Review: Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I'm going to be doing a review on the New Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation.

I want to do more reviews on products and more make-up looks as I really enjoy it and I always look at

reviews before going out to purchase a products - especially if it's expensive! So I hope this helps

some of you guys!

(Sorry for the terrible no-make-up picture! But I wanted you to see how good the foundation is compared to my natural skin)

Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation in Cameo

This is before I put any foundation on at all. All I have on here is moisturiser and I've always done my eyebrows.

I'm looking quite pasty these days and along with the bit of flash from the camera, I do look washed out but, you

can see I do have some blemishes on my face before putting any make-up on.  My skin tone is sometimes uneven

and red in some places where I've got/had blemishes.

I haven't got a massive review to write out as I feel this foundation is just very simple and easy and doesn't need

a long review on it as I feel the review should be as simple and easy as the foundation. So I've written out simple

sentences I like or dislike about the product.

I applied this foundation with a damp make-up sponge.

I don't care too much for the applicator as it's slightly awkward but I can get over that.

It doesn't have a strong or overpowering scent to it at all.

It gives great coverage and evens out skin tone but it isn't full coverage and only slightly hides blemishes.

Dries quickly (almost to a powder form) and isn't oily or cakey.

Easy to apply and blend into the skin. 

It gives lovely natural/flawless look which, is what the product is designed to do.

It doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all and doesn't really feel like you have foundation on which, again, is the

point of the product.

Over all I really like this foundation and think it gives a clean, flawless and natural look. I think it would suit

all skin types. I would just advise people with dry skin to moisturise before hand and people with oily skin to

apply a primer or some sort. The only dislikes for me on this product is the applicator. It's supposed to be 'fuss-free'

but I don't find it any easy to apply this than any other foundation I own. Otherwise I'm really happily surprised

with this foundation and have used it everyday since I got it!

It retails for £5.99 at the moment in Boots and Superdrug and there's also 3 for 2 on Maybelline!

After my full make-up is applied.

Review: Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the new(ish) Urban Decay Perversion mascara.

Perversion came out earlier this year and claims that it can give you 'bigger, blacker, badder lashes'.

With this purchase, I also received a free sample of the Subversion lash primer. I've heard so many good

things about this mascara and the fact that Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day made me just

want to buy it for that reason! Today I'm going to tell you whether this mascara and primer live up to their

expectations. 

When I first heard about this mascara, I wasn't actually very fussed about it. Probably because I hadn't seen

any advertising for it or seen many people even review or talk about it. A few months ago whilst I was having

a look round Urban Decay for something else, the guy at the counter kept pushing this mascara on me and I

just wasn't interested. He said how Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day and how great of a mascara

it is. I don't usually buy into all the stuff people at counters say as it's their job to try and sell you the product

whether it's good or not. I will just leave it and research the product for myself. So that's what I did. I found

out that Kim Kardashian did actually wear it at her wedding (which kinda did sell it to me) and I did see some

quite good reviews. I had a coupon code for 20% off so just went ahead and bought it and see if it is actually worth it.

Firstly, the packaging on this mascara is so simple, sleek and pretty. I love the gunmetal colour with the pop of

purple on it. The primer packaging is also very simple and sleek which I love.

The Subversion primer really helps get your lashes ready for the mascara. It separates and lengthens your lashes
so well and just gets them prepared for the mascara. I forgot to picture it after with just the primer on I'm afraid. I personally feel like it really makes a difference. I really feel like you need to use this before the mascara to be
able to get the most out of the mascara itself. 

You can see the difference on how much longer my lashes are. This is probably in my opinion the best mascara 
I've ever used. My lashes are longer and separated and really make my eyes look more defined. I have used the
mascara with out the primer and I don't feel like I get the same effect unfortunately. When I use the primer I
only need one coat of it and one coat of the mascara and I'm satisfied. Whereas, if I use the mascara alone I will
need a few more coats to get the same effect and my lashes aren't as separated without the primer. 

Overall, I really like this mascara and will definitely be repurchasing it. The only thing is, I will have to repurchase
the primer also as I feel like it makes such a difference. At £17, it's a bit pricey but you do get the free primer and
I'm yet to see how long it lasts me. So far I've had it for about a month and I still feel like I've got tons of product
left, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase!

