HUSH Anesthetic Tattoo Numbing Spray.. IT WORKS ON YOUR EYEBROWS TOO!

Hey there! As promised I am writing a  ''little'' review on this product.. BUT there may be a few alterations..

Shipped from America, I think right now it is only in the States but it does ship internationally although the postage is quite high. Maybe I bought it from the wrong place (ebay). I knew I had a tattoo booked for around 2 weeks time  from when I was purchasing.
I can be so impulsive at times. As soon as I see something I just get over excited, rush and buy. Without any thought. Like a child at Christmas opening  a present while he has a slight incline about what may be inside.

The day comes around, looking forward to getting the next session done on my sleeve.. When my little gorgeous 5 year old becomes unwell and I am no longer able to attend!
I instantly contact my tattooist  and I end up loosing out on my £40 deposit yet he still wants another £30 and that is of 'good will' ...
I have never experienced anything like this before, I was not notified this would happen. I felt as If some contract needed to be signed before I underwent any agreement. "That is just the way it is , he said.

My son ill, I've lost £70 and I was not able to use HUSH, My day was not going to plan at all!
I decided to take charge.

Staring at my self in the mirror, what do I do? Spray it on my arm then pinch myself? - Well it says on the back of the product that you spray it onto broken skin, so  that didn't work..

*think think think* ... Does 'the noodle' dance ....  '!'

What are one of the most irritating beauty procedures women endure? Eyebrow plucking? I think so!
*Started to pluck* ... *pain* "ouch" .. *sprays HUSH anesthetic* ... oh my days!

It was numb! Only took about a minute   and I was plucking for England. Repeating after every few hairs being removed, spraying  onto the broken skin as the instructions say!

This probably  has to be the worst review ever, but 'm feeling good for posting something about it.

The product really does work, obviously testing it while being tattooed would be the best way, but this will do me for now.

Thank you for reading :o)

KIKO 'Cleansing Wipes' are NOT for the facial area.

SO. After a lovely trip in London,  over spending.. or what I like to call my ''I deserve it so I treated myself'' time. Popping into the likes of John Lewis, MAC and so forth (IMATS was only  a day away- How female of me.).
I then stumbled upon KIKO. After  hearing many good things, especially  the 'Scrub & Peel wipes', my mind was set on buying some. As I walked in I see SALE. This is either good or bad but either way its more money flying out of my pocket.

At many items of only £2.50 I went a little crazy but one of the many products I bought by KIKO was the 'Cleansing Wipes'. The are in a green colored aluminum style packet, real pretty looking, they even went well with my red hair.

Days passed. Weeks. I actually forgot about them until I was filming a video tonight and  realised  that my camera was not even recording! 2 hours wasted, in front of the mirror getting all glammed up, and for nothing. So in my despair I reached for the wipes  and started to rub  off the make up but nothing was really happening.  I thought to myself, I just used an eye primer by 'Too Faced' for the first time, is it really that good? The makeup was glued to my face and would not budge! I seized to persist and carried on wiping but my cheeks started to look red and my eyes were tingling.

Eventually I read the packet; Hand Wipes With Sanitizing Action.. and on back; Use the Wipes on Hands and Objects. ... Ghastly. Luckily my skin is not overly sensitive so hoping the redness will go down by tomorrow! (fingers crossed)

Was this misleading? Or please tell me we all have these ditsy moments?! Although they are seeming more frequent as I am getting older! Hehe.


Regardless, I  did purchase some very  gorgeous products by KIKO which I  will share with you.

KIKO Water Color EyeShadow in Shades :
208 Light Gold, 223 EggPlant Purple, 228 Taupe, 229 Pearly Grey.
They  look stunning, true their color with application - extremely high pigmented.


They are out of this world - Very similar (and I mean to a 'T') to the MAC 'Extra Dimension' eyeshadows.. but HALF the price!


Please let me know  if you have  made any silly mistakes like me? Also have you tried any products by KIKO?

Lots of Love, Amy

ILLAMASQUA 'COMPLEMENT' PALETTE & DUPE!!!

After a long time of finding out about Illamasqua, with alot of 'umming' and 'Ahhing' I finally decided which palette I wanted so I dived right in!

The 'Complement' palette is beautiful and extremely versatile. Many different combinations for day or night. I personaly like to use all 4 shades together: Slink, Focus, Queen of the night and Forgiveness, then really emphasise those highlighting areas with 'Slink' to make it all POP!

As Illamasqua is more higher end of the market, I mean.. compared to say 'Bourjois' or 'Barry M'. This palette cost a hefty £34/ $50.

For only 4 shades of about 4.5m some I'm sure some people would think it was a rip off, seeing as you can get the NAKED1/2 palette by Urban Decay for the same price..but there is just something about Illamasqua that makes you feel.. seductive. Am I right?

Like many ladies I do like to indulge  but when it comes to make-up the main thing is making it last! Luckily eyeshadows have around a 2 year life expectancy but even if your a frequent user of your product its definitely not going to last that long, especially the Illamasqua palette!

So the other day while I became engrossed in all of the gorgeous make-up on the internet; I stumbled upon the 'Bourjois Eye Pearl' in the color 'Illusion 62'.. and wow! The palette of 5 colors instantly reminded me of the Illamasqua 'Complement', and at a severe reduction in price.. £8-£10! It has many many similarites but minus the cream shadow 'Focus', I was very happy I found it.

With the new similar  palette you can  really make your more prestige product last longer but still enjoying them both at the same time. I think this is a great way of making your favorite make-up last.

If anyone else has any 'dupes' on prestige products I would be very interested to know and please comment!
