You know when you just find that one thing that is so affordable and amazing that you think 'why didn't I try this out sooner and how the hell don't more people know about this?' That's exactly what I thought when I was watching one of Casey Holmes' videos where she tried out some Lottie London makeup. One of the things she tried out in that video was this Lottie London Shimmer Squad highlighting palette and it looked absolutely amazing on her so I thought I would try it out for myself. I went online to the Superdrug website because I knew that my store didn't sell that much Lottie London makeup and I didn't want to take a trip into town to not be able to find it, also, ordering online was soo much easier lol! The colours looked gorgeous and I could not wait for my package to come in the mail, so let's get on into the review.
L’Oreal claims : ” It’s
time to say bye-bye to boring lashes and hello to new Miss Baby Roll
Mascara, for mega volume, curl and all-day hold. Our Mega Curl Roller
Brush curls lashes from the root, for an instant lash lift! The Quick
Mega Volume formula volumises lashes and holds them in a curl all day. ”
2016 and 2017 have definitely been the years of the highlighters! I know that is what the main focus has been on my blog lately, but can you really blame me? I never used to like highlighters at all until I discovered ones that were perfect for my skin tone and I am now obsessed!! All of the highlighters I have reviewed on here have been the perfect finds. Just take a look at this Makeup Revolution Skin Kiss Highlighter!
Are you searching for an all-in-one eyeshadow palette that can cover day time looks, night time looks and that has warm and cool toned shades? Then look no further. Makeup Revolution introduced their sister company/brand a little while back called Freedom Professional London. I was in my local Superdrug a little while ago when I seen a smaller stand than usual that had Freedom Makeup on it and I was instantly intrigued but also wondered why the stand was so small and also standing on its own. I went home and had a browse online to see if I could find a website and I came across TAM Beauty which is an online website that sells Makeup Revolution & Freedom makeup, this is where I discovered that they were sister brands. I absolutely love Makeup Revolution's eyeshadow palettes and have reviewed a few here on my blog, so I thought that their sister brand's eyeshadow palettes might have similar or even better quality so I picked up this one that caught my eye. This is the Freedom Today's Tonight Eyeshadow Palette and let's jump right into the review.
So what do we have here? Yep, another foundation to add to my ever growing collection. I have recently become a foundation fanatic, some people could say it has become a little bit of a problem - every time I step into Boots or Superdrug I have to have a look at the foundations, it doesn't matter what brand it is by, if it looks and sounds like it will work for me then I have to grab it, well as long as I haven't tried it before that is. I am always on the look out for perfect every day foundations as I sometimes get stuck in a rut and end up using the same foundation over and over again and I then get bored of it haha! I was browsing the E.L.F site the other week and I had heard some good reviews on this foundation so I thought I would pick one up and give it a chance. Oh and by the way, trying to pick your shade online is not the best idea and ended up being pretty hard for me, however, luckily I didn't do too bad! So, lets get straight into the review.
Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I wanted to share with you a favourite blush of mine which happens to be ridiculously cheap and one of my favourite bargain beauty finds. This is of course the brand Natural Collection, now you might be a little unexperienced with Natural Collection so let me just go ahead and tell you that they are a bargain brand that you can only purchase at your local Boots store. The brand has been round since I was little and I remember my nana getting me some of this makeup when I was younger so I would stop stealing hers and I absolutely loved it. It is now still one of my favourite brands for things like lipsticks, bronzers and blushes. All of their products are at least under £5 so you are guarenteed to find a products that it is of fantastic value. So, lets jump right into this review of the Blushed Cheeks Blush.
For those of you that might love the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks or just a multifunctional product, then this post is for you! This little gem is from the drugstore that I recently discovered. It is the Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze.
L'Oreal claims that this primer instantly transforms skin texture that results in a matte finish and velvet-soft touch. It is supposed to mattify the skin, prepare and smooth the skin by minimising imperfections, pores and shine and instantly transform the skins texture for an even surface with velvet-soft touch. They also claim that foundations will glide seamlessly across it. So, lets see if all of these claims are true and get straight into the review.
If you are into makeup at all then you have probably heard of the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. Everyone and their mother loves this, and so they should, this is an amazing concealer and it is so affordable too! I have given this concealer a good try, I have been using it for such a long time but I didn't think about reviewing it untill recently. I was looking at reviews for this concealer and didn't see as many online so I thought that I would review mine. Just for reference, I have sensitive skin that isn't particularly too dry or too oily but my under eye tends to be a little on the dry side. I am also really pale, which I think is well know by now haha! So, if you want to know my thoughts on this raved about and very popular concealer then just keep on reading.
