In the last few weeks I seem to have struck gold in terms of finding make up that I really really love. Normally I would stick to what I know and tend not to give new make up a try as much as I should, however I recently 'took a shortcut' through Boots and ended up with a small bag of new products (oops).
Wet 'N' Wild Eye shadow
This was one of the first coloured eye shadows I ever bought and unfortunately I don't actually remember where I got this from or where you can get it from! On a daily basis I prefer to stick to a plain subtle colour and after rediscovering this hidden underneath all of my make up I decided to give it a go. This is in the shade 'Fine Wine' and its a lovely pink champagne colour. The eye shadow itself is very hard wearing and lasts all day, the colour comes out quite bold so you don't really need a lot on your brush to achieve that block colour. It's perfect for everyday or even for mixing up with other colours to create a more suitable evening look.
Kate Moss has recently released a new mascara for Rimmel and the first 180 to buy it through Boots received a small handful of Kate Moss' other Rimmel products. Fortunately I was in that first 180 and received this lipstick within the bundle. It's in the shade 33 and is a beautiful pink, perfect for spring. I have a few of Kate's lipsticks as I think they last a while, don't make your lips feel or look dry and there are some beautiful shades available. I have been wearing this everyday since I got it and I'm really pleased with how well it compliments my skin tone. For £5.49 I would definitely repurchase it!
You may or may not have noticed I am a sucker for Rimmel products. They are my favourite brand and I am always willing to give their products a go. Everyone and their brother seems to rave about this concealer so I thought I would follow the crowd and give it a go. Honestly, I can't believe I didn't try it earlier! I have literally been wearing this and powder for the past week as it offers such good coverage I haven't felt the need to put foundation on top. Despite being very pale it manages to blend in with my skin well and doesn't leave me looking or feeling orange and cakey as some concealers do. I have high hopes for the foundation now, does anyone know if it is as good?
I was slightly hesitant about this eyeliner as the tip is so fine and I'm used to a pen like tip and I never thought I would be able to master using this. However, I was wrong. It is so precise and easy to get a really smooth wing and I can't imagine using anything else. It pretty much stays put all day and once you get used to the fine tip it becomes really easy to use. I believe this was around £6. I have been searching high and low for a decent eyeliner and it's been like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
I promised myself I wouldn't do a full review on this as just about everyone is but I couldn't not include it in this post along side a small review! It is such an amazing mascara and adds not only volume but length. It stays on all day and doesn't even require that many layers before your lashes look luxurious! It retails for £8.99 which is about average for a high street mascara. I've never been one to buy fancy mascaras as I believe there are so many high street mascaras now that promise just the same thing for half the price. This mascara is available in a variety of colours so even if you fancied mixing it up and going for something completely different you can.
Here is what all of the make up above looks like on.
I hope you enjoyed this post and if you have any make up products that you think I might like let me know!
