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

Makeup haul/review:


Hey guys, welcome back to another haul/review. Lets get started shall we!
I’ve been wanting to try maybelline baby lips for a while after hearing many positive reviews on them. I purchased the pink punch one, it smells yummy, and it is quite moisturizing on the lips, I’d love to purchase other flavours/colours (eyeing up the cherry version especially). Good enough to eat and I love the tint of colour it gives you. 8/10 *thumbs up*


The maybelline fit me foundation: I purchased this in 120 classic ivory, it was the lightest one there and I am quite fair. I tend to struggle finding a light enough colour that isn’t orange. I tried this yesterday and it is slightly orange and too dark unfortunately, but still wearable if blended and set with powder. With my skin type I quite matte shine controlled foundation, that is a decent coverage. This is in my opinion a lighter coverage and it left me looking shiny after a few hours, and I had to reapply powder + wore off by the end of the day around my T-zone.  Its not my fave foundation, but its use-able if worked with. I’d rate this a 4.5/10, as I have used worse and better foundations. 

stay matte by Rimmel, which I have in ivory: This was on offer when I picked it up, and what a steal! I didn't expect much as I have tried so many foundations with no joy, and I have tried one of their foundations before and really did not like it. This is slightly too dark, but its not orange like the maybelline fit me. It has a decent coverage and apply s really smooth, but a little goes along way as it is quite thick textured. Once set with powder this seemed to last quite well throughout the day, and I have used it a lot since. I would rate this a 8/10. The price is decent and it would suit teenagers, or anyone with oily skin. Awesome foundation!


For ages I have been eyeing up Barry M nail polishes/paints and took notice of the Gelly hi-shine nail paints ( I think its a G as it looks like it lol). I picked up dragon fruit as I've been looking for a pink just like it (since I lost a very similar colour a while ago). No matter what I do my nail polishes tend to chip straight away on the tip of my nails. Once applied this lasted a little longer than any I've tried before, which was a big bonus. Overall I am impressed and would rate a 8/10. And since I purchased this I bought a natural colour to wear for work.
