RIMMEL STAY MATTE FOUNDATION

I love love LOVE this foundation! I only bought it yesterday but I wore it for the whole day today. I applied it at 7:30am and now it is 18:40pm and I am still impressed with it. It lasted me a good nine hours which was really surprising to me. I got a tiny bit shiny within the last two hours but it wasn't bad at all. I tried going over it with a powder to see if that worked and it did to an extent but I wouldn't wear it any longer than 10 hours. Which is perfect for me because it lasted me from when I left for college to when I got home.

REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE

Ever since hearing about the beauty blender I have really wanted one because I had never used a sponge to apply my foundation. Obviously the beauty blender is super expensive and I could never bring myself to buy one especially since I have brushes that I can use. 

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO

Batiste dry shampoo is literally a life saver for me. I only started using it towards the end of last year and I don't know how it took me so long to try it. I have used the batiste dry shampoo for dark hair too but I prefer this one because I feel like the dark hair one leaves your hair looking nice but feeling dirty so I found that during the day I would panic if I ran my fingers through my hair because I would think it looked dirty because it felt it but when I checked in a mirror it still looked good. With this one though I feel like it makes my hair look great but also feel great and it also smells nice. The only downside to it is that it has a white cast which if fine as long as you rub it in properly.

NEW YORK COLOR / NYC

Today on my way home I picked up three things from the brand NYC. I've heard a lot about this brand on YouTube because of how it's very affordable but still good quality. I didn't know I could get NYC over here so I was quite surprised when I found it. I picked up a mosaic face powder, lipstain and mascara. I tried all three of them out for the first time today and I am really quite happy with them.

PRODUCTS I REGRET BUYING

1. RIMMEL SCANDALEYES MASCARA

I bought this a couple of months ago because I needed a new mascara and it was a decent price. The first time I tried it I found it was difficult to apply so I thought I just needed to get used to it. After trying it multiple times and hoping I would get used to it I gave up. I find that this mascara makes my lashes clump together, it's really hard to get them to separate, the brush is too big and I just wish I hadn't wasted my money on it.

MAYBELLINE BABY SKIN PORE ERASER

After all the hype about the Maybelline Baby Skin pore eraser I really wanted to try it out. I bought it in Boots for around 11euro, which I thought was a bit expensive but I wanted it so bad so I just got it.

ESSENCE EYESHADOWS

So I recently stumbled upon the brand essence, I don't know how I didn't know it before because it seems to be everywhere I look now that I do. I noticed the stand in a chemist one day so I had a look and seen that everything was really cheap. I didn't really have much hope for it since the prices were so low.

Colors left to right: strawberry ice cream, dance all night, get ready!, blockbuster, pop eye, skeye and sand, party all night.

REVLON COLORSTAY FOUNDATION

The Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation used to be my number one holy grail foundation. I bought it years ago and I absolutely loved it. Back then I didn't have any foundation brushes or anything like that so I just applied it with my hands.

GARNIER BB CREAM

Ok so I got the Garnier BB Cream miracle skin perfecter for combination to oily skin. I have seen so many good reviews on it so I really wanted to try it myself and so far I really do like it.
