Product Spotlight : MaxFactor 3 in 1 Foundation

Well hello there...(I feel like this is becoming a theme)
Today's blog is all about the MaxFactor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation... that is quite a mouthful - that's what she said.
Anyway, I wanted to do another blog on a singular product so quickly after the first because I couldn't hold it in. I am absolutely,  completely and totally in love with this foundation. It has changed my life, kinda like how the internet did...
Im going to start with the basics, the price of this is £11.99 but Boots and Superdrug always have an offer on. I do think it is very expensive but it is really worth it.
When I use it, it glides over my face and creates an even coverage, with none of those weird orange patches?!?

This product 'claims' to be a primer, foundation and concealer all in one. I agree with this - to an extent, let me explain...
It stays on all day so I agree with the primer.
It makes your face even and makes it all look the same...seems to be a foundation.
But, what I will say is it doesn't conceal.
It has a medium to full coverage, but if you have blemishes it doesn't really cover them. It covers the majority but not really pesky things.
I don't think this is a bad thing because you don't want a foundation that is so high coverage it gets rid of everything, you just leave that to concealer.
I love the staying power, the silky smooth feel and the coverage. It os perfect for me and by the looks of people on the internet who have tried it, so do they!!

Oh and in case you were wondering I wear the colour Light Ivory 40, and yes that is the lightest shade. I have insanely pale skin and this is the lightes foundation from the drugstore I have used so that's a plus as well :)

You knew this was coming...

Apocalips Review! ♥

Well hello there!!!!!!! (Too many Jess)
Today's blog is going to me talking about  a product (well three) that I reallly love :) Rimmel Apocalips if that wasn't clear already. So on with the review...
First up is the three colours 'Nova'(pink), 'Big Bang'(red) and 'Luna'(orange), those names are sooo cute, I love the way they are all space themed.
Now, all of them are highly pigmented, I can bet that the colour they look on the container is exactly the same as the colour that comes out on the lips, and not just the ones that I own.
They are a liquid lipstick with a slight stain to them - the little multitasking devils. They dry to a satin finish, with a slight shine and stay on for 6+ hours (perfect for school).
The packaging is divine, it shows the colour and the 'handle' -don't know if that's what it's called- has detail at the top, which makes it look more expensive. They actually retail at £5.99, what a bargain...bucket!!
The only thing I don't like about them is the smell, personally I don't enjoy it. At all. I wouldn't be able to describe it specifically, I think it's just one of those products doesn't smell too good, for me. But I can get past the smell in order to wear them.

So overall I will give them (drum roll please)...
