Review | Rimmel Apocalips in Apocaliptic

Everyone has been raving about these babies so obviously I had to get one as well. I picked up the colour Apolcaliptic which is a deep fuchsia pink colour. It's a glossy lip stain but not as sticky and tacky at a lipgloss. The taste/scent is a bit chemically/weird but it's not that bad. I just really love this colour and I definitely want to get some more of these, but I do wish they would come out with some more natural/light colours.  

Review | Revlon Photoready BB Cream

Revlon was the next drugstore brand to bring out the current fad product, BB cream. I have been wanting to try out a tinted moisturiser for when I go on holiday in June that had a high SPF and would be easy to just slap on at the beach etc. I had read/watched reviews about lots of different drugstore BB creams and just wasn't that interested because I usually like a medium to high coverage foundation and was a bit scared of wearing something as sheer as a BB cream. 

But I was in Superdrug the other day and saw a Revlon one, I love the Revlon Colorstay Foundation so I put my faith in Revlon and just bought the BB cream on a whim. I got the shade 010 light, which is the lightest colour out of the three. 

I was pleasantly surprised to see it gave a decent amount of coverage for a BB cream/tinted moisturiser. It has a nice thick creamy consistency that blends out nicely and feels really moisturising. 

It gives a natural glowing look, and with some concealer it gives perfect coverage for my skin at the moment because my skin is fairly clear at the moment *touch wood* but I do have minor scaring on my cheek area which needs concealer. I also love the fact it has a high SPF of 30 because I burn in the sun so easily so I really need high SPF!

I don't take notice of all the claims about what BB creams do for your skin, I just think they are the drugstore version of a tinted moisturiser really because hardly any drugstore brands have tinted moisturisers. They have just re-named them BB creams so everyone buys into the whole fad/idea of it. 

I will definitely be taking this in my suit case for hoilday!

Review | Topshop Lipstick in Tease

I love the Topshop lipsticks so I had to pick up another one the other day. I'm loving pink lipsticks at the moment so I got the shade, Tease which is a cool toned pink with an under tone of lilac. I've really wanted to try out a lilac lipstick but I'm not brave enough so this was a good one to try. 

Topshop lipsticks have a really nice creamy moisturising formula with a matte finish and they smell sort of fruity. Yummy!
