Foundation purchase:

As  mentioned I have so many foundations I would love to try, and the next two on my list are these fab little purchases:


The first is the Maxfactor face finity all day flawless 3 in 1 foundation. This caught my eye a while ago, especially with it being 3 in 1- primer, concealer and foundation. Is this too good to be true? we shall find out! I got it in Light Ivory so hopefully it will be shade appropriate (unlike the Avon Ivory eek). It has SPF 20 in the formula too.

And the Rimmel Wake me up foundation. This has been around for so long, but I always decided against it because I have oily skin on the most part. I just really wanted to try it and couldn't resist the urge any longer! It comes in the shade Light Porcelain, how fab is that? should be a great shade for pale complexions. This also has an SPF of 15.

Once I have tried and tested these out you will be first to know my thoughts! Have you tried one or both of these foundations? were they a thumbs up or a thumbs down? opinions always welcome! See you all soon,

Elf eye primer review:

Hello I'm back again already! Lets get straight into it!


This is the mineral eyeshadow primer from ELF. I tried the cheaper version and really didn't like it as it did nothing for me at all. This is definitely better.

  • Its light in texture
  • feels like you have nothing on your eyelid when you apply it
  • I'm not sure it does all that much to make eyeshadow last longer or to stop it from creasing 
  • I tend to wear this on its own as a light concealer for my eyelid to conceal any redness or veins, it covers them enough when not wearing any eyeshadow. Only thing I'd say is it does crease a little when doing this, but if I rub my finger over it, its fixed easily!
  • its cheap and cheerful
I would give this a 6/10, I have used it almost everyday since I got it! Not bad at all really. I will be back with more hauls soon,

Baby skin primer review:

I'm back with this review as promised. Lets get cracking :)


About the product: 
  • on the front it says 'instant pore eraser'
  • it states its lightweight 
  • that its smooth and makes skin look poreless
  • and that its only for the use of adults
  • on the back it says that pores appear instantly erased
  • and that you can wear it alone or under makeup 

My thoughts about the product:
  • I had high hopes for this product with it being new and having so much attention on it recently
  • there are very mixed reviews out there, some people love it some people think its just an average primer. Its also been compared to higher brands, which I haven't tried so I cant comment on that
  • It feels very thick and heavy when you first squeeze it from the bottle onto your hand or fingers, but it does thin out and feel silky smooth when you spread it over the skin. It has a silicone feeling to it
  • its clear, there's no colour in it at all. There doesn't seem to be any smell/perfume so would be ok for sensitive skin
  • I wouldn't wear this alone without any makeup, as it does nothing for my bare skin. I have areas of red, large pores in areas (from the years of suffering from acne) and I just feel my skin is blotchy
  • Underneath makeup it feels nice, smooth and evens out the texture. But I really did not see any difference in the size of my pores, which are mainly on my cheeks, nose, forehead and some around my mouth. It definitely doesn't erase them so you cant see them. Maybe it would be more beneficial for someone with smaller pores that are less visible than mine
  • Makes my foundation apply much smoother
  • it provides a good base for my makeup, and seems to make it look fresher than it otherwise would throughout the day if I wore no primer at all
  • overall my pores don't look less visible, especially on my cheeks
  • I would rate this a 6/10 because it does prime the skin even though it doesn't seem to make a difference to my pores, which was a little disappointing
As I've said in recent posts, these reviews are just my personal thoughts. Everybody is different, things work differently for others. 

Superdrug has this on offer where you can buy one for £7.99 and  buy a second for half price.
has it worked for your pores?

Short and sweet Haul:

Hey guys! I got my delivery today so I'm going to do a super quick haul. I've recently done some quite large blog posts, I thought I'd keep this one short and sweet!


  1. I purchased the Olay ant-wrinkle nature fusion night cream. I've been using the day lotion for a while now, and I really like it. Every night without fail I moisturise my skin, so I thought why not get the matching night cream. 
  2. I also sent for the L'Oreal Skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution. I've been wanting to try this for some time now and have heard so many good things about it. It was on offer on Superdrugs website, as was the Olay night cream. Bargain! 
  3. And lastly the baby skin instant pore eraser primer by Maybelline. Obviously this is a new raved about product so I thought I must try it! This is also on offer where you can by two and get the 2nd half price. I just purchased one to try it out first.
Here's a snap of what the face cream looks like:  


Once I've used these products I will do a review on them. Looking forward to trying all three!

Catch you later,
