Stila Tinted Moisturiser Review

I bought this quite a while ago from poundland and you can see that post here and as promised I am going to review it for you.

The colour that I have is slightly too dark for me but they only had 2 shades available dark and medium. When I use this I have to be really careful when I apply it because if I put too much on it turns me orange. However I do really like this it goes on really well and blends in really easily and it lasts all day. I really like the packaging as it is really different from anything else I have seen. I'm not sure whether I would have paid the full price when it was available as it is good but I wouldn't pay their prices for it. This product is discontinued I believe but I think you can get ones with a lower SPF. This offers a nice light coverage but it can be built up if you need a bit more coverage. It isn't greasy on my skin which is another bonus. The SPF 30 is an added bonus for me as I don't really need such a high SPF as I live in the UK and it doesn't get very hot.

Swatches

Blended Out


All in all this is a great product and it is great to wear to school as it is such a light coverage and it looks very natural.

Thanks for reading

Updated Skincare Routine

As promised in my last post I am doing an update of my skincare routine. I realised whilst doing my empties post that my skincare routine has changed quite a lot since my last post that I did on it. So without further ado lets get onto the products.




So I now use the Neutrogena grapefruit facial wash, I really wanted to try this as it has a pump which I thought would be a lot easier than a squeezy bottle. At first I didn't like the smell of this I found it to be too strong but now that I've used it a bit more I really like it. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and smooth.


The facial scrub that I use is the same as before, the my skin facial scrub. It smells really nice and is perfect for exfoliating my skin. It has lasted along time as well because I only use it once a week.

I use the clean and clear moisturiser which I really like. It is really moisturising and lasts along time also it doesn't take too long to sink in which makes it perfect to use I the morning and at night.

I use the clean and clear cleansing lotion which I don't particularly like, I use it to remove my makeup at night but whenever you use it near the eyes it stings. So I have to use a separate product to remove my eye makeup. I probably won't repurchase this and I would love some suggestions for cleansers. You can see my full review of it here.

I use the garnier makeup remover to remove my eye makeup and this is the only item in my skincare routine that has remained the same since my last post. I really like this as it is really gentle on the eyes and removes makeup really easily.

Next is the witch blemish stick which I really love, it is basically a stick that you can use on your spots. Whenever I feel a spot coming on or I have a spot I put this on it and the spot instantly goes down. I really recommend this as it is very affordable and it actually works.

The last item I use is the botanics toning spray which is a relatively new product, I really like this it is really refreshing and removes and last bits of makeup that didn't come off. I did a full review of it which you can see here.

I hope you enjoyed this post

Products I've Used Up #2

I always love reading these post as you can see that a blogger has used the whole product and they can give their full opinion of it.


VO5 shampoo and conditioner

I love this range of hair care the products smell amazing and they leave your hair feeling really soft and smooth. I will definitely be repurchasing these in the future.

Garnier Ultra Dry deodorant
I really like this deodorant it offers all day protection which I find some deodorants don't always do and it smells quite nice. This deodorant doesn't leave white marks on your clothes and I've already repurchased it.

Batiste dry shampoo
I didn't like this at all, I featured it in my products I regret buying post which you can see here. I really did not like the smell of this and it put me off using it.

Macleans whitening toothpaste
I know it's a weird product to include but I finished it up so I though I'd include it. Toothpaste is a bit like shampoo for me I buy whichever toothpaste is on offer at the time. I always get whitening toothpaste though as my teeth are naturally a yellowey colour so whitening toothpaste helps. When using this I could really see a difference and I will probably repurchase it.
Dove Deeply Nourishing body wash
I really liked this body wash it left my skin feeling really soft and it was very moisturising. I featured this in my June favourites post which you can see here.

Original Source Cocoa and Vanilla bubble bath
I loved this it smelt amazing and when I used it in the bath it left my skin feeling really nice and the smell lingered in my skin. I wanted to repurchase it but couldn't find it in Tesco which is where I got it from before.

Treacle Moon Vanilla body scrub
I love this scrub it is really gentle and can be used everyday. It smells amazing and works really well with the matching shower gel. The whole treacle moon range is fantastic and I will be repurchasing it once I've used up my other scrubs.
Simple moisturiser
I didn't particularly like this. I have normal skin but I still found this to be not moisturising enough. Also it took a long time to sink in which was fien at night but not suitable for when I used it in the morining. I have just realeased that my skincare has changed a lot since the original post so I'm going to update it this week.

Champneys hand and nail cream
I found this hand cream far to greasy and I didn't particularly like the smell so I wouldn't repurchase it. I have bougght the soap and glory hand food so I will  let you know how I get on with it.

Dirty Works facial wipes
I really liked these wipes they were rewally soft and they smelt really nice. Dirty Works is a bit like soap and glory only a little bit cheaper their products can hbe found in Sainsburys.

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.

NOTD- You Are Worth It

A few posts ago I posted about an amazing free gift that I got with a L'Oreal purchase and today I am featuring one of the shades called you are worth it. I really like this nail polish it has a wide brush which makes it easy to apply. It does however need 3 coats to get it to the colour you see in the picture.

Top 5 Under £5

I saw miss budget beauty do this on her blog and YouTube channel, so I thought I would share my top products under £5. This was actually really hard not because I haven't got lots of products under £5 but because I didn't want to feature tons of MUA products as there are other great brands that are cheap but don't always get mentioned.

MUA- Undressed Palette
Almost every blogger has featured this on their blog. This is a great palette it is only £4 and it is a fantastic dupe for the Naked palette which is £36. You can see my full review of it here.

MUA Blush- English Rose
This was my first ever blush that I bought as I thought I was too pale to wear blush but this is perfect it adds a nice pink glow to your cheeks and it is only £2.50. I featured this in my August favourites here.

Collection Lipstick- Sea Shell
I love this lipstick it is a really wearable colour. It is really moisturising and long lasting and it is only £2.99. I featured this in my June favourites here.

2True Lipgloss- 22
I really like this lipstick as it isn't too sticky and it lasts a reasonable amount of time. There isn't a great colour pay off so I usually use it over the top of a lipstick and it seems to work really well. Also the 2True nail polishes are amazing you can see an NOTD featuring a 2True nail polish here. All the 2True products are £1.99 or 3 for £4.99. 2True is available at Superdrug.

Miss Sporty nail polish- Grape Fit
I love the Miss Sporty nail polishes they are such great quality and are only £1.99. They have amazing shades to choose from and this is just one of the shades I own. They have a wide brush which makes it really nice and easy to apply. It lasts quite a long time as well before it chips. I featured this in my May favourites here.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I might go on and do the top 10 under £10 post, also I may do my top MUA products if you'd like to see that please let me know.
