First Impressions:Max Factor Colour adapt foundation

Hello Everyone!

So I thought I would try a bit of a different post today and do a first impressions post talking about the newest foundation I have added to my daily makeup routine which is Max factors ''Colour adapt-Skin tone adapting make up foundation''.

 

As its coming up to the dreaded season that is winter I decided to swap my trusty and reliable BB cream for a foundation to give me more coverage for the cold and wet winter days that are approaching. This is actually only the 2nd foundation that I have owned so I asked the Lady at the max factor counter what foundation she would recommend for someone who wanted light coverage and had oily skin and she recommended this one.

 

After wearing this foundation every day for the last month I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely be re-purchasing this again throughout this season.I'm not completely sure whether the actual colour adapt aspect of this foundation works but I do know that the shade I have (which is Warm Almond) Is the perfect and exact shade for my skin which is so great as no-one likes a foundation that isn't your skin colour.I'm also very pleased with the coverage itself as I use it to give me a low coverage (But it can easily be built up by simply using more foundation) but it gives me a thorough  enough coverage to cover any spots, dark circles and red patches I may have on my face and leaves a natural flawless look when applied which is great as another pet hate of mine is cakey foundation. Also I have very oily skin (But never really gets spots which is kinda weird but hey ho) but when wearing this foundation my skin barely gets oily at all and if it does then it doesn't smudge or run at all,woohoo!.

 

Overall I think this foundation does the perfect job for me and is everything that I look for in a foundation so I would strongly recommend it.

Rimmel London-Apocalips

Hello everyone and welcome to my latest make-up OBSESSION-Rimmel London Apocalips Lip-gloss!.

 

.Literally,until discovering these lip glosses I have completely avoided wearing lip-glosses as I just hate the sticky and oily feel they leave (Especially with my long hair that goes everywhere,there is nothing more annoying then getting lip gloss in it).With my hate for lip-glosses aside I had seen great reviews about these and I really wanted a bold red lip so decided to pick these two shades up as a bet and sure did it become lucky! Luckily for me these glosses dry matte so no horrible sticky/oily feel or texture,woohoo!.Also as these glosses dry matte and are quite distinct and bold shades they last hours and don't smudge which I love as again nothing annoys me more than constantly having to re-apply lip-gloss!.

 

So Its official I have now fallen back in love with Lip glosses thanks to Rimmel Apocalips!.

 

Shade:Big Bang

Shade:Nude Eclipse

Elf Pallette

 

Hello Everyone!

 

So today I thought I would show you my favourite autumn eye shadow palette full of lovely warm and neutral shades perfect for a cold and crisp autumn morning. The actual palette is only like £4.00 from what I remember and for that price the quality of the eye shadows really are outstanding. The eye shadows themselves are lovely and varied shades which are shimmery or matte. After my experience of wearing a few of these shades I would honestly recommend these eye shadows so much as they are so pigmented and the colours last all day.

 

Some more in detail photos of the palette:

Hope you liked seeing my favourite eye shadow palette at the moment!

Mini Poundland Beauty Haul

I bet your thinking ''poundland'' and ''Beauty'' in the same sentence,what?.Don't worry I was just as surprised as you.

So the story starts when I was in poundland the other day looking at the beauty section and discovered that they sell branded products like ''Rimmel'' ''Nivea'' and ''L'Oreal'' products.I'm pretty sure that all of the branded products that they do sell are discontinued lines which means I will only be able to purchase these products as one offs but for £1.00 I am sure not complaining. I honestly cant tell you how excited I was to buy these products at just  £1.00 each like omg.

From Left to Right from the photo

The products I bought:

1) Lipsations shimmer chapstick in Berry
Its a lovely lip moisturiser which has a slight glitter shimmer too it.

2) Rimmel London Apocalips lip lacquer in red
I honestly cant tell you how happy I am that I managed to snap this up for a pound. It is a very bold red lipgloss which actually dries to be of a matte lipstick texture which means it lasts for hours which is great as nothing annoys me more than constantly having to re-apply my lipgloss/stick.

3)Rimmel London Scandal eyes eye shadow paint  in 006 Rich Russet
I am also equally in love with this little find. Liquid eye shadow is my go to eye makeup when I want to make a real effort with my makeup as im just not very good at doing/blending powder eye shadow properly and liquid goes on so easily and lasts all throughout the day/or evening. I choose to buy this eye shadow in the medium brown ''Rich Russet'' shade as it's a great eye shadow to wear for a natural look and looks lovely when blended with a light cream eye shadow in the crease.

4)Nivea Pearly shine Lip balm
I have been loving this lip balm for a real while. Its a lovely light pink shimmery balm which looks great to wear when you want a more natural look on your lips.

Light Summer makeup ''Base''

I love the summer as it generally means a thinner and more simple layer of makeup for me on the hot days (Which there isn't many of in England;).So I thought I would share with you the makeup I wear to give me a flawless base on hot and sweaty summer days.

I start with ''Maybelline: Dream Pure BB cream'' as it is a light BB cream which gives me a light (but even and enough) coverage. I particurly love this BB cream as its aimed for people with oily skin like me so it prevents my skin from being oily during the day (which means my makeup doesn't run down my face on hot days woo).

I then set my BB cream base with ''Natural collection pressed powder''. I love this powder as it sets my base without giving me an obviously powdery face. Also I find that even though I am naturally tanned many other powders give my face an orange tinge which is my pet hate so this powder is the perfect shade for me!.

Lastly I use ''Rimmel:Wake me up concealer''.I have this concealer in a lighter shade than my face in order to use it to highlight and brighten up the dark circles on my face. I really like this concealer as its thick enough to give me a great coverage but is very smooth and silky  when applying so doesn't look thick on the face. This concealer is great to apply under my eyes to brighten them up (as I get very dark circles naturally under my eyes).

I hope you liked this post! What have you been wearing on your face this summer?
