Maybelline SUPERSTAY BETTER SKIN FOUNDATION Review

Hi my Sweeties! 

Todays review is a little foundation i picked up a few weeks ago after receiving a small sample some time before. i was impressed by the sample i received but felt i needed longer to try the product out and see if it lives up to the things it states it does! The foundation states the vitamin enriched formula leaves skin looking healthier and renewed & also contains SPF 20

Of course being only 16 my skin doesn't really need to look renewed & my skin is quite healthy as it is (Lets keep it that way,touch wood!) However this foundation does leave me with a nice dewy look but NO GLITTER CHUNKS finally! i hate foundations that have those weird glittery chunks, it does not do justice to my skin! 

I Received my sample in 005 Light beige and this colour was a match made in HEAVEN! so i purchased the exact same colour in full and was not let down! Wearing it through the day i found it did not go patchy in any of the dry spots of my face which is a win, however it did seem to transfer a little even though it states its a non transfer foundation, Although this doesn't really bug me i find it a slight false advertisement. the coverage of this foundation is about medium and blends well with just your fingers but a brush finish is also great. 

If your looking for a decent foundation to last all day and you don't mind a little transfer i would recommend this product, however i do not think il be repurchasing as i have other foundations i truly love to much to let go. But for £8.99 from boots you cant got wrong and is perfect if your just starting out! :D

Have you guys tried this product yet? What are your thoughts, Comment below I will reply to all you beauties :)

Avon True Colour FIRST IMPRESSIONS

OMG WHAAAAT first review of the lovely month of June! or you could call this a first impressions? pick your fancy and put it in your pocket! SO onto the actual producty stuff i brought this a couple of weeks ago from my avon rep but kinda forgot about it in the back of my bag (ooh naughty) and found it again a few days ago when i decided to clean the pit of doom. i have no idea how much this was, i imagine it was around £7-8 but im not too sure. 

I Brought the colour palette 'Healthy Glow' and when i first swatched the eyeshadows the white/cream colour came through with alot more gold flecks than i first imagined. i was not disappointed i just didn't really expect this, however it is a very pretty colour. The other colour is more of a baked brown with also flecks of gold as an undertone. 

when i first tried the shadows the white was alot more pigmented than the brown, however i feel if you used these colours together you could get a very light, natural smokey eye. the texture is soft and quite fluffy like my other avon eyeshadows, anything other than this is really not expected from avon as there quality is very good for the price you pay. 

As you can see from the swatches the colours are very beautiful but i feel you could get colours the same from many other brands and very different prices. however if your an avon junkie like me i would definitely purchase this item just as it could be a very good everyday staple. 

If you already own this or are planning on trying it make sure to tell me in the comments ;3 

Have a fantastic day! Dottie xox

Collection Super Size Mascara Review!

Hello Beauties!

So today's review is going to be on something i have fallen in love with from the very first application, i picked up this mascara about a month ago as i had run out of my much loved Avon super shocked mascara. i do believe this mascara cost me about £2.99 from boots which is SUPER cheap compared to some hyped L'Oreal ones. 

One coat of mascara! :)

As you can tell from the photo above, it did add length but not as much volume, i did not expect there to be much volume as when a brand says its specially for lengthening, that's pretty much all its going to do. but personally i love this mascara considering its only £2.99 you cannot really go wrong.

Usually this stays on all day with no fallout and without having to re apply. 

The brush of this mascara is your basic applicator, but i did notice compared to other cheap brands it is considerably thicker and bigger in size. the mascara formula itself is yet to dry out and i have had this for about a month and a little bit, this gives me faith in collections mascaras and im definitely going to pick up more on my next trip to boots :)

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

Hi beauties! :)

So i thought it was time after 2 months of wearing this foundation nearly everyday to finally write a review! i picked this foundation up from my local boots for £5.99 on offer, the price instantly won me over, £5.99 for a foundation is pretty good in my opinion.

This foundation claims it lasts up to 25 hours, i don't stay up that long but while i have it on i have noticed it does not budge, i sometimes get shiny in my T zone, but that's expected as my T zone gets VERY oily even with my mac studio sculpt foundation. 

I brought this in the shade 100 Ivory and i have to say it matches my skin perfectly and requires very little blending to get an even color,this foundation would be great for beginners as you don't need to use a brush to get an even tone. The coverage of this foundation is a medium coverage as its not too sheer but also not full coverage as your still going to need some concealer :)

i would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a medium coverage foundation for everyday use, as its light and does not need topping up very often. its also pretty great for the price!

DIY Hair Mask For Dry And Damaged Hair!

Hi my beauties! 

I've been using this mask for a couple of months now as i dyed my hair blue, meaning i had to bleach it quite a few times before the dye would take! (blog post on my blue hair coming soon) after this i was left with the most dry and frizzy hair i could imagine so i decided to do a little research! 

You will need :

• 1 or 2 eggs (depending on your hair length) 
• 1 table spoon of egg mayo 
• 1 tea spoon of lemon juice (bottled or squeezed) 
• A few drops of olive oil

Mix all of these ingredients into a bowl, then apply to your hair & leave for about 30 - 40 minutes, massaging in every 10-15 minutes :) you can also wrap your hair in cling film or a shower cap to lock in heat or blast regularly with a hair dryer! once finished jump in the shower and wash with a gentle shampoo & condition!

i wouldn't recommend using a deep cleansing shampoo as this is going to strip the hair of all the goodness you have just applied, as cleansing shampoos are stronger than your everyday shampoo as it is meant to remove any residue of hair product. 

this mask is going to reduce frizz and also restore shine & protein to make your hair look glossy and new! :)

BC Classic Eyeshadows Palette Review

Ah the world of eyeshadows! 

Today im going to be reviewing a palette i picked up from my local bargain shop,i had never heard of this brand but my impressions so far are GREAT :D yay cheap makeup! this palette cost me around £2.59 and has a total of 8 everyday eyeshadows ranging from matte browns to subtle blues :D

The consistency of these shadows are super creamy! i love them, there really easy to blend and im sure you could achieve a smokey eye look with some of the beautiful blues! iv been really getting my wear out of these shadows as they have made their selves home in my everyday makeup bag,woot :) 

im sorry about the crappy photo, my camera don't do these colors justice, considering the price, i think these eyeshadows are great for anyone who is looking for a range of eyeshadows they can use for starting out, as you get a mix of all the colors you could possibly want!
