RIMMEL STAY MATTE PRESSED POWDER // REVIEW

Hey lovlies,

Here's what the packaging looks like - ooo very nice!

I love how the product is in the shape of a crown, it adds a really nice finish to the packaging. Over time the crown shape disappears as you use more of the product.

I have this product in translucent, but if I buy it again I think I will buy it in a darker colour, maybe 003, as the translucent shade made my face quite white (or maybe I was just using too much...).

The first time I bought this was maybe two years ago, and I've been using it ever since. I had heard many beauty youtubers talk about this product, so I though I'd buy it too to join in and see what the hype was about.

The Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder aims to keep your make-up in place for up to 5 hours, which isnt actually a very long time. I wear it to school. and as my school lasts for 6 hours I am very shiny by the end of the day (it doesn't help that I have naturally very oily skin.... *sad face*).

Overall, I really like this product if I am just going out for a few hours, as for me the shine control only lasts for 2 or 3 hours. A bit disappointing, but definitely worth they buy if you have dry, normal or combination skin.

What's your favourite powder?

15th BIRTHDAY // OUTFIT + DIARY

Hi everyone,

So, two days ago it was my 15th Birthday! I had such an amazing day. If you missed the post I did about turning 15 and my goals for the year, check it out here.

To start off the day I opened presents - yay! (also, a haul coming soon), and then we went out for breakfast.

We went to the Dome, where I had a bacon and eggs on toast with hash browns, mushrooms, baked beans, and avocado.

OOTD:

This is probably one of my favourite outfits for the autumn/winter season. I love the leather jacket so much, plus ripped jeans are my fave!

Jumper: Dotti

Leather Jacket: Dotti

Jeans: Lee Cooper

Shoes: Converse

Necklace: Thomas Sabo

We found this really cool wall by the restaurant, so I had to take the opportunity to take some really cool pictures! Let me know if you would like to see a tutorial on how I did my make-up, recently I have been using new products which I would love to share with you! 

Also, I recently got twitter! Follow me @westcoasttstyle, for updates, re-tweets and lots of fun stuff!

ULTA 3 COLOUR ME PRETTY LIPSTICK CRAYONS // REVIEW

Hey everyone,

Today I'm reviewing a pack of Ulta 3 Colour Me Pretty Lipstick Crayons. I've used them a few times already and so far I'm loving them!

The colours in the pack are pretty peach, pink flamingo, and pretty affair. They are all so beautiful, I can't pick a favourite! 

They claim to be smooth, moisturising and fragrance free with a non-sticky texture, and you will be pleased to know that everything they say is true! The lipstick crayons have a dewy/matte finish, which is great as my hair does not stick to my lips when I go out on windy days, but my lips still feel moisturised. They also glide on easily when applying.

The colours (pretty peach, pink flamingo, and pretty affair) are absolutely gorgeous. Sometimes I even mix two of them together to achieve a different colour. I think the one I have used the most is Pretty Peach, as it was recently summer. Now as it is Autumn I think I will be using Pretty Affair a lot more than the others.

I really like the name "lipstick crayons' - It's very fitting as they are not matte like lipsticks, and not dewy like crayons - they are a mixture of both!

Overall, this pack of lipstick crayons by Ulta 3 have been amazing - definitely worth the buy!

What do you guys think? Would you buy these lipstick crayons?
