Beauty Products not worth the hype

Hey guys,
Hope you have all had a chance to read Vintage Photoshoots, and are excited for the 31st! Thanks again for all the offers, but we are sorted with Models and Photographers now.

Beauty Products not worth the
Hype 

These products may still work for you, but when we tested them we didn't think they were up to the standard. 

1. Barry M Dazzle Dust

Im not sure quite when I started to hear about the dazzle dust, but at the beginning of the Barry M Craze, they appeared out of no where. 

When I actually used it, I must say I was not impressed. Firstly by the amount of mess that it caused. Maybe it was the way I applied it, but I just remember having to clean up so much glitter after woulds, off of my ; Hands, Mirror, Floor and Face. 

I felt it looked too harsh, somehow latched to the creases in my Eyelids ( Even using a good primer!) and the fallouts were just ridiculous. 

2. Colour Unlimited Lip gloss

Apologies for bad picture quality :-)

 These lipglosses came about in a sudden Burst of "Bright Lip fashion". Lots of videos were made, featuring them. In all of these videos, the women seem really impressed with the lip glosses. 

For me, they were too shiny. I felt they were just siting on my lips. Shiny lips are pretty, but when they look overboard, gooey and sticky.. that's when its too far.

A minor critisism, is that is smelt funny. Im not sure what of.. but I just know that I didn't want to put it on my Lips.

3. Revlon Colourstay Whipped Creme

This product really made an impact in the Vlogging community, so many videos feature this Foundation. Describing how light, and easy to apply. 

Whereas on my skin I found it Heavy. Perhaps I applied it wrong. My skin is also very oily on my T-Zone, so it made my face shiny. So for £12.30 I think I will pass on this one. 

Its not something I would buy again, that's for sure. But maybe Im just applying it wrong, and helps? Whats it like for you?

4. Revlon Lipstain 

Its like pick-on Revlon day! Sorry Revlon, but this product wasn't worth the hype either. 

I have heard so very much about lipstain's. So.So.Much. 

It seems everyone was obsessed with them! I could see why, they were lighter to put on and smelt lush. So I went out and bought one. 

I found Revlon Lipstain's were too light! And quickly wore off. Even the eight hour ones faded quickly on my lips. And the moisturizing Balm did nothing to help it stay on, but simply buttered my lips. 

Although the colours had a wonderful range, I found they looked very similar on me.

On the Plus they smell amazing, and give your lips a pretty shine. But were a disappointment, and not worth all the hype that they got on the Web.

5. All-in-One BB Cream.
From The Body shop. 

B-B cream is big at the moment! And although others have worked for me, the one from the Body Shop was such a disappointment. 

I personally love the body shop, but this realisation made me realise I should shop around more for beauty products. I found this BB cream advertised so often, and hurried off to the shop to buy it!

But when I finally got round to using it, it was average. It didn't provide that much coverage for me,so I found myself applying Foundation, Concealer and SPF products. The lacking of Sun Protection irritated me. Its still a good coverer, but its not a one-step and out the door Item - Which the Hype showed it to be.

And at the time priced at £20... boo :(

Have a wonderful new year ! By the team xxx

Hey guys , 
Its your old pal country rose here to say , I want you all to have an absolutely wonderful new year. Eat lots of yummy stuff and have a heck of a fun time. 2013 is going to be wonderful.


If im totally honest , i had a really awful 2012 , so i want to have a great new year. And I want you to have one too! This isn't going to be my last post of the year , but i want to list my top ten favorite things this year! Vintage wise of course! 


1. The Body shop!
I absolutely love this shop , and im surprised i didn't shop there much , but i really started to pay attention to it in 2012. The beautiful natural lipsticks , the makeup , the body moisturizers , all wonderful and good for the planet ! A really great shop that will always stay in my favorites.

2. Rings! 
As if you couldn't tell by most post on rings , i absolutely love them .In all shapes and sizes, whether for humorous values , like my cute accessorize moustache ring , that i can't help but adore , to my FAVORITE , my topshop flower ring .





3. The Volkswagen Beetle ! 
Whether it is the old model of the beetle 
Or the newer brands ...




I can't help but love them. Buttercup would prefer one in red, Tiger-lily , My beautiful friend :) , likes them in baby pink , but I have always loved them in light tea green. What about you ?


4. Peter Pan collar tops! 
Those tops with the cute collars , that buttercup has a lot of.They really help to spruce up any plain top , and make it fashionable and modern.We at Vintage Country Rose adore.

Buttercup has this one !!!


5. Messy bun's 
You dont have to worry about how messy your hair looks anymore,  with the messy bun you can assure yourself that you always look stylish , without having to re-do your hair every five minutes. For a casual senorita like myself , this is ideal , for no stress in the mornings , so maybe you can get to school on time for once ;) Isn't that right Tiger-Lil? 

Buttercup's beautiful messy bun there guys :D She was born to be a model you see!


6. Indie Music ( YES) 
I must confess something , my dear readers...I hate pop music , and skrillex ...did i spell that right? I have no idea.I will explain why you see , they repeat the same couple of lines over and over! And dubstep is just noise! Not music at all.( in my opinion :) ) 

I love indie music , and most other genres. So im happy it was in this year , so its easier to be able to find new songs.I love the sound , and it fits vintage really easily .


7. Red Lips 
Red lips were back in this year , i do love a little pop of colour on my lips , so it was so cool! 





8. Patterned leggings
They have been  all around this year , not just in winter , but even in summer. Whether Christmas themed , with reindeer and snowmen or with aztec patterns and bold colours. They are so easily wearable , they really brighten up an outfit! 



9. Knee- high socks!
Every shape and size can appreciate these amazing wonders! With many different colours and lengths to choose  from, there is a style or everybody (: They are quirky, fun and are great for expressing individuality. 
( By the way hai ^^ I'm Tiger-lily, and I'm in love with socks (: oh and Buttercup and The country Rose  who is also elvis:- which changes everything. . . obviously (; <3) xx


10. Khaki jackets
We likey. Lots and Lots, which is all we can say. We can also say that it makes us feel powerful >:)  Mwahahahahah We shall over ride the world!! (with our AWESOMENESS, oh and with our khaki jackets ! 






Have a wonderful year you lot , and please continue to bring those ratings up in the new year. Good luck! And hope you have a wonderful time !! :D

The Country Rose , ButterCup , Tiger-Lily and Snowdrop!
