News in Makeup | Rimmel and Collection

Hey Guys! and yes you've guessed it, more reviews! 

 Today, the products I'm looking at are the Rimmel scandal eyes mascara, the Rimmel stay matte powder, and the Collection lasting perfection concealer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, Mascara is something I cannot live without. I hate false lashes and stay away from them as much as I can but I still love hugely defined Lashes. This mascara was perfect for me as the brush is huge allowing a lot of application in a small amount of time. 

My only complaint is when i first got it, there was a lot of excess product on the brush which made the lashes a bit too clumpy, so make sure to have an eyelash brush or dry mascara brush on hand to just brush through after. 

Other than that, its a brilliant mascara, makes my eyelashes look full and thick and I will definitely be repurchasing. 

This retails at around £6.99 but look out for offers as I managed to get mine as a free gift!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The stay matte powder is one of my favourite things. So much so that I currently have 2 because I really don't want to run out. It really helps mattify foundation and removed any excess shine that you wouldn't want. 

I love this powder!

Personally, I would stear away from transparent, just because I love to try and add a little colour to my face because I am exceptionally pale. However I stick within the first 5 or so colours so I'm not branching out hugely!

This powder is a steal at £3.99. If you can, get one. Its fantastic!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the much raved about Collection Lasting perfection concealer and I'm going to say now, I understand the hype. Apart from the fact I picked up too light a shade (hard to do but I managed) I find this amazing. Its not too heavy but thick so leaves a good coverage. 

As mine is too light, I double it as a highlighter and just rub it across my cheekbones - that works too! 

I am repurchasing in a darker shade and then I'm sure I could rave about this even more! I can't wait. 

This product retails at around £4.19 and many a beauty guru have said how good it is for a high street product. I recommend this product!

Well guys! Thats it for another review! Thanks for reading!

News In Makeup | Topshop, Sleek and Rimmel

Hey Guys, So today I want to talk about 3 other products that are a combination of new and old.

They are the Rimmel Wake me up foundation, The sleek blush and the Topshop lipstick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first product I want to talk to you about is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. This foundation is one of my favourites I have ever tried. Not only does it feel light and refreshing on the skin but it has a rather good coverage and leaves my skin looking dewy and healthy. 

I have the colour Ivory which I believe is the lightest available which is a shame because I personally could do with a lighter shade. None the less an amazing buy and I recommend this to anyone who loves a god liquid foundation.

If you find you have dry skin I would maybe stay away from this as I find if I do have any dry patches that it sticks around them and doesn't have as nice a finish.

It retails at £8.99 but is often available in offers if you time them right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next product I am going to talk about is the Topshop lipstick. This is one of my newer purchases as I have ventured into the world of lipstick having been a lip gloss girl before.  I found this lipstick to be very pigmented, very moisturising and just had a lovely finish. I put on lip balms before I apply lipstick because I do suffer from dry lips and I think this just worked really well.
This is the colour Ohh La La which is a lovely pinkish coral colour - perfect for summer. It looks brighter in the photo than it does on the lips I promise!
I have really pale skin and I thought this would look terrible on me and I am still unsure of the shade but none the less the lipstick itself was fantastic and I am very excited to add more of these to my collection in the future.

For £8 a lipstick these are a bargin as they are a much better quality than some of the drugstore ones and yet are under £10. If you are looking for a staple lip colour check out the topshop range! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next up is my sleek blush in the shade Rose Gold which is a dupe for the very famous Nars Orgasm blush. This colour is incredible and for those who can't afford the £21.50 price tag of a nars blush, these sleek versions are a fantastic alternative. They even have similar packaging! 

The colour comes out lovely and shimmery. Its a pinkish colour with gold sparkle which is just a lovely summer colour and I have been using this every day! 

Highly pigmented and a fantastic bargin at £4.49. You can order sleek online or find it in superdrug.

News in makeup | Mua, Sleek, Barry M and Revlon

Okay, so today I had a little bit or a splurge - to add to the one I already had last week.

So, I got the Mua Heaven and Earth Palette, the sleek contour kit in light, and 3 barry M nail paints, 2 gelly high in the colours prickly pear, and greenberry. Then I spotted the limited edition bright green nail paint and just had to pick it up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the Heaven and Earth palette from Mua. I'm a massive fan of neutral and natural tones so this looked ideal for me and a bargin at £4. I swatched some of the colours and some of them are great whilst others are disappointing. Some of the colours have very very slight pigmentation so they are barely visible once applied to the skin - bit of a disappointment.
But the colours that do show up well look lovely, and although without a primer I doubt they would last a huge length of time they do look lovely all the same, and theres a lot to be done with this palette - perfect for on a budget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

 This is the contour kit from sleek. I have heard fabulous things about this and really wanted to try it as my bronzer is running low. When I swatched these, they looked lovely on my skin tone. As I am quite pale I don't want anything too dark which will come up orange or look ridiculous - but this is perfect! The highlighter also has a nice finish and shimmer which adds a brightness. This set was £6.49 which I feel is a massive bargin with the quality of sleek products. This is definitely a favourite of mine!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As For the nail polishes - I am a massive Barry M fan. They have a fantastic range of colours and at a very low price. I love them. After buying the colours Guava and Mango last week I couldn't resist buying 2 more. I cannot rave about these enough. The colour range for the gelly hi shine is a bit limited being a few dark shades and then a lot of bright or pastel colours but the shades they have chosen are wonderful spring/summer colours which I know will be on my nails all the time.
In superdrug at the moment, the limited edition colour was free if you spent over £6 on Barry M products. The limited edition options were the bright green I picked up or a bright pink. These looked great together and both colours are very wearable. I might even be in there again next week to pick up the other colour!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I forgot to include in the photo but I also picked up a Revlon lip butter in Sweet tart. I thought it was a bit risky as It looked like a very bright pink and not at all what I'm used to but on the lips it looked a lot nicer and very wearable. I also love the formulation - It almost feels like I'm wearing a balm. I suggest these to anyone who wants a new lip colour. They are amazing.

Thats all for this time guys, but be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel for more beauty related chatter! Thanks! :)
