I promised I would give my opinion on the small selection of products i had bought in the little haul I showed you guys so here goes!
Firstly ill start off with the Rimmel London Wake me up foundation...
I don't think this is going to come as much of a surprise to anybody here but I loved it! My first thought when I applied it was that it was light coverage but definitely build-able once i had worked it in and added a bit more in the areas I felt needed more (such as my forehead and cheeks where I have blemishes) It leaves your skin feeling soft and definitely does the job of 'waking you up' because it looks like your skin is glowing and gives you a pick up. HOWEVER ( I know I hate having a however) its not the foundation for me :( I know I have such positive things to say about it! but I think ill be converting back to my trusty 24 hours foundation, the only reason this is is because I have oily skin and the wake me up foundation is a dewy finish which I had my suspicions but kept up with it and soon learned that throughout the day and (sorry gross bit coming up) my oil and sweat built up and shone through the foundation making it look VERY shiny and not appealing at all it also meant i had to keep applying my press powder twice as much as usual which was a pain in the bottom to say the least! I don't therefore recommend if you suffer from oily skin like me, however I think it would be great for dry or combination skin.
overall rating out of 10 : 7/10
MUA mosaic blush in English rose shade 3...
I loved this blush, I said when I swatched it that it actually appeared to have a slight highlight in it and I was worried that it would be too shiny on my skin but actually the colour and highlight are a perfect combination giving the cheeks a cute and natural glow. I believe its an all round colour and can be made to look good with any makeup, definitely a bargain find as well and I would recommend it to any body!
over all rating: 9/10
MUA single eye shadow in the colour pearl...
Again i was very happy with this product, it looks very dark and shimmery in the packaging but applied and blended (especially into the crease) it becomes this lovely brown-y shimmery colour which i found was really amazing with my brown eye pencil (also from the MUA range) It lasted all day, however I would definitely wear a base so it doesn't shift, I often opt for a nude eye shadow or concealer before i apply any eye shadow especially if its dark.Overall I think that this is another bargain product and I think its going to become one of my future favorites!
over all rating: 9/10
Last but not least...MUA nail varnish (new range) in the colour Koala bear
Guys...I'm sorry but this is nothing to write home about, i didn't know what I was going to expect for a pound but seeing as some of their other range is a pound (such as eye shadow and eyeliner) and those products are amazing I thought this product was going to be the same however i was very much mistaken. First application of the product i found the colour was extremely sheer even though its a dark grey colour, so I applied another coat once it had dried and didn't find a lot of difference. Several coats later (baring in mind its such a small bottle) the colour had finally shone through. My trouble after that was waiting for it to dry which took a LONG time and again didn't impress me one bit. I wanted to test it over a good period of time and so decided to do it over a course of 4 days as this is the average number of days my Barry M varnish seems to last for. Let me tell you, by the second day half of it had peeled off and one nail was completely varnish free, I was not happy one bit especially when I came out of the shower to find it had all chipped...I was gutted to say the least. My final bit of advice would be not to buy this product because even though its cheap it last 2 days max and to be perfectly honest it works out more expensive because you have to keep reapplying it after them 2 days, I would stick with my trusty Barry M because its good value for money.
over all rating: 2/10
