Dainty Doll Frankie Girl Eyeshadow Base | Review

Hi guys!

Dainty Doll is a brand created by the Girls Aloud star, Nicola Roberts, and I love it. I had my eye on this eyeshadow base, which I have spotted on the likes of Fragrance Direct and other discount places, but...I found this little guy in a POUND SHOP! What?! I nearly jumped around on the spot. I also got an eyeshadow, which will be shown soon in the next few weeks.

This eyeshadow base is a very pale white-beige, which and is a semi-matte, but still has a slightly sticky texture on the eyes, to help the shadow cling to it. Because it is so pale, it really helps the colour intesity too.

I used this the other day, and noticed hardly any creasing with my eyeshadow, and that is an achievement, as normally mine slides off during the day - not a good look. But this really helps that, so I am pretty happy with it!

Have you tried this? Try having a browse in any discount shops or maybe in pound stores, I keep seeing some good bargains in there!

Gosh Soft 'n' Shine Lip Balm (Barbie) | Review and Swatches

Hi guys!

As you may know, I already own a lot of Gosh Soft 'n Shine Lip Balms, and Barbie is one of them. When I was sent this one for review, I was so excited, because the one I have at the moment, melted, and broke. This one is so perfect! Well, it was, until I scraped it on the window, when I was waving it around going mental. Barbie is a stunning bright medium pink creme colour, with no shimmer, and has a sheen/glossy finish to it, and smells like vanilla. What more could you want from a lip colour?!

The lasting power of these is average, and last for at least an hour at a time, because as it is a balm rather than a stain/balm stain or a lipstick, it doesn't cling to the lips as much, it just makes the look more glossy, but the colour is highly pigmented.

I really love these balms, and I have 8 of them now.. Is that excessive? I suppose if you find a good product, you like to have lots of shades of them! But I have a feeling that they are discontinued now..:( 
Have you tried any of these?

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation | Review

Hi guys!

I love the Revlon Colorstay foundation, and when it was coming to the end of its bottle, I decided to give the new(ish) Nearly Naked Foundation a try. I'm going on holiday soon so I am trying to find a lighter foundation with a higher SPF. When I first tried this I was a little shocked at the lower coverage, as I was so used to the Colorstay. But I am kind of getting used to it, but a repurchase of Colorstay may be needed, as I have quite a few blemishes, so I like to cover that.

This is what the shade Vanilla looks like in real life!

Sorry about how dark the foundation looks in the next 2 pictures, there wasn't much good lighting.

The lighting has made it look REAAAL Dark in these pictures..

I would have liked a pump for this foundation, as when the bottle is fairly new, you end up having to try and put more back into the bottle, which is slightly annoying. The packaging is average, with a glass bottle (not as greta for travelling) and a white lid.

I have a combination skin from what I have tried to know from my skin, and this is the one thing I may have to fault about the foundation. This has a glowy finish to it, nothing like a matte-satin finish that the Colorstay gives. I find that because of this, it doesn't hold up on my skin as well as I would like, and I have to reapply concealer a few times. Sometimes I think this would be better if I just had good skin.

Have you tried this foundation? Let me know what you think of it!

Sleek Face Form Review

Hi guys!

Since I purchased this product in January, it has been used every day I have worn makeup in some way or another, and I still have a pretty good amount of it left. This little palette costs £9.99 and you get a blush (I think it is the Rose Gold Blush by Sleek), a highlighting powder, and a bronzer/contour colour. The Sleek blushes and contour kits are much raved about by bloggers, and this is those 2 things, smashed into one palette.
 

L-R: Countour, Highlighter, Rose Gold Blush

You get a pretty decent amount of product in this palette too, it's £3.33 per 'pan' if you think about it, which is such a bargain!

The sleek packaging is sleek. As cheesy as it sounds, it's true. It actually came in a small box/'sleeve' but it got a little battered. It is matte black (which I will admit gets dirty very easily) but with the glossy writing over the top, it looks so nice. Matte black packaging is my weakness, which is strange, but that's the way it is?

Swatched, you can see the incredible pigmentation of these products. The blush is something you have to be very careful with, as it can look too much in a matter of taps with your brush on the pan. But if used correctly, it adds a glowing wash of colour to the cheeks.

The contour colour and the highlight are lovely for adding a stunning sculpted effect to the skin, without looking shiny from the highlight, or muddy from the contour. I really do love this product.

This was a bit more of an in-depth review today, let me know what you think of it! Remember to ENTER MY GIVEAWAY as there is only a few hours left!
