Review: rimmel stay matte powder!

hey everyone! firstly, if you saw this post up about an hour ago and clicked on it and there was only the pictures up sorry about that i was in the middle of writing this post id just uploaded these pictures and i have to go out i came back to realise i had published my half done review!! :o so sorry if that had you confused but its here now the full review!....

i got this powder simply because of the huge hype around it in the bbloger community and i was curious to see what everyone was so excited about and at first i have to say i wasnt sure about this powder i have combination skin and my under eye area is quite dry so when i put this powder on for the first time i notice the powder caking with the concealer i have on

i know it is powder and its job is to dry your skin but i just didnt like the look of that at all!

however, after a few weeks of avoiding it i decided to give it another change! and was very careful around my under eye makeing sure i had blended it well and i had absolutly no problem with it  i like the finish it gives and i had no shine all day!

id say im definaty joining the beauty bloggers raving about powder because since i started using it i havent stopped! id say its about a medium coverage unless ofcourse you get the transparent one and id say it last up to a good 6-7 hours because i have been wearing it to school everyday and it has kept my makeup looking the same all day!

the only think i would say is if you have dry skin this probably wont be for you, but to be honest if your skins really dry i dont think you need a powder at all! i hope you found this review really helfull

heres a picture of me wearing the powder...(dont know why its sideways!!)

hope you enjoyed!! love you <3

August Favourites!! 2012

 

Hey everyone! this is my 2012 August favourites!

 

Dove Summer glow moisturiser.

ive really been loving this moisturiser this month! it has a subtle tan in it which really does give you a summer glow, i dont use this everyday because although it says "subtle" i notice a bit difference after using it twice and it lasts for about 4 days before it fades so i only use it 2-3 times a week so it will last a long time!

i also feel alot better using this that fake tan because using this you can build it up and stop using it when you are happy but with fake tan you only use it once and hope it looks okay and time and time again it goes horribly wrong and i end up looking like a walking carrot! you can also get a shimmered version. it retails for around £5.50 i cant remember exactly.

Stila tinted moisturiser.

next is another moisturiser. if you have been reading my blog lately you will notice i have been a little obsessed with emma stone and i have done 2 inspired tutorials of her, i have used this in these and also in my back to school makeup its so natural but has pretty good coverage for a moisturiser.

burt's bees beeswax lip balm.

this is the beast lipbalm i have ever tried it has replaced my carmex in my make up bag! it is so refreshing and cooling and stays on for ages! it is quite expensive for a lip balm at £3.60 but for me it is so worth it i cant wait to carry this around in my blazer for school!

collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer.

this product has been hyped soo much in the bloggersphere and now i know why! i only got it about 2 weeks ago but i havent used anything else since it is amazing! it is pretty full coverage but it doesnt look thick and cakey it actually lookes really natural and it is really easy to blend.

rimmel kate moss lipstick shade "12"

this has been my go to lipstick this summer it is a coraly red and just gorgeous i have been applying a little bit and blending it out so it looks a bit less dramatic because i think at my age a bright red lip can look a bit too much but i love this one to add a bit of colour!

girlz only dry shampoo.

this dry shampoo i havent heard anyone else talking about and i found it completely accidentally i have always used batiste but never was to impressed with it.my mum picked this up for me at tescos because it was on offer and i have repurchased it. it just works so well my hair hair looks fresh but it also feels really fresh and just washed which i love!

next a completely non beauty favourite now i have been loving pretty little liars! lots of people had recommended i watch it and i finally did i have finished season 1 in 3 days!! its just so additive! its a bit like 90210, one tree hill, secret life etc. but it has a bit of a dark side to it aswell like its all about murder and blackmail which i love i think that makes it way more gripping and just better!  :~)

and if you have seen it DONT TELL ME WHO A IS!! :)

hope you enjoyed my favourites!
