I recently took a long overdue trip to Boots and picked up a handful of beauty products. Here's what I bought:
I knew I needed some new foundation and decided to pick up two; The Loreal Paris Infallible 24-hr Matte foundation, and the Rimmel Stay Matte liquid foundation moose. I am always on the look out for good Matte foundations, as I work in a kitchen my face does get very hot and is prone to looking shiny, so I need something that will keep that under control.
After trying them for the past week, I can say I am in love with them both. The Loreal one is such a nice light consistency, but stays on all day and is pretty much full coverage. The only thing is that the shade is slightly too light for me, so next time i'll get the lighter one.
The Rimmel stay matte foundation, is similar to the BB cream, except it is in a mousse formula. It does feel quite heavy on the skin because of this, so i'm not sure i'll wear it so much in the height of summer but I love how it feels and glides nicely onto the skin.
I also picked up the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This is just a great, affordable concealer that covers all my blemishes and it's one that I always go back to and buy again and again!
The next thing I spied is the Loreal Colour Riche Liptick, in shade J Lo's Barely Greige. This is such a gorgeous nude shade, and is super moisturising and soft on the lips. These are a limited edition collection, so grab them while you can!
For my brows, I picked up two products: The Maybelline Brow Drama Crayon, and the Soap & Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow.
The Maybelline Brow Crayon is prefect for if you're travelling or on the go, as it is so small. It's really pigmented aswell, i've found that I don't need to press hard at all to get the look I want so it will definitely last a long time.
The Soap & Glory Archery, however is the complete opposite. I do like it a lot, but it takes a lot of effort and hard-pressing of the sculpting crayon to get a decent amount of colour. I fear that it will run out very quickly, so I'm not sure it's worth the money? Although, I do love the setting liquid as it keeps my brows in place all day.
I've always been a fan of Rimmel Mascara's, and I saw this one that i'd never tried before. It's the Super Curler mascara. What I love about it is the wand is shaped to fit with your lashes, so the curl will hold for longer. It makes my lashes look super volumised and is a good formula, not gloopy at all.
The last thing I picked up is the Barry M Mani Mask nail paint. It is designed to strengthen and treat damaged nails which I love. The colour is just a nice natural pink shade and has a matte finish.
