A couple of new products I've been trying this week . . . .


Last week I purchased a couple of things which I have been using regularly so just thought I'd do a little post on what I thought if them :)

The first was L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Anti-Dull Skin Primer I got the one for light skin which is a pinky colour. I saw this product recommended by SWalker Makeup on YouTube and couldn't wait to give it a go, however I have to say I was disappointed! I've been using it every day under my make up as a primer but I don't think it really makes any difference to my skin or to my make up! Even though the one I bought was for light skin I would say it is possibly a bit to dark for my skin tone, which is very pale, when I first apply it it looks like I've got really bad dark foundation on, which is never a good look! What a waste of £7.99! In terms of plus points it is easy to apply and feels quite light on the skin but other than that didn't do much for me, won't be re-purchasing this!

The second product I got was the Revlon Colour Stay Foundation. For day to day I usually always use Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation in Warm Ivory as it's a great match for my skin tone however I was looking for something new to wear with fake tan, which I usually only wear at weekends. I wanted something with a good coverage, which would last all night & match the colour of my tan. I have to say this product ticked all the boxes! I've never really used many Revlon products before but had heard good things about this foundation so thought I would check it out. I was a bit weary of it as first it said it was for combination / oily skin & my skin is dry so wasn't sure how it would react to it but it looked really good. Very impressed with it, looked as good at the end of the night as it did at the start! Also have to add, the woman working on the Revlon stand in Boots was very helpful & was a great help in picking a matching shade & also recommending other products to a big thank you to her! :) I will defiantly be adding more Revlon to my make up collection in the future!
