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?

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

This has to be one of my all time favourite concealers and it has been raved about a lot in the beauty world!
You can purchase this from Boots here for £4.19.

This Concealer is liquid which i prefer for under my eyes, as it is not as dehydrating (i think so anyway :/).
Another point is that it does not make my blemishes/spots worse the day after i take it off.

When i have dark under eye circles (which are often) it really does conceal them and does not wear off, so makes me look like i have slept for 12 hours for 12 hours
!
Though I have found when i apply it under my eyes, after a long day it does tend to crease! You can apply a primer and this problem will go away.

It applies with a soft tip brush type thing, it is easy to apply (great for people in a rush).


Tip: After you have applied it DON'T rub as this smears it to other parts of your face, not the part you actually want to conceal. The best way which i have found is to dab lightly and it works a treat!

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation!

I have to say before i bought this, i had heard so much about it. "Its fabulous, makes you look amazing etc". So i went into Superdrug the other day on the hunt for a new foundation, when i remembered the Wake Me Up foundation. Don't get me wrong i love Rimmel, it is one of my favourite Make Up brands, however i was very disapointed with their 25 hour foundation as i found it had an orangy base. I mean no one wants to look like a tangerine?! So i was a bit hesitant to pay £8.99 for their Wake Me Up but i am very glad i did!
It makes you look dewy, but not oily, as i do have oily skin and didn't want a foundation that would make it worse but it didn't. If you are extremely worried about this put a bit of powder on your oily bits. It has a slight shimmer which looks amazing in sunlight as it literally makes you glow. Finally, It has great coverage, i would say it has a medium coverage. So it doesn't give you complete full coverage but nothing a good concealer can't fix. If you want to get that shimmery glow but lighter coverage i reccomend pairing it with a moisturiser, which also looks lovely.
So overall i have to say this foundation is perfect for summer!
