Revlon Photoready foundation review

heyyyy guys so I went shopping to buy some foundation for my holiday and I wanted to get some Revlon Photoready foundation as I had heard some really good reviews about it because its a good price and works well for a drug store foundation. so i picked my shade (which is 003 shell) and got inticed to buy a few bargains then went to pay.
so now onto the reveiw ....

first of all Im going to start with the packaging its quite a stumpy type bottle and at the top has a cap covering the pump which keeps the product clean and the pump is also very controllable so you can have as much or as little as you want. this product is also very buildable.
now onto the formulea. it's not as thick as their Colourstay foundation and doesn't dry as fast either. it gives I would say about medium to heavy coverage but doesnt really look streaky. I would say put on a lot of moisturizer on your skin a few minutes before you put ont he foundation if you have dry skin as it can look cakey on dry skin (which is what I have). Like everyone says it does have sparkly bits in it but you can't really see them unless you look really closely, the one thing I do like about the sparkle is that it gives highlights to your face and airbrushes out most imperfections. I like the fact it includes SPF 20 in it so you don't need to add some sunscreen in with it in the summer months, it is also a lot more than in their Colourstay foundation which only has SPF 6. yesterday it lasted me around about 12 hours before it started to come off of my skin. so far touch wood I have had no break outs from it. I use a brush to apply it. I did notice yesterday though you could see some of my pores around my nose not good.

the price by the way is £12.99 for a 30ml bottle.

all in all I would rate this foundation 4.5 out of 5 stars.

heres a photo to show you what the bottle looks like:

Yankee candles

heyyyy guys so I know I havn't posted in what seems like forever, but I've been really busy.

I'm just going to do a product review on my new candles.

they are the yankee candles and I bought mine from house of fraiser I'm not really sure where else you can buy them from apart from their website. Basically to me they give off a strong smell which lingers around for ages- I found out as I burnt one before I went to bed the other night and I woke up in the morning still being able to smell the scent.

so here are the candles I bought:

Ocean blossom

this is a very light scent it reminds me a bit of the ocean with hints of water Lily and something like lotus.




garden sweet pea


this is the second one I picked up and my first thought was that it smelt of a really nice smelling lip gloss or lipstick, it sounds really wierd but is really pleasant. it has a bit more scent than ocean blossom but is still quite light. once I took off the packaging I could definately define the smell of flowers as it reminded me of a garden on a summers day.




tropical fruits

This is a candle that my friend pointed out to me I automatically saw that there was a lot of bright colours going on. To me it is the strongest smelling out of all three and reminds me of a mix of cinnamon, apples, pineapple and lots of other fruits like avocado.

all the scents and prices are on there website so if your interested go check them out.

off to get ready for going out to see Eclipse later hope it's as good as the book!

byeeee xxxx
