Apocalips!

Hey guys!

APOCALIPS! Such a great name. Such a great product to come out from Rimmel. Apocalips is basically in a tube, it looks like a lipgloss, BUT, this is the best thing, ready? It's not as glossy as a lipgloss, however it's not as strong as a lip stick. I (for some unknown reason) struggle a lot with wearing lip sticks due to the intensity of them (although I do blot, I still find it doesn't sit well) and I struggle with lipglosses because of the amount of shine that can come from applying them.
But these bad boys are great. I first heard about them from Zoella on her YouTube video (look her up zoella280390). She had done a haul video (unfortunately I can't remember what it's called) and she said how she had brought them. I'm pretty sure it was the next day that I saw them in Priceline for half price.

So as you do, I brought three! I brought 600 Nude Eclipse (the top one in the picture). As the name states, it's a nude. The second one is called 101 Celestial this is my favourite. It's a beautiful lip colour pink (if that makes sense at all!) It's an extremely good everyday lip colour. And the third one I brought was the 102 Nova, which is a bright pink. A great colour for when you go out.
The texture of these are really good. They feel smooth on the lips, and best thing is, they don't feel sticky. They kind of smell like cardboard/paper? Too me it's the lipstick sent because I find all lipsticks smell like that, but the smell just reminds me of cardboard/paper. Not really sure why. Haha, sorry guys.
They last a good while on your lips, which is great. Means I can be at work for 5 hours and not work about re-applying every half an hour.

Have you tried this product out? If so, do you like it? If not, why? And what you guys think about Rimmel? Good brand? I think so :) Leave me your comments below, I would love to know what you guys think.

Much love,

Concealer and Foundation

Hi Guys!

So, I have just gotten home from such a busy day. I am ridiculously tired!
Today I had work, which was not too bad, customers today were (I must admit) very lovely today and I managed to make budget - which I am extremely pleased about. After work, I had a work meeting and that didn't finish until 9:30PM! It was kind of difficult for me to go straight to the work meeting. I'm one of those people that love to first go home and relax for a bit before I do anything. For some reason I find work a drainer. But hey, I got to work hard for the money don't I? :)

Today I really want to tell you guys about a concealer that I absolutely love! I rave about this all the time to my friends because it is so good. Now first I'd like to say that I am not a make up artist (although I wish I was) and I am not trained in make up. If anything I self taught myself via YouTube.
But anyway, the concealer I love is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer.

My colour is number 20 in Sand Sable. This concealer is the best! It covers my dark circles and imperfections perfectly. It is defiantly one of my go-to if I ever just want to conceal anything when I can't be bothered wearing foundation. It just works so well. Even when I am wearing foundation, it still works really well. What's really good about this range of concealers, is that they also have a Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, so if you're worried that it may not go with your current foundation - never fear! Maybelline have it covered.
However, to be honest, I find that it doesn't matter. I am currently using the Rimmel Wake me Up foundation in number 103 True Ivory and I find that the Maybelline concealer still works really well with my current foundation routine. It also has an SPF 15, which is good.

In regards to the Maybelline Fit me Foundation, I love this foundation in the summer. I find it sits beautifully on the skin and gives you just the right amount of glow. It is defiantly my favourite foundation in the summer. This also has an SPF18, so a bit more protection against the sun than the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. My colour in this foundation is number 220.  

I really hope you found this helpful. If not let me know, or if you did also let me know :) I'd also love to hear what your favourite foundation/concealer is. Do you have a favourite? A particular one that you swear by? Please let me know, I'd love to read your comments.

Much love guys!
