Spring/Summer Makeup Shopping

So I may have gotten a little excited when I got paid.... I have been dying to get some new makeup and with lack of money rolling in - you can be well assured that when I got a decent amount, I may have went a little overboard. But ah well, it's done now :)

I picked up quite a few things from Superdrug as they were having a 3 for 2 on all of their makeup - and offers just ruin my bank account. But I picked up 3 of the single eyeshadows from Revlon, a Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipstick from Bourjois, Makeup Revolution Setting spray and blush, a Barry M contour kit and two lottie london make up brushes

I then picked up two of the Tanya Burr lip glosses from Gordon's Chemist 

And finally, I got the most amazing, perfect, clean Spring/Summer bag ever! I got this from Newlook and it is amazing! Its rucksack and it's mine <3

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation and Primer

As I'm sure I have said quite a few times, I adore L'Oreal and it's fast becoming my favourite drugstore brand and without doubt, I absolutely love this combo! This foundation and Primer is gorgeous and if you were to wear them on their own, they look great as well. 

I bought them together when there was a 3 for 2 which I also done a blog post on which you can find here. The foundation retails for £10.99 and primer is £9.99 which is a tad bit more expensive than other brands like Rimmel and Maybelline.

The primer is gorgeous, it has almost a silver appearances and when it's applied to the skin it gives it such a healthy and radiant appearance - without looking oily or greasy.

The foundation is also very radiant without looking oily, it just makes your skin look so healthy and beautiful and as if it's glowing from within. It has I'd say a medium to definitely a builable full coverage as it does a very good job at covering the redness on my cheeks. 

         Here is a picture of the primer and foundation together - as you can see my skin looks flawless and radiant and I'm absolutely in love! You all need to try this combo :)

Rimmel - Rita Ora Spring Collection

As you can see I only have five from the collection and I absoloutely love them! The colours I have are, Rain Rain Go Away which is a really muted pastel grey shade, Peachella which is a lovely peach shade, Daisy Days is a really lovely lemon shade - I know it doesnt look it in the photo but thats just the instagram filter, Sweet Retreat which is a lovely pastel baby pink and Wild-er-Ness which is a gorgeous lilac shade.

The colours are all pastel/spring shades which are gorgeous, the pigment is also lovely and the colour comes out really well and opaque on the nails.

The one thing I don't like is the brush, it is almost tapered as some of the bristles are short on the outside and longer in the middle so it makes the initial application a little streaky, so you do need to apply 2/3 coats - but other than that, I love these and you should really check them out! 

Max Factor CC Colour Corrector

I bought this along with the Max Factor Liquid Illusion Foundation which I have done a review on which you can find here

This product retails for £8.99 - which I think is pretty reasonable considering how well of a job it does. I picked up the Under eye corrector because I do find it quite difficult to find a concealer which conceals them, and I know they may not look that bad in the picture, but they are a bit darker in real life. It has a slight yellow tone which helps to counteract the blue hue in my under eye circles really well.

 So the main reason I got this, was to layer it, they way I wear it is, I apply it after my primer and before my foundation and then once my foundation is applied I use my Maybelline age rewind concealer. I find that layering it like this really helps to add the coverage I need without it being cakey. It is incredibly easy to blend out and it doesn't make my under eye feel dry like I've experienced with other "crayon" type concealers. It is also really brightening which I love and it helps to highlight the area.

You can see that my under eye circles have been concealed and they are a lot brighter and awake looking

 I do really love this concealer and I use it everyday - when I wear make-up and even without make-up, so I will definitely be trying a few more of these.
