Caboodles Cleansing Cloth

I first noticed caboodles when a friend who visited America brought back loads of make up by this company. It was such girlie stuff and I knew I had to get some for myself.

The name was quite strange to begin with but then after a while it just began to sound like a fun name. I wasn’t sure where to get this name from so I did a search on the internet and not many sites sold it, actually none sold it, I only managed to find articles ...

The name was quite strange to begin with but then after a while it just began to sound like a fun name. I wasn’t sure where to get this name from so I did a search on the internet and not many sites sold it, actually none sold it, I only managed to find articles on the brand.

One day I was out shopping and decided to pop into Superdrug to get some little things when I noticed a caboodles stand. Not in an orderly fashion I legged it to the stand. It was a very colourful stand, just like the actual makeup.

LIP GLOSS~~

The reason I wanted to get this makeup so badly was because of the smell of the lip-glosses. The smell was just lush, they had so many different scents from Strawberry to Apple. I purchased the flavour strawberry cream, which is apart of the Fruitopian range. They also had lots of types of lip-glosses, from plain flavoured ones to coloured scented ones. These lip-glosses come in a dinky little tube. The tube is quite fashionable and is made out of plastic. It is a much better applicator, I mean I hated gloss pots, they’re just so messy, this is quite neat! It is quite small but has a lot of gloss in it. The gloss is quite sticky but it looks great over a lipstick, I always use the clear lip-gloss over my lipstick ‘Goth’ which as you can guess is really dark. It adds a shine to my lips, which I love! Honestly when my lip gloss runs out I run to Superdrug to try out another flavour!

LIP BALM~~

There were quite a few flavours of lip balm but I found the shape of the pot quite irritating. It was shaped as a flower, very pretty but quite annoying! Well the flavours were very nice but the one that caught my attention was Cotton Candy! Since I’m the candyfloss queen that was a must! It smelt lovely and it was a pink colour although clear on lips. It was in a cute pot but I didn't realise it was quite messy until I got home, still take it everywhere though! Candyfloss queen needs it!

LIP SUNDAE METALLIC LIPGLOSS~~

This is a nifty little product. I bought the colour ‘Raspberry Freeze’. It’s a silver/purple kind of colour and is really cool. This comes in a tube just like the flavoured lip-gloss. The applicator is useful and isn’t messy. This lip-gloss also has a nice fruity scent, which is nice. The colour is nice and metallic which is good for applying over lipstick to add sheen. I also use it on my eyelids as an eye shadow, which is really cool because a lot of eye creams have been introduced and are pretty much in fashion so this is quite useful for lips and eyes.

LIP SHINE LIPGLOSS~~

This lip shine is quite different to the lip-glosses because it’s in a long glass container, which is different but nice, looking. They mostly come in plain, nude colours. I bought a white/silver one and it kind of makes me look a bit weird so its best to use over lipstick as it can look a bit too natural at times. The applicator is very good and it’s like a brush. I wasn’t too fond of the shape of the container cause it looked a bit weird but was different.

LIPSICLE LIPGLOSS~~

When I first saw this I thought it was eyeliner in very, very strange colours. The applicator is quite long but makes it look a bit more exciting. It is cute packaging but the applicator is slightly annoying. When its running out and you’ve still got some left don’t expect to be able to use it!

SHIMMERING POWDER~~

This comes in a cute little pot with loose shimmering powder. The container is quite small but there is quite a lot of powder in the pot. There have been so many occasions where I lose my balance whilst holding the pot so make sure you don’t loose the contents on doing something dopey like myself! I sometimes mix this with other loose powder and you can make pretty cool colours. I sometimes but Vaseline on my eyes then put some powder on. It usually stays on by itself though. It can be used anywhere even though it seems there absolutely nothing in it.

NAIL PAINT~~

I have only ever bought one caboodles nail polish and I must admit I didn’t like it much. the colour was nice but the bottle was a bit ugly. It looked a bit cheap and the applicator wasn’t all that either. The colour was probably the best thing (which is what ‘most’ people look for in a nail polish, but not me!) it had a nice colour and lasted quite a while, if only the packaging was a bit nicer.

LIP CRAYON~~

Now this is what I call cool! The lipstick was easy to apply and there was quite a lot of moisture in the lip crayon too, which left my lips really soft and smooth. I really liked the colours but most are quite natural and don’t show up on your lips, its more like a gloss cause you don’t really see the colour but still its groovy!

PACKAGING~~

When I first saw a picture of caboodles make up I fell in love with the packaging – how sad but then again that’s me. It was colourful and chic. It was small which means you can take it anywhere and they have a huge variety, which is useful. I love the way you are meant to apply lip-gloss and the tubes are just so cute! I liked the shape of the pot for the lip balm but it wasn’t very practical. I thought the shimmering powder pot looked tiny as if there was nothing in it but it was cute and since you only use the shimmer sparingly it lasts for ages. The pot was quite messy though, which is a downside. I thought the lip shine lip-gloss packaging was a bit weird, it looked like mascara packaging but it was different and looked quite expensive. The packaging for the lipsicle lip-gloss was very strange, it looked like packaging for eyeliner and the long applicator was quite unnecessary. The only packaging I disliked was the nail paint the bottle looked quite cheap and the top bit was way too wide. I love the colourful stands in Superdrug too, adds a very nice touch!

PRICES~~

I think caboodles products are very reasonably priced. Lip glosses only cost £2.99. That includes the Fruitopian and the lip sundae metallic coloured ones. I think that is a good price for a lip-gloss that lasts for quite a while with a trendy tube too.
The lip balm cost £2.79, which I think, is a good price but for a lip balm is a bit pricey. It’s got nice packaging and smells nice but that’s about it.
The lip shine lip-gloss cost me £2.99 also, which I felt, was worth it because the packaging looked quite expensive and the product was quite good.
The lipsicle Lip-gloss was also £2.99, which is ok I think, I don’t think it was anything special.
The shimmering powder cost £2.99, which I think is worth it because the product does last quite a while even though it looks like it doesn’t.
The nail paint cost £2.99, which was good value as other nail polishes are about £3.99. They are quite nice colours and if your looking for different colours look no further.
The lip crayon was £3.49, which I wasn’t too sure about. It was easy too apply but the colours didn’t show up too well so I don’t think its brilliant value for money but useful to use over lipstick.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE~~

Caboodles do a lot of lip products but I would like to see some blushers or maybe some eyeliners. I really like the lip products but would like to see them expand a bit more. Also I think they would be successful if they sold make up accessories such as make up bags and brushes. The range is so girlie and I know for a fact that I would buy accessories from them.
I think if Caboodles made an official site that sells all the products that would be very useful cause I would probably be on it every day! That would be a good idea if they sold products online. Also it would provide consumers with information about the brand, as many people I know have no idea what caboodles is.
I think it would be great if stores like Boots sold this make-up brand, the more stores they sell it in the more popular it will become.

OVERALL~~

I think this is a good brand and I personally think they will become a lot more popular in this country. They’re products are different and very colourful. I absolutely love this brand. I buy so much make up by this brand its pathetic! Still have a few more products to try though!!
