Rimmel Stay matte powder

Today's product is a staple in my collection , it is rimmel's stay matte pressed powder.  The packaging is quite travel friendly as it had a plastic lid and is also encased in plastic. 

Sorry , the writing does wear off after a while :(

I use a powder puff with this and apply to my t-zone (forehead, nose, chin) to eliminate any shine and minimize pores.

I have the shade 006 which i think is actually the darkest shade and it is perfect, i think darker skinned ladies may have a problem finding a shade to match but there is actually a transparent shade to cater for all skin tones.


It lasts for around 5 hours on me and my skin does look a lot better with it.


I would recommend this for anyone who has oily skin as it covers shine really well or just wants to set their foundation as it lasts quite long.

Playsticks ~ £25.50 - After reading several good reviews about this foundation / concealer/ powder and the fact it's oil free and gives a matte finish i really want to try this.




                             -----------------------------------------------------------------







Erase paste ~ £19.50 - I have almost scraped the last of my current one which obviously means i loved it but at £19.50 it certainly doesn't come cheap!


                             ------------------------------------------------------------------







Dallas face powder ~ £23.50 - as i am olive skinned i think this would be the perfect colour for me and it would be my first venture into the benefit face powders as well.


                           --------------------------------------------------------------------





They're real mascara ~ £18.50 - it seems as though everyone has one of these mascaras and they all seem to have AMAZING lashes so hopefully these would make mine half as nice as that.

Girl meets pearl ~ £24.50 - I've used up 2 teeny-weeny samples of this and now i want the full sized one as it gives such a radiant glow.

L'oreal True match powder

Hola chicas !!!

Today I will be reviewing ‘L’oreal’s true match powder’ (£8.99)

What they say………

True Match Powder perfectly matches the colour and texture of your skin for a flawless finish.The fine, soft and lightweight powder blends perfectly with your complexion, almost as if you were not wearing any make-up. 

Packaging………

It’s very simple.  It has a powder pan on top and that lifts up to reveal a little mirror and sponge.  Unfortunately my lid broke of (not tough enough to survive the old school bag, hmmmL)

The Powder….

I lurve it! It is buttery smooth and feels so light on its honestly as if you’re not wearing any base whatsoever!!!  It has a light to medium coverage (perfect for those days where you don’t want a lot of makeup) and it covers dark circles pretty well.  It wears for about 6 – 7 hours (which is good in my books).  At first there was 24 colours (I think), but now they are only 10 (they obviously picked the best-selling colours but there is still a good variety there).  This has lasted about 4/5 months.  This is the first powder I have ever had and if all powders are like this, well I’ve been missing outJ.  

Verdict – OMG I can not praise this little bundle of lovely enough.  It has (well used to until the lid broke L) a nice place in my bag.  Rush out and buy this now!!!!!

Grade – A+
