I've Been Shopping Again...

So as the title suggests I have been shopping again. I went to Banbury and I did a little bit of shopping as I had a few things that I wanted to get.

In Boots I bought a few things. I picked up more of the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine polishes as I love them. After trying Greenberry I have since bought 4 other colours and I plan to get more. At the moment Boots has a great offer because these are buy one get one half price so it would be rude not to pick up some new colours. The shades I got were Grapefruit and Guava. I also picked up a Rimmel London 60 Seconds polish, I saw this on Alice's blog (Bright Town Girl) and I loved the colour and I knew I had to have it. I also picked up the Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner as I've been loving my winged eyeliner recently and I needed a new felt liner.

I then went to Poundland as I usually find some great bargains. In my last haul  I showed you a Milani Blush and Bronzer Duo I really like it so I thought I would pick up some more shades I got Sunset City and Sunset Beach. I also spotted this Milani Glimmer Stripes in Pink Glimmer this product can be used on the eyes or cheeks. You can use the colours individually or blended together. I can't wait to try these products as they look so pretty.

I also spotted this Mellor & Russell Hair Oil and I thought it was worth trying as it was only £1. I have tried a few hair oils and I really like them so hopefully this will be ok. 

Lastly I picked up another Makeup Sponge from H&M as I love to use them to apply makeup. They are dupe of the Beauty Blender but at a fraction of the price. This one costs just £1.99 so is well worth trying.

June Favourites

It's time again to to share my monthly favourites, it doesn't seem that long ago that I was sitting down to write my May favourites. 

This month I have rediscovered my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I have always loved this foundation but this month I have been wearing it nearly everyday. I love the way it looks on my skin and that it is really light so that it lets my skin breathe. To apply my foundation I have been loving 2 different tools, for the first half of the month I was using my Beauty Blende dupe which I got from H&M. I love this for applying foundation as it makes it look flawless. The second half of the month I loved my ELF Powder Brush I use this like a buffing brush to buff my foundation in and I love the finish that it gives. 

I have found myself reaching for my MUA Undress Me Too palette a lot this month.The cooler shades of brown make it perfect for summer. I have been loving the shades Shy, Wick and Reveal. 

I have been loving painting my nails this month which is something I don't usually have a lot of time for. I have  loved using the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Greenberry on my finger nails. I love the colour and formula and I really like that it lasts a week on my nails before it starts chipping. I have been liking the Barry M Nail Paint in Shocking Pink on my toes as it is such a bright colour and I love bright polishes on my toes. Lastly I have been loving the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray. You spray your nails with this and they are touch dry within 60 seconds. One of the drawbacks for me (I'm sure I'm not alone here) of painting my nails was the fact that you have to wait around whilst they dry with this it cuts down the time you have to wait.

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I got this foundation from Fragrance Direct as I had been wanting to try it for ages. I got the shade 110 Porcelain, which I have found to be an almost perfect colour match.

Unfortunately this foundation does not have a pump, however if you buy it in Boots or Superdrug it does have a pump. I like foundations that have pumps as I find that it is easier and less messier to get the product out. 

This is what the Boots website says 'Flawless. Lets the real you come through. Beyond Matching: Fresh, Breathing, Natural Skin. SPF 18' 

I like foundation that is offers light coverage and I try to make sure that I get a foundation which has SPF in it. This has SPF 18 which is unusal as most foundations I own seem to only have SPF 15. 

Now onto my thoughts of the product, as you can see from the swatches this foundation is very watery and without a pump it means I end up wasting a lot of product as I often pour too much out. When I first tried it I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush which is what I use for all my foundation but I found that when I used it for this foundation it seemed to take ages to blend and it looked streaky once it had blended. After a couple more tries of using it with the brush I wrote it off as a bad foundation and put it back into my collection. It wasn't until I bought a makeup sponge from H&M that I thought I would try it again. The sponge is a dupe for the Beauty Blender but it is a fraction of the price at £1.99. When I used the sponge I instantly noticed a difference in the foundation, it blended easier and it didn't look streaky on my face. In fact my foundation looked flawless and I loved the way it looked on my skin. My experience shows that the tools used to apply foundation can make all the difference, a brush that is good for one foundation may not be the best for another.
