Hi guys! 

 I am so sorry I haven't blogged for a while I have had a really hectic time of late. I have left 6th form and I am soon to be starting my first full time job on the 7th October so I am really excited but also pretty nervous!

I was planning to do a Summer Favourites video but unfortunately we have builders in to fix our crumbling bathroom so the noise disruption would be too much. But I will get round to doing that very soon :)

So today I have planned on doing a review of 3 products I bought over the summer. So without further ado! 


Product 1: L'Oreal Matte Salt Spray.

I bought this a little while ago to take on holiday with me instead of using heat on it to style and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I am normally a fond lover of L'Oreal hair and makeup products but this must be a dud product. My hair is fine but I have used other salt sprays that seem to stay in my hair a lot better than this, it just falls out within seconds of me scrunching my hair. It hasn't got a very nice smell either and feels really harsh on your hair when you need to brush it out. It is cheap at £3.75 so maybe I should have expected it to not be so good at that price. I'm not going to re-buy this product.

Product 2: Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation & Concealer

 

I bought these two because I really needed a high street foundation and a good concealer. For about 2/3 years I've only been able to wear Clinique foundations due to very severe dermatitis, which luckily isn't so bad now, and I just started finding that the coverage wasn't very good and seemed to cake with layers. I was pleasantly surprised at how good these really are! I They are both shade Ivory but the concealer is a lot lighter than the foundation which I was shocked at but it isn't too dark for me but in winter I may need to add a bit of moisturiser to it. It gives a great coverage even with just one layer and you can barely see any imperfections or dark circles when the concealer is used along side it and even on its own. It is quite dewy but in natural light it's a really nice youthful look, but I have found that under like school lights (not 100% if they're fluorescent or not but I haven't really encountered them since I've left) it seems quite sparkly which obviously, you don't really want to be looking like Edward Cullen while in school or anywhere else for that matter, although I suppose it would be an ok side to the make-up if you were on a night out clubbing or something like that. Concealer is £5.49 and foundation £8.99 in Boots.

Product 3: Colossal Mascara by Maybelline

I actually bought the bottom one first which is their 'Smokey eye' one and it is literally THE best mascara I have ever tried! It leaves a great voluminous result and it doesn't clump one bit even when it's on it's last legs and last all day. The top one is then their original but in Waterproof and personally I don't think it's as good, it's quite 'wet' so your lashes seem to stick together and then it's really difficult to separate them to get a good finish, so I'm sort of mixing the two right now, Smokey Eye first and then once it's dry I use a coat of the waterproof to lock it all in and that seems to work slightly better for me. I am hoping to buy the Smokey Eye again or maybe try the Original Colossal but maybe not the Waterproof version.

So I hope I have managed to give you a good review of each product and you can take the information away and use it for yourself. As I said I will try and up date again soon and then once I start my job hopefully get at least 1 post or video up a week! 

Thanks for reading! xoxo
