Fenty Beauty Foundation Review

Hey Guys,

As you all know, Rihanna's launched Fenty Beauty. 
I couldn't help but pick up some products from my all time fave celeb! She's launched so many products, I was in awe. I know everyone online has been reviewing her products and saying good things but I had to try this out for myself. I am a foundation girl, base is everything for me. So 100% I checked the foundation straight away. The colour that I used (and bought) is 300 this was F L A W L E S S ! Not even joking. So blendable and lightweight on your skin. Such a natural finish but it's buildable if you want fuller coverage. It's a soft matte foundation so it feels "Light as Air". I've been loving natural looks I.e. Light foundation, concealer, mascara, natural contour and lips. That's me done. This Pro Filt'r Longwear Foundation has made my everyday makeup look much more natural. The foundation costs £26. Definitely a 10/10 all rounder!

I also tried out the highlighter Trophy Wife - that was something else! I was SHINING! But it's not something that I can wear everyday. For parties, weddings etc it would definitely compliment the Asian dresses I wear. But it won't be part of my everyday natural look that I usually go for. As you can see in the picture above, the highlight is poppin', I deffo will recommend this highlight to the girls who are looking for a highlight with great pigmentation. This highlight has much more of a yellow tone rather than the champagne gold that I usually go for. The highlighter costs £26.

Comment below if you've tried it and what you think. More pictures will be on my Instagram

Hope you guys enjoyed this review! More to come

Pick Me Up Products

Hello Guys,

I needed some retail therapy recently and it always helps when makeup is involved. I just picked up some products that I was running out of and thought I would recommend some of the stuff to you guys.

Firstly, lets start with basics. You guys know how i'm obsessed with L'Oreal products. I got the L'Oreal Infallible Fixing Mist which is basically a setting spray which sets makeup! This product is definitely 10/10 for me, I've gone through two bottles now! I use it after I apply my concealer and then once more before highlight. No wonder why i'm rinsing the bottle.

I also got the L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base which is a primer. I prep n' prime my face before putting any makeup and after moisturizing my face (skin routine post coming soon). I have heard so many reviews on the primer and i'll give this a high 7/10 for this. I'm still getting used to changing my primer from BarryM to L'Oreal.

In Boots, L'Oreal had 3 for 2 on all their products. So I thought I should give one of their new mascaras a go. I got the L'Oreal miss Hippie Mascara and it has such a thick brush. I think i'll give this product a 6/10 because it is £6.99 on its own and my lashes look lengthy but not too voluminous. I don't mind having products like this because when you're rushing for work, you just need to put anything on quickly. Good makeup tip when you're in a rush - mascara, concealer and some good nude lip gloss; easy combo.

And of course there's NYX in Boots now. So, as it's Summer, I needed some more colour! The NYX Vivid Brights Eyeliner! I literally just picked up the brightest colours I could. I can't wait to show you guys the looks I have created using this. 9/10 the pigment and colour is so vibrant. 1 point deducted because it is a bit watery.

My next purchase was the NYX Eyebrow Gel - OMG seriously guys please invest your £5.50 on this product. This literally has changed my eyebrow game, so pigmented! 10/10

Finally, best till last. I casj went to the perfume aisle. Got myself YSL Mon Paris perfume. It smells so fresh, very fruity and sweet. I'm really not into sweet perfumes but I love this smell, the fruity smell overcomes the sweet. 

Thanks for reading guys. You'll see the pictures soon with these products on my Instagram.

Affordable Makeup Look & Swatches!!

Hello Girls J

Everyone I’ve asked so far wants an ‘affordable’ makeup look from top to toe (well just for your face but you get the gist). I was quite happy at reviewing some of the products that I use every day because they’re genuinely quite good. There are so many looks that you can create by using these affordable brands. 

Yes, I can admit that I do have expensive makeup and some products do work better than the more affordable brands. But the ones I have reviewed below, I use on an everyday basis. I have hand-picked the best ones that I know are extremely affordable and will give a lasting impression. The products will be linked below for you all. And you'll get to see swatches of some products too! 

FACE

PRIMER

Barry M Flawless Brightening Primer > £5.99

-       For dull skin

-       Pore minimising

-       Smoothing

-       Mattifying

-       Oil-free smoothing serum

-       Use on clean skin BEFORE foundation

This primer is so good when applied and it makes my skin ready for foundation. I can’t justify the brightening part but it does give the lightweight feeling. I always use this primer before expensive or affordable foundation because it does the trick. I would definitely recommend this – it lasts around 3-4 months for me as I don’t really wear makeup every day. The product does have a pump so it’s very easy to use.

FOUNDATION

Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation > £5.99

-       For normal to oily skin

-       Matte and poreless

-       Natural seamless finish

-       Matches skin tone and texture

I am in love with this foundation! I don’t like it when people always underestimate drug store products because some of them do shine! I understand that some people have luxury favourites (I do too) but this Maybelline Fit Me foundation is perfect! It gives full coverage and a great finish too! My skin type is normal but can be oily but this foundation settles in so well. I have got the colour 220 – even though it does describe the product as matte, it does not fully mattify the skin so you won’t get the ‘cake’ look. Definitely recommend to use a damp beauty blender when applying onto your face. The product does not have a pump so you just have to squeeze it out.

