Revlon Colorstay Under Eye Concealer

This concealer is from the Revlon Colorstay line, and personally I really like Revlon because the products usually work really well. 
This concealer has SPF 15 in it so it protects your under eyes from UVA and UVB damage, which is good because you don't really want some heavy sun-screen on your eyes. 
I brought the one in medium, and there are two shades, light and medium, which really bugs me because the medium one is actually quite light as well, so if you've got like, olive-y skin or darker, you probably won't be able to use it.
It gives a good coverage without feeling heavy or cakey, and it blends really easily as well, using your fingers or a brush will work perfectly. 
The only bad thing about it is that - you can probably tell from the picture- it comes in a VERY small package, and I only had it for a month or so, and it's already nearly all used up, so I guess I'll just have to go back to Boots and buy another one :(

Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder Review


Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder is a powder foundation that can also be used as setting power although it's not translucent powder, which I normally use to set my concealer and foundation.
I can't say that I don't like it, but I prefer using translucent powder like I said before, so when i use this powder I don't apply liquid foundation, I just use some concealer and this powder over it.
Sometimes I found that it made my skin a bit dry, like you could see the skin flaking off. :(
It doesn't look very cakey- or maybe that's just because I don;t use foundation-maybe- but I do prefer to use translucent powder under my eyes, because this doesn;t make your under eyes look a bit cakey.

Maybelline Colossal Express 100% Black Review


Maybelline Colossal Mascara!!!

I really love this mascara!!! It makes my (very thin and tiny) lashes look extremely full and it gived them lots of volume. The downside it that the brush it ENORMOUS so sometimes the mascara smudges a lot. The actuall mascara is quite thick, and it clumps a few times.

The Natural Collection Review


At Boots, there is a really cheap brand of makeup called 'the Natural Collection'. It's a brand by Boots so it's really cheap-£1.99 or under. When I was at Boots, the was on sale, 3 for 5 £5. Yes. 3 for £5. So I went ahead at bought some: Actually, I bought A LOT:
  • The Natural Collection Loose Powder in Neutral
  • The Natural Collection Coloured Foundation in Sand
  • The Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow - Mink and Sable
  • The Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow - Starlight and Midnight
  • The Natural Collection Concealer in Light
  • The Natural Collection Mono Eyeshadow Opal White
  • The Natural Collection Lipgloss - Sherbert Fizz
  • The Natural Collection Liquid Eyeliner Black
  • The Natural Collection Nail Varnish in Topaz
Yes. Nine items. Not all at once!! But yes. Nine items. I just want to say that the reason why I went back and bought more was that it's really cheap and it was quite good for the price.

I wouldn't EVER go back and buy any more makeup from there agian, because...look at the price! You can't get anything good quality for £1.99!!!
The foundation comes in a transparent squeesable bottle, and it is not a good foundation!! It doesn't stay on very long, in fact, you can wash it off with water, you can just see the color dripping off into the water. Same goes for the concealer. It doesn;t conceal, and is very hard to blend because it dries really fast, and the shades are very strange. I found that after I used it, the places where I put the concealer would flake off, and my skin would become really dry and flaky. It also doesn;t conceal very well. :(
Translucent powder is O.K. Its fine to use it once in a while, but I found that the texture of my skin would become really uneven, and it stopped when I stopped using the powder.

The eyshadow is meh. I use the black shadow the most, to line my eyes sometimes, I rarely use the other colors.
The lipgloss disappears literally 10 seconds after applying!! And I found that the smell went really werd after a while...
I have used A LOT of the nail varnish, but you will need to apply 2/3 coats to get a solid color.