Review: Makeup Revolution Amazing Lipsticks

Hey everyone!

Today I'm going to be doing a review on Makeup Revolution's Amazing lipstick range.

My local Superdrug has recently started stocking this brand, which, has made very happy!

Whilst having a search at what they did, I saw these lipsticks for only £1 and thought I'll give some

a go and if I don't like them then it's okay as they were only £1 each! I picked up the colour 'Divine'

(pictured far left) a few weeks back and because I liked it so much, I went back a few days later

and they were practically sold out! The other 3 I bought were pretty much the only

colours left.

   (L-R Divine, Luscious, Beloved & Lady)

Makeup Revolution at Superdrug

When I first saw these lipsticks I was so in love, the colours are absolutely beautiful and they have such a

great range of shades to choose from. I did assume that because they were £1, they were probably going to

be a bit crap. Man, was I wrong! When I first tried Divine, I found that not only does it stay for quite a

while but it didn't transfer when kissing. I think that's pretty damn good considering I didn't even have to use

my lipcote! 

The price to me is absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong with a lipstick for £1! From What I can see, there

are about 22 different colours in this range, so if you want to collect the whole range then it's only going to cost

you £22, which I think is amazing.

The other thing I'm pretty impressed with is the fact that they are so creamy, event the matte shades! I find that some

matte lipsticks can be quite dry and not go on very smoothly. They are also much more pigmented that I thought

you would be. I'm so impressed.

Overall I really like these lipsticks and will definitely be purchasing more of them. Its unfortunate that they

always seem to sell out so fast in my local Superdrug and although you can buy it online, I like to have a look

at the products in person and swatch everything. With them only be £1, you can't go wrong at all. I definitely

suggest trying them out if you like to experiment with you lip colour or your just a lip product addict!

Hit or Miss: Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation & Eraser Eye Concealer Review.

Hey guys.

Today I'm going to be reviewing two products from Maybelline. Neither of them are new and both

have been reviewed many times before I'm sure, but recently I've wanted to switch up my boring routine

of always using the same foundation and concealer. After doing a bit of researching, I wanted to try these

two from Maybelline as they both have some great reviews, are easily accessible and are really inexpensive.

 Foundation: 010 Ivory          Concealer: Light

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation

This foundation claims that it gives you a flawless finish and evens skin tone instantly . It also claims that you will

have better looking skin in 3 weeks. Now, I've been using this foundation for about a week now. So far I really love

it. This particular shade is very slightly darker than me. I can just about get away with it if I blend really well. I will

be going back to repurchase the next shade down but I'm pretty sure the next shade down is the lightest colour

they had and I'm not THAT pale. So if you are very fair then you might be able to try this out as it doesn't have

a very wide range of shades from what I've seen in store.

I do love the look this foundation gives me when I wear it. It gives you a great glow, makes you look very

energised and healthy. I Wouldn't say it completely full coverage as I still have to use concealer but it does

cover up the majority or imperfections on my face. It gives quite a dewy finish on my face (which I love) but I

usually dab a bit of powder over my t-zone otherwise it makes you look quite oily. I've got dry/spot prone skin,

so I wouldn't  necessarily recommend this to anyone with oily skin. So far as the 'better looking skin in 3 weeks'

goes, I haven't noticed anything dramatic yet but we'll see!

Overall, I am really liking this foundation. The pros to this are that it gives a great finish and makes my skin look

very healthy and awake. It's very easy to get hold of it and it's under £10. Also, it does contain SPF 20 which I

always like in foundations. The only cons to this foundation is that it can transfer quite easily onto clothes and

for me, pillows! Which is something that is quite annoying considering on the packaging they've wrote

'Non-transfer'. Also it hasn't got much of a range of shades to choose from in stores.

I'm gonna give this foundation a HIT because I really do love it. I just have to learn not to lay on any pillows!


Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer

I've been quite a loyal with my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer for quite a while but I have wanted to
try this one for a very long time and I am SO happy I have. I know this is for the under eye area but I do use this all
over the face just because it's so good. I don't have too much to say about this concealer just because I can't really
fault it. Once it's set, it doesn't crease under the eyes and stays put all day. It's so easy to use, easy to get hold of,
inexpensive and glides on so nicely.

Anyway, I think you get the gist of it. I really love it, so it's gotta be a HIT.
