Make Up

1. Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara, I am planning to post about this at some point because I think it's really good, the wand is huge and made from bristles rather than plastic, it's defines lashes and adds volume, it's quite thick so it does clump a bit but I just keep brushing them until they're gone.

2. Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation, now this is a bit controversial because I actually have done a blogpost explaining that I didn't seem to get on with this foundation, but since then I have been giving it a go more often, I have worn it every day this week and I have to say its not as bad as I thought. It definitely does keep me matte and the coverage lasts a long time and if I use the right amount (not too much because its super thick) its pretty easy to blend to a nice finish, the only problem is I find it hard to layer other liquid products with it.

3. Cream Puff by Collection, this is a matte lipgloss if that's not too much of an oxymoron, it's a natural rosy  pink colour and I think it looks so nice for winter, it's lived in my bag a lot.

4. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, just great stuff, great coverage, nice thin consistency but highly pigmented, I've been using it under my eyes and on any redness on my nose and chin, it's moisturising too so it's great for covering spots and blemishes.

5. Dandelion Blush by Benefit, my all time absolute favourite blusher, ever, and sadly my big box has ran out, again, so I am actually using this little quad that I've had for ages (as you can see) but I need to get a new one soon. It's a matte finish but in the pan it has the teeeeeeeeniest of shimmers which are invisible once it's one, its a very light natural pink and it goes with skin tone so well, I love it all year round and it actually smells pretty nice too.

I've also picked up a few make up bits recently, the Stay Matte foundation by Rimmel (£4.99 on offer) which I have already reviewed but it has grown on me ever so slightly, although I still agree that it's very cakey. Then some lip products, now I only bought two of these because my mum actually gave the other two to me to try, the Collection Deluxe Lipstick in 'Talullah' (£3.99) which is a beautiful light salmon pink shade with a slight shimmer, satin finish, the only downfall to this is the smell, I don't particularly mind it, it reminds me of my childhood but yeah, it's kind of like those lipsticks you used to get as a child the ones that were as hard as bricks, other than that is smooth, moisturising, very pigmented I'm really happy with it, the second one she gave me was an MUA Power Pout Colour Intense Tint & Balm in 'Rendezvous' (£3) which I also really like, the packaging is really deceptive though so do not order these online, the tube looks like a nude brown shade but in reality is more a brick red shade, it's pretty sheer but buildable, it has the minty flavour like the rest of the chubby stick dupes, so smooth on the lips and a lovely satin finish, I can't wait to have a bit of change to go get some more. Anyway the two I bought myself were an MUA Lipstick in Shade 7 which is a medium orange toned pink shade, they are very smooth on the lips, long lasting, very pigmented and only £1, and last but definitely not least, the Collection Cream puff in Fairy Cake 3 (£2.99, this is actually a cheat because I recently rediscovered this in one of my make up pots and it has never been used), luckily it still smells alright and I'm so excited, because this pink colour was actually on my January wanted list, so anyway, this is my favourite of the four, its a matte lip cream, like a lip gloss but matte finish basically, the colour is gorgeous, a nice roses pink shade, it's a lovely finish for day time and feels so creamy, I recommend putting some lip balm under to make it last longer but other than that, I love it. I have spoken about the nude shade one in a previous post and that one is my favourite as it gets the most daily use but this ones really nice to mix it up.
