August Empties

Hey everyone , it's been a long time since i put up a post for you guy's but school has been pretty hectic but it is now september and i have a few (finished) products to show you.

I have to say that i really enjoyed putting my used items in my little Benefit 'finding mr bright' box as it was a little incentive to finish products more quickly.

 First of all we have my l'oreal nude magique bb cream.  I don't really have an opinion yet as there obviously wasn't a lot of product.
Next was my l'oreal eyeliner which you can read about here.

Then we have my rimmel vinyl gloss which you can also read about over here.

I really loved the lift and luminate night cream (i even cut the top off so i could get all the product out as it did make my skin seem radiant) I might even but this next time i'm in boots to give you all a review on it 

Last of all we have no7 extreme length mascara and i used this as my bottom lash mascara and it wasn't clumpy and i will buy this once all my current mascaras are finished.

Real techniques stippling brush

Hello everyone, today i am going to review a brush from the insanely popular real techniques brand.  For those who don't know real techniques was created by Samantha Chapman (sam from pixiwoo) They both use the brushes very frequently in their YouTube tutorials - link!

The stippling brush has been reviewed a lot in the blogging world but i thought i'd get my two-cents in anyway.

I picked mine up at boots for £11.99 but if you don't live near a boots or not in the UK you can buy them online.

The RT brushes (mind if i call them that now? ) are ridiculously hyped but i completely understand why.  They are just so perfect!!! They are unlike any other brushes in the high-street, they are reasonably priced and great quality.  The stippling brush is made out of super soft, synthetic taklon bristles like all the other RT brushes.  My only con is after every use the brush feels cakey and dirty and needs a wash again.  I use this for liquid foundation mainly my make up forever hd foundation (if you would like a review on that let me know in the comments) and it does look bloody fantastic if i do say so myself but i am yet to try it on a cream blush so i can't say how that fare with this brush.  I find it doesn't work well with thick foundations so stick to a thin one (i find MUFE HD to be in the medium category)

Overall it is a good brush and i recommend it just don't run out to buy it right this minute.

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream

Blueberry Ice Cream is part of the permanent nail polish range from Barry M.  It is a pastel pale blue which also manages to have a tiny bit of brightness.

The formula is amazing as it is opaque in one coat but I put 2 coats on by force of habit.

Sorry about the really bad clean-up of the nails but I was in a rush.

Overall for £2.99 you can't go wrong with this polish

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Yes I have finally dabbled into the BB cream faze and I must say I’m not quite impressed.  So I should probably say first of all that a BB cream is basically like a tinted moisturizer which also has other benefits thrown in.  It is originally found in Asia but the craze has brought it here.

I love the packaging as it is fresh looking (does that make sense , I mean like it is clean and crisp looking ha-ha) and the fact it had a seal on it when I opened it , I like this because then I can be sure no one else has opened it before me.  There are a selection of shades (4 I think) so I chose dark and gosh it was like opening fake tan which incidentally I never use as I’m already really tan.

Claims

1.Creates a natural glow.

2.Compliments skin-tone.

3. SPF30 UV protection.

4. Hydrates all day.

5. Blurs imperfections.

6. Oil free - non greasy.

7. Looks visibly fresh.

8. Feels fresh.

 Fortunately though it is a dream to blend as it was quite runny so it worked for me.  I liked the price (8.99) and it is good value for money in my opinion, it states that it adds a glow to your face and I have to disagree in fact it is semi matte.    It won't last very long on my skin (4 or 5 hours at most), its not very hydrating and also that it is crazy sheer so it is only for decent skin days and even then you will need extra cover such as concealer.  

The only good things are that it is oil free and contains SPF 30 but then again so do other, probably better tinted moisturizers/BB creams

Collection 2000 cream puff lip cream

Hey everyone,

Today i wanted to share a recent find of mine ...... Collection 2000 cream puff lip cream in the shade 'cotton candy - 1'.  I have been hearing countless phaises about them and i only just found them (well to be honest i wasn't looking very hard) but nevertheless i'm glad i have!

What they say...

Velvet vibes have been all over the catwalk, high street and your favourite celebs. Now you can wear it on your lips with our new velvet-feel, matte-look lip cream!

 Enriched with a hyper-moisturising, vitamin-rich formula, the creamy colour hugs lips to give your pout the perfect powdery finish. Available in four snoggable shades - Cotton Candy, Fairy Cake, Powder Puff and Angel Delight - for a beauty look that's bound to wow. 

From my point of view and many others , this is the favourite and i can see why. I love the rosy pink colour, how it makes your lips look subtly fresh but it still stands out.

When you open the lipgloss it does have a vanilla scent which personally i like (i think it goes with the whole sweet theme).  It has the usual doe-foot applicator and a velvet like texture which is really moisturizing even though they come out matt.  I've found that they last around 4 hours which i think is quite good considering they're not even lipsticks.

Available at superdrug, boots and some supermarkets that sell collection 2000 for £2.99
