I'm finally back with a review, sorry it's been so long! I wasn't planning on writing a new foundation review however this new skin tint from Maybelline appeared in my local Boots, so I had to try it! It costs £12.99 normally however it's on offer right now and I was able to use my points anyway, so I'm basically trying it for free.
I've tried a couple of skin tints and tinted moisturisers in my time and I have to say this new product from Maybelline is my favourite of them all so far and I'll explain why throughout this post. The Maybelline Super Stay Up To 24HR Skin Tint Foundation+ Vitamin C (I know, the title is long!) promises to give skin a natural weightless finish, buildable skin like coverage, is sweat resistant whilst also being both vegan and infused with vitamin C which all sounds very promising and I'm happy to share that these claims are true.
Compared to other skin tints and tinted moisturisers this new Maybelline one has the highest coverage, which is great for us who have spots, redness and marks including myself. This skin tint also dries down to a natural matte finish and when you add powder on top it locks the product down for even longer. I was so surprised but also relieved that it lasted as long as it did on my oily to combination skin. It lasted me all day, so around 10 hours with a bit of powder on top however I have a feeling that it could of lasted longer! It comes in 20 flexible shades and I chose to pick up shade 03 as it was a light but neutral shade, therefore being not too yellow or pink in its undertone.

What it looks like on.
I hope you enjoyed my review, let me know your thoughts.

L'Oreal have finally released a new line of their Color Riche lipsticks- the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Shine lipsticks. It has been years since they've brought out a moisturising, shiny lipstick; the last time they brought a line out was when they had the Rouge Caresse range around 2010/2011 which I loved, but sadly that line got discontinued about 5 or so years ago, so I feel like these are their replacement in a way. However are they actually the same lipsticks with the same formula but just repackaged? Well if you want to find out keep on reading!
The packaging of these lipsticks is very chic looking actually in a clear casing with the lipstick being held in a silver bullet tube. I like how you can see the exact colour you are getting inside the lipstick just from looking at the top of the clear lid- that is genius in my opinion! The lid snaps on and off like on the other Color Riche lipsticks, so the lid won't fall off while the lipstick is floating around in your handbag or makeup bag which is great.
Now onto the actual lipstick itself. I bought it in the shade 642 #MLBB which I'm guessing stands for my lips but better, which would describe this shade perfectly as it is a nude shade. In particular this is more of a peachy nude shade, which is not something that I would normally go for however it actually suits me which quite surprised me!
As you can guess from the name of the lipstick, the formulation of this lipstick is very moisturising and slippy but in a good way as it feels like it's nourishing your lips as you are wearing it. The only downside to that is that this lipstick doesn't last very long compared to the original Color Riche lipsticks or even the previous Rouge Caresse lipsticks, so they win on longevity compare to the Riche Shine lipsticks. Another thing to note on these lipsticks is that it does have a fragrance to it which you can sort of taste for a bit once you've applied it onto your lips- it's sort of a synthetic grapefruit scent (I think) but it's not unpleasant, just something worth noting if you are a bit sensitive to products with scents in them. Overall I really do like these lipsticks and I would love to buy a few more from the line. There's a really pretty coral one which reminded me of the Rouge Caresse lipstick in Dating Coral which was my favourite lipstick when I was 15/16 and it lasted me about 3 years even though I wore it a lot, so I'd love to get my hands on that one especially. Let me know if you have tried these lipsticks yet, I'd love to know what you think of them. I'll leave you with some more photos including a swatch of the shade to help you to decide whether you'd like to buy this particular shade or if not then maybe another one.
Thank you so much for reading my latest post
All the best

It's been a while since I've done a proper beauty haul. Apart from picking up one or two makeup products while I pop to Boots to buy the essentials, I haven't actually bought that many new makeup items. About 3 weeks ago I think FeelUnique had a sale on lots of items from all of the beauty categories that they sell, so I couldn't help but take a look myself and luckily I found some really great products at some brilliant prices, so I'm gunna talk about what I bought while also giving you a mini review of each product (if I've used it yet). So lets get started!
One of the first brands I had a look through was Maybelline as I've been obsessed with their lipsticks recently, so I had to buy a backup of the Maybelline Colorsensational in Nude Embrace. I actually wrote a review of this recently as it's been my most worn lipstick of the year so far. The reason why I love it is because it's the perfect brown/beige nude lipstick for my skin tone (and it would suit many people too) also it's in a matte formula so it lasts for a long time on the lips too. For this reason I bought another shade from the range called Melted Chocolate which is more of a proper milk chocolate shade, so if you love brown lipsticks you'll love this too.

One of my favourite mascaras is the Maybelline Lash Sensational so I wanted to try the waterproof version which comes in the same packaging but with light blue writing on it. So far I've been loving the waterproof version of this mascara. It does exactly the same as the original as it curls, volumises and gives so much legnth and definition to the lashes whilt also providing the blackest of black mascara you can get. It's been so useful recently as the UK has gotten quite humid recently, even when it hasn't been that hot like it was a few weeks or so ago.

Real Techniques is one of my most used brush brands other than Zoeva and I've been wanting to try the Real Techniques Powder Brush for a while now so I'm glad that I've got my hands on it. I haven't tried it yet but it's massive so it should be a good brush just from looking at it.

Another mascara that I've wanted to try for a while has been the Maybelline Great Lash mascara as it's been a makeup classic for many years (it came out in the 1970s), so I decided to buy it. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with it actually. It does give your lashes a good lengthening effect, but that's about it really. It doesn't create enough volume or curl for me and it also does smudge on my upper eye area, so this is a product that I wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

I've been trying out a lot of different concealers recently and one that lots of beauty lovers go on and on about it the Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye Concealer. I bought it in the Neutralizer shade which gives a more yellow base to the concealer, but for me this works as I have very, very dark under eye circles and unfortunately as mine are hereditary I can never get rid of them, so a concealer for under the eyes is a must for me. This one is great as it covers really well so you can't see any veins or grey areas but it doesn't look cakey which can happens sometimes if you buy the wrong type of concealer. I'm really impressed with this concealer so I definitely recommend this for sure.
