IT Cosmetics CC+ Oil-Free Matte 40

Packaging and tube of IT Cosmetics CC+ Oil Free Matte
Who for: Anyone with an oily skin or who wants a matte finish to their face

First impressions: Was worried that it would be drying on my skin

After one week: Love the matte finish

After one month: Prefer this to the original formulation

Stockists: IT Cosmetics, QVC UK, Boots, Selfridges

I ordered this from their UK website as this was the only place that I could get the shade Fair/Light at the time.  I had previously tried the Illuminating and Original formulations in the Light and had found that they were a little too dark for me, I am not sure if they had oxidised on my skin.  This has the same lemony smell as the other formulations when you first apply it to the skin but goes after awhile.  Just like the other formulations I wear one pump all over my face if I want a natural, I just woke up looking like this, or two pumps if I want a more polished finish to my foundation.  It blends brilliantly into the skin, covering my redness on my cheeks, chin and forehead without hiding my freckles.  I love the matte finish that it gives me.  I have always used a brush to apply this and haven’t tried my BeautyBlender as I feel I wouldn’t get the coverage or finish I want – will try it and post a photo.

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.

Fenty Beauty Icon Semi Matte Lipstick

These are sample sizes which are generous in size.  They are a semi-matte lipstick and smell delicious of cocoa. They are very pigmented which means that they can be applied straight from the bullet, with a brush or with your fingers depending on the look you want to create.  They are long lasting and did not make my lips peel or feel dry.  Pose Queen – is a colour I would wear on those days that I am doing the weekly shopping in jeans etc. It great a great nude and I would wear it on my cheeks too maybe not my eyes – well that’s something to try in the future. The MVP – now this is the date or special occasion lipstick that you want to wear when you want everyone to notice you.  You want to feel powerful. Again, I might wear it on my cheeks – a small amount applied with fingers. Scholar Sista – perfect colour for the office and those Brunch dates.  It’s a shade that will go with everything and make you feel polished, professional.

Bottle of Bleach London Fade to Grey Shampoo Who for: Anyone who wants to maintain their grey hair colour First impressions: Scary colour for a shampoo After one week: Hair is softer and looks greyer than without After one month: To be updated Stockists: Bleach London, Boots, Superdrug, Cult Beauty, LookFantastic I want to improve the salt and pepperiness of my hair.  Well I would like to dye to grey but hubby won’t let me, and this is the nearest I can get to improving the greyness of my hair.  One piece of advice wash your hands after using the shampoo as it has stained my nails – not that I mind I want grey nails too.  The colour of the shampoo is a dark grey violet and is thick and unctuous.  I was a little worried as a patch of my hair seemed not to like it as it became thick and stiff.  But when I washed my hair and applied the second lot of shampoo, my hair became soft and nourished.  The way my hair feels after two washes of my hair with the shamp
