Freebie From Glamour Test Panel - The New Clearasil Daily Clear PerfectaWash

Did you guess what was in my Glamour Test Panel Box?

Nope? 

I'm not surprised, this gadget isn't even in the shops until January!

It's the new 'Clearisil Daily Clear PerfectaWash', containing, Superfruits Extracts & Vitamin E refill facewash, which is specifically designed for oily skin that is prone to breakouts. 

But, it's not just a bottle of face wash, it also comes with an Automatic Face Wash Dispenser, kind of along the same lines as the no-touch hand washes that are on the scene at the moment.

At first I was a little confused, the touch-free hand soap is designed as a more hygienic to wash your hands after you go to the toilet, but why would you need a cleaner way to wash your face? 

However, once I read the information Glamour provided, it made a bit more sense. 

Basically, the concept is to give you the perfect dose of face wash, meaning you get the right amount to clean your skin without drying it out. The refill provides 100 washes, which if used morning and night, should last around 7 weeks.

The dispenser takes 3AA batteries, provided with the dispenser, you just switch it on at the back, wait till the blue light stops flashing and then place your hand under the dispenser.

I was a little surprised at how much face wash they recommend you to use, the amount provided was at least double as to what I would normally use.

The face wash itself is really nice, effective at reducing oil, yet gentle.

But, something just isn't selling it to me, I think it's because Clearasil are trying to solve a problem that no one really has. I mean, we all know how to wash our face, right?

Plus, I keep accidently activating it, and I'm pretty sure, my flatmates have been using it as hand soap...

I am really enjoying using the product, and like I said, the face wash is perfect for my skin but at an RRP of £12.99, I wouldn't purchase it myself.

However, as a freebie, it's a fab item to try, and I'm not gonna lie, it's nice to try an 'exclusive-not-even-available-in shops-yet' product.

Do you think there is a need for this product?

Is it something you'd like to try?

Fancy Some Free Stuff from Glamour?

Fancy testing brand new beauty products? 

Of course you do, bit of a silly question really.

I thought I'd let you in on a secret, The Glamour Panel.

I read Glamour magazine, and am a subscriber anyway, but you don't need to buy the magazine, or even be a fan of it.

I noticed an ad in the magazine a while back asking offering readers a chance to test the latest products, and all they would have to do in return is complete a short survey, stating what they thought about the product.

To join, you just need to give your contact details and complete a short survey, Glamour also point out that your details will not be sold on or traded, and are kept in the strictest confidence. 

When a new product comes around that they would like you to test, they send you an email, you complete a short survey stating your skin/hair type, and you receive the product in the post a couple of days later.

So far, I've received a full size Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil,

I couldn't find an RRP for this products, but other products in the Aveeno range retail for around £5-8. I couldn't fault that the moisturiser was nourishing, and non-greasy, but it absolutely stank of Play Dough, remember that?

The smell was just too off-putting, and really discouraged me from using the Moisturiser.

Then, last week, I received this box in the post,

Containing this bad boy, can you guess what it is?

I'm gonna leave you hanging a bit longer, but it is something brand new, and well worth a look...

You can see a full review of the product in this post.

I would really recommend signing up to the glamour panel, it's free and you might get a few freebies, plus when you sign up you automatically get entered into a prize draw to win vouchers and gifts.

You can sign up for the panel here.

FOTD: Leopard Print Masquerade And I Finally Got Naked!

It's been a while, but I'm back with a bang!

I have a new job that I'm still adjusting to, but I've missed you lovely people, 

so I needed to come back with something special.

I received my Naked Palette through post the other day, 

after buying it in a BuyaPowa Bargain Bonanza for only £25. 

See here.

I realise I'm about two years too late for the Naked Palette Party, 

but I believe it really is a must have palette to own. 

I've had a look at the newly released Naked2 Palette, 

and decided I don't need to purchase it, there are too many dupes, 

and only a couple of original colours. 

Swatches and comparisons of Naked2 can be see here on Temptalia.

So what did I try first? A soft neutral eye? A smokey-brown?

Nope, I jumped straight in and decided to be a leopard.

I was heading to a Masquerade Party on Saturday, and being too stingy to fork out for a mask, 

I decided to try something a bit different and paint my own in make-up.

Of course this look isn't for everyone, but you can tone it down to just the eyelids for a night out.

As I was in such a rush, and to be honest, wasn't too sure whether it would work or not, 

I didn't take step by step pictures, but it is extremely easy to do.

Products Used:

- Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Shade 100, Ivory

- Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Shade 010, Ivory

- Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Ecro

- Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder in 021, Transparent

Contour:

- MUA Pressed Powder in Shade 4

- L'Oreal Paris True Match Blush in Innocent Flush

- Benefit Blush Coralista

- Benefit Highbeam

Leopard Print + Eyes:

- Urban Decay Primer Potion

- HD Brows Kit in Vamp

- Urban Decay Naked Palette, Most Shades

- Unnamed Black Liquid Eyeliner

- Benefit They're Real Mascara

- No7 Lash Adapt Mascara

Lips:

- Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in 024, Red Diva

- Rimmel Kate Moss Collection, Lasting Finish Lipstick in 01

Method:

- Apply your base, (foundation, concealer, powder), as normal.

- Put eye primer on any areas you would like to to paint.

- Apply a gold-toned brown to the area you want to add your spots to.

- Take an array of darker browns from the palette and apply in small strokes. I used a small concealer brush to apply, sweep the tip of the brush over my face in short motions.

- Using the same method, apply the golden colours to your face.

- Line your eyes with black liquid eyeliner, in a cat-like flick.

- Now, onto lining your leopard marks, go round any spots you've made in a controlled yet messy looking fashion. Aim for an unorganised, disjointed circle.

- Curl your lashes, and coats with lashings of mascara.

- Finish with a bold red lip, line your lips with red lip liner and fill. Then go over with red lipstick, straight from the bullet. The new Rimmel Kate Moss Collection Lipstick in 01 is my new favourite red, it's matte, and packs a hell of a punch.

I love this look, it's not very often you get a chance to go all out and embrace your wild side!

It's out-there, but it's also very classy and sexy, with a hint of danger.

Will you be daring enough to try this look?

And, do you think the Naked2 Palette is worth buying?
