Foundation Review - Revlon Colourstay normal/dry skin

So... im just gonna keep it short and sweet, because as you can probably tell from that last photo, im knackered! This foundation is medium coverage and i apply it with a flat-head buffer brush by eco tools, however it drys quite quick so you have to work it in pretty fast, im looking to buy some makeup sponges to give a better coverage and easier application. it has some slight shimmers in it which gives it a light reflecting look. anyway it lasts all day long so its great for that. im pretty happy and this is my 3rd bottle although i havnt had any for a year or so.

Little Haul :)

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/7149457/?claim=84u64wb98qf">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
Revlon Colourstay Foundation in Ivory - £12.49
Barry M Gelly Nail paint in Prickly Pear - £3.99
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara in  Black - £10.99
B. Radiant Under Eye Concealor in Light - £5.49
Soap and Glory Supercat Liquid Eyeliner - £6

so i went to Superdrug and boots to get these few things, i was planning on getting Revlons Photoready foundation after reading loads of great reviews but when i swatched some on my hand it seemed super shimmery! so i went back to an old favorite of the Revlon Colourstay which i love love love and used a few times in the past before trying some new ones. I got the one specifically for normal to dry skin in Ivory, it also has an SPF of 15 so thats a plus! hopefully we will get some sun...
The mascara is another major favorite of mine so that was a no brainer really, i just get disappointed when trying new mascaras because they never measure up to this one!
The gelly nail paint ive been looking forward to trying and have already applied it, i will do a review in a few days time.
Ive had countless eyeliners in my life and heard this one is good so i picked that up to try, im planning on doing a review of the eyeliners i have soon so keep a look out for that.
Finally i needed a new concealer and this one had a couple of quid off as well as a free gift bag (see photo below) so i thought i would give that a try.

To get this great little gift set all you have to do is buy one of their products! fab!
B. Stunning Eye Shimmer - Golden Sand
B. Radiant Rejuvinating serum

B. Complete nail polish : Sea Foam


I have been SO impressed by this nail polish! I haven't really been that into painting my nail recently as they chip so quick and take ages to dry so i always manage to mess them up! However, i saw this colour and fell in love and couldn't help myself buying it. I am so glad i did! Although at first i was really skeptical as the layers are really sheer, they dry right away and it only took me 4 coats to reach opacity. They only chipped once and i patched that up with a dab of nail polish, but overall they lasted me 4 days, which for me is amazing! I have already re-painted them with this colour!
