Product Review - Rimmel Provocalips

The main reason I bought this product was because my friend recommended it to me... but I must say, I'm not impressed.

The shade I picked was Skinny Dipping and overall, I think the packaging is lovely and simple and the idea is great, but for me, it didn't do what it said on the tin - the Step 1, which is the colour was grand, it was really pigmented and quite shiny and it wasn't sticky or anything, but when I applied Step 2, the Lock & Shine, it literally took away all of the shine and made the product matte and it also made my lips feel quite sticky. 

I do love the colour from this product and maybe I just got a dodgey one? So i may risk trying a different colour or something, but if I do use Skinny Dipping in future, I won't be using Step 2.

Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll - On

I've been using this product for ages now, and I love it! As it's from Simple, my favourite skin care brand ever, it's perfect for sensitive skin which I have - and I haven't had any problems with it so far.
I use this product everyday in the mornings to help my tired eyes, as it is a gel formula it's really lightweight and feels really nice on the skin. It  also has a metal ball applicator - which helps to cool my eye area so if they're puffy, or just feeling really tired and yuck,  it will bring the puffyness down and help to really soothe and calm the area. 
I've also noticed it helps to reduce the look of fine lines and dark under eye circles if you use it continuously which is also a huge benefit and for only a few pound from any chemist or drugstore, I would definately recommend this :)

Product Review - NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colour

 

Everytime I go to buy one of these products, theyre always on sale, which is why I love Superdrug. They must see me coming! I love these products. I honestly don't have a bad word to say about them, I will say though that their lasting power isn't the best but not the worse, which I don't mind because it doesn't bother me having to reapply, it's no hassel. 

I love the fact that for the price, which is at most, £2.99, but on sale they're only £1.99, they're really good. They smell lovely, kind of like vanilla or something like that, the texture is really smooth and goes on really evenly and the pigmentation is wonderful. 
The three shades I have are: 031 Gramercy Park Plum. 030 Metropolitan Mauve. 010 Nolita Neutral

So for only a few pound each, they're fabulous, I intend to buy a lot more of these, especially coming into winter :)

Product Review - Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

I love the brand Bourjois, I love their foundations, primers, bronzers and lipsticks, but I've never tried any of their concealers and as I've heard good things about the foundation version of this concealer, I thought I'd try it. 

I'm on the fence, there are things I like and things I dislike, nothing too major to be fair but still. 

What I like...

I like the packaging of the product, I love the red, granted there is a lot of writing on the packaging but yet it doesn't look crowded or a mess. 

I like the consistency of it. At first it looks rather thick, but once you start to blend it in it goes on really smooth, it's not cakey at all and it very easy to blend. 

I like the fact that it hid my blemishes well and it didn't take much product to do so. 

What I dislike...

I don't like the smell. I know it has the whole fruit therapy thing going on, but it smelt like artifical fruit so it wasn't very nice at all.

As I said before, it hid my blemishes well, but it didn't hide the redness. The redness still shone through the concealer which I didn't like. It hid my spots, but not the redness... weird.
It's not good as an under eye concealer, as it is a bit thick, I noticed it really clung to the small lines around my eyes especially when I smiled it was very noticable.
I also dislike the applicatior, it does get quite messy - I would've preferred if it had a brush or sponge tip applicator to make the process easier and less messy.

Overall I do like this product, but I don't know whether I would purchase it again.

Product Review - Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

This is my holy grail product. I love it, not only is it great at concealing my under eye circles, it's great at illuminating the area and highlighting it. Unlike the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer, this makes my under eye area and any other area which I use it, such as my nose and cupids bow, a shade lighter than my foundation which I love! That is what I would expect from a highlighting concealer, and this one does it wonderfully, my favourite concealer for this by far!

Do you recommend  any concealers that are great at highlighting that I should try out?

Product Review - Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick

Initially my sister was the one to introduce me to this particular lip product. I've never tried any of the Bourjois lipsticks before but when she told me how fab it was I had to try it for myself.

I do not have a bath thing to say about this product. 

I love the pigmentation and colour of it, it's a really natural slightly nude, muave/pink shade, so it's perfect for everyday, and one swipe is all you need to get wonderful pigmentation of colour.

It lasts for a reasonably long time, I wore it all day yesterday and only had to reapply once and that was it so that's awesome, a lot of my other lipsticks tend to wear off quite easily especially if I'm eating or drinking etc. but this one didn't.

The texture is really smooth and it's very moisturising which I love, as my lips are always dry it doesn't accentuate it or make it worse, it makes my lips look full and juicy :)

Overall, it's a really great product and is definately worth the money. I'll be purchasing more of these lipsticks in the near future for sure

Product Review - Topshop Powder Blush

I'm not a huge wearer of blush, I think I have enough pink in my cheeks that I dont even need to wear any at all, unless I go full coverage, but that doesn't stop me from buying it and as soon as I seen this one in Topshop, I fell in love.

I only have one other blush from Topshop and it's a cream blush called Afternoon Tea, and even though I love it... I prefer this one more. This one is in the shade Good Girl and is a beautiful baby pink shade. It's not chalky or excesively powdery and the pigmentation is wonderful. It also has a slight shimmer to it so it's really flattering when applied and helps to illuminate the look of your skin. It's now my new favourite blush for summer.

I also love the packaging of Topshop products, it's just really simple, white and black - you can not go wrong with that 

Topshop is quite an expensive brand so I wasn't surprised to find that their make-up would also be around the same price range and Bourjois or L'Oreal etc, but it is definately worth the money, I love love love it :)

Product Review: Dream Lumi touch Concealer by Maybelline

I'm on the fence about this product, the reason I picked it up was because I wanted to try a new highlighting concealer for around the eye area and what have you - but I was a little disappointed and a little pleased. 

What I liked...

Firstly I like the packaging, it's short, sweet and simple with a twistable bottom and a brush tip. I like when concealers have brush tips especially for under the eyes, it means there's less hassel and less mess, which is a big yay in my book.

I also like the covering power of the concealer - it gives quite good coverage for under my eyes which is a must for me, I like to have bright healthy looking skin around my eyes which this concealer does.

I love, how it adds a luminescence to my undereyes (clues in the name) - it gives a nice healthy glow without being too obvious or fake looking. 

What I don't like...

I only disliked one thing, and that was the fact it didn't highlight under my eyes - it just, as I said before added a luminescence to the area, I wanted to make the area a shade brighter just to really highlight and define it - but this concealer just didn't carry it out. Which is disappointing because it states it's a highlighting concealer, sad face. 

But I do like this product for the reasons I mentioned before and I may repurchase it when it runs out :)

Review - Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer

The first time I ever seen this product was when I my sister bought it a few years ago and I absoloutely loved it. I use to use it on her all the time, which she didn't appreciate but sure, haha. I've wanted my own ever since then and it has taken me this long to eventually buy it, shame on me. 

What I like...

1. The Packaging - the packaging is really simple, and easy to use/open. It's not incredibly big so I would be able to take it with me in my bag which I really like. I also love the fact that the bronzer looks like chocolate, it really adds to the product and was one of the first things I loved about it.

2. The Product - It smells devine, it looks awesome and is a wonderful colour on my skin, the payoff is also really nice, a little goes a long way and its also very easy to blend. 

3. The Price - it's not extremely dear for a drugstore brand but it is up there with the likes of L'Oreal etc etc, but it is definately worth the money in my opinion. It's £8.99 from Superdrug.

What I Dislike...

I don't dislike anything! I love this product and it is definately my favourite bronzer.
