Monthly Favourite: November!

Hello lovelies! I can't believe November has already passed by me! Time flies!


So here are my favourite products that I have used a lot during November!


1. Carmex Moisture Plus. £3.49
My old lip balm (Carmex Cherry lip balm, tube packaging) ran out so I had to buy a new one since my lips will probably not be very happy! So I bought the new Carmex Moisture Plus since I just saw a magazine recommending it.

The lip balm came in a standard lipstick packaging, since I purchased the clear one, the lip balm just looked like normal vaseline. But when I applied it on, first thing I noticed was that it did not have the normal nasty Carmex taste, instead it had a more buttery, vanila-ish taste! The product was also very moisturising, perfect for application before lipstick! The slanted tip was also ver helpful in application. Overall, a very happy customer.

2. Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer

Ah, this is an all time favourite of mine. I love this concealer as it suits my skin tone perfectly and lasts a very long time. This has a quite good coverage as well, the applicator was also quite smart as it is good at locating blemishes. However the only thing I did not like was the packaging, not that it did not look good or anything, the product sometimes leak, leading to a major concealer leakage in my make up bag.


3. Rimmel Natural Bronzer Powder, £5.59
I have to be honest, I have been looking for a bronzer for ages. Since the 3 for 2 offer at Superdrug, I decided to give this product a go. All I can say is that this is indeed, very natural, great for contouring cheekbones, this can even be used as a blush! The pigmentation is not very heavy meaning that the colour can be built up to your liking. Again, the packaging is a problem for me... it is not very secure as there is just a plastic lid over it... surely there should be something to secure that plastic lid...?


4. Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick by Rimmel, £5.49
I have wanted to try this lipstick out for ages since when I tested it out I found that it was quite pigmented. I purchased shade 3(warm nude)  and 8(dark purple). I am cool with the nude colour, great coverage, true to colour, great. But I have really fallen in love with the darker shade as it creates a beautiful dark red colour on your lips when a thin coat has been applied! Only problem was that it was not as long lasting as it stated and I had to reapply it after a few hours.


That is pretty much all of the products. Anything you would like me to review? Post a comment to let me know!


Stay tuned for more!
