L'Oreal studio secrets review

anti-redness primer



I've never had a product even similar to this, and it was at an introductory offer so i got it. The formulation is like a liquid foundation, and i wasn't sure which method was the best way to apply it, so i went with small dabs on my red patches and patted it into the skin with my fingers. It does work, but not to a great extent, it did make my skin less red, but only slightly but it made my skin look really dull and it made my skin tone look really odd. Paying £10 though for a product that kinda works seems silly to me, i don't regret buying it but i know I'm not going to get tonnes of use out of it, a plus is that you do get a lot of product, well 20ml, it seems like a lot in the tub. I've not had this product for too long, so i will persevere and try and figure it out but so far i am underwhelmed.



Smoothing resurfacing primer



I LOVE THIS! I've been babbling about this product to anyone who will listen, i am so impressed. I've made a size able dent in mine already and i know for sure i will be repurchasing. Many people have commented on how they find the texture really odd, and it is different but i really like it, its really thick and creamy, but once on the skin it just makes your whole face feel lovely and silky. You don't need a lot, it spreads really well and it works! I get really bad breakouts on my forehead all the time, and this really helps in the process of hiding that, my friend commented that you could hardly see the spots, and there were a lot..maybe she was lying :) By far the best primer I've ever tried, its a staple product for me now.




Have you tried any of the studio secrets range? What do you think?

newstufff


So i went into town today with £25 in my hand, on the hunt for a gel eyeliner, did i find one? No. Did i spend all my money? Yes! i'l just have to put off that hunt for a while and save up for a mac one like i suspected i might have too. Annywaayy, i aways find it amazing when you go shopping in the week. I was in town by about 10:15 i think, and i went into primark and it looked pristine! No clothes on the floor, not hundreds of girls trawelling through the racks. I didn't go into look at the clothes though, i thought i'd have a quick look at there makeup (its cheap and not completely rubbish!) and they have a new line in i guess thats inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, all pop arty. Takes me back to my art prep work :'). Annyywhoo at a pound a piece i thought why not just get something, i got an eyeshadow and a gel eyeliner, i did swatches, not brilliant but then i knew it wouldn't be soo...but the 'Trust dust' in Lily has the weirdessssst application, well its not weird but i don't like it at all, give me a simple pot and i am happy. Its a pearly white, but everytime you put the application want back in a waft of the eyeshadow goes everywhere, i may depot it into a pot..The eyeliner is mediocre as well but its another colour i didn't have so i don't mind. I know i'v said in previous posts how i prefer superdrug over boots, but i decided today i would look in boots..and i hated it. My best friend works there and i worked there briefly and she'd probably shoot me if she read this, but i just cannot stay longer than 5 minutes in there. So off i went to superdrug too look for the eyeliner, there wasn't one so i got the L'oreal studio secrets anti- redness primer at £8, £2 off at intraductory offer. Now me being my ocd self wanted to make sure i spent a full £10 not just spend the £8 so i got a collection 2000 eyeliner in purple passion 29. Then again, i ended up spending £22 cause i finnaaaallllyy got the gosh brush i have looked at every single time i go in superdrugs, its annoying me that i cannot find the sleeve to tell you the name, but anyway thats it!

+ found the sleeve and the brush is the light weight duo fibre brush :)

sorry for boring you xxxxx

...

do you ever find that you buy something, that you don't need. the other week i bought the l'oreal primer thing i talked about below, when about 3 weeks before that, i bought eyeko face cream thing. I'm not saying they are even remotely similar when you compare them, but i could of made do with that, in all honestly, I've hardly used it. Another example is the mac mascara i bought about 3 weeks ago as well, then the day before yesterday i buy the telescopic one. Sometimes i just know that i shouldn't buy anything, thinking of all the money I'd be saving..but i just can't help myself.



:) little rant at myself xxx
