Rinmel London Match Perfection Foundation

Hello!

So today I'm doing a review on the Rinmel London Match Perfection liquid perfection. To start off I'm just going to admit that the sole reason I bought this was that I found it in Bodycare for just £4.99 and I thought that was a great deal!(RRP is £6.99)

{I do not own or have rights to this picture}

I bought it in the shade 100 Ivory and it is probably the best fit shade I've ever had in a foundation! The foundation glides onto my skin really nicely and it smells amazing. The only problem you might have is that quite a lot comes out in one pump I found so be careful! This foundation has SPF 18 in it so it will be handy in the upcoming warmer months when you need some protection from the sun.

The description on the bottle says "Traceless coverage foundation with Advanced Smart-Tone technology for perfectly flawless skin under any light. Enhanced with Sapphire Radiance for an illuminating glow. Lasts all day." I definitely agree with the first part as it blends in great and still gives you the perfect amount of coverage to make your skin look nice and smooth. I believe the Sapphire Radiance is to brighten your face up and it does this well unlike the Wake Me Up foundation which a lot of people find to "glittery" to wear in the duller weather(though I honestly think that it is a great foundation otherwise). This one manages to give your face a natural brightened look that you could pull off whatever the weather. But, I do find that it doesn't quite last all day for me so touch-ups are needed if your concerned about that.

I like the bottle of this product as I find it looks very sleek and elegant(did I really just call I bottle elegant? hmm haha). The lid to this is made from quite a firm plastic and doesn't feel like those see-through ones which crack in half and leak all over your make-up bag. At the top of the lid it has Rinmel's signature crown logo and inside it also has grips to keep it in place(another life-saver!). The bottle is quite tall in comparison to some others I had around which I thought was interesting as all three I had in line were 30ml/ 1fl oz. Although this probably is just all to do with different shapes and widths of the bottles.

Sample Review: L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil

Hello everyone! Today I'm reviewing a sample I got from Marie Claire magazine.

It is the L'oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil

This is what it said on the little pouch:

From this, I wasn't quite sure how much to use as I couldn't really reuse it, yet I couldn't see why they'd put more than enough for once in a sample (I'm guessing the instructions were for the normal bottle). And well, '2 precious drops' isn't really a global measurement last time I checked?

In the end, I used all of it but focused more on the ends of my hair as I came to the end of the packet to avoid greasy hair (just in case). I used it after washing my hair and then let it air dry.

Wow. I was a little nervous that I might have to rewash it out, but its made a noticeably good difference in texture! My hair feels really smooth and for ages I couldn't stop running my fingers through it.

This is what my hair looked like after using it, though I don't think the pictures do the product justice.

After using this I am definitely considering purchasing the full size version of it. (Which is £8.49 at Boots)

(excuse my pajamas)

P.S because you're worth it ;)

The infinity lip saviour: Carmex Cherry Lip Balm

I've been wanting to write about this for so long and just haven't had the time. But first off I just want to say I'm very sorry I haven't posted anything for quite a while I have been super busy but will try and make some sort of schedule now that its coming up to going back to school!

So...this lip balm is my absolute FAVOURITE ever! And I'm amazed to say that it has lasted me almost FOUR YEARS! No, I haven't been using it every day since I got it and I did lose it for a while but in the last year or so I have been using it loads! I keep it in my pencil case and apply it when the teachers aren't looking(shh), its also been one of my favourite summer essentials which definitely deserves its place in my bag(unlike the empty sweet wrappers).

Appearance:
The outside of it is just a clean white tub with a yellow tin lid. On the lid it has a picture of a sun at the top and a cherry down the side. Admittedly, mine is very old and used and you can't really tell what some things are. But, overall the design looks very bright and summery(spf 15 too ;) ).

What's inside:
This one looks kind of a light yellowy colour and even with just the lid off its smells soooo delicious! I'm not even joking but when I first got this me and my friend would put it on our desk in school and just smell it(we're pretty weird haha). As well as looking nice and smelling good this makes your lips feel extremely smooth and soft. It says on the tin 'It soothes. It relieves. It moisturises.' and I would definitely agree!

So overall this is just a wonderful lip balm and if you're on the look out for a new one I'd get this one if I were you!

Disclaimers:
-I was not paid to write this and was not sent this by the company.
-I bought this with my own money.
