Is Luuux.com a scam?

Sign Up To Luuux.com Here

Hey everyone.

So today i received another email asking me if luuux.com was a scam and do i trust the site.
Iv been asked this question about 5 times before and have always replied back with my thoughts and feelings.

So i signed up to luuux.com right after someone on youtube introduced me to is. Im not sure who it was now as its been just under 1 year ago and iv lost all contact with them for personal reasons but once i was introduced to the site, i went right there and signed up.

after seeing nothing on Youtube about the site i automaticall thought it would be a huge scam and you would somehow have to pay something towards your prize or you would never get it.

How wrong was i?

After 3 months of constantly posting threads, Posting on other peoples threads, liking posts and just genrally having a blast on there i had just enough points to get the Sigma complete set in pink! How excited was i until a bomb shell was dropped on me and i had to earn another 1500 points for the shipping.
So when i had ALL my points i ordered my Sigma set which was at the time just over 4.000 points plus postage of 1500 so it was like 5500ish points.

2 weeks later i had a knock at the door. There was a mail man there holding the parcel. I was totally chuffed because i thought that i would never EVER receive the prize i had ordered.

After recieving that prize i then thought i would try and get more points for the black set as i wanted one for everyday and one for travel. When i had enought points for that and ordered it..2 and a half weeks later, another knock at the door and another set of black sigma brushes!!

It just goes to show that you should always try something out for yourself!
Iv always looked for a site like this and im so glad that i have now found one.

Iv made so many good friends on there and so many loyal subscribers and i just love going to the site and have a nosey at all the threads. You can find some really interesting stuff on there so what are you waiting for? Go take a look now and earn points and get your prizes =D

Growing up: Wisdom tooth pain!

We all have to grow up. Even though some of us don't want to and we want to stay young forever, unfortunately its a part of life and it comes to everyone.

While growing up your body will change in many ways but today we are going to discuss Wisdom teeth.

If you dont know what they are, Their the teeth that come through right at the back of your mouth. These teeth are the last ones to come through.
They can cause alot of unwanted pain.
I am 22 and my 4 wisdom teeth have just started to come through all together causing me alot of pain and sleepless nights.

Wisdom teeth normally come through whilst a young person is going through their first year of college when they can less afford this to happen. It catches most people off guard and unfortunately this can not be helped.

Some people just like me are scared of having extractions, Therefore i will have to just put up with the pain but some people are willing to through and have them surgically removed.


If you are having alot of pain with your wisdom teeth then you may want to think about having a trip to your dentist for him to give you some information in coping with the pain or maybe he could give you some medication which you can take to ensure the the pain is eased or numbed.

There are some over the counter medication and also home remedies which can ease or temporarily relieve the pain such as:
Clove Oil: Apply the clove oil with a sterile cotton bud to the gum line. Clove oil has a local aesthetic and mild antiseptic effect and can be used to temporarily relieves toothache.

Ice: Sucking on ice or holding an ice pack to the gum line for a couple of minutes will numb the area to provide temporary relief. This should only be done for a maximum of 20 minutes a time.
Gargling salt water: Walm salt water acts like a tonic to remove any bacteria and will help with any inflammation of the gum tissue.

Gently Massaging: By massaging your gum gently can help as it increases the blood circulation to the area to promote healing as well as pain relief.

These are just a few ways to relieve the pain you get and there are many ways you can read about on the internet.

You should also try and take your mind off your pain as much as you can. In the past i have tried various ways to help with the pain of normal toothache such as training my mind to move the pain to somewhere else in my body like my arm but this time it does not seem to work as the pain is pretty severe.

I hope this post has helped you and if you need any more information (Im not a dentist but im here to help) then feel free to let me know and i will do what i can to help you. If you would like to share your experiences with me or maybe let me know your own remedies or how you coped with wisdom tooth pain that please feel free to leave a comment.

Someones been using my channel to get freebies!!

I had an email earlier this week from a company that i have never contacted saying(I have left the company name out):

'Greetings Sarah-Louise


Back in June we sent you some products for you to review.
I have scrolled through your resent reviews and still cannot find the review for (Company)
We have contacted you countlessly on (Email address) and we are getting no reply. We think we might have been blocked from emailing you.


