Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation

Claims

·    Ultimate wear foundation provides up to 16 hours of flawless skin 

·     Lasting Perfection Foundation will take you from dawn to dusk and back again, with no need for reapplication

·     SPF20 to keep skin safe in the sun

·     Transfer proof and water resistant

Reality 

· A medium coverage which can be sheered or built up depending on application and blends effortlessly. 

· Gives a satin finish but can suffer from oils, so I prefer to powder the t-zone.

· It REALLY does last, and it lasts well! I love the finish of this as it doesnt stick to or exaggerate dry skin and its still going strong after 8 hours.

· The only downfall of this product is the shade range. I have Vanilla (1) which would usually be far too dark for my cool toned pale skin but as I have developed a slight tan it matches my skin. They really need to add lighter and darker shades to the range.

· Added bonus of SPF 20, great for summer.

CK Calvin Klein Lipsicks - 108 Naivete, 101 Oasis, 104 First Kiss

I recently purchased 3 Calvin Klein Lipsticks online. Originally these were high end but I believe they were discontinued last year and are now being sold on various websites - I picked these up for the bargain sum of £2.99 each. The lipsticks come in beautiful shiny black cases with CK printed on the top and white outer boxes. The only downside to these is thre omission of an SPF which means applying a base is necessary in sun exposure.

I am loving the quality of these. However, online swatches are making the buying process a bit hit & miss but I definitely intend on buying more.

CK Delicious luxury creme lipsticks - 108 Naivete, 101 Oasis, 104 First Kiss

No. 108 Naivete is pinked tinged nude. Creamy finish, can be applied sheerly or built up to an opaque sheen which makes my lips feel moisturised. My favourite of the bunch.

No. 101 Oasis. A shimmering peach tinted beige. The finish is once again lovely, however I find the colour hard to wear against my pale skin and slightly dryer in texture than the 108. Becomes a pale beige nude once applied over concealed lips. 

No. 104 First Kiss. A purple toned medium pink. A safe colour that has the softest shimmer an extremely creamy finish. Love this one too.

E.L.F Shielding Hydro-Tint SPF 15 - Ivory & Light Beige

I've been searching for a good tinted moisturiser for a while and tried quite a few along the way (expensive ones & lower end). I am please to report that this is one  of the best I've come across.


Price - £1.50
Amount - 12g
Shades - 7
Availability - www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

The eyeslipsface.co.uk isn't the best for swatches so I looked around various blogs to try and get a more accurate idea of what the shades are really like.

Ivory & Light Beige

Ivory is a very pale slightly yellow toned shade that when blended becomes even paler.

Light Beige is a more rosy toned colour that is slightly darker.

I love both of these, the ivory suits my very fair skin even on my palest of days (it really is very very pale) and both give enough coverage to even out my slightly rosy cheeks and can be built up in areas where I need a little more evening out.

Although the Light Beige looks darker when first applied it blends in to become a very natural shade that gives my skin a translucent glow.

The finish is a nice natural sheen, not  a glossy or sticky mess that you can get with other tinted moisturisers and lasts pretty well. I had this on for 6 hours around the house and had minimal fading and had the added bonus of very soft skin once I took it off.

It's worth mentioning that whilst the SPF is great, I wouldn't rely on it solely unless you're not going out or are going to reapply every few hours.

Overall I am so so happy with these, I finally have a tinted moisturiser that I feel confident in and for only £1.50. I plan to get a few more of these as the tubes are only small 12g, but you only need a little and I want to try out some darker shades for summer.

10/10 

UPDATE : Ivory, light beige & rosy beige applied & blended.

E.L.F Luscious Liquid Lipstick - Baby Lips

Let me start off by saying that I love liquid lipsticks, but unfortunately this isn't one.

Baby Lips is a sheer nude pink dotted with light pink shimmer. Now when I say sheer, I really do mean it! Hopefully you can tell from the swatches.

The fact that this is a sheer 'lipstick' doesn't mean that it's not good. The formula is very nice, it goes on evenly and you can build up the colour somewhat. It's not sticky, which I love but also means that this isn't a laster but the thing I found really great was that it truly does make my usually very dry lips feel moisturised. 

The Liquid Lipsticks come in a click pen with sponge applicator and you get 0.05oz/1.5g for £1.50

Overall I would reccomend this to anyone who likes a sheer, glossy coverage on their lips and who can benefit from the moisturising properties.
