Gosh Velvet Touch Foundation

Hiya,
Primers are one of the most important items in make up!! This Gosh Primer contains Aloe in it, it leaves your skin so soft. I have massive pores around my noise and mouth, also i breakout easily. SAD!
This is a clear primer, but you have to leave it for 5 minutes to sink into the skin before you apply your makeup. I have noticed my makeup has lasted longer especially my foundation, which is amazing if i don't wear a primer my L'oreal true match or Revlon Colourstay ( my top foundations along with Max factor :D) last for around 3 hours before i can see my spots and blemishes clearly, also i have oily skin!
But with this primer my foundation lasts for around 6 hours. Which is good of course this is not amazing but it is good! :D
So i give this primer 5 stars/5!

Hopefully i will do another hall soon!!
want a new Max factor foundation.

Revlon Colourstay Foundation Review

Hey, even though i have only had this foundation for a few days i have already got a review on it. As i have said before i do own this foundation in another shade which is too dark for me, the shade which i have recently got is 110 ivory. ( which is just a tiny bit too light)!
It comes in a 30ml bottle, with no pump!
The good things:
This foundation absorbs oil just like i wanted, also it cover really well. It has a good amount of staying power, but only on some areas of my face.
The Not so good things:
This foundation smells like paint!! Yes, paint! Like i mentioned above the foundation doesn't stay on very long on some parts of my face. This parts are acne/ breakout areas!!! The place where i need it most!!!

I put this foundation on about 8 am by the time i got home (4 pm) my breakouts where really visible and some of the foundation in this area had gone caky and stared to peal off my skin. ( i did use a primer before hand)
God knows how long it had been like that!

Over all the foundation is good! :D
But i would only give it 4 stars out of 5, as it failed it it's staying power!!!

Hopefully I will be doing more reviews soon!!! :D :D!!!

Boots / Superdrug haul!!!+ swatches



Today i went to town to just look at some makeup, i was in desperate need of a new foundation (in the right colour), lipsticks and lip glosses. I had made an order online for eye shadows, bases and false lashes.

When i got to Superdrug i noticed there was a 3 for 2 offer on all makeup products! How could i not take advantage of this??? I purchased 3 items. 1 of them i got free. I got the Revlon Colourstay Foundation, in ivory. Gosh velvet touch foundation Primer and the sleek Face contour Kit in light.
Then i went on to boots. I purchased 6 items: 3 Natural collection lip glosses, and 3 natural collection lipstick. There was an offer on natural collection, 3 for £5.
*** These are not reviews these are just my first thoughts!!


Gosh Velvet Touch Foundation Primer:
I have bought this primer before , and i loved it!!! Unfortunately i lost it in June, I have some how managed to live without it in the last few months. I had to re-buy it!! It feels sooo soft!!! It was between this or the Loreal studio secrets one. I thought i better stick with what i know is good. :D
Cost: £12.99





Revlon Colourstay Foundation:
I have also bought this item before but in the shade buff, it was too dark. This new shade is Ivory and it matches my skin tone perfectly!!:D
I bought this foundation hoping for a long lasting foundation that absorbs oil!!
Hopefully this will work!!
Cost: £11.99





Sleek Face Contour Kit:

This was my free item, it is a highlighter and a contour in one. I find it very hard to contour my face as normally the product is too dark. I am please to say this isn't. It also come with a mirrow which i covered up with the box as shown...
Here are swatches of the product on my hand, ( the highlight isn't very visible as it is the same colour as my skin.) This product retails for £4.95




Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipsticks:

These where on offer 3 for £5. They come in a white plastic package. The package is not very steardy it opens very easily. I got these in 3 colours:
(L-R) Coral Shimmer, Rose Dub and Candy Fix. I really wanted Apple Blossem (nude), but there was none in stock!!! These are moistursing without being " slip of ur lips". There is no scent or taste.
They have a amazing colour pay off. They are not matte as they a sheen
They cost £1.95 each.
(l-r) Coral shimmer, Rose dub, Candy fix.





Natural Collection Lip glosses:
I would not be complete if i didn't buy lip gloss!!!
As these where also on offer i couldn't resist!
They come with a sponge applicator,
From left to right:
Toffee Cream, Raspberry Whip and Serbat Fizz
These have a thick formula but are not sticky, they have a good colour pay off!
They don't look that glossy on the lips though!
Also they smell like there name(eg Toffee cream smells like toffees) These also cost £1.95 each.


I will be review these products soon :D
