Garnier Moisture Match | 24hr Mattifying Fresh Cream

Garnier Moisture Match Mattifying Fresh Cream: £5.99 from Boots and Superdrug - 

This is one of the new range of moisturisers from Garnier. They've released a range suitable for various skin types, from dry to very dry, dry to normal, combination to oily and for dull skin. 

I gave this a shot and actually really like it. The texture is really strange for a moisturiser, it almost has a primer like feel when applying it to the skin, but it sinks in nicely and feels quite cooling, which is lovely! 

I feel like it does the job of moisturising my skin but not making it greasy. Which is exactly what I want from a moisturiser for oily/combo skin! So if you've got fairly oily skin, but like me suffer from the occasional dry patch, check this out!

Illamasqua Haul | Eurydice & Atomic Lipsticks

I decided to indulge in two lipsticks during the Illamasqua Easter Hunt sale, and I don't regret it one bit!

Illamasqua Lipsticks in Eurydice & Atomic: £16.00 each - Atomic looks a bit weird but all those bubbles are gone now. The only lipstick I've had from Illamasqua before was Fetish, and it was absolutely rubbish. But its a totally different story with these two. 

Eurydice is an insanely bright fuschia pink. It's matte and is quite a dry formula, but it lasts for ages on the lips! Thumbs up!

Atomic is probably now my favourite lipstick ever. Again, a bright fuschia pink, this has a touch more red to it and a beautiful purple/blue duochrome running through it. Despite the shimmer, the formula is again matte and the lasting power is outstanding! 

(P.S sorry for the rubbish lip shots, I didn't have time to make sure my lips were lined perfectly!)

Precision Blending Sponge | For Make Up Application

Sorry for not posting for a while, I've been so busy with Uni, and still am, but hopefully I can get a few posts lined up for the next couple of weeks! 

Precision Blending Sponge: £5.99 from TK Maxx - I've seen a few other bloggers post about these so I'm assuming you'll find them in TK Maxx's across the country! These are a pretty cheap alternative to the 'Beauty Blender', which will set you back nearly twenty quid! So I thought I'd give this a go. 

Basically you rinse it under the tap til it absorbs the water, give it a good squeeze and its ready to use! The round side is for areas like your cheeks and forehead, and the pointed side is for using round your nose! 

I really like it, especially with my Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation which is super thick. The sponge means I can just dab it on and it gives nice coverage, as its far too thick when applied with a buffing brush and it just looks rubbish with a stippling brush.

I'm really impressed, especially considering this isn't the real deal! I'd definitely consider buying a Beauty Blender now.

Sleek MakeUP | Mirrored Pink Blush

Another post on the new blush from Sleek! 

Sleek MakeUP Aqua Collection Limited Edition Blush in Mirrored Pink: £4.49 via Superdrug - This is the latest offering from Sleek, a new blush that's part of their Aqua collection. 

The packaging is pretty standard for Sleek, classy black with some extra writing to show this is a limited edition product. The outside box is really pretty but other than that theres nothing to shout about. 

But the colour itself, I could shout about that! It's a similar finish to their famous Rose Gold shade, except this blush is more of a blue pink and the shimmer is silver instead of gold! Its really pigmented and the texture is gorgeous, its not chalky in the slightest. 

This isn't a great swatch, but you get the idea. It really is a stunning colour and its a great bargain. The quality of Sleek blushes are great, I don't own that many but the ones I do have I really like! 

I'm not sure when they'll stop selling this, so if you like the look of it grab it while you can! :)
