Hey guys, got a review for you today, and it's from one of my favourite brands, I love so many of Rimmel's products, ( including their stay matte powder which I know many others love) and now their moisture renew lipstick is a firm favourite.

Unfortunately the shade I'm reviewing here is no longer sold, I bought this one on fragrance direct many many months ago but I will link 2 other similar shades from the range at the end of this post.



This lipstick glides on like a beauty! It's very opaque, I use about 2 layers for full colour, and it's just beautiful. As well as good coverage it has great staying power, this lasts at least 3 hours without eating or drinking.

Shades similar :  Rose Passion  and Diva Red


I need to buy some more of these now :)

~~ Do you own any shades of these? and what do you think of them :)






Just a quick "FOTD" post for you. :)

I recently rediscovered my Calvin Klein eyeshadow pair, and have been using it quite a bit recently, I made a nice girly pink look with this, the lighter colour makes a nice inner corner highlight and I used the darker in my crease and outer corner :) 
Products used:
•Rimmel Match perfect foundation
•Royal Bronzer
•collection eye palette 
•Rimmel stay matte powder
•Rimmel wake me up concealer
•maybelline falsies mascara - blacker black
•Sleek contour kit
•collection eyeliner
•real techniques buffing brush & Blusher brush
•Royal eyeshadow
Brushes
Since I discovered fragrance direct about a month ago, I have become obsessed, the pricing, delivery time etc. if you didn't know, Fragrance direct is a website that sells fragrances and beauty products, very cheaply! They can do this because there's no "middle man" they sell it straight from the manufacturers. 
So on with the haul..
Left to right- NYC Matte me crazy, Revlon Charasmatic, Revlon Cloud, Essie Bond with whomever, Rimmel Princess Pink and NYC matte me crazy again. 
4 of these are presents, so only 2 are mine and that explains why I have 2 of matte me crazy haha. 
I've wanted a pastel purple for a long time and I couldn't help but "slip" this in the basket when I saw the essie one! I've also wanted a Matte top coat for a while since the Rimmel one came out but they stopped selling it in store, so saw this and got it too. 
A lot of people are obsessed with lipsticks but I like to focus more on my eyes, and I don't own any blending brushes or an angled one! I've already got a royal eyeshadow brush which is pretty good so thought is give these a try. 
Finally I got a Rimmel moisture renew lipstick as I've heard good things about these and I got it in the colour "Berry Queen". 

P.S if you use the code 206VC you get an extra 5% off. 

Have you bought anything from fragrance direct before?



 
This is my first monthly faves - bare with me!
Mua eyeshadow palette - Undressed. 
•I only recently bought this and have only
Used it Once! But I already love it, they are very pigmented and have such pretty colours :) 

Essie "bikini so teeny"
•This colour is so pretty! Blue is one
Of my favourite colours and pastels are very popular now so this is perfect. I did a previous post of this on my nails so feel free to check it out :)
Benefits "they're real" mascara. 
• I have a massive love hate relationship with this mascara, I hate it because the plastic wand is harsh on my eyes and goes so so clumpy! But I love it because it lengthens my lashes unlike any other mascara I've tried. 

Rimmel stay matte powder. 
• I use this every day and is generally a good powder. 
Natural collection bronzer
•I bought this a longgg time ago and tried to venture away from it untill I rediscovered it recently and fallen back in love, it's a pinky bronzer with a bit of shimmer. 
Rimmel wake me up concealer:
•just a standard concealer, this is great under my eyes. 
Collection eye definite liquid eyeliner. 
•recently been venturing into winged eyeliner and I've been using this, it's good but the staying time isn't very good. 
Sleek contour kit. 
•I loovvee this! I use the highlighter more than the contour and it's amazing. 
Bodyshop Teatree face lotion. 
•I bought this during the 40% off sale online (which is still going - use code EXTRATREAT) and it seems to be working. It's supposed to clear up your skin and I think it has made a bit of a difference, it's also a nice moisturiser too. 

So these are just a few of my favourite things in June, what products/music/food have you been loving? 




Bit behind with this.. But oh well haha :) (again) I've never done a favourites post before but I thought it would be a nice in depth post to start off with. 
1) Real techniques brushes:
Here are the buffing brush and the contour brush, I love these soo much they are amazing, the buffing brush really works foundation into your skin giving a natural look. The powder brush is equally as good and is a nice little size, I use it to put powder under my eyes, for blusher,contouring and highlighting- so multipurpose !
2) Rimmel wake me up concealer:
 I love this concealer a lot because it doesn't go cakey and it is great under my eyes to brighten them up.
3) Rimmel stay matte powder:
Now everyone obsesses over this powder, and I can see why, it is pretty good, however I don't think it has much staying power as some people say.

4)Sleek contour and highlight in shade light:
I'm in love with this, used it most days since I bought it, I mainly use the highlighter rather than the contour, it's so pretty and shines so nicely in the light and can really make you look glowing.
 
5)Mua palette:
This is my go to palette as it has a range of colours in and they are highly pigmented. I love the shimmery cream colour(top left)  on the inner Corners of my eyes, and lately ive been using it all of the lid with eye liner to create a bright look rather than my usual browns.

6) benefit they're real mascara:
I'm sort of love/hate with this, I love it because it makes my lashes look better than with any other mascara but I hate it because it goes clumpy and flakes all over my eyes sometimes.
7) aviators:
The sun was finally shining for about a week and I wanted some aviators, these were only cheap ones from primark but I wanted a pair quick while I was out in the sunshine :)
8) sanex deodorant:
This a weird thing to talk about but I find so many deodorants smell too perfume-y and this smells nice and actually does the job! I also love it cause it leaves no white marks at all! 

~What products/items are you loving lately?  

 I am currently loving this combo of Rimmel match perfection foundation and using it with a real techniques Buffing brush. It gives quite a flawless finish with no streaks as the brush really works it into your skin. I quite like this foundation too, it gives a light- medium coverage and it's the perfect colour for my skin, however I do find that it can tend to stick to dry skin.
