Tesco's Mini Haul

Hey Sparklers!! 

I had a trip to Tescos food shopping earlier on in the week, and being a typical make up lover I got totally distracted by the make up and ended up buying a few little items which caught my eye! 

Here are the items which caught my eye! 



Cosmopolitan Beauty Blender  £6.00
Rimmel Day2Night 2 in 1 Mascara £7.99
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint  £5.99
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint £5.99 ( 3 for 2 on rimmel products)
Eylure Lashes £3.46


Cosmopolitan Beauty Blender

So I have heard a few reviews about these beauty blenders but I've never used one myself, I find that blending with my fingers works best for me, doubled up with my foundation brush, but I thought I would give it ago and see what they're like! 




I've used the beauty blender before I took the pictures so thats why its covered in make up!

I paid £6.00 for the beauty blender and it comes with a little stand which keeps the dust off and stops you getting make up all over the top of your draws/make up station. 

The beauty blender has 2 ends, a flat side and a pointy side, this makes it easier if you are blending under eye concealer. 




Overall the beauty blender blends in really well, I was suprised at its results. I think if you are into contouring your face with different shades of concealers and foundation then this is a brilliant tool and is a must buy! 

For an everyday look I dont contour my face as much as I would as if I was going on a night out, but I think for my under eye concealer I will be using the beauty blender to help me get rid of my under eye bags!! 

Rimmel Day2Night 2 in 1 Mascara

Mascaras never seem to do enough for me and I find it really hard to find a mascara which I feel does what I need it to do so I am forever buying new kinds of mascaras to try them out, so here is another buy of mine. 



This Day2Night Mascara is a 2 in 1 Mascara which has two types of brushes and it claims that 1 is to volumise, the other to lengthen, which are two thing that every girl needs on her lashes whether she is blessed with amazing thick and long lashes,or if you are like myself with stumpy lashes! 












The two in one brush was good, and the mascara went on even with the length brush, however I found that the volume brush made my lashes go a little bit clumpy. 


Overall I think that the mascara lengthened my lashes but not a great deal, I think I will be sticking to false lashes!

Rimmel Lip Tint 

I bought 2 of the Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint as it was buy 2 rimmel products, and get the 3rd free! 


The colours I bought were:
700 - Nothing but Nude 

100 - Endless Blossom 


I liked the idea of the lip tint as I like to wear long lasting lipstick/gloss when I am at work and don't have time to reapply, so I thought I would give this ago and see if it really lasted for 1000 kisses! Or 1000 mins as I unfortunantly I'm not lucky enough to get 1000 kisses in a day! 


The tint is in a felt tip pen style applicator which is easy to apply, just like drawing on your lips! 






And on the other end of the product there is a lip balm which goes over the tint once on your lips to give it that all important shine to make them look kissable!! 






So here are my lips before applying the lip tint!








As you can see my lips are very small so I need a product that enhances them a little and gives them a nice colour to stand out. 


Here is the bottom lip with tint, top without 






Here is the overall finish to the Lip Tint, without balm.



And the finished result with Balm.






I left this product on all day to see how long it lasted, the colour lasted for a few hours, but because I personally like to have defined colour on my lips I found myself reapplying the colour after 2 hours. 


If you are wanting a slight colour and sheen then this is a prefect product for you! But if you are like me and like a deep colour on you lips which lasts a long time then you will need to keep applying a few coats every couple of hours with this product. 



Lots of Love
