2True Be Clear 4 Foundation,Concealer + Powder Review ♥

Hello' This is the final part of the 2true reviews! Today I bring you the face products that I have received in my goodie bag/box. I have never tried anything from the face range that 2True have to offer yet alone the Be Clear 4 range that they have introduced. Each of the products also claim to do certain things to your skin so I was very excited to use and review! I tested these out for a few days before writing this and I am currently still using one of the 3 products in my everyday make-up routine. 

First up is the foundation, this is in 'Shade 1' the lightest shade of the all the foundations they have. The products says that it

- 'controls shine'

- gives a 'matter finish'

- is a 'mineral complex'

- and is 'lightweight

I don't have really oily skin, so I didn't really see a difference in shine but it gave me a really matte finish which I wasn't used to - however I really loved it. It looked really nice on the skin and is very medium coverage. The foundation feels very lightweight, you can build up the colour yet you still feel like there isn't nothing on your face.

As you can see, shade 1 is very light on me! As far as I am aware there is only one shade for this product, which is a disappointment as I love the finish and formula. After blending it in on my hand I thought that the product may work on my face, which would mean that I could work with it. The product is very creamy and easy to blend in. I put it on one side of my face and it was too light; so I mixed it in with a foundation that I have that it is two dark for me and hey presto! It looked perfect! 

Next is the concealer, again this is also in 'shade 1' this is just like any ordinary stick concealer that rolls up after taking off the lid. This concealer is also a very creamy and easy to blend. I was also afraid after using the foundation that it may be light, however I managed. 

The concealer says that it - 

-Conceals, 

-Moisturises 

- Conditions with Vitamin E

-It also contains antibacterial agents

To say this was shade 1, it was much more lighter than the foundation. After blending two shades of foundation on my face, and then using this concealer it covered and concealed most of my blemishes. The little spots could still be seen, it did however last all day and stay covered after being set.

And finally the powder, which is also shade 1 just like the rest! I have recently been on the hunt for a new pressed powder and I know think I have found it. It promises the same things as the foundation 

he products says that it

- 'controls shine'

- gives a 'matter finish'

- is a 'mineral complex'

- and is 'lightweight

I wore this on a hot day when I was bound to get oily and this definitely controlled the shine and oil that surfaced on my skin. It also helped keep my skin matte all day, which I loved and have fallen in love with a matter look over dewy. 

I THINK I MAY BE IN LOVE. This powder is the perfect shade for my skin and is the best match compared to the other two face products. It feels so lightweight and smooth on the skin and really completes your face. The texture is very soft and it is just perfect; this is now my everyday powder as it looks great morning and night - all day long. 

2True you have impressed me so much! I will be mixing the foundation and concealer with my current uses to get that perfect shade and well the powder is a product I can't live without. All these are so budget friendly and won't hurt my purse.

The Autumn Tag ♥

I have recently started to take part in the twitter chats that happen on a Sunday night using the tag #bbloggers, and on the first day of September everyone was talking about what things they were looking forward to about autumn and their favourite things. This got me well and truly excited about the next few months as autumn (fall in america) is my favourite time of year. During the chat, I saw that a blogger had created a Autumn Tag, my heart jumped with excitement and I just had to do complete it! The lovely Georgia from Makeup-Pixi3 created this amazing and tag and you should all follow her and check her blog out!

For Autumn, what is your...

1. Favourite thing about it? I have to really shorten down this answer, as I have a long list of things! First of all I love the weather, even though majority of people prefer being warm - i like the cold, crisp evenings where it starts to turn dark early and you get that little bit of chill at night! I also love the clothes; cardigans and jumpers are my favourite things to wear!! They feel so warm and are uber comfy that I could just live in sweaters!

2. Favourite drink? Anything cinnamon, pumpkin or vanilla spiced! It tastes so warm and yummy in my mouth and is to die for! I really want to try the drinks that Starbucks bring out at this time of year as I didn't get a chance last year!

3. Favourite scent/candle? Just like drink, I love cinnamon,pumpkin and vanilla smelling candles! Anything spicy will do for me! Yankee Candle have bought a new Salted Caramel range out and I want to get my hands on it! For perfume, I don't really change my everyday wear as I prefer wearing the sweet scents.

4. Best lipstick? Not a big lipstick lover, so around this time of year I tend to stick with the neutral colours or things that give me a natural lip tint! I do want to try a berry colour though.

5. Go to moisturiser? My Simple Moisturiser is great for the summer time as it is very light, but through the colder months .. my skin suffers! I switch to good old Nivea to tackle all that dryness!

6. Go to colours for the eyes? My favourite eye shadow combination for Autumn has to be a mix of deep purple/berry on the outer corner and then neutrals on the eyelids and crease. I also love wearing a bronze/copper coloured smokey eye.

7. Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? My music taste doesn't change! I just listen to everything on my ipod that is current!

8. Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)? There are so many outfits I love wearing around this time of year! My ideal one and favourite has to be leggings, a big over sized jumper with my knee high boots or ankle boots. It keeps me warm and comfy!

9. Autumn treat? (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on) I really want to splurge on some new scarf's for the winter and autumn seasons as I think they make any outfit look amazing! Also got my eye on the new Models Own Fireworks collection as that looks promising.

10. Favourite place to be? Home. There is no doubt in my mind that I love being at home, in my soft pj's with a movie on and sipping on a good old cup of hot chocolate. Nothing can beat time with the family!

Back2School Stationery Haul ♥

We are well and truly all into the swing of going back to school, and at the end of every august every year everyone goes shopping for stationery! I left mine until just recently as I wanted to know for sure what I was needed to take to sixth form, here are the little goodies I picked up on a trip!

The most important things that I needed to get were ring binders, this makes filing and organising your work so much easier to do! I bought them in different colours so that each subject can have a different file. They were also on offer so that was a bonus! 

I also bough a mini Pukka Pad that comes with a planner built in, not only is this great to doodle, note things down but you can also add your timetable and important dates in the front. I also like that these pads enable you to move the dividers around and make them where you want them to go. A small jotter to note things down in one of my subjects as I don't need a folder, instead I can just use this when I really need it.

The spotty notepad is my fav,and I was really disappointed to see that they didn't have it in any other colours so instead I had to get the boring red one! Oh well.. I also bought some highlighters as I find them so helpful in my work and revision notes because it tells me the most important things I need to learn.

No7 High Shine Lipgloss - Coral Kiss ♥

A few weeks back, I got gifted this No7 goody bag from a good friend of mine and I was very excited to see what was inside! And I am loving everything I have got! No7 is a brand that I don't really buy from as they are only ever in boots and the stands always seem really busy..however I think after discovering this bag, I may be drawn towards them! I haven't really used anything from the bag apart from this lipgloss!

This coral lipgloss, is such a beautiful colour. It is slightly more pink that coral as I would describe it as it isn't as bright. The formula for these high shine lip glosses are amazing, they are so pigmented, glossy and most of all are super soft when on the lips. You can make it look sheer on your lips or even build up the colour if you want something a lot more bold. When I swatched it, it felt really sticky so I tried it on my lips and it wasn't sticky at all! 

This is available to buy in Boots and there are also so many more shades to choose from!
