Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

Apologies for the complete lack of posts on my behalf, i have big exams coming up so my motivation for blogging has been the size of an ant! Exams are the worst.

Anyway lets move on to this foundation! This is the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and retails for £8.99. It is a medium coverage foundation with a slightly pink undertone. You can tell you have foundation on which i thought was slightly disappointing, as it is 'nearly naked'.
Throughout the day it seems to wear well, however if you have oily skin like myself you will most definitely need to powder, at least a couple times.
Overall i think the Revlon Colourstay foundation is at the moment staying my firm favourite!
Have you tried this foundation? 

Vivo Beauty Balm

This product for me is a 'not much make up' day. It is from Vivo~link~ and retails for £5, Vivo is also available at Tesco now.

First of all is that i like the packaging, its plain and simple-nothing too fancy, which i am a fan of.

The whole idea of this product is that it gives you a light coverage, while evening your skin out.

I wear this on a weekend when i am taking a walk or something when i cant be bothered, as it is nice. 

I think it does make my skin a little less red, and gives me a light glow.

 Though if you have oily skin- like myself- prepare to get your powder out, as it gives a dewy finish but it areas where i am oily it doesn't cover it. It leaves a slightly sticky feeling, but don't worry as it is sorted out with powder.
I would have to add some concealer to under my eyes and blemishes as it is not a super strength concealer.

 I would say is you have dry skin, this is perfect for you or if you don't have blemishes but your skin is a bit red!

Overall i like this product for light coverage but wouldn't use it everyday, as it is not enough for me!

Vivo Haul!

So its September, one of my favourite months, it means going back to school/work (not so good) and the leaves fall off the trees. So i thought why not start September on a happy note- a Vivo Haul!
I am very excited to try all these products (expect a whole bunch of Vivo reviews).
All this (excluding the 1 item not from Vivo) cost me £11 in the 50% off sale, so it usually is £22.

This Trio eye-shadow palette is called Bronze Me Up, and it has a beautiful highlighter shade for your browbone, i can tell i am going to get tons of use out of this one. From what i can tell the pigment is 'ok'.

Is it retailed for £2.50.

Swatches of the colours in order are shown below.

Next i bought was a primer, can't say anything about this yet as i have not tried it.Though it is said mattifying. It is £6.00 usually.

I also this Beauty Balm in warm ivory, as my skin has been good lately so i wanted something lightweight. It is usually £5

Also i bought this Under Eye Roll on concealer, again haven't tried it yet. (£3.59)

Another item was the Gel Liner which was £3.49.

Finally from Vivo i bought this Lip Gloss which isin shade 6- Heavenly. It is quite a Deep Berry colour perfect for winter!

From Boot i ordered a Real Techinque's Expert Face brush on a whim!

I had to buy it though as its by Samantha Chapman, i mean c'mon? :)

Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer

Before i get into the whole review thing, i just want to say i am on holiday right now in Portugal and this week i am doing a sailing course so there will not be as many posts this week only! After this week i will return to normal posts!

Ok so ,As you may (or may not) have noticed i have reviewed another concealer quite recently (collection lasting perfection concealer), but i have also been testing this Rimmel Hide the blemish Concealer.

This concealer is priced at £4.49 from Boots, the cheapest you can get it is £1.99!

This concealer is very creamy, and when i say creamy believe me it is creamy!
I tested this under my eyes and i did not feel like it set properly. Even after a couple of hours it still did not feel completely dry! It creased under my eyes as well (this was without primer for a fair test), which is not a very good look
Also it did wear throughout the day so it not full day coverage, i would recommend reapplying this at least 2 times a day.

It applies like a lipstick, which means you have to build the coverage up quite alot.

Overall this is an 'ok' concealer, i personally would not recommend this!

Liz Earle Sheer Tint

Today i am going to review the Liz Earle sheer tinted moisturiser!

In the summer or whenever its hot i feel like foundation is way too heavy for my skin and i want something lighter. So i opt for a tinted moisturiser with a fair amount of coverage, some lucky ladies don't have to wear anything because they have perfect skin, where as i have small spots here and there.

I have found this tinted moisturiser to be very good on my skin, it doesn't make me feel to oily as it dries and sinks in very easily! It has not caused any breakouts and really given me the summer glow which we all want (with a bit of bronzer).

Also i wanted some sun protection as well, this has SPF15 as do most, but depending how hot it is i will either reapply this or regular sunscreen.

The packaging feels expensive, as it is in one of those 40ml bottles which makes you use a minuscule amount, which is good as a little goes a long way!

The only real let down is the price- £21, if you live in England some sun is an occasion to be remembered as it doesn't stay for long. If you only use this in the summer, like myself you will really need to only buy this once a year, but if you wear this as your 'base' all year round it would be alot of money.

So i am going to give this 4* out of 5, as the let down is the price!
