Actually Honest - skincare and makeup reviews #3

I’ve used it and it’s nice, but nowhere near as good as Ole Henriksen pout preserve. It’s honestly the best lip balm I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried them all - from cheapos to By Terry and La Mer!). The strawberry one has a lovely tint.
It's good old Carmex for me, the proper classic one in the little pot. I'm addicted to the stuff, it's definitely the best out of the cheapo lip balms, I haven't tried all the top end brands

Has anyone tried the L’occitane Shea lip balm?
I've used their hand and foot cream for years so I thought the lip balm would be as good. It wasn't, it didn't really add any moisture. I have heard that the tin of shea butter does a better job but I haven't got round to trying that yet

Hi everyone I'm looking for a cellulite cream. I usually get clairins body skulpt and find it good but looking for alternatives thank you

I agree 100percent! I’ve bought other lip balms but a good lip liner (I use catrice) and carmex and my lips are looking ready for day/ night

Can anyone recommend a good face tan mist? I bought a Bondi Sands one today and it's terrible.
 
Can anyone recommend a good quality eyeshadow palette please? Looking to buy for a friend who usually wears neutrals or smokey colours. Shes really in to her make up but is on a tight budget and her palettes are old so I wanted to treat her to a nice one for her birthday but I don’t know where to start because I only ever use the same 3/4 eyeshadow colours 😅 Budget up to £100.

Thank you, the I need a nude palette looks perfect for the looks she usually goes for. Any rec’s for products to pair with it? I know she’s ok for brushes and they can be quite personal when you find favourites anyway, but maybe a good quality highlighter or something? I’m so clueless so no idea what I’m looking for but she really deserves a treat this birthday.

My favourite highlighter is Lisa Eldrige's. It's glowy but not glittery

Jeffree star the ‘ orgy’ pallet - worthy of every pound , it’s huge , super pigmented and will last forever ! Also , as above , what a lovely friend you are 💜

Annoyingly spenny but tan luxe can’t be matched - just remember to scrub your hands after!

Bought the new Pillow Talk Plumping Gloss from CT. I truly just think it is suuuuuch a universally flattering colour I don’t know how they’ve done it.
