For the past month I've been doing quite a few exams, therefore my exams have taken priority. However, I've now finished all my exams and i couldn't wait to get my hands on some new make up products I've been eyeing up for a while!
The first thing i knew i definitely wanted was their 10 hour tint gloss which is basically a lip stain in my books. Obviously i can't give a proper review as i only bought it today but I put it on my lips today around 1 o'clock and I've got to say it's still going strong at 7 o'clock now so i must admit i'm rather impressed!
I got it in the shade 160 - Forever Fuchsia, despite me testing every other colour there and debating for a while i came to the conclusion i needed to be brave for the summer.
It's a gorgeous deep fuchsia colour that stains the lips but without drying them out which i think is the real selling point for this product. I know i'm definitely going to be wearing this a lot this summer as i can apply it in the morning and i don't have to re-apply after every drink!
This was £6.99 which i didn't think was too bad considering the quality this product offers.
Then their dream matte powder started to catch my eye. I had been using the Natural Collection powder for some time now to get rid of the oily mess on my face and as much as it did the job at only £2 I still felt there were other powders out there longing for my love as sad as that sounds! I've decided to see what other powders are out there and compare them to my trusty natural collection powder and this was the first one on my list.
It comes in very sleek and lightweight packaging that would be easy to chuck in your bag to use during the day. When i swatched it in the shop i noticed that the consistency was much smoother than my previous powder so i'm very excited to see how this looks on the skin.
I got the lighter of the two shades in 02, Rose Ivory but to be honest i feel that these powders could be suitable for lots of skin tones as they seem to disappear onto the skin leaving only a matte finish.
It also comes with a mirror underneath the powder and a little applicator that i guess could come in handy when applying it on the go. However i doubt that i will use the little applicator very often as they can get a little unhygienic if you ask me.
This was £7.19 and the most expensive product i bought but i couldn't help myself as I've been eyeing this product for some time now and i thought it was about time to try it out.
Last but almost certainty not least, i picked up their dream touch blush on a whim last minute as i would have got it free from being the cheapest of the products.
The shade I bought was 02 - peach which is a bit different me as i normally stick to pink blushes so i went all out with this cream blush if you ask me. It's a very creamy product and i was very impressed with the initial consistency as it really does blend right away into your skin leaving a lovely sheen of colour of your skin.
This was £6.49 but i got it totally free, I can't argue with that!
These three products came to an amazing £14.19 which i was very pleased about considering how excited i am to try them and i would urge everyone who can get themselves to boots to go get your hands on some of the great deals they are currently offering, you wont be disappointed!
I have heard so many good things about so many Maybelline products lately, so I think I need to do some Maybelline shopping too :)