Please could you send me the link to your review.


Thankyou


Regards


(Mellissa (PR of .........)'

At this time i had a look myself through my reviews and also through passed emails from back in June and noticed that i had never contacted this company.

I sent an email saying:

'Hi Mellissa.


Could you please let me know the date that you sent the products out as i havent before heard of your company nor have i contacted you about collaborating with your company.
The email address that you have just stated isn't mine as i always use either (Private email) or xoxkissablebeautyxox@:hotmail.co.uk and my shipping address is ........................ and i have lived here for over 2 years now.
I'm unsure what has gone on here and i really hope we can get to the bottom of this.'


Soooo emails were passed back and forth and the only conclusion that we have come up with is the fact that someone is using my YouTube channel to get freebies from companies!

I asked for the country, Town or city where they were told to post the products and they said it was somewhere in Kent! I don't even live anywhere near Kent.

After explaining the problem to the company and appologising about the whole thing (Which was nothing to do with me) they are now following this up themselves with the mailing office and also the police department if needed.

This is an act of theft and to all the companies that this mean person had contacted, Im very sorry.
I hope that this was the only company that has been taken for a ride but i have myself tried emailing the address they gave me and im not getting anything back from them either.'


If your a company which would like to collaborate with me then send an email to xoxkissablebeautyxox@hotmail.co.uk.
That is the only email address i will be using from now on. I wont even be using my private email address.


Anwyays, ill keep you posted about this matter and let you now whats going on when i know. Im not sure if ill hear anything back from that company or from any other companies about this issue but i will be also making a video on my channel and also my facebook fanpage.

Thankyou and i hope you have a beautiful night (9.35pm here)

Fish Spa? Really? Yay or nay?

So fish spar's have been around in the UK for some time now. Im not sure just how long but just last month my town opened a store which has a fish spa in one of the side rooms so i just had to check it out.

So a fish spa is there you sit down and have tiny little fish called Doctor fish feed on your skin. They take away all the bad or infected skin leaving fresh soft skin. Great if you have hard heels!
Doctor fish are made up of two different species Garra Rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus.

Iv never, ever had a fish spa and i never will. Like several american states and Canada provinces i feel the fish spar is totally unsanitary and is a risk to peoples health.

Think about it. If a doctor fish feeds on an infected wound or piece of skin that person may get rid of whatever problem they have. But the same fish is then going to feed on the next customer which may just have dead skin and no big problem. Therefore that person is in serious risk of then getting that infection.
The staff do not change the water in the tank either so your putting your feet in dirty water that all of their customers prior to you have had their feet in. Disgusting huh?

So next time you feel like going to take a fish spa or if your thinking of taking one for the first time, Take this post into consideration.

So here is the question...Fish spa...Yay or nay?
What do you think about fish spas?

Have a brilliant day.


Get a Tantastic tan and join the other bronzed beauties this summer!

Thinking of getting a beautiful tan?
Not enough sun?
Dont want to spend tons in the salon or for that matter get skin cancer from the sun beds?

No fear! Tantastic is here!!

So what makes Tantastic so great?
Tantastic is easy to apply and is great to apply all year round. It contains Vitamin E which is great for your body, Lasts up to 5 days and leaves  you with a gorgeous sun kissed glow with flawless results.
Tantastic contains only 100% natural DHA which has been approved but Ecocert.

My thoughts on this product.
Yesterday was the 2nd time ever at using tanning lotion. I used a different brand some years ago around the age of 16 and had a really bad experience where the tan was all uneven, Streaks and i also started to come out in a rash. It was an allergic reaction to something in the lotion. I swore id never use tanning cream again but seeing how many people love Tantastic made we want to try it.

After asking Tantastic for a sample to review i got nervous to actually apply it. I was about to bottle it until the package got here and i thought to myself, Why not? Its worth a try.

So after reading more reviews from random bloggers and youtubers i grabbed the tanner and a mirror, Along with the tanning mitt and hid away in my bedroom to apply it.
I got really scared as the lotion was a really dark brown but once i started to apply it i felt so much better. I totally forgot to get myself a back brush so that i didn't have to try and do some kind of funny little dance or rip my arm out the socket just to get to my back and i didn't have a partner to apply it there as my boyfriend cant stand the smell of most of the products i put on so i did it myself.

