Foundation | Rimmel Wake Me Up

As from the picture above you can see this post is about the rimmel wake me up foundation.
I have been using this popular drug store foundation since july this year.
I had seen my favourite beauty vlogger Tanya Burr (pixie2woo) on youtube using this in her tutorials. If you havent yet watched her on youtube, you must go and watch, she is a professional makeup artist and knows her stuff!
This foundation is less than 10 pounds and I think it lives up to its name and price.
The packaging is a funky clear bottle with a huge orange lid.
When using the foundation I apply with a brush, as I find it gives more even coverage.
To start with  I found this foundation had a lovely light, smooth texture. On the skin it feels really fresh and dewy. Not heavy and cakey one bit. It doesn't have much of smell. Not pungent like some facial products can be.
The coverage is good for my skin, I bought it in the shade ivory. I have a few blemishes and redness from time to time and this does the trick nicely. It gives your skin a really smooth and glowy finish and has a sparkle in the formula. I must admit (i think)this is what gives you the radiant/bright/wakemeup look.
I swatched this onto my hand for this picture
as you can see there is a shiny finish, so maybe if you have oily skin type, I would maybe refrain from using this product, or you might want to apply a powder to your oily areas after.
I haven't been using a pressed powder over this as its been summer, however coming to winter I prefer a matte/velvet finish so will be applying a powder over this.
I use this foundation daily, it gives me enough coverage for day to night.
It also have SPF 15, which is great for anytime of year.
Between wake me up and  Bourjois healthy mix, i would reach for this more as the finish looks more even to me.
I can barely feel the product on my face which is always an advantage.
Hope you have enjoyed the read,
Bye for now.

Nails Inc |Gatwick (Matte)

Well hello there, I know its been over a year since my last blog post, but hey ho and I'm here now.
To start with I thought I would show you one of my favourite autumn/winter nail varnishes. I only got this a couple of days ago, however its made a huge impact on my nail varnish collection. This meaning I am so in love with this colour I will rarely change it. Its the Nails inc London (matte) gatwick nail varnish. At first glance I thought it looked great in the bottle however I wasn't rushing to apply this colour as I thought it might be great for Christmas but not for late September.
As soon as i put this polish to my nails, I knew it was going to be an fall fave!
 The matte application gives it a dull finish, which I think is perfect for the autumn.
The cosistency of the polish is smooth and consistent. A lot better than a matte colour I have used from Avons range. I refrained from applying a top coat as I didnt want it to become shine and it did chip quite a bit. So I applied a a thin layer of top coat and it didnt affect the matte too much, and it lasted much longer. 
I know nails inc can be a pricey nail varnish to most of us but when you find something you like, you just cant resist. I will be definitely trying some more of the matte colour range and digging out a few of my own for the months ahead.
Thanks for reading,
Bye for now.

Regan Chelsea |New Blogger



Hello there..
Just want to give you a quick introduction and explain what you will be expecting to see on this blog in the near future!
I am 23 year old female who lives in Manchester.
I enjoy shopping, eating out, camping, holidays, nail varnishes, reality tv, reading blogs and watching Youtube videos.

I wanted to start to this blog because I find so interesting and reliable to read other peoples thoughts on products etc. So I thought some one, somewhere might want to hear my thoughts and opinions.

 I'm going to update my blog with reviews of  beauty, hair, nail, jewellery, recipes and many more things I have used/worn/experienced.

All opinions are my own and the things I will be reviewing are things I genuinely have an interest in.

  As well as this, there will be posts based on my lifestyle, things I like to do, places I have visited and any interesting experiences I have had
.
It's all fun and I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for reading,
Regan Chelsea
