Review: The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops (Lightening)

Hi everyone, as I have said in my "favourite contour palette for pale skin" post, I have very pale skin. So pale in fact that the lightest shade in any brand is still too dark for me. Therefore I had to go many of my years in secondary (high) school with foundation that is slightly too dark for me. This is until about a year ago when I saw that the Body Shop brought out Shade Adjusting Drops. I love all the Body Shop products and this seemed the perfect product that I've been looking for.

What I like about the product:
  • Easy to mix with your foundation
  • Blends well
  • Not cakey
  • Lots of product - only one or two drops does the job
  • Affordable
I have tried this product with foundations from Maybelline, Body Shop, Rimmel and L'Oreal.

Overall this product is amazing for needing to adjust any foundation and I've found it a lot better then mixing in white foundation and provides a much more flawless finish.

Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick

Hi everyone, I went to superdrug a couple weeks ago and decided that I wanted to get some new lipsticks for autumn and I realised that for some reason I have never tried Maybelline lipsticks before so I decided to give some a go and I was very pleasantly surprised.

I decided to try the Color Sensational lipsticks in the colours 207 - Pink Fling and 240 - Galactic Mauve.

207 is a beautiful shade of pink that is very natural looking with a glossy finish, making it the perfect during-the-day colour.

240 is a stunning mauve colour that has gold shimmer running through it. This is a colour I think you can wear during the day and at a night out. If you're looking for a mauve for this autumn then I strongly recommend you try this one.

Pros:

  • Great pigmentation
  • Stunning colours
  • Affordable
  • Good packaging - lid won't come off in your bag
  • Lots of product - Maybelline have been quite generous in the amount of product they gave
Cons:
  • Need to reapply during the day - these lipsticks are the kind of ones that come off when you eat or drink so you do need to reapply throughout the day
Overall I really like these lipsticks and I think they are definitely worth the money. If you are looking for a new lipstick to try, I recommend that you try these ones.
