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.

Lanolips Lip Ointment with Colour | Rhubarb
Product: Lip ointment with colour (Rhubarb) by Lanolips
Benefits: Contains over 60% ultra pure grade lanolin. Lanolips is nature's wonder moisturizer. Against animal testing.
Warning: Ointment may pull away from the sides. This is normal and indicates the richness of the product.
Size: 12.5g
Price: £7.99
Where product was purchased: Boots stores
Product review: I really like the scent that has been added to this product. It is very sweet and fresh.
The package doesn't actually seem to come full of the product, which is quite disappointing. It is also super difficult to squeeze the product out of the product.
However, I find that this product stains the lips for a very long time, which is definitely a good thing. This product also really moisturizes the lips, which is one of the aims of the product.
A huge plus to this product is that it has been dermatologically tested and is against animal testing.
I give this product a 6 out of 10.

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.

Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss by Avon Cosmetics | in Plum Pretty
Product: Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss-6ml by AVON
Colour: Plum Pretty
Product cost: £3.50
Where product was purchased: Avon Cosmetics
Product review: I really like the colour of this lip gloss. However, it is very difficult to apply evenly. The lips always end up looking very patchy. To experiment, I applied this lip gloss on top of concealer/primer and the lip gloss still appears to look patchy in colour.
This lip gloss is also very sticky, the lips literally were constantly sticking together when I spoke.
If it wasn't for the patchiness and constant stickiness, I reckon this lip gloss would be great.
I rate this product a 4 out of 10.

Naturalites False Lashes | Eylure
Product name: Naturalites Flase Lashes
Purpose: Sweet and subtle strip lashes
Where product was purchased: Eylure
How much did the product cost: £4.99
Product review: I love using lashes when I go to an event, they always add that something extra to the make up no matter what it looks like.
I was very impressed with these false lashes. Every set of false lashes I have ever purchased has always made my eyes feel super heavy after application, irritate the eyes and never look natural. These lashes don't only look super natural, but they also feel super light on the eyes. The glue that comes with these lashes also dries super fast and makes the lashes stay on the eyes all day/evening.
I also love that these lashes are reusable. I will definitely be using a lot more of these in the future. Definitely my favorite lashes of all time.

W7 Butter Kiss Lipstick | Very Berry
Product: W7 Butter Kiss Lipstick
Color: Very Berry
Where product was purchased: W7 Cosmetics
How much did the product cost: £4.50
Product review: The name matches the lipstick perfectly. This lipstick literally applies on to the lips like butter. It is super soft and leaves the lips silky smooth.
The color is extremely vibrant and shiny. I prefer my lipstick to be matte but you can do this by simply applying translucent powder to your lips after applying the lipstick, so it isn't a huge problem.
The only negative side I can see to this lipstick is that due to the fact it feels so similar to butter, it comes off the lips very easily and only leaves a very slight stain. I would definitely advice you to set your lipstick when using this lipstick for a night out or party/event where you may not get the chance to "touch up" as often.

Miss Sporty - Pump Up Booster Mascara
Product: Miss Sporty - Pump Up Booster Mascara
Color: Black
Where product was bought: Superdrug
How much did the product cost: £3.99
Product review: This mascara has to be the mascara I use on a daily basis.
I love how this mascara makes my lashes look so much longer and curled. This is great because I hate using lash curlers so this mascara does the trick perfectly.
The only thing I don't like about this mascara is that the brush is quite wide and large, which means I always end up getting some on my eyelid and am also unable to successfully apply this to my lower lashes.
But on a plus note, this mascara does not cause little clamps to form on to the lashes. I love this because I find it rather difficult to find a good mascara that doesn't.

GARNIER BB Cream in Light
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.
