Maybelline Better Skin Foundation||Review+Swatches

Lately I have been a sucker for new releases. One of those being the newly released Maybelline Better Skin Foundation, it caught my eye as it claims to do the following things;

 - Our foundation improves the look of your skin every time you wear it. Skin looks better today, tomorrow and beyond.
 - Better Skin reduces the appearance of dull, blotchy and uneven skin, leaving you with flawless, hydrated, even and glowing skin.
- It evens out discoloration and brightens dull areas, providing a healthy looking glow from day to night.
- The formula is suitable for sensitive skin, contains no perfume, and is non-comedogenic. It is tested under dermatological control.

Of course, if something is claiming to give me amazing looking skin then I will jump to the chance straight away of trying it out. 

One of the things that bugs me about Maybelline is there colour range for all there face products. I picked up the shade '020/04Cameo' which does look really light but if you happen to see the spectrum of shades over on the maybelline website (here) you will see that it is one of the middle shades. I found that any shades darker than this one was far too dark for my skin and the ones before it are really light. Hence, this one being the best one to go with! Once blended it well however, it does look okay and then as you add concealer and so forth it looks fine. 

+ I will admit that my skin does look a lot better when wearing this foundation, I applied 2 think layers as one wasn't doing anything for me. 

+ I used the foundation without any primer underneath to see how it worked, even though it applied to my face easy and blended well - i think that I may need to use a different primer with it and not my Nivea one to see how it compares. 

+ I LOVE IT because of the finish, it is very natural looking and mattifying. It is also very hydrating

-  But it snugs at my dry skin around the nose and forehead. 

+ Having SPF is always a benefit.

- Even though it claims to help with sensitive skin, I don't think my skin likes it! I seem to have broken out recently and whether it is down to this foundation I have no idea, but I think I may need to use it once more when my skin is getting better and then I can really see!

Having never tried a liquid foundation from Maybelline I am very impressed! If you want something quick and easier for everyday then at £8.99 you can't go wrong. However, if you have dry skin like me then I wouldn't recommend it! I have a feeling that it would be great to use in the summer time!

Maylash Natural Eyelash Serum

Hello again! Today is a really exciting and unusual post! You will never see me wearing false lashes as they look like too much faf, and even though I own bottles of mascara I tend not to wear it all them time. I love my lashes, but have always wanted them to be longer without having to go through the cost of eye lash extensions or any pain! Today I bring you my alternative to getting longer and thicker eyelashes, a way that is easier, pain free and natural. 

What is MayLash? 

May lash is a natural eyelash serum that needs to be applied to the routes of your lashes, the serum helps with the growth of your natural lashes to make them look fuller and thicker. Many serums are very dangerous for your eyes and lashes because they contain something called prostaglandins, which is a substance that can cause side effects and different health issues. Where as Maylash have created a serum that only contains natural substances!

How to use MayLash?

All you do is apply a thin line of the serum on the routes of your eyelashes every night before you go to bed, be sure to remove all makeup before applying and only apply one stroke. You should start to see results after 4-8 weeks, but results and the time it takes varies with different people.

My Experience

At first I didn't know what to think, I had never done anything to my eyelashes so this was a first. Since receiving the bottle of serum in the post I have been applying is every night before I go to sleep. And touch wood I haven't experienced a problem yet, I haven't seen any change as of yet as it won't just happen over night, but when I do I will update you!

The standard price of Maylash is £49, even though it sounds ridiculous it will be worth every penny in the end I promise you! Here is a exclusive discount code just for you lot, so you only have to pay £34.30 saving you a whopping £14! Only available for a limited time, so hurry!

Top 10 under £10|| Beauty

Today I thought I would bring you a Top 10 under £10, where I talk about my favourite then things for under a whopping ten pounds. This post is all about my fav beauty items, and who knows maybe more of these in the future?! It was so difficult to pick just 10 items as I am a big drug store fan and love anything that is under £10, but I managed to narrow it down without repeating a lot of things. 

