Rimmel Foundations! My Top Picks!

Hey beaut's!

Rimmel are definitely one of my favourite makeup brands on the high street, the quality of their makeup is pretty incredible and they are the one brand I'm forever repurchasing from, and today I thought I'd talk all things foundation and share with you all my top picks from Rimmel! Rimmel really do know how to make a cracking foundation don't they... Whatever your skins concerns, Rimmel have it covered, their range of long wearing, lightweight foundations ensure that you can cover blemishes and imperfections without that awful cakey, mask effect and all for an affordable price.

Match Perfection Foundation £6.99 ( Illuminating)

If you want a foundation to really even out the skin tone whilst making you look completely radiant then Match Perfection is the foundation for you. It's a high tech medium coverage foundation that contains a sapphire radiance complex which will basically illuminate your skin making it appear more healthy and add that glow to the skin which is exactly what I need when its dreary and dull outside at this time of the year. I would recommend this foundation to all skin types and I love how cheap it is too.

Wake Me Up Foundation £8,99 ( Radiance)

Missed out on your eight hours of beauty sleep? Need a serious pick me up? Then Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation will be the one for you. Wake me up provides a medium-buildable coverage that will have your skin looking instantly brighter, healthier and more awake thanks to its fresh, dewy finish. I find it really easy to work with and blends out beautifully and if you have skin prone to dry patches like I do then fear not as Wake Me Up doesn't cling to the patches at all which is a major bonus for me.

Lasting Finish Full Coverage Foundation £7.99 (Long Lasting)

Rimmels Lasting Finish Full Coverage Foundation is one of their newly released foundations and one I absolutely love. As the name suggests it does provide full coverage which is something I never really opt for in a foundation as prefer something much lighter but I have do admit it feels and looks blooming fantastic on the skin, I was amazed at just how lightweight it felt considering it was full coverage. The foundation is also enriched with comfort serum which helps keep your skin hydrated and looking flawless and because of its 25 hour lasting ability it makes the foundation transfer proof, long wearing and never needs touching up or re-doing during the day. Again I would recommend this for all skin types and it does'nt cling to my dry patches at all.

Stay Matte Foundation £5.99 ( Mattifying)

Although I never really got on with this foundation because of my dry skin type I couldn't not include it in this post as it's works amazingly on any of you oily skinned girlie's. It's full coverage formula contains weightless mattifying powders which do feel very nice on the skin and blends out beautifully and will keep your skin locking shine free all day, its also a very affordable £5.99.

And there you have it beaut's, my Rimmel Foundation top picks! You really cant beat Rimmel when it comes to high street foundations can you... Especially when you combine everything from the price, quality, long lasting ability, packaging, how easy they are to work with and wear, the list really could go on he he.

Whats your favourite Rimmel Foundation beaut's?? I'd love to know!!

July Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey beaut's!

Its that time again.... Monthly favourites time!!! I know we all say this every month but honestly I cant believe how quick the months are going, its crazy...  It will be Christmas again before we know it haha, woop woop! Anywhoooo today I thought I would share with you all the makeup and beauty products that I've been loving throughout July, so here goes....

Makeup Revolution

I have simply been obsessed with Makeup Revolution this month, last month and probably the month before that ha ha, I honestly couldn't choose one favourite makeup item for this post because I've been using so many of their products on a daily basis in my everyday routine. I have particularly been blown away by their lipsticks, Rebel with a Cause being my absolute favourite, the Flawless Eyeshadow Palette has also been used more or less everyday since it arrived on my door mat, the Cover and Conceal Palette has me in concealer heaven and the Blush and Contour Palette in Sugar Rush needs to be on every ones wish list because its stunning! The quality and value for money is seriously good and as you can tell I'm going Makeup Revolution mad over here ha ha.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory

I think Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation is always going be one of my ultimate favourite foundations and one I will always keep going back too because it's just so blooming good! I hadn't actually used Wake Me Up in a while because I've been testing other foundations and CC creams but as I was looking through my makeup collection it was just looking at me asking to be used again hehe, I've actually been using it everyday since and have been reminded of just how beautiful it looks on the skin, it's just so natural looking, dewy, lightweight, radiant, great on dry skin types like myself and is perfect to use all year round, it's just amazing!

My Current Nail Loves...

Ive been going through a real girlie stage with my nails this past month and have been loving all things pink whether they are pastel, bright or sparkly I have just been obsessed! I actually received the two Nail Girls polishes in beauty boxes, the base/top coat came in a Glossy box and the dusky baby pink shade called Nude Pink came in a Love Me Beauty box and if I'm being honest I had never heard of the Nail Girls brand before but I have now found out why they are priced at £13.50 a bottle... because the formula is brilliant, Nude Pink is so creamy and slightly on the thicker side compared to your average nail polish and seems to dry opaque and shiny after just one coat which is really impressive, it's also an extremely hard wearing nail polish brand too and takes ages to chip. And to add abit of glitz and sparkle, I've been using Makeup Revolutions Streetcar Desire as a top coat just on my accent nail, I'm so in love with this nail combination at the moment.

