First Impressions - NYX stay matte but not flat

Oh Hi guys!

Been a while hey! But today I’m bringing you a first impressions review.

This NYX foundation has been out for a little while so yes I’m a tad late to the party but as I always say, better late than never.

I’d heard so many good reviews from others as well so I literally couldn’t not try it.

So I was amazed to find out how many shades it comes in - 30 to be precise. And within those shades there seems to be a colour for everyone. As always when ordering online it’s hard to judge what shade you need so I did buy a couple and ended up mixing my perfect shade. I mixed together ivory and medium beige. The size of the tube is 35mls which I great as foundations tend to be 30mls. And with a price of £6 you really can’t complain.

So for the part your all waiting for what did I think about it...

I loved it!

It applied really nicely and the coverage was fantastic. Although you wouldn’t really need to, it was also buildable without caking. It wears really well and I didn’t find my skin to look shiny hardly at all throughout the day which is another bonus. My skin type is combination so being oil free this is perfect for this skin type. However I’d love to hear if your skin type is dry and what you think about it as I feel it could work for you too. I feel this could quickly become a new favourite foundation.

Sleep Serenity

Do you sleep well?

For me, I'm pleased to say that it is quite rare that I struggle getting to sleep or even staying asleep. Don't get me wrong, I still need my routine to relax me to let me drift off into a slumber.

Hubby however went through a spell struggling to get to sleep and I'd heard this pillow mist was good so decided to give it a shot.

It's scented with the typical flavours that are said to be relaxing, lavender and camomile. Now usually for me I stay away from lavender as I just can't stand the smell, but, I have to say this one isn't too bad. I'm not sure if it's because it's mixed with the camomile or if it's just not that strong.

Anyhow soon as I got it, that night I sprayed it on mine and Paul's pillows.

What I did notice was that it wasn't overpowering when laying down. Bonus! As usual for me I drifted off pretty well. In the morning I asked Paul if it helped him and he wasn't so sure. He reckoned it still took a while to drift off.

I think basically for us it just gave us that fresh sheet feeling every night. Would Paul recommend it after further use.. unfortunately not. However I've found it does make a good room spray! Multi use product!

'Aloe Vera'

Oh hey!

Today's review is probably a random product to review seeing as summer is over, BUT I wanted to share it with you all anyway. And those of you off to sunny destinations over winter might like it!

Enhancer is what it's called. Doesn't give many clues away as to what it is does it. Well it's an aloe vera gel that I have found to be the BEST after sun lotion you could need.

I did naughtily get a little burnt over the August bank holiday as we had a day out on dads boat. Stupid but literally didn't realise it was as hot as it  was, so we all pretty much came home glowing.

Anyhow, I always use this product if my skins feeling hot to touch from a day in the sun. It instantly cools the skin and really moisturises and the same time. Why I love it more than alot of other after sun products?..

It doesn't leave skin sticky. I bloody hate that! Clothes sticking all on you and feeling like your clothes are getting more use from the lotion than your skin! Haha!

It's from the company Nuskin which is a network marketing company so no doubt someone on your Facebook is selling the products! Failing that you can visit their website - https://www.nuskin.com/en_GB/products/nuskin/face_care/moisturizers/97110308.html

Cost is around £18 for the 100ml tube.

I literally can't be without this product when I've caught the sun

Out 5 I give this 5/5

Girlz Only

Welcome, welcome!

I've decided to give 'Blogtober' a go. 

31 days, 31 quick fire reviews.

I want to review as many different products without all the long chatter in between. I want them to be straight to the point. Letting you know if I think there worth it or not!

Today's product is a dry shampoo from 'Girlz Only'. I've had this a whole so for the life of me cannot think where I exactly brought it but after googling you can get it in Tesco and I'm now pretty sure that's where I got mine. The price in Tesco as of today is actually just £1. Can't beat that price either hey. It lasts ages too.

I'm normally very much a Batiste lover and especially having darker hair loved that they done the one for dark haired girls, to save any white powdering looking hair.

That brings me only nicely to exactly why I LOVE this dry shampoo:

-No white residue left in hair✔️

-Hair is not left looking dull✔️

-Hair doesn't feel full of product✔️

-Great fragrances✔️

-Gives hair more volume✔️

Totally converted to this brand from now on!

Marks out of 5, I'd give this a solid 5/5
