Sleep in a Bottle ☯

Hello Stranger, today I thought I would review my brand new face. I recently picked this up in Boots and from the minute I swatched it on my jaw I loved it. Unlike other drugstore foundations, it was a perfect match and had no orange undertone at all. I have always been intrigued by the qualities of this foundation as it claims to do a wide range of things. Anti-fatigue, skin brightening, illuminating and a radiant, flawless finish.

So first up the application. I did my usual routine; apply some to my hand then dot it on my face with a sponge then blend it in. And as soon as I dotted it on I saw how perfect the colouring was. Instead of looking orangey it just looked pale. As I started to blend it out I was surprised at how easily it blended. 




It feels like silk o the skin but still not too heavy.
I wore this on one side of my face and my normal foundation on the other and this lasted a whole lot longer. 
It also smells really, really good. Which is always a bonus! 

Application           10/10           
Price                     8/10
Lasting Time     9/10
Packaging         7/10    
Blend-ability   10/10

I hope you liked this quick review. I will be posting a few “Back To School” themed posts. If you have any requests for posts then leave them below. Love you all.

Let's All Go Honolulu ☯




Ok, so Honolulu actually means "sheltered harbour" or it's Hawaii's capital. So you can pick how you interpret the title how you wish. Anyway, this is my first official post and it's a ... review! Whooooooo!

So the culprit today is a loose bronzing powder called Honolulu by Warpaint Cosmetics {or w7}. I picked this up today from B&M Bargains as they always their products cheap and in stock. When I first saw it I didn't really expect much as it was only 99p in B&M.

When you first open it, your met with a dark brown powder that honestly looks like cocoa powder, and as I am paler than a piece of paper this really alarmed me. I applied the product with a Royal & Langnickel powder brush as it's really soft and doesn't apply the powder to heavily. *Helpful Tip: You can't be lazy with this powder, you have to tap off the excess or you will look like you had a cocoa powder accident*  So, when I actually applied it I feel in LOVE, it's so soft on your skin and goes on like a dream. As it's a very brown heavy bronzer it doesn't appear orange at all, plus it works on pale skin and is very pigmented. 


Application    - ****
Price               - *****
Pigmentation  - ****

As you can see I am pretty amazed by this product and I can't wait to try the solid box powder version as well. 


See you in a while crocodile!
