L'Oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream
The blur cream was a product which I was on the fence about. The tube is very small for the price that you pay. At £9.99 I personally wouldn't buy this product again. I brought this product when it was NEW in as I wanted to see if it was any good. When applying it comes out blotchy and is hard to squeeze out. I wanted to trim the ends but I was worried that the lid would then not fit on the top. When applying the product its a satin feel and leaves my skin very soft but I only use this product on my dry skin that I want to even out. I wouldn't use this product everyday, I only use it if I am going on a night out and want my skin to look flawless. I got it in a Medium but I think I could of done with a lighter colour. Overall I was Pretty unsatisfied with the product and I haven't brought another one since purchasing this one in the picture. There are cheaper and better alternatives in drug stores. However always give it a try like me as you never know.
Overall I would give this a 1 1/2 out of 5.
Pearl Drops Beauty Sleep overnight serum
The reason why I purchased this product was to help my teeth whiten through the night. I went through a stage of wanted very white teeth and tried everything to make them white. Applying this became part of my routine at night. You cannot eat or drink anything half an hour after applying this as the product will rub off. However my routine consisted of glass of water, remove make up, brush teeth, apply the pearl drops and sleep, when I woke up in the morning I would brush it off.
The taste was minty which was a plus, as I have tried other products for teeth whitening and they don't always have a nice taste. You also only need a pea size of product so it stretches a long way.
The product was cheap to purchase at about £4, and I used this product until it ran out. I would defiantly recommend this product.
3 1/2 out of 5.
W7 PHOTOSHOOT FOUNDATION
I brought this foundation as I heard good things about it, so I thought I would try it after I ran out of my BB cream. The foundation glides on smoothly and stays on throughout the day, however it did start to become apparent around my nose and eyebrows that It was starting to come off throughout the day. This foundation was a nice colour match to my skin. As you can see from the chart there is a range of colours that you can choose from, its just about picking the right one.
I think this foundation works well with a setting powder and also helps to keep the foundation on the skin. However the only problem with the product is the bottle as there is no pump so you can have to pour it onto the back of your hand. Sometimes the foundation doesn't come out and therefore I have to get the end of the brush out to get the foundation. However for a drug store foundation the colour and feel of the foundation is worth the prices.
Overall I would give this product a 3 out of 5 but only based on the price of the foundation and the outcome.
Sleek Makeup Brow Review
This eyebrow kit by sleek is part of my everyday make up. I brought this pallet a year ago after I battled with my eyebrows. I tried pencils, gels, eye shadow and eventually I tried this product. I only use the Shaping wax to actually fill in my eyebrows as I find the setting powder doesn't do anything for me as I don't like having completely matte eyebrows. The products comes with mini tweezers and an angled and blending brush, which I lost the second I brought it. As for a product I wish sleek did more ranges in colour as I am a darker shade of brown than this, so I have now find a gel that I use before I apply this gel to fill in my brows. The product is linked below, I brought mine from super drug and at the moment it is: £8.49

However you may need to shop around if you want it cheaper.
I would rate this product a 3 out of 5 overall.

Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm
I got given this as a gift for my birthday, I don't tend to by lip gloss products as I don't tend to wear them. However as this was a birthday gift I thought I would use it and I was surprised. The product glides along your lips really well and feels super moisturized, however after about half an hour and a glass of coke later it was pretty much non existent and left me with a little line of colour on my bottom lip with I didn't really appreciate. The colour however for the half an hour was lovely and suited my skin tone. With the colour really suiting me I would continue using this product but add powder over the top to make it set. If this doesn't work then I may only use it if I want a moisturizer for my lips. Overall if this wasn't a gift I wouldn't of brought it.
BEAUTY UK ULTIMATE CONTOUR PALETTE
I picked up this little beauty
about 6 months ago and I cannot go back on it now. This is one of the best
contour palettes that I have picked up. At around £5 this was a complete
bargain, the three shades for contouring are the perfect shades for me. I use
the bronzing and contour colour together to create definition on my cheekbones
and nose and use the highlighter on my T zone areas. The creamy texture makes
it easier to apply and blend. By adding powder and a bronzer you can get the
chisel cheekbones that are desired. As you can see from the picture I have used
this palette a lot and need to purchase another. I would recommend this product
to anyone who is on a budget and wants to create definition.
