Estee Lauder- Double Wear Foundation

I have been hearing lot and lot about this foundation over the years that I have been watching YouTube videos so when I had some vouchers Christmas I knew what I wanted. In march of this year I bought it and I got the colour ivory nude that is a very close match to my skin but in my opinion a little bit too yellow. This isn't  noticeable with my powder on top .

To this exception this foundation is one of the best I have tried as yet . My skin type is normal combination . This is a medium to full coverage as it can be built up to the coverage you want . It is very long lasting even on my t zone where I tend to go a little oily from time to time  . So this is an ideal choice if I am about to have a long day at work .

I  use this with either my  fingers for a slightly lighter coverage or a real techniques expert face brush if I feel that I need that extra coverage . Both application is good and it doesn't cling to any patches that I might have .

It is one of the most expensive foundations that I have purchased so far and I would say that it is also the best and would recommend it to anyone . One thing that could be improved is that the bottle would have a pump as I put to much on sometimes .

£28.50 - 100ml available at Debenhams

clean and clear dual action moisturiser

I am fed up of  having to deal with spots breakouts . I have tried many products in the  past  to help get rid and prevent spots   but none of which I felt work as good as I wanted .   I was looking for a face moisturiser because I felt that I had some dry patches that my foundation clung to . When I was browsing the selection at my local super market the clean and clear moisturiser  took my fancy . Not only this would combat my dry skin  with out adding oils as it a oil free formula   I hoped that it would clear my skin .

I use this every  night and I feel that in the morning my skin is soft and free of any dry patches . If I have a problem area I would concentrate on having the cream on that spot . It helps reduce spots and it is a great  spot treatment .

At £3.49 you cant miss this beauty essential is widely available both in Superdrug and boots .

Heel Genius - Soap & Glory

It now coming to that time of the year again when you start wearing sandals and flip-flops and after the winter your feet  is not in the best condition. If this is the case for you this will be your life saver. It amazing.  I will put a thin layer all over and then put more on the dry cracked places like the heel and my big toe and put socks on and ill do this as i go to my bed. ill do this for about a week or two until my feet are nice and soft. Then i will do it once  a week then just to keep on top of things.



In my opinion it a bargain for £5.50  as it does a fantastic job.  You can buy this from boots and also from there online site.http://www.soapandglory.com/b

Review: Pantene clarifying shampoo

This is my number one shampoo. I don’t buy it all the time because I do not want my hair to get use to it and also it hard to find in the supermarket/drugstores that I use every week.

I love this one because it leaves my hair feeling clean and soft. And I like using it if I have use dry shampoo ect in my hair. Some times I shampoo my hair twice to make sure all of the build up is gone .  Because this shampoo claims to get rid of a build up of the products that you use on your hair and does not leave any residue. In my opinion it does it job brilliant and this is why I have bought it several time and every time I buy it  I think why did I go for so long without it in my life.  If I feel that my hair need a deep clean I use this and then shampoo my hair again with a different shampoo.

The only down side is that I fell that it strip you hair of moisture but with the right conditioner it fine. I use tresemme moisture rich. This makes my hair feel lovely and light.

 You can get your for about £4.69 from boots but some times is on offer.

Soap & Glory - Thick& Fast Mascara – Review

This mascara  is  a volume mascara and you can get hold of it on the soap & glory site or in most boots.  In my opinion is an OK mascara it does give the volume that it say it will but it a very dry formula.  One thing that is bad about it is the large brush  that make the application a little bit messy. You get a lot on the top lid while trying to apply to your eyelashes.  I also feel as it's a dry formula it can look a little bit clumpy.  I will not be getting it again on a hurry and this because for the price there are better one on the market.

It only come in black and it r.r.p is £10

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.
