Hi! I have dry skin. Very dry skin. But I absolutely love matte foundation. So finding a foundation that makes my skin beautifully matte and not looking & feeling like the Sahara desert is kind of hard. I've tried Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation, Max Factor's Whipped Crème foundation, and so on, but they've never had the right texture. But recently found Maybelline's Matte & Poreless foundation, and I love it! I have the shade '115 Ivory', and it only costs £6.99. Packaging On the whole, I do not like the packaging that this product has. It's in a squeezy tube which is really hard to get all of the product out, and when you get to the end you have to snip the top off to get it all out. This process normally ends up in a huge mess. I much prefer a tube with a pump. However, that being said, some of the shades do actually come in a glass bottle. I don't know why. But the black design with the pale turquoise accent colour is really...

Hi! So I love blusher and bronzer. And I am always on the look out for the best possible products for the best possible price. And this little duo from e.l.f. is definitely one of my favourite products. It is affordable, has good-looking packaging, and contains genuinely great powders. What's not to love? I have the shade 'St. Lucia' and it only costs £5! Firstly, the packaging of this product is very nice. It comes in a sleek, matte black case, and is very similar to that of Nars. This packaging also features a good sized mirror and therefore makes this product perfect for traveling with. The casing also feels very sturdy, and unlikely to break. The actual powders are really lovely. The blusher is a pale peachy-pink colour and has gold shimmer running through it. The pigmentation is perfect so that it adds a subtle glow to the face. The bronzing powder is also warm toned, again with the gold shimmer within it. When applied to the hollows of the che...

Hi! I have mentioned this is a couple of my earlier posts, but if you don't know, I love highlighters. What I also love, are products that are new and that I haven't tried anything like it before. The products that I am reviewing today is all of those. It is is the Rimmel Brow This Way Highlighting Pencil in the shade '002 Shimmer'. I never thought I needed a highlighter specifically for the brow/eye area, but this little product showed me that I did need one. And it is very affordable as it only costs £4.99! This product is a very cute, little chubby stick, that is iridescent/champagne in colour. The outside of the pencil is the same colour as the highlighter. It is small, but it is mighty. It is a typical wooden pencil, with a clear, plastic lid that fits nicely onto to the top, and feels unlikely to slide off in a makeup bag. The actual highlighter is firm in texture, to applies smoothly to wherever you apply it. it has a slightly warm undertone ...

Hi!  So, contouring and highlighting a beauty trend that is likely to last forever. It is incredibly popular, with many brands releasing their versions of contouring products, and of the latest is that from Rimmel London; their Kate Moss Sculpting Palette. This one is in the shade '003 Golden Bronze'. For a few years now I have been using the Sleek version of this product, and I didn't think it would be possible to stop me from using it. It is affordable, pigmented, and travel-friendly. However, this Rimmel palette may just have beaten the Sleek one. This kit only costs £6.99, whereas the Sleek one is £9.99 Firstly, the packaging is very good looking. The lid had rose-gold on it, and it lifts up to reveal the powders nestled in sturdy, black plastic. That being said, this type of plastic lid does have a tendency to break at the hinge. So, if it was to spend a lot of time in a makeup bag or handbag, it may not be the one. On the back, it contains a useful...
