I purchased this on DVD and it's a film I would definitely watch again. All in all a good story that does tug on your heart strings slightly! If you like films like Dear John and The notebook I think you'll like this one.