I was a little undecided about doing a post on these as they are limited edition and I don't really like talking about products that are limited edition as I feel so bad when people can't get hold of them but I have seen that you can get the liquid lipsticks online on their own in different shades. So hopefully you will still be able to get hold of them. Although these lip kits and particular shades are limited edition ones that Barry M have launched not too long ago and these are the Matte Me Up lip paints and lip liner. I was only able to get one of the shades and that was the shade Runway but I am going to review just the one anyeay, as I am really loving this and wanted to rave about them. Keep reading to find out what I think about this potential Kylie Lip Kit dupe.
If you are a frequent reader of my blog then you will know that I feature and review a lot of Makeup Revolution products and I decided that I would try and get a better balance of brands. However, I found this amazing little palette in Superdrug a few weeks ago and I had to try it out. I also seen Tati from GlamLifeGuru mention this on her YouTube channel and she loves it too. Makeup Revolution say “Introducing our stunning blush and highlight palette, Blush
Goddess! 4 beautiful highlighter shades, ranging in intensity from
natural sheen to intense illumination. 4 blushes from pink to peach, a
great all in one palette for every day blush and highlight. Highly
pigmented, smooth and blendable shades. Sweep highlight shades along
cheekbones and an upward stroke of blush shades starting from the apples
of the cheeks.” So let's jump on into the review and hear what I think about this gorgeous palette.
The Body Shop has joined the Liquid Lipstick hype by releasing their new Matte Lip Liquids. These are "specially formulated to glide on effortlessly like a gloss and set with a rich creamy colour and velvet touch of matte lipstick. It is long-lasting, lightweight and lusciously soft. And is creulty-free and vegetarian with no gluten and no carmine." So let's get straight on into the review and see what my thoughts are on these lipsticks now that I have been trying them out for a little while.
L'Oreal have recently launched some of their new products for 2017, thus including the highly anticipated Infallible Total Cover Foundation. This foundation is advertised to provide a full coverage, natural finish with air-light texture, whilst also lasting up to 24 hours. I won't be testing out the whole 24 hour claim, I mean, who really wants to have their makeup on for that long? L'Oreal claim that you "Get up to 24 hours of full coverage with a lightweight feel and a natural finish. Infallible Total Cover Foundation blends instantly to cover dark spots, blemishes, scars, and hyperpigmentation for a flawless complexion. The foundation is formulated with highload pigments for full coverage and is enriched with Alliagel. The formula glides on and feels fresh all day. It will create the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application." I could not wait to get my hands on this and try it out, so lets get straight into the review.

I love trying new primers, I am constantly on the lookout for that perfect primer that will make my makeup last all day long and keep it sitting nicely on my skin, especially any dry patches. I have used a lot of primers over the years, and I have some that I like such as the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot Primer. The NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a product that I have seen a lot of buzz about, so when I was in Boots and seen this I swiftly grabbed one. This primer was £12, which I found to be a little pricey for NYX but still a lot more affordable compared to Smashbox, so it is still a budget primer. The NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a lightweight and oil-free primer that smoothes the skin and mattifies it. It also extends the wear of a foundation. This primer can be worn alone to give it a smoother look to the skin or used as a primer under a foundation to make it last longer.
Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation looks natural but has a full coverage, wears well and does no cake up on the skin. Could this be the foundation for you?
I used to use this foundation a few years back and it was my holy grail, until I started to discover other brands and their amazing foundations. However, recently everyone seems to have joined the hype and been raving about this foundation, again. So, I thought, why not try it out again and see if the new 'comfort serum' has made a difference to the formula.
Rimmel say that this foundation blends flawlessly, instantly, seamless and easily into the skin. And also that it is sweat, heat, transfer and humidity proof for up to 25 hours. So, lets focus on one little drugstore gem that I recently have fallen back in love with.
I know I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record but high street makeup brands have been stepping up their game recently and bringing out some amazing new products. Now, this one might not particularly be new but it is a new discovery for me. I have always been quite weary of high street foundations and since I tried the Born This Way foundation from Too Faced I was worried that no other foundation might the high standards that foundation brings, however, since I was running low on my Born This Way foundation I thought I would go on a hunt for a drugstore foundation to try out and I discovered the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, so lets jump straight in to what I think about this new discovery.
High coverage, full impact colour and a flawless matte finish in just one stroke... A new matte lipstick range by Rimmel London.
Today we are going to be looking at the new The Only One Matte lipstick range from Rimmel London and I have to say I was so excited when I seen that this range had been brought out. If you know me then you know that I have been loving matte lipsticks recently so I don't need any excuses to try out a new one. They claim that the formula is non-drying and that it is comfortable to wear, very high coverage with just one stroke, glide on effortlessly, have a matte finish that lasts for hours. I have been trying this out for a while now and wanted to share my thoughts with you guys.
