Summers makeup review

Hi it's Summer here,

So this week I was stuck on ideas of what to do, so I thought about what I had bought in the past week or two. So here it is, I'm going to write a review post.


First things first: Bare Minerals!!

One of my recent purchases was Bare Minerals newest product: Complexion Rescue.
Complexion rescue is what the title says it is, it is to help the skin to become healthier, smoother and more hydrated. It is a tinted hydrating cream, so it has the perk of helping your skin and giving coverage like a foundation would. The benefit with this tinted hydrator is that it is only a light coverage, so it isn't thick and clumpy on the skin. It feels smooth and silky on the skin. Another benefit of this product is that it also helps powder to stay on without the trouble of other applicants.

The idea of this product is that it does two things at the same time. The woman who was serving me in the shop said I would notice a difference in my skin within 2-3 days. Now usually when someone says this to me I shrug it off and think to myself "Yeah right!" However, these lady was completely right!! I noticed a significant difference in my skin straight after a couple of days using the complexion rescue everyday. I use mine as a foundation as I have dry skin and Bare Minerals has only natural ingredients. in it Which is why it makes it so expensive! The shade that I have is called 'Vanilla'. This is because I have impeccably fair, pale skin, 'Vanilla' is the second lightest shade in the collection. These are the shades they have (lightest to darkest):
  • Opal
  • Vanilla
  • Buttercream
  • Suede
  • Natural
  • Ginger
  • Tan
  • Spice
  • Chestnut
  • Sienna
I would definitely recommend this product as it is suitable for maybe people and has a great feel on the skin during coverage and afterwards as well. Not only does it come in a variety of different shades, but it is also a multi-purpose product and is an amazing rescue remedy for dry skin!! The complexion rescue costs £26 for 35ml. I know this sounds like a lot and yes it does added up to 74p per ml but it is so worth it, as it lasts for longer than a normal foundation/ base layer. Plus who can go wrong with a product that does two things at once, is extremely easy to put on and feels so amazing to wear!!


My second product review goes to Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in the shade: Light.

This has got to be one of the products I use everyday. I use it as a concealer underneath my eyes to cover up my dark circles I seem to constantly have! No matter how much sleep I do or do not get, I still seem to have dark circles underneath my eyes. I've come to the conclusion that they aren't going away anytime soon! Therefor, I knew I had to purchase a concealer or a BB cream. I searched and searched for the best cream and finally made my decision to go with Rimmel's matte BB cream. It comes in three shades: Light, Medium and Medium/Dark. The light shade is suited for those with fair, pale, delicate skin. Medium is for those with deeper tones, such as olive skinned and tanned. Medium/ Dark is for those with deeper and darker skin colours.

If Rimmel were to improve this product I would say that the most effective way to do this would be to increase the amount of shades they have. Although they are suited for the majority, there are still different shades that would compliment a lot of other peoples skin more effectively.

Overall I have to say that I am very impressed with the level of quality Rimmel has provided with this product. It has helped me through the tiresome days that are frequently occurring and the up beat eventful days. I suppose what I am trying to say is that it is suitable for any occasion, whether it be school, work, a meal out or just a shopping trip. I would defiantly recommend it with full confidence and unlike the Bare Minerals product I just showed you, this product is only £6.99 for 30ml, which works out to a total of 23p per ml.



My third product review goes to Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in Jet Black.

This product I don't use as much as the other two I have done a review on, but saying that I do use it often, whether it is for dramatic eye makeup or just for a small fine line of jet black eye makeup. I'm a girl that absolutely adores her makeup (if you hadn't figured that out yet) but eyeliner is one of my most favourite types of makeup by far!

I quite like to experiment with new, different eye makeup to everyone else. I like to be different and unique and don't tend to stick with the usual 'go to' trends the majority of the time.

Rimmel's Scandaleyes Eyeliner has to be one of the best eye makeup purchases I have ever made, it is easy to use for thick lines, thin lines and fine details also. I find that eyeliner and bold eye makeup makes you feel more confident about yourself and brings out a different personality that you never thought you had (at least it does for me anyway). Sometimes I add eye shadow to complete the look, but the majority of the time I tend to go for a more natural eye underneath the eyeliner.

