LIGHT REFLECTING PRIMER

When it comes to makeup I have to consider my extremely awkward skin, which is combination/oily and prone to blemishes! This means that the products I choose have to actually stay on my face throughout the whole day. Unfortunately I haven't found a foundation that does this independently hence I have to use a primer - which smooth's the skin and helps everything stay in place.

One thing that is consistent with all primers is the price - they aren't cheap! I have been through so many different brands over the past year before I stumbled across this bargain whilst in Wilko's. The 'light reflecting primer', which is currently priced at £4, is really effective and only the smallest amount is needed to smooth out the whole face.

The only negative about this product is that it doesn't work as well if applied immediately after moisturiser (but this could vary depending on individual skin types).

(Apart from that) this is a 'faultless' product which I highly recommend.

What other primers should I try?

COLLECTION 'NO CLUMPS' MASCARA REVIEW

For my first beauty post I thought I'd keep it simple (and hopefully interesting) so what better than a review of my favourite mascara!

 

Mascara completes any and every makeup 'look' so getting it right (for you) is vital. I have been using this mascara for over a year (since it first came out) and I can honestly say it's bloomin' brilliant! On the side it reads 'for beautifully defined lashes' and from my own experience I can see this is no lie, the mascara enhances the individual lashes without clumping-another promise (suggested in the name) Obviously no mascara is completely 'clump-proof' if you go lash happy, but as long as you only apply a sustainable number of coats you should have no problems.

 

This mascara is probably best after its first few uses, where there isn't a lot or too little inside the tube. But honestly, there isn't really a difference throughout its life of (about) 3 months

 

While using this mascara I haven't really had the need to try others but a few have landed into my makeup bag. These were more expensive than the great value £2.99 but no where near as good quality.
 

I would without a doubt recommend this mascara to anyone who wants 'beautifully defined' lashes at an affordable price.

Let me know if you try this mascara out or whether you have your own favourite mascara.