CONCEALER

L.A. Girl PRO Concealer > £4.99

-       HD concealer

-       Smooth finish

This has to be the most raved drug store concealer ever! But I completely understand why, it is my favourite!! I use to use the Maybelline Anti-Age Concealer but I just don’t enjoy using that anymore because it dries to quickly when applied. But this L.A. Concealer is perfect and ranges in so many colours and shades. It even has colour correctors in the same bottle (I’ve got the green one!) the product has a brush on the tip for easy application. There is literally no mess, all you do is squeeze the product and directly apply to your face. I recommend blending the product in with a damp beauty blender. The texture is really creamy and easy to blend – I bought two of these in a light and dark shade (contour purposes). The colours I have brought are Medium Beige and Chestnut.

CONTOURING PALLETTE

Sleek Contouring & Blush Palette > £9.99

-       Matte

-       Easy to blend contour powder

-       Illuminating highlighter

This is a bargain! 3 in 1 for what… £10!! I actually bought it for much cheaper because I’m obsessed over Boots Advantage Card Coupons. I think it was like 20% or something. But the colours are so pigmented and vibrant. It actually doesn’t fade like the other contouring palettes I’ve used. The dark shade is perfect for contouring your nose and cheekbones especially after you’ve used the L.A. Girl Concealer (in the darker shade) to set your contour. That’s what I do, just to emphasise my contour just that extra mile. The blusher is literally poppin’, it has so much glow! I’ve always used matte blushers so this glowy one is perfect. It actually suits my skin tone and I love how it accentuates my face structure. So… the highlighter is amazing! It's so pigmented and instantly appears onto the skin! The colour of the palette I purchased is in Light 373.

EYES

EYESHADOW

Makeup Revolution Ultra Eyeshadow Palette > £8.00

-      Flawless matte eyeshadow

-      Highly pigmented

-      Easy to blend

This eyeshadow palette has 32 colours and all colours are vibrant for all skin tones! It’s a bargain and the meaning of affordable. Literally you can use all of these colours for daytime, night out, work, school, college looks! The palette colour I purchased is in Flawless Matte. The colours that I recommend to use for an every day look is Warm, Rust and Wood. These peachy colours go with the current trend at the moment. I like using a dark colour for the eyelid just to make the eyes pop whilst having the pinks on the crease.

EYELINER

Collection 2000 Liquid Eyeliner > £2.99

-       Easy application

-       Lasting finish

I’ve used this eyeliner since the age of 13! This is an all-time favourite and classic. If every 90s girl isn’t with me on this one then I don’t know what you guys have been using… No, but really cheap, affordable and super classic = perfection. 

MASCARA

L’Oréal Volume Million Lashes > £9.99

-       New brush with anti-clump wiper

-       Instant dramatic eyes

This may look slightly expensive for mascara but trust me this is an investment. Just really puts your whole look together. I honestly always recommend this mascara to everyone I know. You only need one or two coats for a normal work look but if you really want those lengthy lashes then double up them coats because you will really get intensified dramatic lashes.

 

BROW POMADE

NYX Tame & Frame Tinted Brow Pomade > £5.50

-      Smooth, blend-able product

-      Smudge-proof

I got this as a present – and this is best present I’ve received. I never really used pomades but I’ve seen reviews where people are comparing it to Anastasia Beverly Hills’ pomades so that just says it all. I love all of NYX’s products so much, so affordable for girls who want to get with the latest trends on a budget! The colour pomade I have is in Black 05.

BROW GEL

L’Oréal Brow Plumper > £5.99

-      Makes brows look fuller

-      Intensifies brows

This product just cleans your eyebrow look after you've applied pomade and acts like a 2 in 1 gel and tint. I love it! The product is bigger than all other brow gels – gives more bang for your buck, literally. The colour that I purchased this in is Medium/Dark.

LIPS

LIP LINER

Collection 2000 Lip Liner > £2.79

-      Precision colour

-      Glides smoothly

-      Non-smudge

Now, some people don’t like using lip liner and I was this person but not anymore. I have to use lip liner now or else I feel as if my lips don’t look as fuller. This lip liner is so cheap; I should have got some more in a couple more colours – oh well get that done in my next makeup shopping trip. The colour that I have used is called Paprika. Also, Kiko have a lot of lip liners in various colours under £3.

LIPSTICK

KIKO Lipstick - £1.90

-      Silky texture

-      Smooth-gliding quality

-      Easy to apply

I couldn’t help myself but buy all these lipsticks when I saw them on sale for less than £2, they’re usually around £5! I still think you can buy these lipsticks at this price (just click the link above), definitely recommend using this product when you’re trying to build your makeup collection. Also, you can use this product in all types of weather. It’s not matte but gives a slight shine. The colour that I purchased is in Rosewood.