Overall I think that this product is a must for every girl/ woman's makeup draw. It is handy to use for any sort of event, such as an evening out, shopping or everyday wear. It adds definition to the eyes and does a great advantage to blue and green eyes as it helps to pop their colour more. Scandaleyes costs £5.49 for a small thin tube and you can get it in two different tips, a pointer and a slanted tip.

All together I would definatly recommend these products as they are perfect things for an girls makeup shelf! They aren't too expensive for what you get and are extremely reliable!

Thats all from me for this week, keep up the views! I love you guys!

Love
Summer

Random questions by Summer

Hi guys, It' Summer here! So its a long time since I last posted. You can blame AS level exams for that one! Revision has been a big element of my life recently, along with work, so I have literally had no time at all to post- and any time I haven't been revising I've been sleeping!

For this post I am going to do a random question post, just to get back into the Blog thing again (I promise, my posts will get better!)


1) What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you do not love them back?
This is a hard one, I think that would depend on whether I had liked the person before or not. Although, saying that I do believe that personally saying that I do not like someone back is so much harder as I hate hurting peoples feelings (not to say that I haven't done it). I think that telling someone you love them shouldn't be thought out, it should just happen- it should slip out accidentally if it is real love.

2) What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up on?
For me, I'm going to be really cheesy and say love. I went through what was a hard break-up for me with my ex. I didn't want to give up as I really saw potential to grow there but he just had his mind set, so trying to convince him was like trying to feed a vegetarian meat!!

3) Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying?
Of course I would!! I'm training to be a Lifeguard right now actually, I'm on my 5th year of training. A life is a life! Save it!

4) What makes you bored?
Boring personalities (dull people) and coursework!!!

5) Which is your favourite four legged creature and why?
A Meerkat! Why...? Hmmm, it just always has been since I visited a zoo for the first time...

6) Do you like spicy food?
Hell no!!! Feed me spicy food and I will kill you!!

7) Are you old fashioned?
I loveeee older era clothes! 1950's!! I love, I think I sort of am, I would go back in time if I could.

8) Something or someone you miss the most from childhood?
The good episodes of the Tweenies...

9) Are you usually late, early or right on time?
Late.... Fashionably late of course.

10) Are you happy with your life for the most part right now?
Yes, I have no dicks in my life right now and I love everyone I have around me and the support I get is fantastic!

11) You can have one of the following two things: trust/ love?
Trust- I would rather have trust in everyone rather than love. I believe that trust is more important and for love to work there should be trust incorporated in it anyway.

12) Tell me about your favourite book, magazine or comic?
I don't really have the time to read at the minute, although I did start to read two books a while ago: Divergent by Veronica Roth and Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo.

13) Tell me about someone you envy?
I'm not envious of anyone in particular, just people that get everything given to them whenever they want it.

14) Tell me about something you've achieved?
Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. Doing Gold now.

15) Tell me about the worst punishment you had when you were a child?
I had my toys taken away- all of the time. Nowadays young kids have phones instead of toys...

16) Do you like chocolate?
What sort of question is this??? Is this question for a human!?!? Who doesn't like chocolate?

17) Do you like rainy days or snowy winter days more?
It honestly depends on my mood. If I'm grumpy I suggest you just leave me alone and presume I don't like any weather.

18) Name 3 things in nature you find most beautiful.
Open air (fields), butterflies and flowers.

19) Which are your 2 favourite careers and why?
Fashion designer and interior designer.

20) Which is the hardest thing you ever had to do?
Leave my family for 4 weeks whilst I went to Ecuador to help the less fortunate.

21) When was the last time you lied and to whom and why?
Last night, to my friend. I told him I only just got back from work when I had been back for 45 minutes...

22) Tell me about something you really regret?
Decisions I made a while ago on holiday to do with two people I liked.

23) What scares you the most and why?
Horror movies/ programmes... The suspense and idea of objects scaring you rather than actors. What's not there scares me more than what's there.

24) What do you do in your free time?
That depends, I don't have much free time at the minute because of exams. To sooth me and calm me I do colouring to relax myself. I like watching films as well.

25) Which is your favourite part of the human face and why?
Eyes... they can seduce the hell out of you!!!

26) Which is your favourite part of the human body and why?
Girls: Legs... I think that legs can be a powerful tool, but only on girls.
Boys: Arms... But they have to be muscly!

27) Tell me about a mistake you made?
There are too many... haha

28) If you could do anything OR wish for anything that would come true, what would you wish?
People to act their age, not their shoe size, ha.
