Revlon Colourstay foundation review

Revlon colourstay whipped foundation is not readily available in the UK, I received mine in a swap from New York.  I allready have the colourstay liquid which I love, but it does feel quite heavy when applied to the skin, as its full coverage.  The whipped is a gel like consistancy and this makes the feel on the skin not as heavy, and it blends beautifully with the same coverage as ghe liquid, I would say though that I did need to set it with powder.  Im loving this foundation right now and it has replaced my colourstay liquid.  I will have a demo of the application on my youtube channel very soon.

Chit Chat Highlighter from Poundland

This highlighter comes from Poundland and its their take on Benifits High Beam, and I must say its amazing considering it only costs £1. Its a thick gel like liquid that when applied to the skin give a lovely glow.  Poundland also does a cheek tint which is really good. 

Poundland Chit Chat juicy lipstick


These are Poundlands take on crayon lipsticks. I have the Revlon just bitten kissable balm stains, and I love these, but they are not cheap.  I have 5 colours ranging from very light pink which is quite a sheer colour to a deep red that is very pigmented.  They dont stain but they dont claim to so thats cool.  They are though, very moisturising indeed and for £1 they make a very affordable coloured lip balm.  I allways keep one in my bag, so I can allways have moist lip and still feel pretty  x x x

Loreal Confetti Top Coat

This is the new concept in top coats, confetti in a bottle, This is Loreal's version.  Its a clear varnish with little black and white speckles in it.  The varnish dries very quickly and it has just enough speckles.  
When applied over a light pastel polish it reminds me of speckle painted easter eggs.  I have applied this over two of the BarryM polishes so far and it looks georgous, I love this stuff so much and basically cant stop wearing it lol. I have had mine for about two weeks and it has gone down quite a lot. 
In this picture I have the confetti top coat on over BarryMs Papaya, I have re applied this at least 3 times.  This retails for £4.99 and loreal have often got special offers on like BOGOF or 3 for 2

Maybaline Colour Vivids Lipstick

These are the new colour Vivids by Maybaline. They are very pigmented and vibrant lipsticks. They are not a glossy finish when applied but they are not matt either, I would say they are more of a satin finish and after wearing them for a while they can feel a little drying on the lips, but I have managed to combat this by applying a lip balm either before you apply, or keeping one around in case you need a little moisture.  They look amazing on the lips. The packaging is pretty cool to with the classic Maybaline square lid in the most brightly coloured Orange.
 
The swatches on my hand here show the vibrancy of the 3 colours I picked up, and this was just one swipe. I have a pink, a plum and a coral which will look fab in the spring/summer. They stayed on my lips for quite a while even though they don't claim to be long lasting.  All in all I love these bright lippys and will be purchasing more very soon.
