Maxfactor Facefinity all day flawless Foundation Review

Hello Everyone, So a little while ago, i did a video on the maxfactor facefinity all day flawless foundation review on my youtube channel. I thought I might as well put the video on here so everyone has the ability to see my review whether you go on youtube or search on blogs.

Anyway this foundation is pretty amazing and it nearly beats my fave Revlon colorstay foundation which is my all time favourite foundation. Click on the video below to see why this nearly beats the Revlon foundation :)

October Glossybox - DIY Beauty

This months Glossybox is all about having a cosy night in and treating yourself to a 'home spa experience' since October has been pretty rubbish for weather lately. Also its breast cancer awareness month, so Glossybox is supporting the breast cancer care by donating the money they make from this box.




As usual it comes in the nice pale pink box with their black logo on the front. Inside the box after I opened it up, I found four products instead of five which is a bit annoying.

Anyway the first product I picked up was the Dermalogica 3 step day and night kit. I have heard of Dermalogica and always wanted to try something from their range because their brand is very well known. In this kit, there is a cleanser, toner and moisturiser and it is for problem skin such as blemishes and acne. I have blemishes and I think this will be brilliant in controlling the blemishes and hopefully stop them from appearing on my face. This kit is £12 from cleanstart.dermalogica.com/uk/ ,

The second product I picked up was the Anatomicals Don't Just Clean It Woman, Scrub It. I love the name of this product, find it quite funny and catches the eye. This is a body scrub with a pink grapefruit scent in a long tube and is 75ml. This is quite a big sample which is brilliant because I find having bigger samples means you can try it out properly. I wanted another body scrub since my another one is nearly running out and this sounds right up my street.

The third product I picked up was the Skinetica Anti-Blemish Solutions. This solution helps to clear blemishes and any problems on the skin and should start to see the results in 2-3 days. They also claim its kind to skin with no side effects. To use this product, all you have to do is put some of the solution on a cotton pads and wipe it over the face without rinsing the product off.

The last product is by Yves Rocher France and I have a lipstick in 'Framboise' which is a bright red colour. Im not a big fan of red lipsticks because I dont like having bright lipsticks on and it might make me look washed out with pale skin. Its a full size product with £14.50 which is more than the box is worth.My camera would not focus on the lipstick but its just a normal red lipstick.

Overall this is a very good box for me this month and I would use most of the products apart from the lipstick. I cant wait to try the blemish products since blemishes can be a big problem for me. But very happy with this box.

Nails of the week - 7th October 2012

This might be a new blog post that I might do every week about the nail polish that I am wearing that week. So this weeks nail polish is by Models Own. I recently bought 6 polishes from them when they did their half price sale on everything on their website. I took advantage of that sale and bought 6 polishes. The one I am wearing in the picture below is  Mystic Mauve. Mystic Mauve is part of their champagne collection which was released ages ago. It is a nice Purple/Lilac/Mauve colour and has a nice sheen to it. The polish was very good quality because it only took one coat to make it look like the bottle colour and covered the whole nail perfectly.


I then put a glitter coat over Mystic Mauve which was Boogie Nights. This is another Models Own nail polish and its from their newest collection 'Mirrorball'. The polish has got purple, blue and multi colour glitter particles in different shapes and sizes. I love this nail polish but its quite tricky trying to get the glitter to stay on the nail and to make the glitter even on each nail to not make it look weird.


Overall love this combo Mystic Mauve and Boogie Nights. You can get Models Own on their website and in Boots online and instore.

  • Whats in my tenerife travel skincare/beauty/random bag
  • Tenerife experience and what I did

M&S Candles - Fresh Rose and Bloom

I have never really been into candles but recently I went into M&S and saw these candles. They are soo pretty because the container that holds the candle is made of glass and has a beautiful flower detailing going all around the glass.

It makes the glass look more interesting rather than just having a plain glass container. The container will only hold the small tealight candles since its the right size for the a tealight candle.

The candle itself smells amazing. I have two different ones in Fresh Rose and Bloom. I can smell these in my room and gives my room a nice scent. Its not overpowering but not a weak smell. Just right really.

Anyway they smell amazing, however they can be a bit tricky to light but I usually tip the candle to the side and it usually lights within 5 seconds. The candles are meant to burn for 4 hours each, so quite a good time for a small candle.

They are really nice and pretty in the dark and really good quality for £3.50.

You can get these in M&S now for £3.50 each.

A Very Cute Owl Make-up Bag From Marks And Spencer

When I saw this on a website the other day, I just had to make a post about it on my blog. This is such a cute make-up bag. I love owls and I need a new make-up bag.

Anyway it has a blue base with gold owls printed on the bag itself. They do have different owl designs to make it more interesting and pretty. This looks good quality and I usually dont like to spend a fortune on a make-up bag since I have really no use for a make-up bag. But I would buy this just because it looks pretty. Its not the usual type of bag I would go for but who cannot resist owls?

This bag is being released at the end of September for £8.50 in M&S
