Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

I got this BB Cream because it is EVERYWHERE!! Im sure you have turned on your TVs or opened a magazine and seen this BB Cream somewhere. So because it is everywhere, it must be a good product? I certainly like it. BB Creams are good to use insted of a foundation or a tinted moisturiser because BB Creams I find to be a good balance of the two. When I compare this BB Cream to the L'oreal Paris BB Cream, I do prefer the Maybelline one because I find it a lot lighter on my skin. For myself, personally, the Maybelline BB Cream is more moisturing for me than the L'oreal BB Cream. L'oreal Paris is better in terms of coverage, however this Maybelline beaut is better for your skin in terms of moisturisation  and the protections it offers.

The formula in this Maybelline BB Cream claims to provide its user with 8 factors that perfect your skin. This BB Cream claims to blurr imperfections, leaves you a natural glow and a fresh feeling. Also it complements your skin tone and make sit smooth and hydrating. There is an impressive SPF 20 in the formula which is perfect for the summer. Lastly it claims to be non greasy because its formula is not oil based. That therefore makes it great for oily skin and also good for dry skin because it does have a moisturising agent in the formula.

It is easy to apply. Use your finger tips to blend it into your skin. You do not have to use a moisturiser before hand but it effectively is your moisturiser. I recommend using concealor for blemishes because this BB Cream does not have a lot of coverage and I like the extra insurance that my blemishes, dark circles etc, looks as covered as it can be. However that issue is down to your preference and what works for you. We all have different skin after all!

This BB Cream comes in four different shades that are adaptable to your skin tone, however I do recommend that you swatch this product on the back of your hand before you buy it, just to make sure it is just right for you.

I got mine for £7.99 from Boots (great because I got some Boots points too!). Also Boots have a 3 for 2 deal on all Maybelline products right now (for a limited time). However if Boots is not in your reach, any Maybelline counter should store this BB Cream.

Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara

What I love about this mascara is its wearability. Good mascaras look good in the day. Good mascaras look good in the night. Great mascaras look good day and night!

I saw this particular mascara advertised on TV and thought I had to try it! When I first got it I thought not very much of it because the packaging looked slightly cheap, however never judge a mascara by its packaging! This mascara took me by surprise, in fact. I immedietely noticed a difference in colour, length and volume. Whilst wearing this during the day I found it hard for this mascara to budge anywhere. It did stay put. In saying that, this mascara was easy to remove at night with a simple makeup remover. I love that also about this mascara because there is no fussing with it. You want it there - its there. You want it off - one wipe and its off.

The formula is unique to the rest of the Maybelline mascaras because of it is thier first fibre extension mascara, this means when applied to your lashes, fibres are sealed into your lashes, hence making them longer and fuller! Now Maybelline claim that this mascara adds 4mm to your lashes. Im not so sure of that because I never measured (not that I think I can without looking silly and asking someone to hold the ruler!), however I did notice a nice longer length which is the main thing!

After

I bought mine from Boots! Maybelline is currently on offer there aswell - Buy one get one half price on selected Maybelline products! I got mine for £8.49. I'm sure there are SO many places to where you can purchase this mascara!

My overall verdict.. if this mascara is illegal then it is worth going to jail for!

Maybelline New York Colour Sensational Popsticks

Not your average looking lipstick you say? You are right it is even better!! This lipstick reminds me of a friend of mine who does not like wearing lipstick, because these Popsticks feel nothing like lipstick. A lipstick gives a colour, whereas these popsticks gives back your natural colour! I would discribe this product as a way of providing your lips with a natural tint by enhancing your natural pout pigment.

The actual colour that this Lipstick gives is translucent, but the liquid pigments in the formula adapt to your lips natural colour, but it takes it slightly further by evening out the colour of your lips. They smell great! The colour that I have is 010 Pink Sugar. It has a nice fruity smell.

The packaging reminds me of a neon rave, which I think is good because when a lipstick is deep in the abyss of your huge bag, you want the packaging to be able to stand out so you can easily find it. I think this particular lipstick is good for the summer because I found it conditions my lips aswell as filing out their natural colour. Also when the weather is hot, a sticky lipgloss can sometimes feel a bit too much and heavy, so this product would be the perfect alternative!

If you do feel lost without your gloss then a lipgloss over this product is fine. I would go for a clear gloss, as your natural shade will still be on show. Or maybe a touch of balm if you find your lips need more hydration. The skies the limit here - this product is versatille. There are 5 different colours to choose from.

I purchased this product from Boots. I was unable to find this product on Maybellines website, for some strange reason. However the link to Boots is below so check it out if you like it! I reccommend this lipstick for 2 reasons:
1. It is not a lipstick, or lipgloss so try something different :)
2. You cannot go wrong with natural and beautiful lips :)
