LUXE Couture Creme Lipstick by Avon Cosmetics | 'Pink Satin'

Product: LUXE Couture creme lipstick by Avon

Colour: Pink Satin

Product cost: £6.49

Where product was purchased: Avon Cosmetics

Product review: I really like the way this lipstick applies on to the lips. This lipstick feels really creamy.

The colour is full of shimmer and shine, but it is very light. I reckon this lipstick would look a lot better if used as the lighter shade in an ombre lip look. The colour is so light that if makes the lips look rather small. I ordered this out of a catalog and it looked  lot darker on the page, so I was obviously surprised with the light colour I found when the product arrived.

W7 Photo Shoot 16-hour Budge Proof Foundation | in 'Sand Beige'

Product: Photo shoot 16-hour budge proof foundation

Shade: Sand Beige

Purpose: A foundation to be applied to the face for a flawless finish that lasts for up to 16 hours. It won't transfer on to clothing.

Product cost: £2.99

Where the product was purchased: B&M Stores

Product review: Firstly, I really like how the bottle is actually made of glass. However, this bottle isn't a squirty bottle, meaning that you have to shake the bottle really well to get any product out of the bottle.

But this has been the first time I managed to purchase a foundation that fully matches my skin tone. I don't consider this a full coverage foundation but it covers everything evenly and naturally.

I would really recommend this foundation. It is long lasting, looks natural, it's cheap and super easy to apply once out of the bottle.

TIP: This foundation blends a lot more naturally if you use a beauty blender or make up sponge.

I give this product an 8 out of 10.

Pretty In Pink Eau De Parfum by Nuparfums

Product: Pretty in Pink Perfume (Eau de Parfum by Nuparfums)

Scent: Fresh and floral

Size: 100ml

Where product was purchased: Tesco

How much the product cost: £10.00

Product review: This perfume has such a perfect scent. The scent is floral and fresh, meaning that it is a little strong but not strong enough to make you feel sick if you put too much on.

This perfume stays on the skin and clothing for most of the day, which is great for someone who is always on the move.

NIVEA | Light Moisturising Day Cream for Normal & Combination Skin

Product: NIVEA Light Moisturising Day Cream

Purpose: Moisturises & protects for a fresh skin feeling. With Vitamin E & Hydra IQ

Type: Normal & Combination Skin

Size: 50ml

Where product was purchased: Superdrug

How much the product cost: £3.99

Product review: This product has been a huge help for my skin in the past 2 and a half months. I have opted out of using as many heavy duty moisturisers like I used to, as my skin felt like it needed a little bit of a rest. We all know that if you use heavy duty make up and skin products often, you eventually need a break in order to keep your skin and body healthy, The best way to do that is by replacing products included in your daily skin care routine with Nivea products.

My skin has been so much softer since I started using this cream as part of my daily skin routine. I apply it in the morning with all my other products and then again by itself before bed. I have found that my make up looks a lot more natural when I apply this cream to my face before applying my make up. My skin also now has that super healthy look to it, with or without make up, which is absolutely great.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. Even if you don't really have time to have a daily skin care routine, just applying this product to your face before bed makes such a difference.



TALIKA | Photo Hydra- Day

Product: TALIKA Photo Hydra-Day

Purpose: Face Specific Hydration

Size: 30ml

Where product was bought: Talika,com

How much the product cost: £30

Product review: This product is probably the best thing I have ever put on my face.

Lately, my face has turned into a combination of oily and dry skin. I have applied this product to my whole face many times in the past few months and I love the way it leaves my skin. It evens my skin out perfectly. The dry parts of my skin don't look or feel dry at all, even after applying heavy duty foundation.

I also love the fact that whenever I have applied this product, my face always has that healthy looking glow to it, with and without the application of make up.

Even though this product is a little pushy on the price, I can easily say that it is totally worth every penny. You don't have to apply a lot of it each time, which makes it last quite a long time.

GARNIER BB Cream in Light

Product: Garnier BB Cream

Type: Original Miracle Perfector

Shade: Light

Measurement: 50ml

Where was the product bought: Savers

How much did the product cost: £5.99

Product review: I absolutely love this product. It is super creamy and so light on the skin.

I have been using this product for the past 2 months instead of using my usual full coverage foundation. I can't say this product is full coverage because it really isn't, but I find that it really hydrates my skin well.

When you squeeze the product out of the bottle, it definitely looks much darker than what it is meant to be. Good news is that once you apply it to the face and spread it evenly, the color looks like what it is meant to look.

I also prefer to apply this product to my face using my fingers instead of a make brush or beauty blender because it looks a lot more natural that way.

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to lay off the full coverage foundations for a while. This product makes the skin look great and natural, which is a huge plus side.
