New Maybelline Fit Me cosmetics


The new Maybelline Fit Me cosmetic range is Maybellines first customised make up system which contains no wax or fillers and the foundation is a gel based formulation.

The range is meant to make it easy to chose a foundation and a corresponding powder and concealer to match up.

My local Boots store didn't have too many shades so I picked a foundation in a shade closest to what I used in Rimmel ones but it is still a little too dark for me.

I have to admit I did chose the concealer and powder myself and didn't get what Maybelline recommended and they are much better suited to my skin colour. 

The powder is light weight but gives great coverage and the concealer isn't as heavy as I'd like. I'd maybe use my referred concealer first and then use this one to reapply but I would use this one on it's own.

Overall I do like this range, the formulations are good, even though the concealer could be a little thicker in consistency but everything is workable.

Have you tried this range? What did you think?

The foundation is £7.99 and the power and concealer are both £5.99. I find it a little hard to believe that you get so much more product in the foundation for just a couple of pounds more, I would have expected it to be around the £10 mark but I'm not going to complain!

Haul - Primark & a competition win!

Just a super quick haul post to show what I bought when I went shopping last week. I only had £20 as until I start my new job & get some decent wages I'm currently poor, poor, poor!

Primark


Floral skirt - £5

I was drawn to this like a moth to a flame! Just love the pattern. I've worn this with a navy vest top and it looked fab. It has an elasticated waist so is good if you've over indulged at lunch time!


Close up, perfect summer print!


Black skirt - £5 (rubbish photo, sorry!)

I saw this hung up on a rail, it looked like a rail of stuff to go back out but it turns out it was a reduced rail. This was meant to be £12 but was reduced to a fiver! Bargain! 


Stripy top - £4

My mum bought me this and it's a sort of hanky hem top. Nice and airy for summer.


Plaited hairband - £1.50

I've been after one of these for ages and found them in Primark in Meadowhall, Sheffield, but the queue was so long and I wasn't waiting in it just to buy a hairband so I put it back. Then I had trouble finding another one but I managed to track one down! But when trying it on at home it's a tad too light for my hair :-( 


Competition win!


Ages ago Fabulous magazine from the News of the the World offered you the chance to win one of 3,000 Maybelline One by One mascaras to the first 3,000 people who voted in their beauty awards. I completely forgot about this so entered quite late on the first day it was up not expecting to win anything. Then low and behold a couple of weeks ago I came home to find this baby on my door mat!

I haven't tried it yet as I have about 5 mascaras open so I'm using those up. Needless to say I'm excited to give it a try as I've heard good stuff about it.


So there we have it, Im sure I had some other stuff to put on but I can't think what. Anyway hope you enjoying reading and looking!

EOTD - L'Oreal and Maybelline

I haven't done one of these before because I'm no good at all these fancy eye shadow techniques, I just apply one colour and then abit of mascara! I should really play around more and get into watching YouTube tutorials!

So here is my first EOTD:


Not very adventurous but I wear this colour all the time. It's great to wear for any occasion.


So what did I use:
Eyeshadow - L'Oreal Real Silver holographic
Eyeliner - Maybelline gel liner
Mascara - L'Oreal waterproof Telescopic in black

Also you may notice from the ginormous photos, yes I agree they are quite scary, I don't wear mascara on my lower lashes, does anyone else just wear it on their top ones like me? I'm not sure why I don't but I don't think I ever have, I suppose it's just one of those things!

Hope you enjoyed this change in post!

Haul - Clothes, shoes and more!

The last couple of days I've been shopping to get some things for my new job as I don't have a uniform. But of course I got a few more things too!

Next Clearance
Spotty top - £6 (was £14)



Clarks
Regatta coat - £20 (was £36)


Shoes - £31.99 (was £54.99)



Boots
Maybelline eyestudio eyeshadow - £6.99
Revlon colorstay eyeshadows - £7.99
Maybelline gel liner - £7.99
All cosmetics are currently on 3 for 2 so I got the Maybelline eyeshadow free!



 The Works
Books - 3 for £5



Asda
Cream top - £6

This was an absolute bargain! I have a bigger one which I used for my make up and thought this little one would be perfect to keep my lipsticks and hair grips and bobbles in.


I have another shopping trip coming up next week to get a few more bits that I need and then I'll be sorted!
