Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This little product was from a recent Boots browse, you honestly must think i shop no where else... however i have ordered a couple things from Superdrug this week. Anyway i originally ordered the No7 Matte foundation but this came in the post, so i thought i would try it anyway.

I was pleasantly surprised, as with most (basically all) of the products i have reviewed on this blog has been mentioned by some other bloggers, where-as this has been mentioned by everyone. Even my friends, which is some sort of revelation as they never want to talk about make-up.

This is the Revlon Colour- Stay foundation in shade Buff 150, it is usually £12.49 from Boots. There are two versions of this, i have got the oilier skin type version. 

To start with the packaging is OK, however i hate how there is no pump! I end up pouring out too much on to my hand (as i am awful with measurements) and wasting it!

The foundation itself is lovely, it is very smooth and looks flawless on the face. I have found the best way to apply it is with a brush (Real Techniques expert face brush).

Throughout the day it seems to wear very well, however if you do have one or two spots i recommend wearing a concealer as-well because they will start to show nearing the end of the day.

I do wear concealer under my eye as it will not cover those, however my under eye circles are very dark so i would not hold it against this foundation.

The oil control is better than most foundations, though i did need to apply powder to my face.

Overall this is a lovely foundation, it didn't break me out and makes me look lovely in pictures! What more can i ask for? 

This is a definite recommendation from me!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick- Nude Delight

I have had this lipstick for ages and i have had a love hate relationship with it.

Some days i just don't think it suits me and then other i love it, for the moment I love it!

This retails £6.49 and i believe it is worth it.

The packaging is simple sleek and good, not beautiful but not awful.

 It is a lovely moisturising lipstick that glides on to your lips smoothly and gives your lips a nice shine. It last 4-5 hours with no messing, so it is a pretty long wear time, you could make it even longer if you add a lip liner with it!

 It looks quite pinky on my lips- where as it is have more of an orange tone to it (like the swatch above)

Overall i would highly reccomend this Lipstick and another other shade in this line!

Revlon Lip Butter- 096 Macaroon

I have been hiding this is my 'beauty drawer' all summer, but when September arrived (finally) this is the lipstick i was most looking forward to wearing. This is my absolutely favourite Autumn/Winter Lipstick.

I have to say the packaging of all the Revlon Lip Butters are not impressive for a £7.99 Lipstick, but they are 'alright'.

 This lipstick is a deep pink/red and is brilliant with a fair skin tone as a bold red can sometimes pale you out.
I love the texture of this as it is so smooth and moisturising, i love that is does not dry out my lips. Though i have heard that it is hit and miss depending on which colour you get.
It has a gentle shimmer, nothing too bold. The wear would be around 3-4 hours, which is fine for me as i love re-applying lipstick anyway.

It gives a wonderfully glossy finish, so no need to wear lip gloss, unless you want to. 

I just love it!

What is your perfect winter lipstick?

Kate Middleton's outfits!

Doesn't everyone absolutely adore Kate Middleton?
I definitely do! I especially love her outfits. So as the Royal Baby is on its way i thought i would look back and pick out some of my favourite outfits of Kate Middleton's.

This has to be one of my top favourite outfits, when she wore this beautiful dress from Topshop, it was a symbol that she did not have to spend thousands of pounds to look good.
Due to just looking at it, she has made slight alterations to fit her perfectly but it is the meaning that is the main thing.

'The Perfect Coat', i am sure many of has dream of buying the perfect coat.... well i certainly have?! I love this coat because it is simple, it would go with any outfit. It is a classic coat!

This is one of Kate's 'pregnancy dresses', i mean it is so pretty i would wear it and i am not pregnant! How she has paired the white&Black polka dot dress with a smart black blazer makes it a very formal look. Of course it comes together with the plain black clutch and the classic and simple shoes.

All of her evening outfits are amazing and to die for!So these 4 are my favourite. They are all Elegant and simple dresses, not too fancy!

I had to add this on, i mean this is probably her most famous dress  of all time, and it's BEAUTIFUL!

So those are my favourite outfit's of Kate for you, hope you enjoyed it!

Clear Skin #2: Pro Active Cleanse Bar

Welcome back to my journey to Clear Skin day 2!
Today i have a soap bar?! Yes, a soap bar.
It is the Pro Active Cleansing Exfoliating bar- £14.99

As you can see it is for Acne prone skin, however my skin is not prone to acne it can get rather spotty! When you have lathered it up small bits appear which gives it the 'cleansing feel'. Although it has bits in it, it does not feel harsh on your face. Which is a great point about this.
It is on the expensive side of face products but believe me it works, i had reduced redness in my face and did not look like a tomato.
Overall if you are prone to lots of spots anywhere on your body and face i recommend using this everyday. It will reduce your acne/spots if you pair it with a good spot cream (hint what is coming next)

Follow my blog for day 3 of my Clear Skin series!

May Favourites!

I know i am a tad late on doing this but i have some amazing products that i have loved this month so i really wanted to share them with you! (Also i have a cheeky book in my favourites assortment aswell)

1. Hoola Bronzer - £23.00
As some of you may know, who live in England, there has been spurts of sun throughout the month of May. Unfortunately i was not lucky enough to get that sunkissed look on my face, but this bronzer definitely made it look like i did. I just gently brushed this over my cheekbones and forhead giving me that beautiful sunkissed look. Obviously you can build it up, but whenever i attempted to build it, it looked like someone had smeared mud on my face?!

2. Clinique Chubby Stick - Mega melon - £16
I have nearly used this up as i have been wearing it everyday this month! I love it, it's moisturising with long lasting colour. I am very fussy what i put on my lips, it has to be moisturising or i don't like it, so this was wonderfully moisturising. Definitely going to repurchase this product.

3.Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks - Pale Pink - £18.00
Again, great shade for summer/spring as it adds light colour to your lips and cheeks! I love to pair this with my Rimmel nude lipstick, it just makes my lips look naturally pink and pretty. On my cheeks i only apply a little on the apples of my cheeks to give me a healthy glow.

4. Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. £8.99
I have done a review on this, so don't need to go into too much detail why i love it! Just it is amazing in sunlight, a light foundation. Also its gives a sparkly effect making you glow in the light!

5. Chocolate Wishes - Trina Ashley £6.99
My last item is a book this is such a fun easy read! Perfect for the holidays in the sun, where you do nothing but lie on a deck chair all day! Sadly this holiday i have been revising for exams, but when i wasn't this took my mind off everything, just great fun! If you love girly romantic/comedy type books, pop into tesco or local bookshop and purchase this!
