Sleek Matte Me Lip-Cream - Petal

This product *composes myself* is a holy grail product. I am very very excited over this product! This is the Sleek Matte Me Lip-Cream in Petal (£4.99), as Valentines day is coming up and all i thought this would be a great lip product to wear. As it is a light pale pink, very romantic!

I was putting this on my lips, as you do, and completely feel head over heels in love with this product.
Also the packaging is very nice as well .... very sleek (Oh god i am turning into my mother).
 Ok, so you need to apply a minimal amount of this product otherwise it builds up too much and doesn't have the amazing-ness. It is applied with a soft doe foot applicator, which is pretty bog standard.
 It stays on for absolutely ages, if it does dry out my lips i just pop some lip balm over it and it works a trick. I am most certainly going to get a lot of use out of this.
Have you ever tried this?

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!

Strawberry Body Shop Obsession!

For me Body Shop has never been a shop i must go into on a shopping trip, it is mainly boots i want to have a browse in. Anyway one of my friends dragged me into The Body Shop and i fell in love with the Strawberry scent. This is a bit different from my usual posts..but i love the smell and the products so much i had to blog about it!
 ~The Body Shop Link~
 These are the most amazing smelling products i have smelt for ages, if you don't like fruity scents then this is not for you!
The first product is the Strawberry body mist it retails at £7.50 and it is lovely. It is a body mist so it wont last all day but it will leave a slight scent.
 The second is the Body Butter and the full size retails at £13.00, so it is quite pricey. I have been using this on my knee's and elbows and it has improved my dry skin there. The consistency is like yogurt, which i am fine with as it doesn't feel too thick but not too watery!
Anyway this is the end of my 'random' post so i hope you enjoyed it!
Is there anything from Body Shop that you love?

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!
