hello. actually, i'm not sure i have anything interesting to say :\ i've just been bumbling around as usual, working, shopping. this time last week i went into my old school to see the english department and it was lovely. wow. a week ago already.
er, beauty reviews it is then.
Look Beauty
"LOOK" Beauty is a really lovely make-up line from the people at LOOK magazine (also one of my favourites) and recently they have offered really good reductions on their products.
"Flawless Fix BB Foundation"
let's get one thing straight: i have an eternal battle with foundation. i currently own at least four, and that's not including primers and another BB cream. i'm always searching for something new and better, sometimes purely for the thrill of a new product, but sometimes because it is difficult to get it absolutely right. other foundations i own include Vichy Norma Teint, and Revlon PhotoReady, both very good foundations. however, i am fascinated by BB creams and the idea that a foundation-like product can be good for your skin, too. like i said, Look products have been on promotion recently and i took this opportunity to buy the "Flawless Fix BB Foundation" whilst it was at a reduced price. well, i certainly wasn't disappointed. looking at the product, you wouldn't be certain that it is anything special. the texture is certainly nothing mindblowing - not particularly matte, nor overly soft and refreshing. however, somehow, it works! a small amount seems to spread over skin effortlessly and instantly neutralises my red tones and covers patchy areas. you do need a reasonable-sized blob to cover a whole face, but, as i said, it seems to spread very well. the very best thing is, besides a bit of powder (which i always, always use for good measure), i didn't need to add any extra foundation over the top! result! all in all a lovely product :) £10.00 full price, currently on sale at £6.00
"Fresh Cheeks!"
ngl, i am hopeless with blusher. still figuring out how to apply it effectively, but i couldn't resist this. i've always, always wanted a nice cream blusher, but usually they're too expensive for me to bother. well, on sale this one was a mere £2.50 so i knew i had to go for it! i can't really say much about it, as, obviously i'm still figuring it out, however, i thought the colour was fabulous (this shade is called 'melon') and the texture seems pretty good :) £5.00 full price, currently on sale at £3.00
"Stretch Factor"
my mum recommended this to me as we're both always looking for good mascaras. i've not used it yet (borrowed hers in the past though..) as i'm still working my way through my Lancome Hyponose Star, but i know for a fact it's a great mascara and i can't wait to use it :) £6.00 full price, currently on sale at £3.00
all in all, "LOOK" Beauty is really a great brand which does some lovely nail varnish and lip colours, too. i only hope it continues to sell, because it would be a shame for it to not be successful.
