Rimmel Review ! :)

Hi beauty lovers,

So before I get into the review I would like to mention where I brought these two products from.
http://www.asos.com/Women/Beauty/Cat/pgehtml.aspx?cid=1314&via=lhn



I purchased the Rimmel stay matte powder and the Rimmel Scandalous Kohl eyeliner in Nude.
At the time they were having a 30% of sale on all Rimmel this meaning I got both of these products for $10NZ and free shipping.
I cant express enough how cheap this is for both of these products in New Zealand it really was a bargain and it came to my door within a week. Check out there website for cheap make-up :)
I did purchase both of these products with my own money.





Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
004 Nude

These arrived at my door on Friday afternoon, perfect timing as I was going out that night so it was perfect to test them! I was worried that the colour would not be right as I have never tried this powder before and didn't know my colour but when I applied it, it was the perfect colour for me. Luckily haha. I wore the Stay Matte powder over the top of my Maybelline Photo Ready foundation and it literally did stay on all night. Now i have a combination skin my T zone is quite oily where as my cheeks and corners of the nose are quite dry. I was pleased that this powder did what it says it did and took away the oiliness off my zone but the thing that impressed me the most as it did not clump around my dry patches either. The finished look I loved and can now see all the hype that has been built up over this powder. Overall this is a bargain for what you pay for it and i would highly recommend it.

Scandalous Kohl Eye-liner

Nude

Now I have wanted a Nude eye-liner for a while now and as this one was so cheap I thought why not? I applied this too my water line as Nude eye-liner is supposed to make your eyes more bright and make them appear bigger. Did this product live up to my expectations? Yes and no. I can defiantly say it stayed on my water line most of the night which was something i really liked as eye-liner doesn't usually do that for me. Yes it did make my eyes appear brighter but i found the colour a little to orangey for my liking. If the colour wasn't so range I think I wouldn't have anything bad to say about this product. Its defiantly good value for money i would just not advise this product to people with quite fair skin as it can look quite orangey on the eyes.

I hope you liked this short review. If you guys have any products you would like me to review for you, or and tutorials just anything basically leave a comment and I will gladly get onto it for you guys :)

Hope you have a good rest of the day! Talk to you soon.

20 amazing beauty tips you need too know!

Hi beauty lovers,

So today i thought i would give you all some of my favourite beauty tips that work!
Try some out and let me know how it goes :)

1. Mix a tiny amount of tanning lotion in with your day cream to give your skin a radiant glow.

2. Best way to style curly hair? Apply a bit of conditioner while hair is still wet and twist it into big sections. This enhances natural curl and controls flyaways.

3. Eye shadow doesnt stay on long? Apply a cream shadow as a base, the slightly tacky texture will ensure that powders adhere better to your eyelid.

4. After you apply your lipstick, put your finger in your mouth and suck on it as you withdraw it. This gets rid of excess lipstick.

5. Favourite lipgloss is too sticky? Run an ice cube along your lips after applying, this should help dilute some of that gloop!

6. Greasy hair? For a quick fix you can use facial blotting papers on the hair. They will absorb the oil.

7. When applying foundation start at the centre of the face then blend out and down.

8. When selecting a foundation shade, test it on your chest rather than your face as this provides the best indicator of your true colouring.

9. Heat will cause a perfume to deteriate so store it in the fridge.

9. If you like a dewy foundation finish apply it with a sponge.

10.  Always blink into your mascara wand for extra curl.

11. To find the ideal blush shade for you, bend over for 30 seconds then see what colour your cheeks turn.

12. For the ultimate blow dry use a round natural bristly brush.

13. When using false lashes the golden rule is to always let the glue go tacky for 10-15 seconds before you apply the lashes.

14. For dehydrated skin, press a hot wet cloth gently on your face for a couple of minutes, follow with moisturiser.

15. When blow drying, insure hair is totally dry before styling, otherwise it wont hold for long.

16. If you need to clean up eyeshadow fallout, do it with a fan brush.

17. You can use perfume on a cotton bud to remove hair dye from around the hairline.

18. To prevent folish from chipping, seal each coat by brushing the tip of the nail.

19. Pop on a shower cap for five minutes to help maximise the effectivness of conditioning products. Then rinse out.

20. Between testing fragrances sniff the inside of your elbow as this area is odour neutral.

So thats 20 tips for you guys, i hope you enjoyed this post :)
Talk too you soon

Reviews, Brushes, BB Cream and Lippie !!

Hi Beauty Lovers,

I'm back and thought id give you guys a post about my thoughts on a few items I've purchased over the past week.

The first items I purchased where two brushes a angled blush brush, and a flat top. I purchased these two brushes off costalcents.com. If your looking for cheap quality make-up and brushes I would defiantly check out this website, and they ship worldwide so everyone can have the pleasure of shopping there :)

These are the two brushes I purchased:

My honest opinion of these brushes? I absolutely love them! There sturdy, they apply make-up evenly and I've experienced none of the single brush hairs falling out which is a massive plus for me when buying new brushes. Who wants hairs in there make-up right?

I purchased these brushes off the website above with my own money, and together they came to $6 (New Zealand Currency) for me that was an absolute bargain. Getting good brushes in New Zealand is very hard as shipping always costs so much. I would highly recommend these brushes and would love to try out the sets they have as well.


The next product i purchased was the Lioele BB cream. I purchased this off the website hikosencara-nz.com

I think i purchased this for around $34 ( New Zealand Currency) which was a bit pricey for a BB cream but from all the raves id heard about this product I had to buy it and test it out for myself. Well I can now say it is worth every scent. This product is amazing ! I've been using it over the past week and it has made my skin feel and look so much better. It gives enough coverage to be able to wear it as your main foundation, it moisturises your skin and it gives a dewy hydrated finish. Overall I am so glad I bought this product and can say I will defiantly be re purchasing it in the future.

And the last product I picked up over the last week was a Maybelline colour essential lipstick in Rosy Dream, I just picked this up from my local drug store and it was around $20 ( New Zealand Currency)

I badly needed a nude pink lipstick so when I went into the shop and found this one I purchased it straight away, but now after testing it out I can say I don't think it is worth what I paid for and is my least favourite product out of all the things I purchased. Its a beautiful colour when swatched on my hand, the perfect colour really. But when applied to my lips it didn't look good at all. It came off so easily and looked patchy on my lips. I was so disappointed with this product, I would love to hear if anyone else has tried it and what you think about it ?

I Hope everyone is having a fabulous week, update you soon
