New Collection 2000 HORRID Foundation!

Okay so basically i usually use Collection 2000 Naturally Radiant foundation which i really like and i've heard that some of the other Collection 2000 foundations are good and whilst i was shopping i saw they have a new one out. I'm running out of my usual one and so i thought i'd try the new one and see what it's like, their new foundation is called Naturally Matte and it is HORRIBLE.

I used it the next day and i was so disappointed! The foundation is really watery and when you apply it it just does not blend in, it goes patchy and dries horrible and if you try to blend it it rubs off like a rubber when you rub out pencil and it has no coverage what so ever just ajuhnriuhreu ergh. DO NOT like this at allllll! When i was like 12 years old i bought the Natural Collection £1.99 foundation and if you have ever tried this you will know how absolutely vile this foundation is and i have to say the Collection 2000 one reminds me of this! So today i went and bought my usual naturally radiant foundation which i love, so Collection 2000 are not completely in my bad books!

I will never be using this foundation again and i felt like i just had to write this post as i dont want any of you guys to waste your money on this horrid product! Also i felt i needed to have a rant and let out my dissapointment....

DO NOT USE THIS FOUNDATION! (unless you want to look like patchy the brown and white dog)

E.L.F. Products!

So I ordered some products from e.l.f and after using them I thought i'd let you know what I think of them! On their facebook page i saw that they had an offer on which i think was 10% off when you spend £15 so that's what I did! I'm only going to be showing you three of the products as the rest is for part of my friends birthday present and just in case she see's it on here haha!

 

 Okay so the first thing is the mineral lipstick in barely bitten, i got really excited as im allergic to an ingredient which is in loads of lipsticks and i discovered that it's not in some of the e.l.f. ones so i can use them! Usually the only ones I can use are more expensive ones so im so happy ive found the e.l.f. ones! As you can see the colour is totalllly different to how it looks, even in real life the lipstick looks the same as the picture on the website but for some reason is totally different on your lips! However I still like the colour it comes out and it makes a different to my usual pink colours! It's a really nice texture and doesn't feel at all drying on my lips so I think i'll be ordering a few more!

The second thing is a nail polish which i'm a bit unsure why it's called fluorescent pink as it is not fluorescent at all, it's actually quite a pale pink! As you can see it looks slightly paler than the websites picture and has a bit more of a coral colour to it, although i like the colour i don't think it's anything special! I think it would be quite nice for the summer but i'm not sure I will wear it that often compared to my other, more interesting nail varnishes! 

The third thing is the clarifying pressed powder which I thought was really good as it's only £1.50 and it has ingredients in such as zinc which are good for your skin! The colour is perfect for my skin and it doesn't smell funny or anything, the only downside is it's a bit smaller than your usual pressed powder, but for £1.50 you can't really complain! I really like it because as you can see in the picture it doesn't make my skin completely matte, it still has a glow to it whilst taking away the shine and keeping my make up on for longer so im definitely a fan of this product and will be buying it again!

Hope you enjoy this post, Emily xxx

HAUL: h&m, new look, primark, superdrug

This isnt a lot but just a few bits ive bought recently!

The stripy skirt is from h&m and is £12.99, it has a zip down the front and two little zip pockets. I bought a plain black boobtube from primark to wear with it but for some reason it came up a bit small so i had to get a size 6 when im usually a size 8, it has a little ruched bit at the top which adds a little detail to it and was only £2.50!
The next picture is a blouse from primark which you can also get with pink down the front but they didn't have any pink ones! The buttons are hidden except for three at the top which is quite cool and although you can't see it, the triangle ends of the collar are blue aswell.
I ran out of dry shampoo and thought i'd try the superdrug one as it's only 99p and i'd say it works exactly the same as the batiste one and it also smells really nice!
I bought some sudocrem to put on my face because my friend said it's really good at reducing redness and im definitely really happy with it! And although alot of people don't like the smell i actually love the smell of it! I work part time in a pharmacy and got it there for about £2
The two middle pictures are actually a giant ring i bought from new look, its bright pink and has tiny little gems around the edge and although you can't tell in the picture, it is huge! I think it was about £4.99 but was buy one get one free so i got the earrings in the picture next to the ring. The picture just would not focus but they're made of loads of different little shaped gems and they kind of shine different colours in the light! I think they were £3.99 but i got them free with the ring!
I bought these eyelashes as i thought they looked quite thick but still quite natural, at least compared to my normal false eyelashes! They're pre-glued but do not stick at alll so you'd have to use a different eyelash glue such as eyelure for them! They were £1.99 and i also got these from the pharmacy i work in
The next picture is some false nails i got from primark which were only £1!! Theyre bright red with white polka dots and i love them, i got them to wear to a party because my nails have all broken and are horrible atm! I got quite a few compliments on them at work so definitely a good buy for a pound!
I usually use the Rimmel 25 Hour Foundation and i buy it from the pharmacy i work in but they had ran out of my colour and i had to get a foundation as i had completely ran out! So i tested a few on my hand and got this Collection 2000 one which i would say is actually really similar to the Rimmel 25 hour one and its a bit cheaper, i think about £3.99!
The lipbalm really isn't interesting but i just thought i'd chuck it in, im allergic to an ingredient in so many lip products so this is one of very few lipbalms i can use! But as its E45 its really good moisturising so i dont mind! I got it from work and i think it was about £2 something!
The last thing is a few herbal essences products i got from superdrug as theyre all half price at the moment! I got all 3 products for about £5.50 so i was really pleased with that! I got dazzling shine shampoo and conditioner which smells SOOO good i just love washing my hair with it! I also got the smooth and soft intensive mask which also smells really nice! The whole range of these herbal essences products smell so nice but my favourite is the smell of dazzling shine! When i use these three products they do exactly what they say, ive only used them once and they made my hair so soft and shiny so i am really loving these at the moment!


I've ordered a few products from e.l.f. make up after i saw a blog post on them and decided to try them, some of their lip products don't contain the ingredient im allergic to and they're only £1.50-£3.50 yay! I'm definitely way more excited than i should be! They also had 20% off so i thought i'd make an order whilst that offer was on, they should be arriving soon so when they come i will do a blog post on them!
