Estee Lauder double wear fondation review ...

 

The best full coverage foundation !

 

I have become obsessed with this foundation I love full converge foundation's because my skin is quite red in places I also where fake tan but not on my face and the shade I use ( 4N1 shell beige) is the perfect shade to match it.

 

When I went to use it for the first time I thought that all my powders on top where just going to make my face look all muddy coz I have such a heavy foundation on but it didn't It on went on beautifully. The foundation its self is not a thick liquid but you can defiantly build it up you could mix it with a bit of moisturiser if its too thick but I love it!

 

.

I use the real techniques expert face brush to apply this foundation as I feel I can really spread it over my face well and press the foundation into my skin I also love this brush for applying concealer under my eyes amazing brush !

It gives a matte finish on my self what I like so my highlight stands out more. I have combination  skin and it works well for me It doesn't cling on to my dry patches what I always look for!

This is quite a pricy foundation but worth every penny! There is a massive range off shade selection I would say its quite similar to the urban decay all nighter foundation ( http://alwaysbeautyforever.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/urban-decay-all-nighter-foundation.html )

Go and try it!

I have recently got into lip plumping products I love the look of full lips but I am way to scared to get lip fillers! So I have been trying out new products lately to see if any actually work.

This is the boots time delay lip plumper (lip gloss) I purchased this for £8.49 one of the cheaper products on the market. So it comes basically in a lip gloss formular looks gold in the packaging but on lips is completely clear. Once you apply the gloss with in about 2 minutes you get the tingling feeling on your lips witch should mean the lips are plumping. The tingling feeling normally goes on for around 10 minutes. I did a before and after , the after Is about 15 minutes after applying the gloss.

For me I cant see a massive difference I think it is mainly the look of the glossy lips that makes them look bigger and you can get that from any lip gloss I can see that slightly my top lip looks more fuller but I cant say I love this product and I am going to carry on trying more out.

Let me know if you have tried any really good lip plumping products...

Mac face wipes !!

 16 pound face wipes???

So the other day I was in mac and was swatching a load of lipsticks and there was lipstick all up my arms (every girl will understand). One of the girls in there saw  and gave me some makeup wipes I took them off and then after I left my hand was so soft I was like what ?? Must have been them mac wipes so I had to get a pack and give them a go.

So I paid 16 pound for a pack of face wipes (45) instead of my normal 3 pound simples ones! I just got them to try because I never really here much about them so thought I would test and review them.

There is 45 wipes in a pack witch is quite a lot for a pack of makeup wipes most of them normally have around 25 in.

They are defiantly the softest makeup wipes I have ever tried it feels like its left a moisturiser/serum left on your skin, and it takes off you makeup so easy.

They are amazing makeup wipes but I don't think I would buy them again purely for the fact they are so expensive but maybe if I was treating my self, Haha.

Too faced cat eyes eyeshadow palette

So this is the newest eye shadow palette I have brought to try out the too faced cat eyes.
I have never tried a too faced eye shadow palette before and I knew they all looked stunning and had amazing shades and such amazing packaging I love a palette that has really nice well thought out packaging to go with it.


So the idea of this palette is that you can get 3 looks out of this palette and the 3 at the end you can use wet and dry and use it wet to use a liner. They have put some really nice colours together but for me I will be mixing and matching with all the shades.

I have tried using them wet also I used the black shade (panther) the other day to create a more Smokey eye line and it actually worked really well. These eyeshades are very creamy you do get a bit of fall out when using the first 3 pale shades but the others not so much. I was quite disappointed with the shade kitty glitter I thought it would come out a lot more silver but it was just a bit of glitter quite disappointing. I do love this palette though and I will defiantly be looking at getting more too faced palettes.

Urban decay all nighter foundation

YAY! They have finally made it! I love urban decay as a brand and one of my favourite products is there all nighter setting spray its amazing for yours that have not tried it. I also love there naked foundation but I wanted something with more coverage so this is a very clever idea for a product!

I just got my foundation about 2 weeks ago so I have fully tested it all out, I am in the shade 7.0 I was 6.0 in the naked skin but she matched me to a shade darker and said I have done with most people. the .5 shades are for pink toned skin and the .0 are for more yellow toned skin of if you have fake tan I would go for a .0 shade matches a tan better.

I have been applying mine with the foundation brush I talked about in my ebay finds post. Its amazing and so cheap! Works really well with the foundation.  The finish of this foundation is quite matte, I even put mac storbing cream on underneath and It still was just as matte. It is defiantly FULL coverage but I love that look , everything applies on top of it beautifully. It does dry quite quickly so you have to work quite quick with it.

You can buy this product in uk in Debenhams for £27 pound quite pricey but worth it or pop it on your Christmas list!

Rimmel lasting perfection foundation & concealer

Best drugstore foundation ! The rimmel lasting perfection foundation is an amazing full converge foundation that is only £7.99! ( In savers a uk discounted beauty shop they usually have it on offer for £5!!) The concealer  that goes with it only £5.49 also full coverage.


I have been using this foundation for around 3 years now, It gives you a good coverage but dewy looking skin still I love using it with a beauty blender, I use the shade 303. The only thing I don't like about this foundation is they don't have any dark yellow toned foundation so it Is hard to match my fake tan with it sometimes hopefully they will bring out more shades soon!

This foundation is so similar to mac studio fix in my opinion and is obviously much cheaper and easy to get hold of ! It says it has a comfort serum in it and it defiantly feels like that it doesn't feel like you have a full converge foundation on at all!

The concealer is so good for getting rid of veins on they eyes I always use it to prime my eye lids before putting eye shadow on its so good and because it is in a pot its good for using with a brush to outline my brows! Again the same as the foundation no yellow tones !

                                                              GO BUY AND TRY :)

 

Diffrence beetween NC and NW at mac

So I thought I would make a quick post to let you know the difference with macs NC and NW foundations if you are no aware...

So mac shades always start with either NC or NW. NC is yellow toned foundation's typically more tanned people are normally more yellow toned or if you wear fake tan yellow toned foundation's normally match the tan better. There for NW is for more pink toned skin and a lot of pale people tend to be pink toned.

Also with urban decay there .5 shades are for pink toned foundation's and there .0 shades are yellow toned shades.

Botanics hydrating night cream

The WORST night cream I have ever used!

I recently brought this product the other week when I wanted to look for a new night cream and I got the micellar cleansing water by them and I love It so I had high hopes for the cream...

So after I took all my makeup off and was going to head to bed I put the cream on and at first it felt so night and definally hydrating and then I would say with in 10 minitues my face felt stiff and dry and I had to get out of bed to take it off and apply a different moisturiser because my skin felt so stiff! This is defiantly not a hydrating product and was not nice as a night cream either. 

I still love the Nivea cream its about 3 pound for a massive tub cheap and amazing try it out !
