Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base



Hello Guys, This is my first Bobbi Brown product (eek) and I love it. I was given a sample of this from my mum and since it was only a small pot it went pretty quick but just from using that small sample I noticed that my make-up stayed on my skin a lot longer and that my skin was moisturised. Once the sample ran out I had to go and buy the product and I was willing to pay no matter how large the price tag was and this face base was £36.00. For starters I love the packaging of this product like most Bobbi Brown products it has a sophisticated look about it. I particularly love the design on the lid of the product which is embossed, also I like how the product is in clear glass which makes the product also look more expensive.








'Rich in feel, but never greasy, this advanced oil-free, face formula, with Shea Butter, instantly hydrates, softens, and cushions skin. Carrot Extract and Vitamin A Complex help minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamins C and E help protect against environmental damage. Grapefruit and Geranium fragrances leave a light, uplifting scent on skin.'


I used this product every morning before applying my foundation as I have noticed that this face base helps my make-up stay on my skin for longer and its also easier to apply the foundation evenly. When applying this product the formula isn't like a liquid primer it is a solid cream so you apply it like you would a day cream, it also sinks into your skin quickly so it doesn't leave your skin greasy for when your going to apply your foundation. The product fragrance has got grapefruit and geranium in and I have to say that it smells amazing, I love applying this to my skin as it smells fresh and full of goodness.


Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer






You've probably seen lots of other blog posts about this concealer or the matching foundation as there was a large hype about them a while ago these blogs were the reason I chose this concealer. 

I've got shade Ivory which was one of the lighter shades that you can choose from. Since this concealer is part of the wake me up range to do more than just cover up your blemishes and dark circles, this product is meant to give your eyes a more awake look especially in the morning, I can't tell the difference but it does cover up blemishes and dark circles well. This product is a liquid formula that isn't too thick so you are able to build up the amount of coverage you wont though it doesn't look 'cakey'. This concealer states to give a radiant glow   and when you look closer at the product there are the tiniest specks of what looks like glitter though when its put on the skin you can't notice them. 




This concealer hides the blemishes and dark circles well and is a life saver when stubborn spots break out. I also use this product under my eyes to give more coverage than my foundation. This product is £5.99 which is worth paying, I bought mine when this range was on offer which is a good thing to look out for in Boots as they do a lot of offers. 

Once this product runs out I'll defiantly be buying another one.

Topshop Lipstick in Innocent and Nail polish





Hi Guys I was in town and was looking for a nude coloured nail polish and a new lipstick that wasn't too expensive so whilst I was looking in Topshop I found exactly what I wanted. As I have said in a blog post about Topshop nail polishes that I love the quality and the price isn't bad for what you are getting and with the amount of colours to choose from I was able to pick a colour that is a nudeish colour. ( The Topshop nail polish review is HERE



I've bought a lipstick from Topshop before in the colour Brighton Rock but this colour really didn't suit me as it was too bright so I gave it to a friend. Even though I had only ever used the lipstick twice I was really impressed with the way it felt on my lips and how matte it was and I'm a lover of matte lipsticks. I wanted a natural coloured lipstick and one that wasn't too bold so I picked Innocent which is a nice neutral colour, this lipstick was £8 which I am willing to pay for the quality of these lipsticks.  I love this lipstick as its matte which I like and that this lipstick is smooth to apply onto the lips and has a slight nourishing effect on the lips.
