This week I bought some new products from superdrug which included a new primer. I had never used a primer before but I wish I had. It makes such a difference. My make up looks better and lasts all day! The primer I bought was Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer for normal to combination skin. The texture is almost like a gel and it goes on very smoothly and absorbed very quickly. And at only £3.98 you cannot really go wrong.
I also bought a new foundation which for me is the most difficult piece of make up to buy as I find matching my skin tone almost impossible, and the lighting in the shops makes the colours look a slightly different shade to what they actually are. However I went with Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation in 201 Classic Beige. This colour was the closest match to my skin however just slightly too dark so to balance the colour out I bought Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder in 006 warm beige. This powder does actually last a long time and is easily applied with a brush onto my forehead, temples, cheeks, nose and chin. This keeps all the shiny areas clear and matte looking.
My cheeks have Rimmel London Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in 010 Santa Rose, which is a really subtle pretty pink colour which just adds a little without being over the top.
On my eyes I have Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner in 061 Jet Black. This eyeliner is very easy to apply however it is not waterproof and I have very watery eyes so it smudges quite easily, so I may have to invest in another one that is waterproof. I am also wearing liquid liner on my eyelids but I have had it such a long time the label has rubbed off and I no longer know what it is. Perhaps it is time for a new one.
Another new purchase is my new eyeshadow colour. It is a beautiful shimmery beige. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick/Crayon in 002 Bulletproof Beige. This stuff is amazing. I'm not kidding it says 24 hour waterproof. And it is! It goes on so smoothly like it's a liquid but it stays put all day!
My mascara is another new purchase from Rimmel (are you noticing a pattern here) it is the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara in 001 Black. I like this as it has a thin brush. Many mascara now have massive fat brushes that just get clogged and make your lashes clumpy. This however is brilliant. It's very black and makes my lashes long and curly, everything you expect a mascara to do. However as I mentioned about my watery eyes I may have to get a waterproof one.
Finally, on my lips I have my newest favourite lipstick Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection Lasting Finish Lipstick in shade 05. This is matte genius. It's not so matte it's sticky and stiff but its not slippery either. It's amazing and I will be purchasing more colours.
Anyway that's my Face of The Day. Sorry about the fact that I have not included prices or links but this is because I have not kept the receipts (slaps hand) and of the layout is different I apologize as I have posted this from my phone.
More to come
