10 days of lipstick: Day 2

Day 2:
Today I went shopping so I wanted a natural look and something that I wouldn't need to touch up or faff with. So I picked out ELF's lipstick in the shade 'Classy' which is a gorgeous barbie pink. I wore a sheer cover on my lips in the picture on the left. The picture on the top right also shows how this lipstick is build-able and can be more opaque. I then topped this look off with L'oreal Glam Shine in the shade 'Gold Cappuccino'. I have been obsessed with this gloss for so long, you can see by looking at the scratches on the packaging. It goes perfectly with so many lipsticks and it give a gorgeous golden shine. I wore this in the center of my lips to make them look more full.

Want to see what I bought during my shopping trip?


1. Nivea Milk: Can be found here
I love Nivea soaps, especially their 'Cucumber and green tea' which can be found here. But I picked up this one to try. Unlike the cucumber and green tea soap it doesn't have much of scent, which is what i lvoed about it. It smells fresh, and isn't drying. It simply a nice soap.

2. Garnier Fresh Essentials gel wash: Can be found here
I bought mine from Tesco and it was on offer for only £2.00! This is a repurchase because I love this face wash. It leaves the skin feeling soft and fresh, and does not irritate my skin in any way. I would recommend it to all skin types, even sensitive.

3. Rimmel Wake me up foundation: Can be found here
Shade: 200 Soft Beige
I haven't has a chance to try this foundation enough to review it. But by testing it, I have noticed that it leaves a sheen to the skin. This will give the illusion of glowy skin. It has a slight shimmer, but this is what gives the glowing look. I am extremely excited to use this foundation but it will definitely be strange at first because I have been using my Mac Pro long wear foundation for nearly 5 years!

4. Neutrogena spot stress control: Can be found here
I picked this up because it was also on offer, which is quite bad of me as I have plenty of skincare products waiting for me to try. I have only tried this once, but I like it already! Its very light, I think it feels more like a primer consistency than a moisturizer. It soothes the skin also making it feel smooth. It claims to clear spots and to make skin clearer, soft and healthy-looking. I haven't used this product enough to know whether it does this but my first impression is definitely a positive one.

5. Revlon Colorstay foundation: Can be found here
Shade: 320 True Beige
I picked up the combination/ oily foundation because when i tested it I preferred the coverage. I also thought that it would be better for summer. First thing is that I definitely chose the wrong shade. drugstore lighting is so bad. I tested the foundation onto my hand perfectly, but when I got home and then looked at my hand it just looked muddy. I'm not sure if i am able to exchange the foundation for a lighter shade but either way I will get another one because I think that it will work well.

6. St Ives Apricot Scrub: Can be found here
I have never tried any St Ives products but I have heard so many good things about it so I thought I would pick this up. I already bout my Garnier face wash so I thought a scrub would be a better purchase. Again, I have only used this once but I love it! The scent isn't the best considering it is apricot, but it isn't a bad smell. I dislike scrubs that don't have many exfoliating beads because it doesn't do its job, but I also don't like it when there are too many and it is too harsh on the skin. Am I being too fussy? Well, I really like this one because it has what I like about a scrub! it has left my skin feeling wonderfully smooth and I know it has done a good job at exfoliating my skin. I will definitely repurchase this one in the future.

7.Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: Can be found here
I already have this concealer in my shade but I picked up one that was lighter than my skin tone for either highlighting or for use under my eyes. I love this concealer and for the price I definitely recommend anyone to try it. Amazing coverage and lasts throughout the day.
