Rimmel Wake me up foundation review

I am now testing many different foundation as you will realise in the next few post  searching for the perfect foundation for me at the moment . I had tried the wake me up concealer  and  loved it . I went out and bought the foundation to match . I like the foundation as it has a high coverage and reflects light and makes my skin have a dewy finish to it .This last all day when set with a powder and I have oily combination skin But on the other hand the colour is a bit to dark for me and it is the lightest shade there is(ivory 100) .  overall a good foundation and would recommend . It can be found at most drugstores and supermarkets and retails at £8.99

Thank you

Yankee Candle Dupe

I love Yankee candle but because I live a long way from any Yankee shops I don’t really get much opportunities to buy them. One of my favourite is the vanilla cupcake.  It is very sweet smelling but I don’t like to burn it because I know it will be another month before I go to a town with a Yankee store.  But fear not I have found a good mach to the smell of the Yankee one. It from a brand star lytes and it called vanilla crème. I found this in the original factory shop for amazing value £5 for 18oz where the Yankee is 16.99 for a 14.5oz and 19.99 for a 22oz. as you can tell there is a huge gap in price. One down fall for the star lytes is that it dose burn twice as fast but  it still a steel for £5. I have not try any other fragrance from this brand  and this because in my local shop there is only a small selection and this is one of the down side that will effect me.

Is it too early to start the Christmas shop?

There is 4 month and 24 days till the big day but are you starting to think about it or is it too early. In my opinion is never too early and this because of all the expense there is.

One of the way I save for Christmas is I put money towards  love2shop vouchers that is a big help for my every Christmas. There is many high street shop that you can use them including Argos, Iceland, Debenhams and more.
 

Another way is that you choose a specific piece of money and save them  in a money box or a pot through out the year. This could be 5p, 10p 20p , 50p, £1 or £2  . And I will bet you that you will be  surprise  how much you will save.
 

Another way you can do it is start to buy present months in advance.  This will spread the cost and it will not be as financially hard.  I have already started to buy  for some of my friends that on my list. I would advice you not to buy cartoon thing for kids months in advance because they tend to change often.

Rimmel london apocalips review

The new release of the Rimmel apocolips has taken the beauty bloggers by storm . As many others i couldn’t wait to get my hands on some. Unfortunately I only managed to pick up one shade which is big bang , This is a bright red shade that is very easy to apply .   I has the pigmentation of a lipstick but a lightweight feel of a lip gloss . The staying power is amazing as it last up to four hours . I went for a tea and a chat with a friend and didn’t have to reapply once !  I am impressed with the application and the lasting power . These retails at £5.99 in your local superdrug and i think it worth every penny  !

Thank you

MeMeMe nail varnish review

The brand MeMeMe is available at Superdrug and www.mememecosmetics.co.uk and is very affordable brand .I own two of the nail varnishes which I think are some of the best I own.  They retail at £5 each.

The consistency is very creamy and is quick drying  .  One coat of this nail varnish does the job because it gives a very opaque colour . The brush is a very wide one which make application much easier and it very handy if you are in a bit of a rush which I love.

          I have two shade of this nail varnish which is 78 Ambition and 81 Chic . Both colours has no shimmer . I do not use a base coat with either of them , it doesn’t stain  my nails even though that chic is a dark shade .Also both of the colours has a bit of a shine to them so  i do not  add a top coat .  It does last a few days with out a top cot but i would imagine that it would last a lot more if a top coat was applied .

          The colour 78 Ambition is a perfect nude colour . It it great if you want a natural colour to wear to work or school . It is also great because it that type of colour that goes with every thing so you don’t have to worry what you going to wear .

          The second colour i have is 81 chic . This is a mid tone brown . I would use this colour  for a casual day shopping or going out for dinner because it a classy brown colour .

          I would recommend this nail varnish to everyone they are the best . I think that i have to go repurchase the colour Ambition soon because i have been using it often in the last month or so .

Nail of the Day 6/12/12

The base cost is beth’s blue from models own

it is a lovely pale blue and you need only one or two coat and it is opaque

And the top coat is juicy jules again from models own

For this effect I put about 1 or 2 coat of the glitter to make sure I had enough.
