I am now back into full swing since the Easter break, work is busy and picking up as the weeks go on, it's very unexpected but great, hopefully news of my business will travel quickly :)
Early last week I picked up some beauty products as I was in boots the had 3 for 2 I was running low on foundation so I thought why not. I picked up a loreal true match foundation in the shade r2 vanilla rose, in the shop as always it looked a perfect match but when I got home it is a little dark however I still have a little of my revlon photo ready so I mixed a tiny amount in and bam! Perfect shade. On first impressions (when used alone) it has a lovely texture which really seems to work in synergy with your skin, it is sheer to medium coverage but is so light you could easily build it to full coverage with out it caking. So far so good, I have reached for it every time I have used foundation since I purchased it and (I use a smidge of powder through the T zone) it lasts all day. This definitely gets a thumbs up from me and I will repurchase.
Next was a maybeline colour tattoo 24hr in the shade pink gold, this is extreamly shimmery so
wouldn't use it in winter and so far have used it as a base for my eyeshadow only. I'm not blown away by this but am looking to purchase a couple of different shades as I think it may be the fact it is a little too shimmery as a shadow for my liking, I am going to experiment a little more with this and report back but it seems to last well, althought 24hrs I'm not sure about. When I have had a play I will do an in depth review with some pics.
Last but not least from my boots shop, I picked up a loreal glam shine gloss. Let me start this by saying I don't go out to get glosses as a rule, I find them gloopy, sticky and they tend to dry out my lips but, a long while ago I had a loreal water shine gloss in a light, sheerish, pinky colour and it was amazing, hydrating, smelt gorgeous, everything I want in a lip product but I have scoured the universe and could find it no more :( so I bit the bullet and went for a glam shine in pink moon, well I'm not sure it's exactly the same but it's near as damn it. I love this it's very pigmented so you really don't need much, the texture is balm like, the smell is lovely. I literally have nothing bad to say about it I want more, unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees and I have a whole lot more that I brought this month so I will have to wait but all in all boot was a winner for me this month.
Whilst I was away I went into the local super drug and picked up an MUA ultimate eyebrow kit, and a Barry M telly high shine nail paint in sugar apple. I'm still trying these out but as first impressions go I like the brow kit, it's a tiny bit warm but for spring/summer I think you can get away with it, it's handy has a little mirror, tweezers, a brush which isn't great but ok for touch ups and a brow gel, all for about 4 quid, I think at that price you can't complain. The nail gel lay is an amazing colour when you have enough coats on, it is very sheer even after 2 coats which when you are a busy mum, or just busy in general it becomes an evening long process just to do your nails, again with this product I'm going to try it out some more and report back.
I also went to my local pharmacy and purchased some hair products, and tesco to buy hair products, the hair product junkie will have to be a series of posts I think.
Finally I went a little mad on an ELF haul, most products are to add to my pro kit I must say, but still did I need it all?!? Maybe not, theses are still to arrive. Also I registered a while ago at latest in beauty when looking at beauty boxes, I don't pay a subscription but do get emails and this month there were 2 boxes I liked the look of so I got both each also in the post. I'm going to have plenty to put on my new you tube channel.
My poor husband has the patience of a saint to put up with my random beauty spend ups then endless rambling about products that I insist is reaserch for my beauty business even though he knows half
the time it's not.
Lots of love
