Advantages: Everything

Disadvantages: Nothing

Just lately I have been re vamping and modernising my make up bag! I have loads but in there is a load of stuff I just don't use so thanks to Boot's and a load of points to get some free stuff I decided that I'd only go for 'posher' products buck she lol

I've often looked at and never bought Ruby & Millie, Urban Decay and Benefit products, almost bought stuff and put it back at the last minute. I mean I'm not tight at all but £15.00 an eyeshadow etc has always made my blood go cold. It would be different if I could justify my purchases like I've ran out of something but that never happens as I buy all the time for the sake of it. iI don't use cheap products I just buy them! However I bought an Urban Decay and Benefit eyeshadow and they were amazing and pure quality and actually showed up alot of stuff I do use and I got comments on my new products when I wore them as well so shows me it is worth paying more!

My skin tone has always bothered me. With black hair, pale white pasty skin and being tall and slim I get alot of 'oi Mortisha' shouted at me. One guy at speed dating wouldn't speak to me cos he reckoned I was a goth! (I'm not!) I can't tan and fake tans are just that on me. I long to be a little darker but it's never going to happen so I've given up the ghost on that one (boom boom!) lol

However the one area I can create a bit of colour is on my face with blushers and bronzers though even then I do have to be careful cos my face doesn't match my neck and shoulders if I'm not extremely careful! So with blushers and bronzers they can't be too dark and harsh and I find creams in general are more suited to my skin tone and sheer.... all the better for a natural hint of colour!

So looking at Ruby & Millie stand in Boot's I came across this and it really caught my eye!

What the product says for itself....

Ruby & Millie Face Gloss....

Face Gloss is a new way to provide a natural flush to the whole face; cheeks, lips or eyes.

Apply to the cheek from the stick and rub into the cheek area, either under the cheekbone for more contour, or on the cheeks apple for a more flushed look.
For eyes, apply with your fingers swiping under and over the lid, then smudge. For lips, apply with your fingers or a lip brush and use alone or layer over lip colour for a glossy sheen.
Looks great on sun-kissed skin.

When applied the face gloss will give your face a silky shine.

The Packaging....

10g Clear plastic container, silver writing on the front telling me simply it's Ruby & Millie and that is the only writing on it. It's a tall product and then length-ways at the top the colour is and on the back is a ridged kind of button you can give a shove and the product comes up for ease of use. The colour is damp and goes to liquid on your face but it isn't wet as such but it is moist. On the bottom of my product I'm told weight, colour and contact details for Ruby & Millie.

Using It....

Incredibly easy! The colour spreads easy on to a bare face for shimmer or you can use it over the top of foundation, pressed or loose powder. It goes on top of anything and doesn't clog or drag. It simply glides but it isn't greasy!

All of the colours are incredibly shimmery but contain no glitter in them and have no smell to them so I'm not worried about it upsetting my over sensitive skin. The colour that comes out is exactly the same when applied to the skin but goes on very sheer.

I love it! Really this is a product that is just so perfect and versatile. Use it on the cheeks for colour, under cheekbones for definition, as eye shadow (none creasing) and over the top of lipstick as a gloss or as a lippie (no taste).

It's long lasting on the skin in any compacity you want to use it! It's a perfect size for carrying in your bag for instant glamour on the go. Personally on my face applying it once on the face is enough and then i forget about it knowing it works and as eye make up it stays put also, lipstick/gloss it does need reapplying the same as any lipstick/gloss does.

It hydrates the face and is comfortable and none greasy to wear and very simple to use and peps up a tired look instantly.

Verdict...

I'm impressed to hell with this. This is a product that shows that you get what you pay for in life. The only draw back is cos it's more of a moist product it does run down pretty quick particularly if you want to use it for lots of things which I do!
