Beauty Brawl Day 7- Primer

Day 7- Primer

Day 7 already and we are onto primers! Not something I usually use on myself. It's usually something I reserve for clients who want their make up to last all day for special events...and they do work. It's just never been something I've felt  I needed. If I do wear make up I top it up myself throughout the day, but at work I don't tend to care or notice my make up state. 

For this I chose something I thought would help combat against my redness from my Rosacea. So I went with the Barry M flawless Colour Correcting Primer £5.99

Product: 80

Packaging: 90

Price: 60

Packaging...well its clear! which is one of my favorite things as you can actually see how much product is left! The product itself smells a bit weird to me, but it soon fades. I found because of my redness I was having to use a lot of product though to get any kind of result, and because of that I marked it lower in price as I should imagine this will only last me a few weeks. 

So as you can see, before, with primer, and then with make up. There is actually a really noticeable difference. Because of the amount of product i did have to use i think its something i'll save for special occasions, days out etc...not for every day use.

March Birchbox

Well, i didn't order it but it arrived anyway...suspicous but true. Alas i will not grumble because its been nothing but awesome since i opened it this morning!




Look at all the awesome!
This month saw Birchbox have a little collaboration with Lulu Guinness fashion and accessories designer. If i'm honest the only real input i can see from this iconic lady is the black and white stripe pattern and her red lip, on the outer box sleeve, the stick of rock (which inspired her latest "candy shop" collection), also a very generous £20 off when you spend £100 in any Lulu Guinness store, and a lil book of "Life Lessons, as told by Lulu Guinness.


Other then that it's just the usual lil' box ó awesome samples.
First up, and perhaps weirdest of all is: Cellu-Cup! This is a new "massage" tool to help reduce cellulite. You squish all of the air out of it, suction it to your skin in the shower (must be wet) and massage your cellulite affected areas and it apparently gets rid completley after a few uses. Cellu-Cup is £16.


Next up is Benefit's Stay don't stray Eyeshadow primer in a light/medium shade. £20.50, i used it today, it works. Need i say more!?


Dr.Brandt, Pores no more, pore refiner. £39. I used this before my make-up, it's especially designed for oily skin, people with open pores, it works quite well but has quite a strong tea tree smell to it which i personally dont find very appealing. But thats a personal prefrence.


This Aroma Works Nurture Oil £32.50, is supposed to be applied after you get out of the shower, but i couldn't resist; and i'm glad i didn't wait. It makes your skin feel amazing and smells JUST like lemon sherbert. :)


Lastly, but my utter-most favorite item and my new MUST-HAVE perfume is English Laundry's No.7 For Her. £47. It's a beautiful scent that stays on your skin for such a long time. I cannot get enough of this stuff i'm actually scared of when it runs out. I'll be so sad.


I'm off to eat my Lulu Guinness Candy rock!
Enjoy!