Anyway, After applying it all over my body it was time for my face. This got really scary as i could see the tan was actually developing right away on the rest of my body but i did it and evened it all out.

2 Hours passed and after anxiously checking my tan ever 2 minutes i felt that enough was enough. I couldn't last the whole 7 hours and i just had to go in the shower and wash it off before it got even darker.

I could actually see the product draining away when i washed it off but the tan still stayed and after drying myself off i have to admit i fell straight inlove with the way it turned out.

My legs are so bronze and beautiful. My arms look gorgeous, My face and everything looks amazing. I was completely shocked.
It looks like iv been away to a very hot country for a few weeks and just bathed in the sun. Talk about tantastic!!

I barely have to put any foundation on anymore as the tan looks so great on my face and even though i didn't apply vaseline to my hairline to stop me getting tide marks, It blended in so evenly and looked amazing.

When i got up in the morning though i looked more golden but that's to be expected as the tan was more then likely still developing even though i had showered.

The only problem is that i do have darker hands and also a little bit of an orange palm but i think that's because i must have touched my body with my hand while the tan was developing.
No fear though, Ill just get some fake tan remover or iv heard that nail polish remover does the same. Also bleach with water but no thankyou...Never put bleach on your body =/


My tips for beginners
Even though most companies and people who have used tanners before tell you to put the tan on before bed, DONT.
While your sleeping you cant see just how dark your tan is going. Tanners will develop more with the warmth and by the morning your going to end up darker then you originally wanted to be.

I suggest you apply it either in the morning or in the afternoon. When you can stay in and keep checking. If your like me and your worried about how dark it will go when its fully developed then you'll want to be awake and alert, Ready to run to the shower if it gets passed your liking.


Would i recommend this product?
Definatly! I love Tantastic and even though i haven't tried any other self tanners to compare it to, I would definatly recommend this tanner to anyone.
They do a few different tanners such as an Instant Tan which is a liquid a BronzerSpray tan and then they have a Gel tan. The gel tan comes in a body gel and then a gel just for your legs.

The one i used was the tanning gel which was for the body and legs.

They say that the tanning product does NOT have a smell to it. In my opinion it does. I could definatly smell something all the time it was on and after i showered the smell was still there but it was much fainter.
This morning when i woke the smell had gone and one ore huge biggie with this product is that it dried after a few minutes and didnt leave my bedsheets all orange like some people admit to coming across with other companies tanners.


So like i said, I would definatly recommend this tanner to anyone. If you have sensitive skin like me then its fine. If your still abit weary then do a 24-72 hour skin test. Dab a small amount of tanner just behind your ear like you would do with a hair colour test and lave it. if it itches or burns then remove it with warm water and soap.


Thankyou so much to tantastic for the oppotunity to review this amazing product. I loved it and im coming back for more when iv ran out.

Have a beautiful day everyone and if you have any questions feel free to leave me a comment or email me at xoxkissablebeautyxox@hotmail.co.uk.

Stay beautiful

Yay or Nay to mascara adverts with fake lashes?

All over the tv, Women AND men and using fake lashes. Take the commercials for instance. Those gorgeous looking women who do the mascara adverts with those long voluminous lashes. WRONG! Their fake lashes. Just some time ago a high brand did a tv advert for a mascara which was just being released. Little did they tell you that the celebrity was actually wearing around 3 to 4 layers of lashes to get that look.

The advert actually got banned and they made another with the exact same celebrity and mascara, With all the lashes included but at the bottom in tiny size 4ish print was something saying 'Model is wearing lashes'.
If you blinked during the advert then you would have definatly missed it.

Do you think this should be allowed? I dont! I think it should be banned and we should be able to see the exact effect that the mascara gives you. Normally clumped up lashes that smudges everywhere and takes 10 minutes to dry....Slight exaggeration there =)

Some poor girls are thing WOW i want some of that. I want my lashes to look as gorgeous as that. Little do9 they know there are fake lashes involved. Its called being too gullible.

Anyway, what do you think? Should they be allowed to do adverts with the lashes on or should they be made to apply the mascara without them to show the mascaras full potential?

