NEW Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Last month Rimmel London released their new and improved version of the 'Match Perfection' foundation. I was fortunate enough to get sent this to try and review for you all. I enjoy the original formula as it is light weight on the skin, so I was keen to try this one out!

The product states that is has invisible coverage and promises fresh looking skin all day long.  This new formula differs from the old as it contains light-reflecting & soft focus powders that convey a poreless finish. 

The new Match Perfection is a light weight foundation. It has SPF20 and is made to hydrate the skin and provide a flawless finish. I found the best way for a natural finish is to use a buffing brush. This allows the product to work into the skin, creating a subtle glow and light coverage. The foundation is lovely for everyday wear and great for the summer time. If you're after more coverage, I found applying it with a damp sponge will do the trick without looking caked on. 

This foundation worked well for my skin. It gave off a healthy glow and made my skin look more awake. There are a total of 8 shades in the range and I have "100 Ivory". These are shades:

Unfortunately, the shades in the range are mostly pink based. Meaning that if you have a yellow undertone they may not work so great on your skin. Another downside is that if you are someone who likes a thicker coverage foundation, you probably won't enjoy this one!

Overall, I did like this foundation because it's easy to wear everyday. I truthfully did not see a difference between this formula and the old one except that the new version has more SPF. This foundation will be sweet if you're starting out with make up or want something light for the summer. 

Rimmels' new Match Perfection Foundation retails at $18.95 and you can purchase it at pharmacies and your local supermarket.

Let's talk about LUSH Christmas

It has been far to long since I have talked about LUSH! It is literally one of my favourite stores and Christmas time calls for the best bath products. 

Sadly, I only picked up two things because everything was gone! Although, I will be placing some online orders! The two I picked up were my favourite 'Butter Bear bath bomb' and a newbie "Peeping Santa Bubble Bar".

Butter Bear Bath Bomb: If you've read some of my older posts, you would know that 'Butter Ball' is one of my favourite Lush products. Butter ball in a form of a bear is so damn cute! It's so moisturising on the skin because it contains cocoa butter. The comforting vanilla scent makes you feel so cozy! 

rp: $5.95

Peeping Santa Bubble Bar: This cutie is a new addition to this years Christmas collection. How cute is he! He looks like a strawberry and smells like one too! He contains cocoa butter and soft shea, leaving the skin feeling so soft. I love bubble bars because they create excitement in the bath. - Who wouldn't love bubbles that smell of berries? 

rp $10.95

I could talk about Lush products for days! What's your favourite product from the Christmas range?

Too Faced Le Grand Château

You know when you're having a bad day and need something to cheer you up? For me it includes shopping and shopping for things I probably don't need but still make it's way in my cart. I decided to splurge on an early Christmas present from Mecca Maxima. Too Faced would have to be my favourite high-end make up brand and I could not pass up this purchase. As such I picked up the Too Faced Le Grand Château gift set which includes three palettes and a mini mascara.

My first impression on this gift set was the cutest packaging. All of Too Faced products have the most gorgeous packaging so I was not surprised when I saw this. The gift set is limited edition as it is part of the holiday collection. When you open the box, you see a cute little house that opens to three palettes which include 6 eyeshadows in each and either a bronzer or blush. The eyeshadows are high quality and range from bronzes to purples. The gift set also includes a deluxe mini 'Better Than Sex' mascara which is the perfect touch to the set.

The pink palette includes cool toned eyeshadows. The palette includes 5 shimmer shades and 1 matte shade in an ivory. The shimmers include a peach, pink, champagne, blue and purple. This palette would be a perfect one for the spring time. It also includes a bronzer in the shade 'Jolie', which has a slight orange tone to it. The bronzer is lovely for creating a 'sun kissed' look to the skin.

The blue palette is my favourite out of the three. It includes warm toned eyeshadows with 3 matte shades and 3 shimmers. On the top row are the mattes ranging from a bone colour, light brown and dark brown. The dark brown shade 'La Femme' was sadly quit chalky when swatched so you may have to do a little extra blending.The bottom row include the shimmers which include 2 gorgeous golden shades and a charcoal. The blush, 'Mademoiselle' is also included and is a beautiful baby pink.

The black palette is perfect for a night out and even a great one for those with brown eyes as the purple tones will make your eyes pop! This palette includes 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. The mattes include a pale highlighting shade, a light-pinkish-brown (great description Sara) and a typical black. The shimmers include a bold purple, a light champagne and a black with specs of purple shimmer. I haven't used this palette yet but i'm very keen on playing around with purples, especially Tre's Chic'. A baby doll pink blush is also included. 

Overall, the Too Faced Le Grand Château gift set is a perfect, seasonal gift for a friend, partner or yourself (like let's be real here). It retails at Mecca Maxima for AU$70 and is only available for the holidays!

Have a wonderful day!

2015 November Favourites ♡

Hello my lovelies, November is over and it's officially the festive month. I didn't do a post of last months favourites as I didn't really have any to share and wasn't in the mood.

♡ Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette: Firstly how cute is the packaging! Too Faced products are my favourite and this was my first time trying out the eyeshadows and I love it. There is a mix of mattes and shimmers in the palette. The shades blend out seamlessly and are so pigmented. I did a full review on this palette here. 

♡ Maybelline Hyper Sharp Wing Liner: My all time favourite felt tip eyeliner is the 'Maybelline Master Precise' and I have to say this is even better. This liner is so much easier to use as the thin tip allows for better precision. A cat flick has always been a struggle for a lot of people and this literally saves the trouble. 

♡ Covergirl Smoochies in #Luvu: I've had this lip product for a while now and it's my go to tinted lip balm. The colour is quite similar to Mac's "twig" lipstick. This product moisturises the lips as well as provides a beautiful pink colour. The packaging isn't the most attractive but it's my favourite to wear for school and work.

♡ Neutrogena Hydroboost Eye Roll On: If you're someone who always has tired eyes then this is your life saviour. I struggle with dryness under my eyes and I suffer from a lot of dark colouring. I use this product before I go to bed or in the mornings to hydrate my under eyes. It's makes under eye concealer application a lot easier! Quick tip; put this in your fridge so when used it's cooling.

♡ Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush: It's true when they say this is the best and most popular brush from Sigma. I picked this up quite a while back at a Sigma pop up store. Since then i've been obsessed with it for applying foundation. Buffing brushes are always great for creating a flawless and natural base. This brush blends my foundation in seamlessly and I love it.

Music:

Purpose (whole album) - Justin Bieber

Talk Me Down - Troye Sivan

The One - Kodaline

Tv Shows:

American Horror Story; Hotel - This season of AHS is so interesting. A lot of people have mixed views on it but I love it! It's quite scary and makes me jump.

Scream Queens - This show is a bit of a laugh to kill time. I love Emma Roberts and I love her in this show. Does anyone think they know who the 'red devil' is?

Food:

So Good Dairy Free Ice Cream: Where are my vegan loves at? This is the best ice-cream - well the only dairy free ice cream I've tried. It's low in fat and is perfect as the Sydney weather has been so hot! 

And they are my favourites from the month of November! I can't wait for Christmas! We're in the last month of 2015, let's make it a good one.
