Rimmel London has introduced the New Volume Shake Mascara – A breakthrough shakeable mascara for beautiful clump-free volume, and I am here to tell you all about it! I get really excited when new makeup lands on my doorstep. I enjoy playing around with different looks, and discovering the best looks that suit me.

 

 

This new Rimmel London mascara features a first-to-market patent-pending shaker system that refreshes the volumising formula whenever it’s needed.

Here is the full product description –

This Volume Shake mascara gives lashes a beautiful Clump-free volume, from first to last use!If you hate to throw away half-used mascara because it dires out or simply isn’t as good as new, this volumizing black mascara is perfect for you.

 

 

I have used it a few times now; here are my thoughts –

I have fallen in love with Estee Lauder products. I tried the Double Wear Foundation some months ago, and I fell completely in love with the product. It is the best foundation I have ever used, and I have used loads. So when my Mary Kay powder finally finished, I decided to try the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Powder and I am glad I did.

Here is the product description:

8-hour staying power. Flawless all day. This worry-free powder makeup stays fresh, looks natural and won’t change colour, even through nonstop activity. Glides on silky smooth, stays on comfortably, without feeling dry. For a continuously flawless look, without touch-ups.

I went for the rich cocoa shade, same shade as my foundation. Here are my thoughts:

 

PROS

  1. It is long-lasting. It stayed on all day. I didn’t have to touch-up.
  2. It gives great coverage and natural finish.
  3. I love the compact package.
  4. It is readily available in various stores and in various shades, which is great.
  5. A little goes a long way.

CONS

None. Some may see it as pricey at £33 but I see it as value for money.

I apply my powder with a powder brush as you can see and the flawless matte finish is second to none. I am loving this Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Powder SO MUCH! Estee Lauder is gradually becoming the makeup brand to beat at the moment. I think the brand is slowly knocking MAC off the no 1 spot. Do you agree? It is a more expensive brand but many are happy to cough out that bit extra for quality. I know I am.

Have a fabulous weekend.

Product Review: Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil

Product Review Urban Decay Concealer Pencil Image

I went in search of a concealer pencil some weeks ago, and I came across this Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil. The whole idea of having a concealer pencil is to enable me apply my concealer quickly and on the go if needed. I got this beauty at Debenhams, and I have used it quite a lot now.

Here is what Urban Decay has to say about this product:

Hide dark circles and blemishes with our creamy formula that dries matte and stays put. Because it’s a pencil, it’s easy to apply with precision. A concealer in pencil form equals precise application, and less mess-no brush, no dipping your finger into a pot, or squeezing a dollop onto a sponge. Dot on tiny blemishes, or shade in large problem areas (like redness around the nose and chin). The creamy formula blends easily, then dries down to a smudge-free matte finish.

Here are my thoughts on this concealer:

PROS

  1. I love the shade. I got mine in shade ATF, and it suits my skin perfectly.
  2. It is so easy to apply, with a lot less mess than when I do use a liquid concealer.
  3. It is super affordable and accessible at £14 at Debenhams, House of Fraser, Boots, and many other stores.
  4. It blends in quickly and leaves a matte finish which I love.
  5. It is long-lasting. It stays on all day.
  6. It is perfect for highlighting, and great for under eyes.
  7. I love the light and creamy texture.
  8. It has good full coverage. It covers all blemishes, spots and other skin imperfections.
  9. It is a vegan, cruelty free product.
  10. I love the packaging. I think it is so pretty.

CONS

  1. Be careful not to apply too much pressure when using the pencil so the tip does not break.

Overall, I really like the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil, and I will definitely be buying it again.
