My Final 2true Reviews - Lipgloss and Bronzer

I am so sorry to all concerned that this has taken me so long but I like to try things properly to be sure about them not just use them once and then review them - that's just me I am afraid
As you now a few months ago I was sent a huge batch of 2true goodies from the lovely people at one of my favourite shops Superdrug.
I've said it before but for some reason I had always bypassed this range maybe seeing it as too cheap to be any good I really don't know, so I was delighted to get the chance to try a few bits and I have to say I have been largely impressed with the items I was sent, OK I have had a few quibbles with somethings usually packaging or texture but on the whole they have been pretty good.
One of the products they sent me was the All Over Bronzing Powder in Shade No.2

Described as "long lasting, creates a natural suntanned look" this product I have to admit terrified me it looks so orange / brown in the compact

however after swatching it (quite a heavy swatch here) and using it after my hols I found that it did surprisingly blend out to quite a natural wearable glow with a tiny bit of shimmer. It didn't however have a great deal of staying power and you would possibly need to reapply throughout the day. You get 17g of product in the compact which I have to say isn't the best looking but it does the job perfectly well

I was also sent another Plumptous Lipgloss this time in clear (sorry I don't know what shade number as I can't find my tube at the mo but clear is pretty easy to spot :) )

Again it has a nice fruity taste but it was a bit of a thicker texture than I would normally like however this didn't seem to matter so much with the clear as its easy to splodge on and less obvious than if it was a coloured gloss. It says it's a plumping gloss but I couldn't see any real difference within the fullness or my lips and I didn't feel the familiar tingling sensation that you normally get with lip plumping products. All in all if you like a nice sticky, thick gloss this is certainly a one to try and how doesn't need a clear gloss in their make up bag :)

Excuse the weird pic but you get the idea lol. 2true products are I believe exclusive to Superdrug and are £1.91 each or you can buy 3 items for £5 - bargain beauty indeed! Any questions give me a yell xxx
