For 2021, the Lookfantastic Easter offering is called The Beauty Egg Collection*, so I am hoping to see this hat box full of eggs which hide beauty products.  The Blush Pink hat box is said to be packed with brands and their products to the tune of £230 and you can expect to find the likes to Eve Lom, Color Wow, Rodial and Elemis.

Beauty Laundrette Foamy Body Wash

One of the recent launches to Superdrug last year was Beauty Laundrette and whilst I can never find them in stock at my local store, I did managed to grab one of the products in an online order a while ago. No one can dent rang the packaging is a lot of fun and quite kitsch with it pastel pink and baby blue offerings, but best of all, it is so competitively priced with everything starting at £1.49 for a moisturiser or £3 for a face mask rising upward to £12 for a bubble bath, plus there is the offering of gift sets for a slighter higher price.

Beauty Laundrette state that their range is all about bringing the feel-good factor to your bathroom and as they put it:

‘Beauty Laundrette products are specifically developed to look after the most precious fabric on earth – your skin! Featuring shower, bath and body products with skincare built in, they are perfect for those looking to save time without compromising on skincare. It’s as simple as Rinse, Dry, Beautify.’

When I made my purchase, a lot of the products happened to be out of stock, but I did manage to grab The Soft Delicates Foamy Body Wash (190ml £6.00). It is dermatologically approved and ideal for those with sensitive skin, this is a lightly fragranced body wash which combines the ingredients of Honeysuckle and Chrysanthemum, which is referred to as being the 'Soothing Complex' to give the skin a clean feel.

If you are familiar with Shower Foams, then using this one won't come as too much of a surprise, but when using the pump dispenser, one to two pumps is more than enough. As it comes into contact with water, the foam expands and with it comes a lovely fresh scent, which does linger on the skin, but not for as long as I had hoped.  After using, my skin does feel moisturised and smooth, which I would expect to find.

I have really enjoyed using this Foamy Body Wash and it has made me want to discover more from the brand. 

Products from Beauty Laundrette are Vegan and Cruelty-Free and available from Superdrug.

L'oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara - The Mascara which went viral on TikTok

Mascara's are literally my favourite makeup item, the one that I want to try first in any new collection, the one thing I never leave the house without, even if I am just nipping to Tesco for some milk. But I have quite the list of what I do and don't like with the formulas and the wands.  When the L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara arrived, I couldn't wait to see how good it was, if the hype is to be believed, after all it went viral on TikTok.

How did it go viral? A TikTok user reviewed this exact product on her page, showcasing what difference it made to her lashes and with over 25 million views, its quite staggering.

This mascara, which has been around for some years now, comes packaged inside a gold plastic tube, which very clearly denotes what the product is and how it is by, it is nothing fancy and doesn't have a luxe feel to it, whereas the L'Oreal Air Volume Mega Mascara, which I review a few months back, has a metallic pink tube which I loved. 

For me to use a mascara, I want something which doesn't have an overly wet formula because I have fairly long lashes as it is and I also wear glasses for reading, writing and watching television, so I am looking for a product that I can wear without weighing down my lashes and without smudging onto my glasses. With this mascara, the formula sits perfectly between the not too wet or too dry, to the point that as you extract the mascara wand, there is no need to wipe off any excess product, because there is none.

The wand, which is show above, stretches the entire length of the tube and is much longer than I expected it to be. It is incredibly thin but bendy, so as you wiggle the bristles between your lashes, the wand bends with the them, so it is much easier to use.

The bristles on the brush are short spikes, but they are not rigid spikes, they are quite soft. Designed so you can really need to work them through the lashes to get that lift and then for lengthening. As I have said, I have fairly long lashes already, so whilst I didn't notice a huge difference there, the difference was with the slight lift.  The formula, which having explained isn't overly wet, also manages to coat the lashes really well without flaking or smudging and there is definitely no spidery leg lashes in sight!

Are there any downsides? Removing this mascara is one you need to use an eye makeup remover with,it doesn't budge easily otherwise, it is a mascara which intends to stay put, until you force it to leave your lashes.

This L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara is priced at £10.99 and can be found 

via Boots and Feelunique*.
