Benefit Full Face Get Ready With Me Review...

Hey guys :)

So, some of you might have seen my YouTube video, where I did my entire makeup using only Benefit products.

If you haven't seen it, watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYXmuOHedu4 then come back and read this :)

So, I wanted to let you know what I thought of the final look.

I must say, I myself am surprised at how it turned out! I thought being a high end brand that I would be left with the most flawless looking face, but I was sadly mistaken.

I was left with a face where my pores were greatly exaggerated and the creasing under my eyes were somewhat similar to the wrinkles of an 80 year old! I looked TERRIBLE. I looked so bad, once I noticed truly how bad it was I took all my makeup off straight away!

BUT, it must be said that I have read that with the Hello Flawless foundation, you are supposed to leave it for a few minutes after applying to really set into the skin, before setting with a powder. And I didn't want, as I never have done with any other foundation before. So I am not against Benefit products at all, just because it turned out bad this once! As generally I absolutely love all the products I used, I had just never used them all together.

Here is the video, again. :)

Please can you all subscribe to my YouTube channel too :)

I will definitely be doing give aways once I reach certain numbers of subscribers too!

Thanks for reading,

Love, Abbie

Vichy Dermablend Foundation Review...

Hey everyone :)

So, I recently bought the Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation, after hearing only good things.

My first impressions of this foundation were amazing! But I soon realised there are some down sides to this foundation.

When I first apply this I am amazed by the coverage. It covers all of my blemishes, redness, spots, veins etc. But after a couple of hours this foundation is already wearing off the skin. It goes patchy, and feels cakey the longer you wear it. I don't have oily skin, and right now my skin isn't particularly dry either, as I have been using my Dermatique moisturiser. But this foundation always wears away on my skin, my nose, cheeks and forehead.

It is also very easy to use too much of this foundation, which can make it look very very cakey, but a little goes a very, very long way.

In my opinion this foundation is only suited for short term wear, because after an hour or two it starts to look very patchy and horrible. I've tried applying it with a brush, my hands, a sponge. And I have tried setting it with different powders, high end and drug store. And I have tried using different primers also, but the foundation always wears away after a couple of hours.

I would rate this product a 4/10, mainly for it's coverage, if it lasted longer and did not feel so cakey then it would undoubtably get closer to a 10/10.

You can buy this foundation here: http://www.boots.com/en/Vichy-Dermablend-Corrective-Foundation-with-SPF35-30ml_1481875/

It retails at £18.

Outfit and makeup of the day #1

So, I actually remembered to take a picture of my outfit today! So here is my first outfit of the day.

I didn't do much today, I just popped out to see my little cousins who I haven't seen for at least 6 years! The last time I saw them they were 3 and 4 years old, and now they are all 'grown up'!!

Anyway, here is what I wore.

I wore a fake leather jacket that I got from Primark AGES ago, literally years ago! A Bart Simpson big baggy top from H&M. And, a pair of black and dark grey stripy jeans from Republic a few years ago. I also wore a pair of black dolly shoes from Primark, the ones that are in my haul post from yesterday! They are so comfy! And despite being new they didn't rub at all. 

Briefly, the main things I used on my face were, Makeup Forever Step 1 Smoothing Primer, the Vichy Dermablend foundation, MAC Pro Longwear concealer and transparent finishing powder, MUA power brow, Benefit Gimme Brow, MUA Moziac bronzer, Maybelline Master Skulpt Contour powder, Milani Illuminating Face Powder in Beauty's Touch for blush, brown in the crease of my eye lid, a light pink shimmery colour in the center and MUR Foil Eyeshadow in Rose Gold on the inner corners, Elizabeth Arden mascara and MAC Velvet Teddy on the lips.

That's it :)

FIRST EVER YOUTUBE VIDEO...

Hey guys, so I decided (and finally convinced my boyfriend) to film the boyfriend does my makeup tag video!

And here it is http://youtu.be/UV53l6d8vAM

OMG he was so bad as it, and it all went downhill rather quickly after he did my foundation!

Here is the before and after!

The photo does not show truly how terrible it was! Haha.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! It was the first ever video I'd edited so it is really poor, but it'll do for my first attempt.

Love, Abbie
