Review: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer

In my 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty post a few weeks ago I mentioned that I always forget to use primer and hadn't actually repurchased one since my GOSH one ran out. Well whilst I was in boots last week I picked up the Rimmel Fix & Perfect pro primer, I got it in 002 because its all they had which is a creamy colour but I think 001 may be clear but I'm not sure.

The consistency is nice and it feels nice on my skin which is good. Normally I can't see a difference when I use primer but this actually really compliments my foundation and makes it look flawless. I think in the summer I could possibly just use this instead of foundation as it does make my skin look really good.

The only negative point I have to make about this primer is the smell. It is quite strong and almost chemical ish. But you don't notice it when its on the skin so overall I really like this product and can see myself using it a lot this year.

You can but Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer at Boots for £6.99.

Have a great day girls!

My Scent of February

I haven't actually brought any fragrances this month but if I was to go out and pick one then there would be one clear winner. That winner would be the Soap &Glory Eau De Soap and Glory Original Pink. It is the classic Soap and Glory scent in a perfume and if you have read any of my previous S&G posts you will know I always say how much I love the scent.

As you know I am not the best a describing scents so I thought I would just tell you what the perfume experts have to say about it. 'Eau de Soap & Glory Original™ perfume spray with fresh citrus top notes of orange leaf, lemon, peach and sweet strawberries, with a sparkling heart of mandarin, summer rose, gardenia blooms and jasmine, resting on a soft woody base of patchouli, warm amber and lush musks.' Pretty much sums it up really.

If you love the smell of 'Hand food' and 'The Rightous Butter' then you will love this scent as much as I do and for £16.50 for 50mls at Boots why not treat yourself to a bottle this month.

Have a great day girls!

Review: No 7 Vital Brights Cream Blush

Today I decided to review No.7's new cream blush. Whilst I was in Leeds last weekend I picked up another item from their new spring collection and that was the Vital Brights Cream Blush in Blooming Pink. This is the first cream blush I have tried and am happy to say that I am impressed. I was scared to try it at first as in the pan it is quite a bright coral colour and I think if I put it on wrong I would have looked like a clown or one of them scary china dolls both of which are not the look I aim for.

The formulation is really nice and although it is a cream blush it does not make my skin feel oily or sticky which was also a worry for me as I tend to get quite oily skin. The blush costs £10 available at Boots and also comes in a gorgeous bright pink called 'Blossoming Pink' which I may also have to purchase.

I don't know what it is with the No7 spring collections but I always find myself lusting after them and end up buying quite a few products from the line. I absolutely love the highlighter which looks beautiful on the skin and I never normally bother with highlighters but this may have to also be purchased. Oh and the packaging on the blush is much better than the lipsticks.

Go take a look on the Boots website at the new collection and let me know what you think.

Have a great day girls!
