Review: Maybelline Superstay Foundation

Im always trying different foundations so when I was searching through superdrug the other day this bottle caught my eye! After testing the sample, I always so this and I always end up putting too much on my hand, (whoops!) I decided to buy it to try out!
Ive never tried a Maybelline foundation before but id always hear good reviews so I thought id give it a shot and I love it!





I always tend to use liquid foundations because Ive got a normal skin type and this foundation I found was oil based so if you have oily skin I would stay away! I applied the foundation with my Real Techniques buffing brush (one of my favourite brushes) and it went on like a dream! The colour matched me perfectly (I went for 048 sun beige) and didn't feel like I had any foundation on! it acted like a second layer of skin and didn't feel cakey at all!

Pros:
-Soft on the skin
-Colour match
-Packaging was eye-catching
-Creamy texture
-Lasted all day
-Buildable coverage

Cons:
-Was a bit pricey
-More than one pump needed to cover a face
-could be streaky if you don't use the right brush





Overall I really like this product and I would definitely repurchase it again as soon as I runs out. My advice would be to try this product out, it didn't disappoint me in the slightest and its in the top 5 foundations ive used so far! I'm super pleased with the foundation as a whole! To order online you can buy it from Superdrug.

NOTE:I'll be posting a lot more frequently from now on and with more of health and fitness posts and posts on keeping fit on the build up to summer!

Hope you all liked this post! :)

Mabelline 24Hour Color Tattoo- Review


I brought a few of these color tattoos a while ago and thought this would be the perfect review! I've always been a big fan of Maybelline, the ranges are always good and the quality of the products always suit me, so I thought id try the color tattoos.
When I first brought them, I wasn't totally sure what I could do with the product, but as I started playing around with them I realised they can be used in a few different ways. I used them simply while I was out and about for a subtle daytime look, but then also used them as a base for your shadows to make your eye look stand out! Great for a night out with the girls!

And FYI- when they say 'color tattoo' they REALLY do mean tattoo! After swatching the colours on my arm, it took me about 20 minutes to scrub it off! I doesn't fade or run as you apply it and literally stays on all day! They are very blendable and very easy to apply to the eye and super affordable at only £4.99!

I started off with 3 shades: (left to right)
  • Eternal gold 05
  • Pink gold-65
  • On and on bronze- 35

 

 
 
 
The products are all cream based and easy to apply. I prefer them to be cream based products and synthetic brushes would be best to use when applying at the bristles don't hold onto the product as well so we don't have to waste any product! Perfect! 

 
Swatching from top to bottom: Eternal gold, pink gold, on and on bronze.
 
 
 
I personally love this product and cant wait to stock up on some more and have a play around with all the different colours!
