Hey guys,

I decided I would do a review for you today now this is something I have been trying out for a while after it was sent to me because I couldn't attend an event :( so this wasn't sent for review but as more of a consolation present from the lovely people over at bareMinerals.

It is the bareMinerals READY Foundation with added SPF20 in it and the recommended brush to use with it the Precision Face Brush.

Hey guys,

So I joined the hype, these are all over instagram and are a nightmare to find for so many people although I have to say I didn't really have that problem but maybe my local boots just had a delivery or something??? I have to say I didn't particularly buy this because of the hype over them but more because they have a fairly low price tag and do exactly what I want them to do.

I picked up the shade Pink Punch which looks a little like this:




I'll definitely be picking up some different shades of these as soon as possible, there is a peach shade with my name on it!!

You can get them from here or here.

Hope you have enjoyed,

Hiya,

Hello beauties,

Apologies for the post on revision that I have only just posted I just noticed that I had saved it as a draft rather than scheduling it :(

Yesterday, I went to the cinema with my dad and little brother to see "the croods" (really good film btw) and I walked by one of the biggest boots stores in the area, how could I resist? Especially with their amazing 3 for 2!!

So I went and bought some goodies all of which happen to be Rimmel:

1) Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

This is something that I have wanted for a while because of the amazing range of shades and knowing that they did a really light shade (I'm so pale that I normally don't even bother swatching, I just buy the lightest shade and go) that would hopefully suit me with out that orange tint I have so often. Another reason for buying this was to replace my natural collection tinted moisturiser because quite frankly it was rubbish, I've really lost faith in them but more about that another time.

I have only worn this today and honestly it's amazing, I suits me perfectly. I purchased the shade 010 light porcelain (swatched below) , which when applied seems almost too pale but then the magic colour match formula gets working and it blends perfectly. It really gives the your skin but better look.

As far as wear is concerned, I think it has lasted really well, I applied the product at about 6:30 this morning and now at nearly 5:30 it's still going strong, this is with a gym session mid afternoon as well! It does feel a little dewy still but it's better than your face feeling really dry and gross!

2) Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

I wanted this just because I had read that the foundation can be a little too dewy if you don't apply setting powder. This is nothing special but is still a really good product. I bought the translucent one as it was simply for setting the foundation rather than adding colour, so I can't say much about pigmentation but I've heard it's good :)

3) Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

These have been raved about in the bloggersphere so much the last few weeks I just had to try it and when it was free on the 3 for 2 it would be rude not too.

I love this just like nearly every other blogger, it looks like a gloss but has the feel of a lipstick on your lips rather than a sticky mess. I bought the colour 600 nude eclipse (swatched below) as I had run out of a neutral lip colour and I wasn't brave enough to try out a bright colour as I don't really feel they suit me. These are definitely worth the money if you don't own one (at least) you need to.

Hope you have enjoyed this little haul,

Howdy,

So today marks day four of nail related posts, this wasn't intentional but as I will be uploading the reivew of the nail look posted on Monday tomorrow I will have done a weeks worth of nail posts so I hope you have enjoyed and I'm sure there will be many more in the future.

So onto today's product, as mentioned in the dotty nail tutorial I have found a nail polish remover that I absolutely love. It is the Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover for weak nails.

I bought this stuff in Morrisions (a UK supermarket) when I was staying at my dad's house and realised I had no remover with me if I had a little misshap when painting my nails which undoubtedly I did. I wasn't expecting amazing things after all it was £2.99 however, it is cutex so I wasn't expecting it to be rubbish either.

I literally have nothing bad to say about this product it is nothing but amazing. I ended up buying the weak nails one just because they had run out of the normal one and it's all they had left. Whilst weak nails is something I struggle with it had never crossed my mind that a nail polish remover could help me fix that problem, but two uses later my nails already feel ten times stronger thanks to the added vitamins and minerals. I might just have to paint my nails just so I can use this on my nails and hopefully combat my little problem.

Something, which I have only just noticed whilst sitting do this review is that on the bottle just under the bit about added vitamins and minerals it says that the remover has a nail whitening formula. I hadn't even seen this but looking down at my nails on the keyboard not only are they now stronger the tips are now considerably whiter.

In regard to the job I actually bought this product for it works like a dream, it removes the polish so much easier than the basic shop brand removers I have had before and it smells like vanilla rather than that god awful smell so many other removers have.

I hope you have liked this review on something many beauty bloggers just take as another boring thing in the back of the cupoard. Although, I would call this one of my beauty essentials......in fact I may just add this post to that label now.
