Mini Beauty Haul

Hi everyone!

I've recently been on a small beauty haul, not to anywhere special just to tesco and I've purchased some great products so I decided to review them for you today.

So I purchased lots of makeup. The first product I bought was the Rimmel London Fix & Primer. This was a repurchase because I've used up my first bottle! I love this product so much. It feels like a moisturiser when you rub it into your skin and it makes your makeup last all day, I would definitely say that this is my favourite primer. Its so inexpensive too, its great.

My next item was the Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circles Concealer. This was a product that I have already purchased but lost so I have repurchased it. This is 100% my favourite under-eye concealer, I love the sponge applicator and I would definitely recommend it. 

The next product is the Rimmel London True Match Perfection Foundation in the colour Classic Ivory. I have not yet used this item since purchasing it but I have borrowed someone else's not long ago and really liked it so I decided to buy myself one. I am hoping that this is going to be my favourite foundation because if you've read my previous blog posts, you'll know that I've been waiting to find a foundation I love. With the way it felt when I borrowed it, I'm sure it will.

I also bought another foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in the colour Vanilla. I also borrowed this foundation and paired it with Rimmel London True Match Perfection and loved the way my skin appeared so I just had to purchase this myself. The foundation feels very light on your skin which is the way I like it and gives quite a light-medium coverage. I also loved that it smelt like strawberries. I really enjoyed using this foundation.

The next product is the Bourjois Blush in the colour Rose 15. This is a much darker colour blush which is what I wanted for this winter season, it is also very autumnal so I will use it next year too. I already have a Bourjois Blush and I really like that so I thought it was safe to buy another from this brand.

Th final product I purchased was the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer. I was reading Harrietjacksonx blog post not long ago and she said she liked these lip lacquers so I decided to try them out for myself. I have it in the colour Nova and I really like this product so far.

Overall, my haul was a big success and I can't wait to use these products in the future.

Rimmel London Products

I love trying new drugstore brands so when I first tried out Rimmel London, I was pleased with how much I loved it. I would say it is one of my favourite drugstore makeup brands.

The first Rimmel Product I'll be reviewing is the Fix and Perfect Primer. I purchased this because it was part of a deal whereby I got the Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation and a free mascara included in the price. I love this primer, it feels just like a moisturiser and is really easy to rub in. I also find that at the end of the day, my makeup looks exactly the same as when I put it on. I love this product.

The next Rimmel Product I'm going to review is the Rimmel London Stay Matte Mousse Foundation. I purchased this product in the deal I told you about earlier and I love this foundation. it is one of my favourites. For more information about it, please see my 'Foundations Review' post.

The next product is the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. This is my ultimate favourite loose powder. I think anyone would recommend this product. It is so inexpensive but effective. I will definitely repurchase this.

My next product is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer. I'm sure you'll of heard of this concealer, everyone raves about it but personally, I don't think its worth the hype. Don't get me wrong, its a good concealer but I think you can get better for your money.

My final Rimmel Products are the Kate Moss Lipsticks. I love these lipsticks. They hydrate and moisturise your lips while keeping them looking great. I have two in the colours 110 and 113 which are a bright, vivid coral and a subtle nude. The coral is fantastic, it doesn't smudge and looks great  however I am extremely disappointed with the nude colour. It clings to the chapped bits of your lips and just doesn't look nice at all. I regret buying this product. For colour swatches please check my other blog post 'Kate Moss Lipstick Review'.

Thank you for reading. Please comment below Rimmel Products that you would recommend me trying.

Kate Moss Lipstick Review

Hi everyone,
Today as you can see by the title, I am going to be reviewing the Kate Moss Lipsticks. I only have two shades but I feel that I know what the lipsticks are like now and hope to get more.

 The two colours I have are: 110 and 113. The 110 lipstick is a much more bright, vibrant coral that is suitable for parties and nightlife rather than an everyday use. Personally I love this lipstick, its very pigmented and I love it. However the 113 colour is not as good. I think it clings to all of the chapped bits of your lips and the colour is not as nice as it looks off. On, it looks very washed out and makes you look peaky and makes your lips look really dehydrated and horrible. I regret purchasing this lipstick.

 I really like the packaging of this product, I think its partly why the range is so popular. The red or black against Kate Moss' signature looks really effective and high-end. I also think the colours shown with the number is very close to the colour the lipsticks appear on. However, I wish these lipsticks had names as well as numbers as personally I just prefer it that way.

Overall, I really like this Kate Moss lipstick range by Rimmel London and look forward to purchasong many more.

Thanks for reading!

BabyLips by Maybelline Review

From Left to Right: Dr Rescue (Coral crave), Moisturising balm (Cherry Me), (Pink punch), (Peach Kiss)

Today I'm going to reviewing the BabyLips range by Maybelline. For me, this is a much loved range from a much loved brand, so I thought it would be the perfect thing to review. 

I have purchased 4 of the BabyLips moisturising balms and I love them. I feel that they really do their job by repairing chapped lips and hydrating them throughout the day. "Our exclusive formula moisturizes lips for a full 8 hours. Lips renewed in 1 week." This is the description Maybelline give for their product and I agree. I think that this product does moisturize your lips very well, I'm not so sure about 8 hours though, I like to reapply my BabyLips throughout the day to keep my lips hydrated and to keep the colour fresh. 

The 4 BabyLips lipbalms that I have are from 2 of the 3 ranges. Maybelline has released 3 ranges: the moisturizing balms (In the shades: Cherry me, Pink punch, Peach kiss, Grape vine, Peppermint and Quenched.), the Electro lip balms (In the shades: Pink shock, Fierce n tangy, Berry bomb, Oh! Orange!, Strike a pose and Minty sheer.) and the Dr Rescue lip balms (In the shades: Too cool, Pink me up, Soothing sorbet, Just peachy, Coral crave and Berry soft.)  I have 3 of the moisturizing balms and 1 of the Dr Rescues, unfortunately I have not yet purchased one of the Electro balms but it is on my christmas list! I have the colours Cherry Me, Pink punch and Peach kiss and I love all of them however, I find that Pink punch clings to the dry patches of your lips and therefore takes a lot of rubbing in and so for that reason it is my least favourite of the 3. I find that it is very unnatural looking and I prefer a subtle look on the lip for day-to-day. The Dr Rescue lip balm that I have is in the colour Coral crave and i love the colour, it is very sheer and subtle. I find that as this lipbalm is menthol to protect and soothe pain caused from ulcers, coldsores and general pain around the mouth, it has minty, fresh scent.

Overall I would highly recommend the BabyLips range from Maybelline and look forward to purchasing more.