MUA Heaven&Earth Palette - This was the first eye shadow palette I ever purchased. The new sticker just shows how long I have had it for as I bought it when MUA first started up in Superdrug stores. I love the shades in this palette! Very neutral and great for every day, they are also very pigmented and last a long time with some primer on underneath. I haven't bought any of the other MUA only eye shadow palettes (par the artiste one which has bronzers and blushes in it) because I don't want to forget about this one.

Collection Concealer - The best thing I have ever bought, this was taken when I was just about running out and recently featured in my empties post a few weeks back. I love the coverage this stuff gives, and find that it is the only concealer I can use for my blemishes and that it doesn't dry out or look really flaky. 

Simple BB Cream - This isn't a very talked about product because it isn't really something you associate with as Simple is a skincare brand. But when this launched, I had my eyes set on it because I knew that I would most probably fall in love with. And boy I did. At first, I really didn't like it as it only comes in one universal shade that claims to match any skin tone - but then after finding different ways around it...I love it and it just squeezes under the ten pound tag. 

Maybelline Mascara - I find this mascara to be the one for me. It does everything it needs to and more. Why? Well because it lengthens whilst adding volume to your lashes and makes them look amazingly natural. I prefer the waterproof formula over the normal as the normal is very drying. 

Revlon Lip Butters - One of the best ways to add some colour to your lips, the shade range for these things are amazing and if you haven't tried one yet I seriously recommend them. They are very moisturising and give your lips colour whilst looking normal. If that makes sense? 

Maybelline Baby Lips - These things are so two sided, because some people hate them and some love them like me. I like using them on my lips at night time because I wake up with all the dryness gone and they feel soo soft. I also love the tinted ones if I am having a lazy day to make my self look a little more presentable. 

MUA Lipsticks - The cheapest things in this whole post. These lipsticks retail for only £1 and in my opinion will be the best pound you ever spend. Even though I find that they don't last very long on the lips, they are very pigmented and so moisturising. The recently launched Matte ones are also great however there isn't a very big range of colours to choose from.

Elegant Touch Nail Spray -  A recent discovery of mine and one that I have not regretted at all. This is the spray version of a rapid drying top coat, it is much cheaper than buying all this seche vite business and will dry your nails quicker than you can say super cala fragilistic expialidocious. The oily residue that is left over may annoy you at first glance, but if you rub it into your cuticles you are good to go. 

BarryM Gelly -  Who doesn't love these? If you are wanting to get that salon manicure gel effect thing at home then seriously go and invest in a few shades of these gelly formula nail polishes from barrym. They are rapidly becoming my addiction and you can see the one on the right 'Lychee' is by far my favourite shade. I am always reaching out to paint my nails with these babies because they are so glossy, long lasting and have amazing colour payoff. 

Hope you enjoyed this post! Love P x

Fresh Therapies Remover+Wipes||Review

I paint my nails alot, and sometime they can get really tired and weak because of the nail polish and the acetone that I put on them. Even though I leave them to rest every once in a while, they still look weak and cracked. So, when I came across Fresh Therapies I was amazed that you can create nail polish remover and wipes that are natural and kind to your skin and nails. I put the Natural Nail Polish Remover* and the Replenishing Wipes* to the test to see how they work and if they beg to differ from normal remover. The wipes and remover both have hints of lime and that hits you straight away when you start to use them. Neither of these products harm your nails as all the ingredients are natural and fresh, doing no harm to the body and perfect with those like me with sensitive skin or even ill or pregnant.

Before and After. Nails; BarryM Guava

I used the wipes and remover on one hand, but split the usage up between my fingers. I found the wipes much easier to use than the remover because it was already soaked in the remover. These wipes would be great for travelling as well, as you don't have to carry everything around with you. The packet says that the wipe is suitable for all 10 fingers and I think it would just stretch to all of them, if you have a dark nail polish on or one that is likely to stain then it does need a real good scrub. The remover is equally as good, is removes the nail polish off your nails and leaves your nails feeling amazing. 

If you are wanting something to remove your nail polish that is quick and easy then these products are definitely for you!
