hello, today i am going to talk about Rimmels lasting finish 25 nude foundation. This is my first impression because i have only worn it for one day, but i must say i am impressed! 

The product is £6.99 and is avalible in all drugstores. Firstly the packaging is the same as any other Rimmel foundation, its glass but will not break easily! The lids on these products are very easy to use and don't clog up with product

I have this in 010 light porcelain which is the lightest shade in the 8 shades avalible ( i think there are 8 shades!) I am super pale and always struggle with looking orange even from the lightest shades, but honestly this foundation is great for pale skin tones!

So, the product itself claims to have a medium coverage. Now although i like my 

acne scars to be covered, i like to have some skin on show for a more natural look. The coverage for this foundation is definatly a good medium, its covers what you want covering but doesnt leave your face feeling heavy from make-up. The product blends in great and has a flawless fresh finnish, i would say this foundation is a mix of Rimmel match perfection and L'oreal true match. 

I have worn this foundation all day without a primer and it has stayed put, the product hasnt dried up or gone greasy and overall i love it. I think its great that is has and spf of 20! I would recommed this to all skin types

Love Sophie

Hello lovelies, today I am going to be talking about my essence lip liner collection, recently I have really been getting into lip liners because they are so much more easier to apply then lipsticks! And they last longer too! I thought I would share these with you today because they are very affordable and super good quality!

 

 

 

From left to right in the above photo I have Satin Mauve, which if you love the Kylie Jenner lip I would so recommend this colour, Femme Fatale which is a lovely post box red and Wish Me A Rose which is a nude pink

 

 

 

So firstly the price! These lip liners are an amazing £1 each, but are a lot better then similar brands in this price range such as MUA and Make up Revolution ( as much as I love these brands too! ). I got mine from Wilkinson in the UK as this brand isn't available in the main drugstores yet.

 

The pigmentation of these lip liner are amazing and they all have a pretty matte finish. But, unlike most matte finishes this little products are moisturizing and so soft. I find I don't have to touch up my lips while wearing these liners because they have amazing staying power

 

They have a range of around 10 colours of lip liners, and there nudes are super pretty. If you enjoy lip liners, I would highly recommend these as a low budget option!

If the man in your life loves spices and chocolate, why not get this as a cute stocking filler?

 

This Cheese Board is £30, and comes personalised!

 

 

 

 

Now my boyfriend loves his watches. But a watch is one of those things that they will either love or hate in my opinion and I have found some of the nicest watches for men at ASOS, you can find them here! http://t.co/VbTiZ1CX30 

 

 

 

Although my boyfriend personally wouldn't like this style, I think its such a lovely watch from ASOS. There watches have a price range between £30 to £100 and they are all so lovely. You can also find many more gifts from them, lots of lovely bits and bobs!

 

 

 

 

 

Boots have amazing Christmas gift sets,

 And with there 3 for 2 offers its hard to say no. There main male gift sets are either shower, bath and smelly things, kitchen, cooking and things for foodies and they also have a great selection of gadgets! There gifts sets are between £6 to £30 and all are great quality, I have to say I may have already gone a little crazy in boots for my boyfriend an.. myself!

There gifts for foodies are so beautiful and such great quality!

 

 



November Favourites

 

 

 

Hello, its that time of the month again, these are some of the things I have really been enjoying this month!

 

 

1. Barry M Starry Eyed shadow and blush palette has been my best friend this month! I am yet to use the blush, but this palette has some beautiful gold and brown tones that are perfect as an all over colour for my eyes! This palette is a pretty new purchase and is new from Barry M, I love these palettes because they are so high quality!

 

2. Next up is a brow product and I have been using this every day this month for my brows, its just one of them go to products that every girl needs, and it is Rimmel Brow This Way. I love how handy this product is and the colour is just right for my brows!

 

3. Next up is a brush I have been using with my Barry M palette, this is the Blending Brush from Bobbi Brown.  I find this to be such a great all round brush for all eye looks and I love it!

 

4. My background is very floral right? Well it is actually a lovely Tea Dress from Forever 21. I brought it in the sale and I can not wait to wear it! I also brought two other dresses from Forever 21 and a pair of jeans

 

5. I am sure you will all of heard of this, but this month I have really been loving Cappuccino nail polish from Barry M. Its a nude brown colour, I also lovely Barry M nail varnishes in general because they are such amazing quality!

 

6. Mono Professional skin care treatment oil is something I actually got in my Glossy Box.  I had never heard of the brand before, but the full sized product is £25.99, but after using it the past two weeks I will without a doubt be repurchasing it! This stuff has completely cleared my skin! ITS AMAZING!

 

7. Collection Lengthening Mascara , now I am still unsure about this mascara for the simple reason that it smudges so much. But I makes my lashes look so long, now my lashes are very short and annoying and I have never really got into mascara for the simple reason I have never made the time to really make them stand out, this mascara makes me have the lashes of my dreams

 

 

8. I have always loved benefit porefessional and wanted to look for a cheaper alternative. Now as much as I hate that this primer comes as a solid, this does what is says on the tin, and also glues my make up to my face all day, this primer is the Seventeen flawless Poreless and is one I will be buying again

 

 

 

Thank you for reading

 

Love Sophie
