H&M MINI LIPSTICKS




HELLO THERE!
Here I am with a quick lipsticks review. I don't know about you but I've always wondered why H&M had so many lipglosses and no lipsticks. If you know me, you know I'm not a gloss person as I like matte on me.
Last time I was in there I told that to a friend whilst looking at their range of lip products and I saw these tiny but great key chain mini lipsticks.
They are available in 3 different shades: Plum Red, Perfect Red and Barely Pink.
I was looking for a nice dark burgundy colour for the fall and winter seasons but also needed to save my money for Christmas but when I saw the Plum Red one, I couldn't help but buy it and guess what? It was ONLY 1,95€, yes your heard me. BARGAIN
I couldn't wait to put it on and since I was going out with some friends, I did so and was quite impressed by the quality. I also bought the other two shades 2 days after that.
I'm not a massive fan of Barely Pink kind of colour on my lip as I can't seem to pull it off, it looks a bit too pale on my skin but I thought I would give it a try, we never know!
Also, everybody knows I'm a red lip lover so had to buy the Perfect Red one. You would be impressed with how long it lasts on the lips even after having something to eat. I just couldn't believe it for a 1.95€ lipstick.
What is good about them being keychains is that you can bring them everywhere you go along with your house keys or car keys and if you ever need to put a little something on, just use it. Very simple, very pigmented, very quick, very small and also very nice :)

Hope this made you want to buy them (cause I'm the shopping devil). Let me know if you do and tell me what you think of them!

RIMMEL LONDON | WAKE ME UP FOUNDATION


With my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:

Well Hello There!
Yes it is another review of another Great Product. I absolutely love Rimmel London and put it as my favourite on the feelunique.com website. It gives you 10% off your chosen favourite brand which is very useful for whenever you want to repurchase some of your must haves!
So I did buy a few Rimmel things lately and repurchased this Foundation as I loved it ever since I got it. I may do review on others Rimmel products if you like it or just do a Haul :)
Let's talk about the practical details now so we can move on to the actual review. Mine is in the shade 100 Ivory as I have a very fair skin. It is a 30ml glass bottle, with SPF 15, and costs £8.99 (10,39€).

Right, what is very positive about this foundation is its texture. It is very smooth and soft on your skin and feels light weight at least to me. It is also very natural looking as it a medium coverage. It does have an anti-fatigue effect and does wake up your skin as it says on the bottle which is very good when you did not have enough sleep. It is also said that it is a Radiant Glow effect which is also true. I quite like a bit of a glowy effect but it happened to be a tiny bit two much when I did not powder enough on top so I guess it depends on what you like. Don't get me wrong, it is not supra glowy but it can sometimes be if you're sweaty (mmmh) or have a particular oily skin day.

You should know that I don't tend to have oily skin, I'm more in the normal to combination skin type. It is very sensitive as I'm blond therefore have a very fair skin. Depending on the day it can either be a bit dry or oily around my nose and forehead but usually is quite normal which means I could probably wear any type of foundation.

As I used it a lot, I repurchased it before it was finished but I kind of got too used to it now so I should probably try another one before using my new one. I don't know about you but I feel like we have the tendency to get used to one thing which makes you stop appreciate just as much so... I may try either the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation or the Match Perfection. I sound like a Rimmel addict but it is quite a cheap but good quality brand so it usually worth its price.

So I've decided to attribute this foundation a.... ++

Also, I've been so excited about Christmas coming closer and closer and I'm trying to stop myself from putting the christmas decoration in my room too early but I may give up tonight or when it's 30 days before Christmas Eve...
I'll let you updated ;)


What is you current or favourite foundation? What would you recommend?

FAVOR DEAL - SKULLS AND SKELETONS




Hello BeautyAromers!

I recently made a purchase at the Favordeal website and thought I would review the two products I ordered. As I didn't know what to expect, I thought I would make a small purchase to see how good the quality was and if it was actually worth it as everything seem to be quite cheap. I've been wanting a skull bracelet but did not really know where to get it and when I saw it on the website for $4.04, I was very happy! It is called Vintage Fashiom Punk Skull Cuff Bracelet for anyone who would like to purchase this item! I got it in bronze (which is more of a golden) but you can get it in silver as well. When I received it, I was a bit scared as it looked really tight and impossible to stretch to let my wrist in but you can actually stretch it quite easily, you just need to stop thinking itwill break as it seems quite strong.
The other item I got was a Personalized Skull Antique Band Ring ($3,99). I must admit I was a bit disappointed as I imagined it to be much thiner and elegant but that is the risk with website photos. Also, it is quite a small size so be careful if you have big fingers (that sounds awful), I can only fit mine to my left hand finger as it is thiner than my right hand so always check all your fingers before getting upset or before deciding to return the item. Mine is in golden but just as the bracelet, you can get it in silver if you prefer.

So, my general thoughts on the FavorDeal website are quite positive. I do like the two items I purchased but I have to warn you that it does take quite a while to deliver. I ordered everything on the 14th of October and got them on the 3rd of November which makes a total of 3 weeks which is quite long when you now how fast it can be these days. 
The good thing is I had a voucher so all this turned out to be quite cheap :)

I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you feel like going on the website, they do have some other pieces I love, I'm sure you'll find something that suits your style!

Are you going to order anything? Any recommendation? Any cheap but good jewellery website?