Also, What is your favourite mascara right now? Im loving the Gosh Mascara!!

The rules to a gorgeous tan

You've some to the decision  that its time to take the next step into your beauty life.
TANNING! You've seen all your friends try it and rock that beautiful tan goddess look, Now its time for you to have a go.

First Rule to tanning is to prepare your skin.
Always moisturise after you've come out of the shower. Leave 24 hours between shaving and applying your tan else your going to have extremely itchy legs!

Exfoliate: Gently scrub your body all over before tanning. This will lift all and remove all of the dead skin cells leaving you with clean fresh skin ready for tanning.
Applying fake tan to dry uneven skin will leave you with a flaky tan.

Moisturise: Apply moistoriser before tanning. let it fully soak in before appling the tan. Apply a small amount of moistoriser to the parts of your body which are the most dry such as your elbows, Knees and feet.

Gloves and Mitts: To avoid getting orange hands, Use a latex glove or mitt to apply your tan. After tanning the rest of your body then use a cotton wool ball to apply the tiniest amount to the back of your hands and your fingers. Interlock your fingers like your washing your hands to make sure that between your fingers are covered in fake tan.


The back: Unless you have someone who is willing to apply the tan to your back or you have incredibly long, stretchy arms then you will need a back brush. You can get these from a body shop or online.

Vaseline: Dab a small amount of vaseline into your hairline and eyebrows to prevent tide marks.

Buffing: Once your tan is applied. use a buffing mitt to gently buff any build up away. This helps spread the tan more evenly and avoids varying shades.

Clothing: Wear loose, Dark clothing after tanning to avoid any marks getting onto your clothes. Keep your legs bare to show off your gorgeous tan!

Removing unwanted tan: Has your tan gone horribly wrong? You can get self tan remover from any drug store or online.
Also use this on orange palms if you've decided to use your hands to apply your tan. Grab a cotton wool ball, Apply a small bit of the remover and then gently apply to your palms or wherever you want the tan removing.

Re applying: Now that your tan is just the way you like ir, Keep moistorising each and every tag to maintain a perfect tan. Re apply when needed.


And there you have it. A few rules to the perfect tan.

Warning to buyers....AveYou

Hey Guys and Girls.

So the other day i ordered something from Ave You. I was asked to do a review on their products, site and overall experience. So they gave me a $150.00 gift card so i could have the full experience of the site and how it all worked.

Choosing the products was fine. There was a little problem with finding the products i actually wanted and they have their site in sections but when you search something you sometimes don't get what you want....You get something entirely different so that was a little annoying.
I choose a lot of O.P.I products because everything else was either too expensive ot i just didn't need it.
It came to $110 and $35 shipping.

I added everything... Paid and waited for it to be shipped.

A shipping/tracking number come through the next day and i tracked the parcel all the way to the UK and then i noticed it said it was being processed by customs.
I emails Ave You about this and asked what happened, Apparently it would be with me after it had been processed...No mention of custom charges!

2 days late it said it had passed customs...and then someone supposedly tried to deliver it which i know for a fact that they didn't because it was at 6.30am and they don't even start delivering till 7am!

Anyway.... A letter came in the post with a £26.36 shipping fee on it....Baring in mind that i have NEVER had this from any other on-line company. Even the big ones!!

I mailed Ave You and they gave me some long email back saying about how it was illegal to not put the full value....I then said 'Why don't you put it as a gift like it is'....They come back with the same email so it was like they just copied from a book!!

Anyway...I phoned parcel force up and sent the package back. I'm so glad i never spent real cash on those products.

At the end of the day, If i am reviewing a products then the company should take care of the customs fees and everything because they will get ALOT more back from what they have been charged to send a package to me. They should put it down as being a gift as that is what it is. I'm not paying for the products so its a gift...Right?

Iv never got this with any other company so far so I'm just saying...If your from the UK (And its happened to people in US and Canada as well...All over the world actually) then only order £18 or less else your going to be whacked with a large sum on top of your order and it will seem pretty pointless getting stuff from them as you'll be paying half or double on top =/

Buyers be aware!!

Ill never be buying anything from this company in the future.
The experience with them has been terrible!
