Miss Sporty so matte foundation review:

Hey guys, I thought I'd get this up asap as have other things to do today. Busy bee, and I could easily spend all day messing around on here. Lets get cracking.

Here's an example of how you can control the size of the pump and what the consistency is like.

About the product:

• It states it lasts up to 14 hours
• contains vitamins A,C & E
• dermatologist tested for your skin type
• gives a flawless and healthy looking complextion
• controls shiny zones and and provides a matte effect
• lightweight texture which doesn't clog pores allowing skin to breath
• transfer proof
• soft and smooth feeling on the skin
• helps protect your skin from daily ravages due to the added vitamins and anti oxidants
• provides perfect balanced skin under any circumstances 
• non comedogenic for your skin type
• the bottle contains 27.3ml of product

What I think about the product:

• I absolutely love this, I got it in ivory. This isn't orange on my skin at all and its a light shade which is hard to find considering my paleness lol
• it feels really smooth and soft on the skin, feels lovely
• not sure about it lasting 14 hours, but it does last ages
• it helps to keep my shine at bay
• it has a good coverage, doesn't feel heavy or gloopy on the skin
• the bottle contains a pump, which can easily be controlled to get the desired amount. I manage to get small pumps and large pumps depending on how much I need
• with it containing 27.3ml its slightly smaller than the average foundation, but it makes up for that in price at only £3.49. That is an absolute steal! I picked mine up at superdrug
• I definitely prefer this foundation with the babyskin primer underneath, it makes it go on silky smooth
• Actually really excited about this product as its so good and very cheap.Will definitely be repurchasing time and time again. Would really recommend it and if it didn't work out for you there's no big loss price wise. Doesn't break the bank (which is always a plus). So impressed and would give this a 9/10 for sure! 

These are just my personal thoughts on the product, and it worked well for me. Have any of you tried it? if so let me know your thoughts down below in the comments

Beauty haul:

Hey guys! I've been away for a few days (on a little break/getaway) and I'm back with some goodies! I couldn't help but splurge a bit..

So I popped into Superdrug and Boots, and decided I'd treat myself (why not? lol).

• As you know I've recently tried the L'Oreal micellar water, so I wanted to try the Garnier version as this has twice as much product for the price! Stay tuned for a review on that very soon.
• I purchased the tangle teezer after years of debate as at around £10 I kept giving it a miss, but its better late than never eh! 
• I came across the so matte perfect stay by miss sporty, as I have used products before and really liked them. At £3.49 this is an absolute steal (we all know how much foundations can cost). 
• Also picked up the miss sporty studio lash eye liner which I'm excited to try out
• Again with the miss sporty trend I'm having, I decided to get the lash millionaire all in 1 mascara- I love love love miss sporty mascaras, so it was a must!
• Ive tried a baby lips before in pink punch, so I thought I'd try another in peach kiss
• for a while I've been wanting to try the Rimmel apocalips lip lacquer, so I picked it up in big bang
• sticking with the lip theme I thought I'd give MUA  ago (tried a few things before) and decided on the out there plumping lip gloss in candy pink
• and last but not least the boots tea tree and witch hazel spot wand- I love the tea tree and witch hazel range and with having spot prone skin they work a treat! 

I will review these products as soon as I feel I can give them a fair trial + reviews coming up from products I have already featured. 

See you all very soon

Beauty bag part 2-Lips:

I'm back again with part 2, and this time its all about the lips. Not every lipstick/lip product I use is included, but most of my go to items.

So here we go!

First up we have a Rimmel lipstick from the moisture renew range: The colour is 320 funtime fuchsia. Its quite a dark, vibrant lip colour- I tend to go for a more out there dramatic lip. The colour is definitely not understated or natural looking by any means- & has a shimmer to it. ( There will be swatches at the bottom of this page). It has quite a strong taste and scent to it. I'd say this was more night time/evening, but I do wear it during the day if I feel like being vibrant. In terms of moisture, it does have enough to keep your lips from drying out. This probably lasts the longest on the lips out of all the lipsticks in this post.  7/10.

Barry M lip paint in 129: This is a lilac colour and has a very creamy substance. I'm not sure if this colour suites me or not, so I tend to wear it less than any of the other colours in this collection. With having pale skin I'm not convinced it does me any justice, or just washes me out. Although I have seen it on pale skins before, and it has looked quite nice, so maybe its just me. For some reason this is more creamy textured than any of the other lip paints I have tried, and often melts really easily. In fact this broke off whilst typing this review up. Its really moisturising, has a nice sheen, but with the texture being so creamy its not the best in terms of longevity. 5/10.

Barry M lip paint in 155: I like this better than the lilac version. Its a nice soft pink, and I wear this on my natural days to add a pop of colour without being too over the top. Yet again it has a creamy substance, but not as much as the Lilac one. I haven't had any trouble with this melting and breaking off. Even though its moisturising, if you have dry or cracked lips it really shows when you apply it. I tend to do a lip scrub, and moisturise my lips before putting it on if my lips aren't the best. I also have a lip paint in red, which is my favourite, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. The staying power isn't that bad, but you do need to reapply. I'd rate this a 7/10.

Miss sporty perfect colour lipstick in 038 I love: I really do love this lipstick. Its a unique pink colour,
cant really put my finger on it. When applied it just melts on to the lips making them feel smooth and moisturised. It has a watermelon scent/taste to it, which I personally don't mind. This is quite bold but still subtle enough for me to wear during the day. I guess its a love it or hate it colour. 8/10.

If you have read my review on the Ted Baker gift set, you will know that these two beauties came with it. I have done a review on these already, but I thought I would include them so you can get a better look at the colours. The darker colour is definitely bold and not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it as a winter colour. I like clashing my pale skin with dark or vibrant colours. They don't last very long on the lips and need to be reapplied frequently, but I don't mind.

I thought I would throw this one in for good measure. I received this one in my last Ted Baker set, and have used it a lot since. As you can see its worn down and the writing has rubbed off.

Swatches

Top left: the first two are the Ted Baker lip crayons I recently got in a gift set. The next two are the Barry M lip paints.
Bottom left: The first one is Rimmel and next is miss sporty. Last but not least is the Ted Baker one that I got for Christmas 2012.

There are many more lipsticks that I would love to try, but these are just a handful I use regularly. I'm hoping my skincare order will have been delivered within the next few days. Once it gets here I will be sure to post a haul. Thank you for your time.
