maybelline superstay 24hour foundation - ivory ♥

hello loves,

I'm becoming a foundation fanatic, I've brought and tried quite a few recently that i believe there's been one nearly every month? 

i brought this one as part of my 3 for 2 from boots one time when i was on a maybelline foundation kick (if there's 2 foundations from the same brand i will pick up a 3rd from the same brand anyone else do that? i also get most my foundations in the 3 for 2 because I'm a bargain hunter!) this is a foundation I've tried and tried and tried but just cant love, i like it but i don't love it, all my beauty girls will understand when its just a "mehhh" product. Its got a pump which i like & its a glass bottle which again i love, you cant take the pump of though which i find wastes alot of product which gets stuck to the sides and bottom of the bottle which i would normally just tap out onto the back of my hand. 

it looks so so orange on my hand which is very strange since it was a perfect match when blended out properly, on my face it looks fine when its all done and dusted since I'm pretty good at picking out my shade now just by looking at the bottle since I'm always pale, i don't fake tan and i don't tan normally since my skin just doesn't do it for me which i deal with. it doesn't last 24 hours on me but that might mean I'm in the environment since I'm always in a hot environment and rushing here and there doing this and that basically always using heat either on me, on clients and well everyone but i only have to touch up once on a full day in the salon so not that bad, its more drying than i would like so i do use this with a beauty blender to add more of that hydration and my primer is a glowy one when i use this.

Like i said i just don't love it, i can and will use it because its not all that bad but its not something i reach for i actually force myself to use it. 

maybelline color vivids lipstick - fuchsia flash ♥

now im sure we all know by now this isnt a run of the mill review, its a lipstick review meaning its close to my heart! specially since its bright. you all know how i love my bright lips. since i am ever so pale (practically translucent!) i just think they suit me alot better than nude lips. 

these lipsticks are so creamy without the glitter! thankfully. they do leave a glossy finish which is not such a bad thing since it means i can scrap the gloss. we all know how i feel about some glosses! the best thing about this lipstick is that it slowly fades and leaves a lovely stain which makes it hard to notice that its faded. 

i do believe i will be picking a few more up as and when they appear in more shades! the formula is amazing and has got to be one of my most worn - ohh did i mention that this is a dupe for mac's candy yumyum? at half the price! the shade is practically neon - love!

maybelline color vivid lipstick - vivid rose ♥

as you know by now i love me a good lipstick, i also love me a good pink lipstick - this ticks both of them boxes! its a beautiful pop of colour and will make you stand out in a crowd, well lets face it noone could ever say you was boring with this on your lips can they? 

this was the first shade i picked up from the line and im so glad i did! my sister was telling me i couldnt pull it off but i simply use it with a bit of mascara. and bronzer - no blush! maybe a bit of a highlighter. 

it is soo pigmented you really only need one swipe to get it to its full colour, amazing right? as a lipstick junkie ofcourse i have a few bright pinks but this has to be in my top 10 and for the price which i believe is around 4 pounds you really can't complain..

maybelline color tattoo - bad to the bronze ♥

So today, im reviewing another colour tattoo..  this is bad to the bronze or on and on bronze which is the uk name! the reason i have the us is i got mine of ebay as a set of 3 and they just happened to be the ones i wanted but it wasnt until i went to boots to see if there was a rose gold one and this was called on and on bronze lol,  

the formula of these are amazing! not to dry but not to creamy, i dont like the cream eyeshadows that are really wet - does that make sense? properly not but it just sets so quickly and i dont have to wait to go into powder eyeshadows i can go straight in with the powder shadows im using, blends like a dream - have you noticed i have a little crush on these! i dont get along with primers all that well so i just use these and there amazing! 

the colour is bronze and makes my blue eyes pop. it does have shimmer in it but unlike the gold one i have it doesnt end up with glitter all over my face, we all know i hate that!  over all i highly recommend this shade, and i cant think of a bad thing to say about it.. 

maybelline color tattoo - bold gold ♥

now i love the color tattoo range from maybelline i think their the perfect thing what we needed for us eyeshadow lovers ( did i say us?) i picked up 3 from ebay sometime last year, and didnt realise that they was the american version (no biggy) just dropping that out there if your looking for this shade it may have a different name! 

i loved this when i first got it, but then i noticed the glitter (see swatch) which is my massive bugbare.. the thing with glitter is it gets everywhere! no matter if its set it always seems to find a way. the formula of these are like a dry cream which of course dries quickly but it looks perfect everytime. this is the one i least reach for because of the glitter.. 

but i will be review the over 2 soon! 

maybelline color vivid lipstick in shocking coral ♥

Helloo my beautifuls,

You may have noticed that i have changed my blogging days.. it is now.  monday, wednesday and fridays! at first i wasn't going to change them, purely because i had friday's reserved for "PR FRIDAYS" but i can do that in a thursday or sunday maybe?  the reason for doing this is i thought that all my blogposts grouped together at the beginning of the week and it didn't look like i blogged as much as i do, so im all for a change :) and if i dont like it i can always decided to go back to the old schedule cant i? 

 

today im back with a lipstick review.. lets face it theres not going to be a time where i dont have one.. i love them and trust me, everyone knows i do! 

this one is from maybelline and at the moment im really into their brand! it being "summer" here in the UK ive been into mixing the coral shades of lipstick i have into my pinks just to add that little bit of sumasuma, so when i spotted this i HAD to have it! since it saves me the time and effort of mixing 2 lipsticks together.. (effort? please i live for this kinda stuff!) i have to admit when i save the word coral i was a bit ughhh, i dont need no more corals in my collection since i dont use them as much as i do pink.. then i swatched it! oh lord i fell deeply inlove.. 

this lipstick is so unique, i find that in different lights it will look so different, in one light it can look pink (a bold pink at that) and others it can look coral (a seemingly wearable coral for me) and then it can look like im wearing 2 maybe even 3 lipsticks combined! its a satin finish, not glittery! (hurray?) and smells amazing, for some reason it reminds me of my nan. 

heres a swatch that is the combined version for me..

i got mine from here for £7.19
