Gosh Perfect Lift’n shape - waterproof.

So in this review, we’ve got to cover two things, 1.The mascara, and 2.How waterproof is it?

The mascara was a tiny bit clumpy, and, as you can see, it clumps you lashes together.

Now, the waterproofness. It took 5 minutes, 36 seconds to dry, but throughout the day it can become slightly sticky.

BUT, it is waterproof. To prove, I wore it in the shower, and it only smudged a tiny bit. 

It gets 6/10.

Tips for concealing spots.

  1. Buy some oil free moisturizer and, green concealer, and a tan like concealer.(The green evens out the red.)
  2.  Dab a small but of moisturizer on the spot.
  3. Now, Dab a small bit of green concealer on the spot.
  4. If you wish, apply foundation now.
  5. Use the darker (tan like) concealer.(not too much!)

Additional tips: DAB! don’t rub!

Maybelline Pure Mineral Liquid Foundation

Maybelline pure liquid foundation- ‘Make-up that’s good to skin-its proven.’

It’s fragrence-free,oil-free - breathable foundation for a healthy flawless look.

I would describe this foundation as sheer,mainly because its water based, so if you’ve got spots or pimples, it won’t cover them.So no, it’s not thick.The coverage is okay,not great on the forehead and nose area.So to make it better i had to mix it in with another foundation.I bought it in Ivory, and the shade was very yellow.Especially compared to Maybelline’s Satin touch, which is quite grey.It last around an hour.

It’s best applied with a foundation brush.

I would give it 4 and a half out of 10, because I started receiving spots shorty after using it.I only gave it marks because it could have been a lot worse!

Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to keep searching for the perfect drugstore foundation.

Any suggestions?

Bargains!

If your familiar with the clothes shop Awear, you will know that they have a Gosh make up stand in store.Today I had a look in, and saw eyeshadow’s were half price. Here’s what I picked up:

Jamacia was 6.99 euro and Green valley was 5.99 euro.

They have four color palettes in there also.

I was very happy when I picked up this Ed Hardy COLOR palette:

It is freaking amazing.

It includes:

Ed Hardy Eau de Parfum Solid
Ed Hardy Love and Luck Eau de Parfum Solid
6 Lip Colors and Glosses
6 Eye Shadows
3 Brushes
1 Face Bronzer

It also has a mirror, and when you open the doors of the mirror, lights are on the doors.

It comes in blue also, which has different shades.And, to make it better,it’s all under 20 euro, and £20, AND its also under $20.

MUST BUYS!

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation is made so that you have up to 12 hours natural shine control, and a fresh matte finish.It has chamomile to help calm,and cucumber to help clarify, cotton to help control shine and its also talc free,oil free,parben free,fragrance free.

Sounds good right?

No.This foundation is definitely one to stay away from.

It drys and sticks to your hand before applying almost immediately,As show in the photos here:

Under half a minute later:

You can see it drying up quite clearly.It’s so dry and sticky when applying which makes it patchy, and really does not do it’s job.It’s not matte.Full flashback also.

overall I would give this foundation 2/10. For the price (Around 7 euro) it really wasn’t worth it. It lasts, but looks dirty and gritty as if you had yesterdays make up on also.The colors are pretty bad too.
