Review: Match Perfection Concealer - Rimmel London

When hunting to find a concealer which was affordable and also the correct tone for me I came across Rimmel London's 'Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer'.

 

There aren't enough words to explain how much I love this product but I'm going to try and tell you anyway. For only around £6 in stores this is a bargain.

 

The tube design means that you can get every last drop out meaning it lasts longer and therefore your money goes further. It also has a brush at the end where it squeezes out, I like this as it means you can put it on your hand instead of spreading germs all across your face whilst trying to cover any blemishes or redness.

Here is a swatch of the '010 ivory' shade.

 



Left - before and Right - after

In the pictures above I have compared the before and after effect of this product. You can notice clearly the redness and colour imperfections around my eye and nose as well as a blemish on my chin have been covered up very well. I wouldn't say the coverage is heavy but definitely long wear.

 

Another great product from Rimmel and I strongly urge people to try this out for only £6.

 

What's your favourite concealer? Maybe you've tried this product out already? Let me know in the comments below.

Review: Ted Baker - Eyeshadow Palette

I received the 'Ted Baker - Can't Take My Eyes Off You' palette for Christmas and have really enjoyed using it for everyday looks for the past month.

At first sight, the packaging is slim, graceful and elegant. I'm not sure whether it's aimed at younger or older people but it definitely appeals to me and am sure it will appeal to all sorts of people.

 

 The palette comes with 8 different shades, ranging from browns to pinks to blues and greens, perfect for everyday use and maybe even a good starter kit for someone who is just getting into make-up?

All of the colours are really well pigmented but the brown/beiges are a bit lighter. However, I use these the most as they can blend to your desired intensity and are great for a smoky eye.

5 Swatches from the palette

Above, I have swatched 5 of the shades to show you how they turn up on the skin. Overall, a great beauty essential and every girl should have a palette like this.

Well done Ted Baker!

Review: Nails Inc. London - Motcomb Street

About a month ago I bought a copy of Glamour with a free full size sample of the Nails. Inc. London nail varnish (normally in shops for around £10). I thought I'd test it out properly before I gave it any type of review. So after constantly having this on my nails, here it is.

 

 

This nail varnish is a dark navy colour/black (not shown too well from these photos). The first coat is normally a bit patchy and generally turns out as a deep blue. However, when this dries and a second coat is applied the true colour comes out and it evens out.

Sorry about the dodgy photos, they don't do it much justice.

Pictured above are my nails with two coats applied. I find that for me this stays on for about 3 days without chipping, but even then it is very resistant to chipping.

I would love to try some of the other shades from Nails. Inc. and see how they compare to this one. Overall, I would purchase this product again even though it is a bit pricey. The coverage and pigmentation is amazing!

Have you tried a nail varnish from this company?

Review: Rimmel London - 1000 Kisses Lip Tint + Balm

I always love having a bright colour on my lips as it gives me a huge boost of confidence for whatever I do that day. When I saw that there was a cheap drugstore lip tint available I jumped at the chance to try it out for a mere £5.99 from Boots.

 
 


 I've been using this (The Rimmel London - 1000 Kisses Lip Tint + Balm) for a good couple of months now and personally, I think it's an absolutely brilliant product but have heard mixed reviews throughout the internet.

You do have to make sure that the tint is dry before applying the balm, this means that the tint won't rub off on the balm side of the stick. For me, I can apply the product at 8 in the morning with a bright red finish but find it worn 4 hours later at about 12. Sometimes I apply another coat but for the majority of the time this isn't practical for me.

Overall, I am very happy with this product and it lives up to the 'transfer proof' guarantee most of the time. Great bargain!

Let me know in the comments if there's any other lip tints or products you would recommend me.
