Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted hydrating Gel Cream in Ginger 06

This tinted moisturiser / foundation is perfect for summer. If you are like me and sweat like a pig in the heat and feel like your makeup is literally dripping off your face then this foundation is perfect. It doesn't feel like you are wearing any makeup and you can't see it either which is great! Also it is SPF30 so you are protecting and hydrating your skin, so it's like a 3 in 1 really.
It stayed put all day and my skin feels sooooo soft still!
With bareminerals I like to use the golden shade in R230 which is the perfect partner to this which is Ginger 06.

New CID cosmetics MASCARA i-intense High Intense Volumising Mascara

Hello!!
So I got this mascara free in the August 2015 Cosmopolitan magazine. I looked on the newcidcosmetics website and this mascara retails at £18.50. It is a good mascara but I prefer it with just one coat as it looks very natural and feathery and with 2 or 3 coats it was a bit flaky but this has lasted well all day and it hasn't smudged or flaked off so I am actually quite impressed with it but I would not pay £18.50 for it. The magazine cost me £3.80 so for that price it's brilliant lol!

Instyler Rotating Iron to Flick Hair Out

http://www.instyler.co.uk/

Flick Hair Out With the InStyler

Flicking out your hair can help you get the look of extra volume while keeping sleek, glossy locks – it’s a classic celebrity look that can give you vintage style. 

Getting the perfect flick out is easy with the InStyler. To flick out your hair, ensure the InStyler is powered on and set to the desired heat level. Gather a 5cm-7.5cm (2”-3”) section of hair. Position the cylinder side away from your scalp. Glide the InStyler down your hair from the roots toward the tips. Near the tips of the hair, turn the cylinder in toward your scalp, keeping the tips on the cylinder. Allow the cylinder to rotate for 3-5 seconds in place before you release the hair. For tighter and more defined hair flicks, hold longer. For larger hair flicks, you can start the turn sooner. Continue until desired results are achieved.

The InStyler is more than just an ordinary hair straightener or curling tong. It's a totally new styling and straightening tool that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it!

How does the InStyler work?

The secret to the InStyler lies in its rotating heated polishing cylinder, along with four rows of precision-aligned bristles. Your thermal shield, which snaps easily into place on your InStyler, protects your skin from the heat.

When you run the InStyler through your hair, the first set of bristles gently sorts and separates each individual hair strand. Then the rotating heated polishing cylinder gently glides over your hair, smoothly polishing, straightening, and styling each strand. Finally, the second set of bristles puts the finishing touch on your hair, leaving you with shiny, silky, gorgeous hair.

And because of the patented design of the InStyler, your hair won't get crushed and baked by the super-intense heat of normal hair straighteners or hair curling tongs. In fact, the InStyler uses less heat than traditional hot tools - and still manages to get better results.

That's because the gentle heat works together with the rotating motion of the polishing cylinder to polish and care for your hair strands one by one, so it doesn't need extreme heat to get hair that is shinier, bouncier and full of lift and life.

The InStyler does much more than you'd normally expect from your straighteners. You can get lift and fullness right from the root, or a sexy flick in seconds. You can straighten even the toughest, most coarse hair – and still get fullness and style without the stick-straight "flatness" of straighteners.
