Flawless long lasting foundation routine

Hi Ladies just wanted to show you all how I've been applying my foundation to help it last all day in this Summer heat. Hope you enjoy :)

Step 1:

I apply my concealer first followed by my primer. Some may take I'm crazy for doing in this way but I find that's what works best for me. 

 Step 2:

I spray my foundation brush with my setting spray until it's wet.

 Step 3:

Okay pay attention here. Being that your brush is wet only use half the amount of foundation that you normally would. I've been mixing these two together since one is too light & one is too dark. Being that the brush is wet you will have a dewy look.

Step 4:

If your not into the dewy look like me just apply whichever powder you'd like. 

Step 5:

The fun part now you get to play with blush, bronzer, & highlight.

Ladies seriously using a wet brush really worked wonders for me! I use less foundation & my skin looks flawless. Most importantly I don't have to touch up my makeup during the day & it doesn't melt off. 

Remember: You can use whichever  type of products work best for you. I just showed the ones that go with my skin type.

Rimmel London sent me this Mascara to review on my blog. I received it free of charge. This review will be my honest opinion.

I also received two different shades of lipgloss. My review can be found HERE

WHAT IT IS: The pin-up girl of mascaras.

WHAT IT DOES: Puts curves in all the right places with the new TRIPLE PLUMP Brush that's oversized and created for women that prefer a fiber brush and more volume- up to 10X more. The unique Lasy Inflation Formula is designed to work in perfect synergy with Triple Plump Blush, It trasnforms lashes to voluptuous, oversized lashes.

-Sexy Curves Full Body: Extra volume & shapely curved Mascara

- Supersized Triple Plumping Brush, reaches lashes from root to tip.

What Do I think?

PROS:
- Doesn't clump
- Curls my lashes, no need for an eyelash curler.
- lengthens my lashes
- Doesn't irritate my eyes

CONS:
- The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't give my lashes as much "fullness" as I would like, But the fact that it doesn't clump my lashes allows me to overlook that.

RATING:
9/10

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS:
Yes I would. I normally use a primer before using any mascara but when I tested this one out I didn't. My lashes still looked great but next time I'm going to use my primer & see if it helps to add more volume.



Overall I think Rimmel is a great company. Every product I tried from them I loved. The only thing I haven't tried yet is their eyeliner, but I plan to change that soon.

500- Treasure Hunt

My first thought of Treasure Hunt was "oh my goodness I don't think I can pull off this color", but guess what? I really like it! It takes me out of my comfort zone without going overboard. This color would work great for when you do a light neutral eye & want to play up your lips.

750- Endless Night

I knew I was going to like Endless Night because its a nice natural color. This color would work great when you want to have a bold eye look & neutral lip.



My Thoughts:
I love the fact that these glosses are so affordable & that there is 24 colors to chose from! All the names sound so creative & I can't wait to see all the colors in person.

Okay now on to the actual lipgloss. First of all I like the packaging. It's not overdone but doesn't look cheap either. Just from looking at the packaging I could tell that this lipgloss was going to be pigmented. These glosses can be applied lightly for a more natural look or they're even buildable for more color payoff. This gloss isn't drying & actually makes my lips feel like I just applied chapstick! I would recommend giving these a try.

Do these lipglosses really last six hours?
I find that the color lasts but the shine fades after a couple of hours but then again my lip are going through alot of dryness lately so that could be the reason.

PROS:
not sticky
affordable
large color range
pigmented
nice packaging
not drying
buildable


CONS:
None
