Random Reviews

 I must admit that I really liked doing this series because there are so many different things, brands and price points that everyone will find something interesting for themselves, regardless of their preferences. Dedicated posts are also more often focused on the new launches but after all, the "older" cosmetics are also still very popular and the information about them can also be helpful.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Link

This primer has been on the market for several years and is very popular, but it never appealed to me enough to spend £29. It is a typical colorless silicone base which shauld smoothes skin’s appearance and blurs flaws. It spreads easily and doesn't give such a unpleasant silicone feeling like many products of this type because has a very watery formula. Both the foundation and other cosmetics are easy to apply on her. Doesn't dry out the skin, irritate and does not clog pores with frequent use, at least I haven't experienced nothing like that.

Coloured Raine Vivid Pigment Magnetic Palette

Link

Empty magnetic palettes are not a very fascinating topic for a separate post but still many of you probably need a good quality palette to keep your singles, so random reviews are the perfect place :). I bought this palette over two years ago and as you can see it still looks like new and even was with me in Fuerteventura, Milan, Poland and Crete wow. It has a large mirror, holds up to 16 standard single pans and is very well made. Currently is withdrawn from sale, but I'm sure that their other magnetic palettes are just as good, so if you are looking for a good one that will last for years and with which you can easily apply makeup, Coloured Raine offer is the perfect place to looking for!

Simple x Little Mix Limited Edition Cleansing Micellar Water

Link

I have been using this micellar water for a long time, I even had one more bottle because it was a offer, buy one and get another one for free. It is a micellar water suitable for all skin types. Costs £4.39 per 400 ml. When it comes to main task namely cleaning the skin, is working so so. I had a lot of better ones but it's also not bad. To thoroughly remove all dirt, rest of the makeup etc., we definitely have to repeat the process several times, which makes it inefficient. It doesn't seems to dry out the skin immediately after use but with frequent using, I noticed that my complexion became duller and less lively. I will finish this bottle, but I will not buy it again. Definitely Garnier or Bioderma is working much better!

Zoeva 240 Luxe Petit Pencil Brush

Link

I bought 240 Luxe Petit because I needed something smaller for such a more precise work and it seemed perfect for that. Unfortunately, in fact is not as small as it appeared on the store photo. It is definitely too wide for, for example making an eyeliner line or pattern, and at the same time too small for underlining the lower eyelid or the inner corner. Its only purpose is to emphasize the cut crease line or to blend the line / create such a somky effect, which in both cases I can also do by much cheaper brushes. Costs £9 and has a very good quality but I regret buying it because I don't reach for this brush at all :(.

Duo On Striplash Adhesive Glue 

Link

I already had red and blue versions and unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of them, but I gave Duo one last chance. What immediately distinguishes the green version is the applicator in the form of a brush, not a squeezable tube which makes work easier and ensures comfort. At the beginning, it has an ultra-violet color but after drying out it's invisible and more compact in consistency than the others, thanks to which it doesn't create a mess when the lashes moves / jumps back. Dries quickly and sticking on lashes is very easy, even for less advanced people it will be great. The lashes last all day until they are taken off. I'm not a lash master but since I have this glue, the whole process is much easier and faster, so I know that I will buy it again. Great glue for not a big money. Definitely the best glue from the entire Duo range.

Superdrug Procare Whitening Toothpaste

Link

I bought this paste, to be honest mainly because of the price. It cost only £1.99 ( very ofen is on sale for £1) but I have to admit that it doesn't differ from the branded and much more expensive ones. It refreshes sensationally, has a pleasant fresh scent, cleans and additionally whitens, so fulfills all manufacturer's promises and I will be happy to buy it again. If you will be in a Superdrug then is worth adding this toothpaste to the basket, generally their own brand has really good quality products.
