Garnier UltraLift Challenge Result

Hello Lovely Readers,

As you might remember, I signed up to take part in Garnier UltraLift Challenge. Well today is exactly 14 days since I started, and here are the results.

Now, as I've said before I am one of those people who just doesn't believe the wrinkle reducing claims, but to give Garnier credit they did say "Of course, we can't do the impossible and achieve a permanent lift. But it has been proven that UltraLift does reduce the appearance of wrinkles. So that should give you a lift!" To me that just sounds like saying hey, if you don't see any results, it's not our fault. We didn't promise you the impossible, in fact we even warned you that we can't do the impossible.


Can you see the difference? At first I thought there was a very tiny difference, but that could have been my imagination while staring at myself in the mirror. But seeing the photos side by side, I really don't think there was any change. Or if it was, it is so tiny that I can't tell. The concealer still settles into my lines, and that's all that matters to me because it means the lines are still there!

Oh, and do have to say that for these 14 days I stopped using any facial moisturizers and eye creams (horrible I know) so that nothing could possibly intervene with UltraLift, and so Garnier couldn't say oh but your other stuff must have naturalized the goodness that is UltraLift.

Of course, you could also argue that 14 days is not enough time to see the result and there was SOMETHING happening there, because I felt a tingling sensation everywhere I applied the cream. I think lip plumping products have the same tingling, but I never really used one to know for sure. So if lips could be plumped up, why can't skin be? What do you think, should I give it a go and get the full size product and try?

Last One for I'm Getting Sunburned

Hello Funky Readers,

I'm glad that this is the last one, because honestly I'm getting tired of I'm Getting Sunburned. Oh I still love it, but I'm ready for something new!

This time, instead of applying dark shade on the outside I applied it inside. I must say, it came out... interesting. Maybe I took it too close to the bridge of my nose, or maybe I'm just too critical of myself.

I love this photo because you can see my reflection! :)

Sorry.... NOT about a lot of photos. :)

I find it really cool that this brown shade looks grey when paired up with pink. Yet with the gold, it looks properly brown.

On my lips I'm using Gosh Long Lasting Lip Marker in Berry and Gosh On Stage Cool Lip Jam. Told you I love it! :)

Which palette do you think I should use next?

Are You Getting Tired of I'm Getting Sunburned Yet?

Hello Lovely Readers,

I could, I really could just make one post out of all 7 looks for my 7 day palette challenge, but I can't bring myself to do it. I like showing photos, and for that I need a separate post for every look. I hope you can forgive me. :)

This time I also used all 3 shades, with the darkest one being just an accent.

Now check out how good Posietint looks on me :) I'm in LUV with it.

I am also in love with the combination I have on my lips, Gosh Long Lasting Lip Marker in Berry and Gosh On Stage Cool Lip Jam. I even wore it 2 days in a row, and I see myself wearing it again and again when I want a bright statement lip.

What do you think? Have you tried any of the stuff I used?

June Empties

Hello my Funky Readers,

I don't have a lot of empties this month, so here are is my measly amount of empties.

1. Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream - full review here, for all you noisy bunch, but I can tell you that although I absolutely love it I won't be repurchasing it.... because I found something better! Also by Simple. I think I'll do a full review on it in the next couple of weeks or so.

2. bareMinerals Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo - I don't really know what to say about it. It cleans, it cleans my brushes well, but at £8 for tiny 120ml it's a little too expensive for me, as I use a good amount to clean my brushes. I'll just stick with baby shampoo from now on, if it's gentle enough for a baby butt it is sure gentle enough for any brushes in my opinion.

3. Bourjois Express Eye Makeup Remover - you can read all about how much I love it here. I will be buying again, once I go through some other stuff I got. And definitely will be stocking up on it before I live UK.

4. Botanics Purifying Face Scrub for Normal/Oily Skin - it was too gentle for me, to the point of not even feeling like it was doing anything so I won't be buying it again. But I think for those of you with sensitive skin, it might be good.

Let me know what you finished this month, I love reading posts like that.

My Husband Called Me a Clown FOTD

Hello lovely Funky Readers,

Actually he didn't really call me a clown, but when he was visibly searching for a word I kindly supplied him with "clown". Of course that was exactly the word he was looking for. I have to say, my Mr. Funky is just too wonderful, he actually has an OPINION about my make up and will let me know if he likes it or not! 

At this point you shouldn't be surprised that I've used I'm Getting Sunburn palette. I had fun with it and went for something not-so-usual this time, although I am not all that happy with the end result. Oh well, I had fun and I stood out, and that's all that counts right?

Something is missing, something to bring all the elements together, but I am not sure what it is. I decided that I'll try and figure out when (and if) I attempt this look again.

What do you think? Is there any potential in this look?
