Boots Botanics - All Bright Radiance Balm.

One thing my skin needs going from Winter to Spring is radiance and moisture. Winter really takes it out of my skin leaving it dull and dry, so when I saw a radiance balm that only cost £2.99 (yes, you read that correctly £2.99!) I had to pick it up, and here is why I think you should to.

Boots Botanics - Hydrating day cream.

Budget skincare is something I've always enjoyed testing, and since graduating from uni and being unemployed, I've been testing a lot of it! Boots has always been my favourite place to discover new skincare, and when I saw the Botanics range on special offer I thought I'd pick out some items to try.

Botanics - Radiant Youth Hydrating eye cream.

Last year I discovered the importance of eye creams and have tried several to find the right one for me. Your eyes are always one of the first parts of your body to show the signs of aging due to the skin being so delicate, so it is important to look after them. So after a couple of months trying the Boots Botanics Hydrating eye cream I'm ready to give my verdict.

No7 Beautifully Matte foundation.

 Hi everyone, hope you all are well! Today I am going to review the No.7 beautifully Matte foundation. I recently picked this up on a small shopping trip to Boots as I had run out of my usual foundation and I needed a quick replacement, and I am so glad I picked this one up! 

I really like the packaging of this foundation, it is nothing super fancy but it comes in a sturdy sleek bottle, which is nice and thin so it fits easily in my makeup storage. And It also comes with a really nice pump, so it is easy to control the amount of product you want to use.

I find this foundation is quite thick and also really pigmented so when using I only need one small pump to cover my whole face, which means this should last a while which I love! Also even though the formula is a bit thick it doesn't feel heavy on the face.

This foundation provides a medium to full coverage which is very buildable if you have any blemishes you want to cover up, and I find that this foundation does last the full day, so I don't need to do any touch-ups whilst I'm out.

When applying this foundation I use my fingers (mainly because I find it quicker and also because my foundation brush is at my uni home) and I find once it has dried it leaves my skin looking really even and nice and matte. 

When I got this foundation home I was really excited to find that it contained salicylic acid acid in it to help improve the skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes, and I have found that since using it my skin has been looking better and also it hasn't broke my skin out at all! Also I find the formula doesn't dry out my skin at all, but if you already have quite dry skin I don't think this would be totally suitable for you.

As you can probably tell I really love this foundation and I am definitely going to repurchase it when I run out! And what makes it better is that this foundation only costs £13.50, which I think is a great price especially since you only need a small amount of product each time you use it! You can buy it here:

What is your favourtie foundation?

Keeping safe in the sun.

I know I've said this a lot but it really is important to protect your skin from the sun otherwise it can cause your skin to age faster or it can help cause skin cancer. So with the summer holidays here I thought now would be a good time to review some of the sun lotions I own and use.

Natural collection Moisture shine lipstick - Rosebud.

Hi everyone, today I thought I would write about one of my favourite lipsticks that I go to all the time  Rosebud by Natural collection. 

I absolutely love the colour of this lipstick, which is a nice nude dusky pink, that can be built up to become a bolder pink. This is my go to lipstick when I am in a rush or having a busy day as it is easy to apply and gives my lips a healthy look.

This lipstick is from Natural collections Moisture shine range and has a glossy finish. I do find this lipstick to be quite moisturising and it doesn't dry my lips out at all. However due to it's glossy texture I do get a tiny bit of lipstick transfer on glasses and such things. This lipstick for me lasts around 3-4 hours and I find that it does need touch ups though out the day.

This lipstick was a great bargain at £1.99, so to be honest I don't really mind that I may have to reapply it a little more often than my usual lipsticks.

You can pick this Lipstick up, as well as other colours in the collection in stores at Boots.
