Accessorize Blusher in 'Scandal'

I have been wanting to try one of the blushers/bronzers from Accessorize for the longest time and for only £5 I don't know why I haven't picked one up before, but a couple of weeks ago I picked one of these up from Superdrug and I am very glad I did!

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

I have been wanting to try this powder for quite a while now, but I wanted to finish my 17 Shine Control Powder first, which I absolutely love! If you want to see a review of that powder click here , but when it was time to repurchase a powder I decided to give this one a go and I am really glad that I did.

I loved my 17 Shine Control Powder but my only issue with it was that it could start to look a little cakey, and when you applied it it gave extra coverage which I didn't always want. I picked up the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Transparent for this reason. 

What Rimmel says about the powder: Up to 5 hours natural shine control with natural minerals. Helps minimise the appearance of pores.

This powder definitely lasts a long time, and although sometimes I like to repowder, the majority of the time this gets me through most of the time that I am out which is usually about 4/5 hours and then it is time to repowder. This powder also wears really well, it doesn't start to look cakey or patchy and wears off evenly which is great and makes it easier to touch up your makeup and get it back to looking as close as possible to how it did when you first applied it. 

Rimmel also has a fairly large range of shades for this powder so you are bound to find one that matches your skintone, they even do some very pale shades too which is great because sometimes powders can be quite orange from the drugstore. I am not sure what the coverage is like with these powders because I picked it up in 'Transparent'.

This retails at £3.99 which is so affordable and I have had it for just over a month and I have barely made a dent. When you first purchase this it is embossed with the Rimmel crown logo but this wears off after a couple of uses however I think this makes the product more classy, I love it when brands emboss their logos. Is that just me? The packaging is pretty sturdy plastic and doesn't feel cheap either, however it is definitely not the most classy powder compact on the market, although for me this doesn't matter. 

I really love this powder and I definitely think I will be repurchasing this when I have finished with it!

Garnier Eye Roll On

When I first picked this up ages ago when there was first hype around this product I absolutely hated it and put it to the back of my drawers and then I started using it again and am now on my third tube! I don't know why I didn't like it because now it is one of my favourite under eye concealers and I wouldn't be without it.

I love the consistency of this product, although I love my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer I find that it is a bit too thick for under my eyes and it tends to crease a lot. This is much better because it has such a light and liquid texture but really helps to brighten under the eyes and disguise bags. This concealer almost has a yellow/salmon colour to it which is great at counteracting the blue/black caused by under eye circles. I got mine in light which is quite a good colour match for me, although perhaps a little to dark. This is available in four shades I believe: Fair, Light, Medium and Dark.

This is also really nice for in the morning when you feel tired. My eyes always feel like they are kind of burning when I get up and the metal roller ball on this concealer is always nice and cold which is really refreshing and helps to wake me up a bit, it may just be the placebo effect but it works for me anyway.

The other great thing about this concealer is you can wear it by itself and it doesn't make you look like you have two lines of concealer under your eyes it just blends in with your skin because of the light consistency. 

This retails for £9.99 although is currently on offer in Boots with £3 off. They have also changed the packaging so if you click here it will take you to the link for what it now looks like. I personally think that £9.99 is a little bit too pricey for the product so I usually buy it cheaper online or wait for their to be an offer on.

No7 Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink

Hi Everyone,

and welcome back to the first of many posts! I have taken loads of pictures today before it started raining and I am going to be writing the posts over today and tomorrow so hopefully I can now post every other day which will be great so please leave me some suggestions of what you would like to see!

I am a massive fan of lip crayons because they are the perfect middle ground between a lipstick and a lipgloss which I love. Sometimes lipstick is too much, but lipgloss is an understatement so to have something in the middle is fantastic. When I went to get colour matched for a new foundation from No7 they had a 'Buy one get second half price' deal on so I decided to try one of No7's lip crayon's. I have only tried the Clinique Chubby Sticks because after I picked one of these up around this time last year I then went on a spending ban so didn't try any of the Drugstore alternatives, but I really want to try the MUA power pouts and the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains. 

I picked up the shade 'Delicate Pink'. These retail for £9, but I picked mine up for £4.50. Although these are at the pricier end of this market they are 100% worth it. 'Delicate Pink' is a gorgeous colour, it is a slightly brighter than average middle pink but is super natural and is a great colour for Spring/Summer. Like the other balms on the market this isn't extremely long lasting, but I didn't expect it to be. However without eating or drinking this will last a good hour or so. They are also super easy to apply as well which is great.

This doesn't claim to be a stain like the Revlon ones do so understandably they don't last as long, however even when the glossy effect wears off these leave some of the colour behind, and I think that the darker shades in this collection would last even longer. These claim to be 'High Shine' and they definitely are, although they don't make your lips to shiny which I personally hate. They are moisturising and don't leave my lips feeling dry which is an added bonus.

No7 is a brand that I am really starting to love. Before I never really went near their stand in Boots however now I am finding myself loving their nail varnishes, mascaras, foundations and lip products. I also love my cleanser and moisturiser from them and have re purchased both, which is unusual for me because I usually go off skincare products by the time I have finished with them.