Prada Candy Florale Perfume

I only received this Prada Candy Floral Perfume in May and I have nearly used up the entire 50ml bottle already, it's just the most beautiful Summer scent and I find it so nice to wear from day to day. Candy Florale is actually inspired by an imaginary flower that smells like candy or a bouquet of flowers standing on the counter of an ice cream shop in Italy, so basically think of a light peony floral scent with a touch of sweetness and that your scent right there...Arrhh sweetness and floral, whats not to love! I have done a full review of the Prada Candy Florale Perfume HERE if you like to take a peek beaut's but if not take my word for it, this perfume smells insanely good and the bottle ain't half bad either.

Mitchum Advanced Control Roll On in Waterlily

Now I know this is very random, I don't think I've ever seen a roll on in someones favourites before but I just couldn't leave it out. I picked the Mitchum roll on up in Superdrug on a complete whim, it was on offer a few months back so it automatically just got thrown into my basket and after using it I certainly wont be straying from this Mitchum brand anytime soon, it just keeps me nice a fresh all day and I can smell the Waterlily scent (which is incredible by the way) all throughout the day too, it doesn't leave me with horrible white marks on my clothes and you get 100ml's instead of the usual 50mls that roll ons usually have, yes it is slightly more expensive when it isn't on offer but its totally worth, trust me its amazing!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner

Ive been growing my hair out for a while now and leaving it longer between cuts so it often feels dry and looks abit dull, but those days are now gone because the Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner seem to work wonders on my hair, the opulent formula leaves my hair feeling moisturised, healthy, shiny and smelling lovely, which is everything I want from shampoo and conditioner hehe. If you havent tried these out yet then I'd highly recommend them beaut's! 

What have been your favourite beauty products to use throughout July beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

High Street Beauty Haul

Hey girlie's!!!

I'm back with a High street Beauty Haul for you all today as I was naughty again and treated myself to a couple of bits, and the fact I work opposite Superdrug really doesn't help my bank balance either ha ha. Anyway onto the little treats I picked up....

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory £8.99

This was pretty much a must have repurchase as its one of my all time favourite foundations, I absolutely love everything about it, its just perfect for me and something I always have to have in my make up stash. 

Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick in Valentine £2.99
I only have 2 lipsticks by Collection and I love them so I thought I'd add another one to my collection and I just couldn't resist it's bright red shade. I just think this lipstick would look incredible with a nice matte neutral eye and dramatic black winged out liquid liner, ohhh I think its so lovely and that look on a night out would be gorgeous!!! 

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara in Black £8.99
Ive been after this mascara ever since it got released in America and I've hated having to wait for it to touch down in the UK, but finally I have it!!! If you know me, you will know I have an unhealthy addiction to buying mascara's, I just love trying them all out ha ha, so far I'm really loving this one, I'll be reviewing it for you all soon so keep an eye out beaut's.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light £3.99 (On Offer)

 BB Cream's were so popular last summer but I never picked one up for some crazy reason but as Maybelline had a Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price offer on everything I thought I may as well try one if I was getting it half the price. Like the 'Big Eyes' Mascara I've been loving the BB Cream so far and I cant believe I've waited this long to try one.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Water £3.32
I love Micellar Waters but I hadn't tried L'Oreal's offering yet and Ive heard so many good things about it that I thought I may as well give it a go, I also love the fact its for eye, face and lips.

Cucumber Cooling Clay Mask 99p or Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price
Ive really been getting into skincare alot more recently since my skins getting less sensitive now as I'm getting older. It's been years since I've bought a face mask because every time I used them in the past my face would get a horrible reaction that would be there for days, but after spotting these cooling cucumber masks and noticing they are ideal for sensitive skin sufferers I thought I'd give them a whirl.

15 Shades Corrector/Contour Makeup Palette £3.99 including p&p
This is a little cheat item that I wanted to add in my haul as I haven't actually bought this Contour/Corrector kit in the high street, however it has a high street price that I'm sure alot of you girlie's would be interested in. This kit set me back a tiny £3.99 from EBay, what a bargain!!! The kit comes complete with 15 cream contour/corrector shades that are perfect for contour beginners like myself, I'll go into more detail when I review the kit in a upcoming blog post, but for the price it's fab!!!

So that's my little high street haul for you all lovelie's, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you've picked up any high street gems recently that I need to try.
