Rimmel VoxBox!

Hey there!

I wanted to share with you about my latest VoxBox that I got free through Influenster... I was so excited when this came through the post (It was my first one!), I had been really looking forward to trying their foundation in particular.

A lot of foundations I have tried recently have been fairly heavy and have not made my skin feel very fresh or natural so when I first used Rimmel's Lasting Finish Foundation, I was sooooo happy!
It has an interesting applicator like a lipgloss wand (It probably has a proper name, sorry) which actually makes it so much easier to apply.
The foundation itself really is very lasting! It doesn't clog my skin at all and it gives a gorgeous finish. I am so happy with it.

I also got their concealer which I do really like, but wasn't quite so excited about. I like the actual product when applied very much, however I feel like the sponge applicator didn't dispense the concealer very well sometimes and so made it hard to use.

Two products were included within the package as an extra... One was a beautiful Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade, Vintage Pink which I actually already own (I love it so much!) it's such a pretty and unique colour, it has a purple tone but not too much, helping it to be a great everyday/workwear shade. I would definitely recommend it!
The second was their Sculpting Palette which includes a highlighter, bronzer and blush, it's a nice set actually and is good to have everything in one. They are all really nice colours too so I have been using them all daily! (I'm a bit of a newbie to highlighters, so I approve of this!)

So that's my review of my Rimmel products within my VoxBox! I have been really happy with each of these and incorporate them into my daily makeup looks. The only thing I am not so keen on is the fact Rimmel test on animals :( I have just started to become more and more aware of this and so from now on will make sure I look out for the non cruelty to animals symbol <3

Let me know what you think and if you've tried any of these products! Also if you have any questions about Influenster then feel free to ask away :)

Something You – Autumn 2015 Lip Shades

Seeing as it is now definitely Autumn (Although it is lovely and sunny today!) I thought I would do a seasonal blog post and post something for you. My favourite lip colours and shades for the Fall!

 I have chosen my four favourites, I will run you through them below:

Bourjois (Rosewood Pearl) – I have had this lipstick for a little while and it is a really nice shade to wear. I feel like you don’t have to be too daring to wear this shade and it goes with a lot of makeup looks which is great! It is also more moisturising than some lipsticks which is important for when it starts to get colder :)

L’Oreal (Place Vendome) – I was given this lipstick for a present which was lovely! I think it is a beautiful colour :) Normally I don’t like red lipsticks because a lot are too bright or they just don’t suit me, but I feel like this is better because it has slightly darker tones and gives a beautiful colour when applied.

Rimmel (Amethyst Shimmer) – If you want to add a bit of colour to your look, this is a great lipstick to go for. It is fabulous for the transition between Summer and Winter because it’s not too bright (like something you might wear in the Summer) but still provides a lovely pop of colour for your lips with a really sophisticated tone :)

No7 (Under the Sun) – Finally I have chosen this lovely lipstick shade. It pretty much sums up Autumn to me. It has really rich, coppery, earthy tones and I think it is beautiful on. Again, as with all of the shades I have chosen, it is not too bright and will make your lips look absolutely gorgeous!

Let me know what you think, tell me if you have other favourites for Autumn, I would love to hear from you :)

All the best

New Blog!

I have started so many blogs over the years! I think I get too excited at the beginning and then get stuck for post ideas…

I’m not going to do that this time though and if anyone reading wants to help me keep going, then you would be most welcome! So what I’m really asking, is for any ideas, suggestions or requests for posts.

Until then I will just be posting reviews of my favourite products, maybe some tutorials and posts like that :)

I really hope you will like them and find them interesting! I am looking forward to sharing this blog with you.

All the best,
