Revlon ColorStay foundation:£12.99

Revlon Photoready foundation: £12.49

For a while I've been trying out a variety of foundations from stores such as Superdrug and Boots, because as a student I can't really afford the more high end brands I would have previously used. I've now found, from a bit of experimenting, that I really like these two foundations from Revlon. Revlon is a brand I'd never really thought about trying previously, i don't know why, I think I just thought it was for someone older than me, but now I've tried it I've lost that assumption previously made. 

I tend to use the Photoready foundation for an evening use and if I know I will be taking pictures as I have found it really doesn't wash me out, just like it says it will do, which is great! I've heard people say that there are little pieces in the foundation which reflect creating a glitter/Edward Cullen affect skin however I've never noticed this or its just never caused an issue for me. It applies really easily, allowing you to blend and buff it into the skin with ease, even by using your fingers to apply which is my favourite way to apply with this foundation.

The colorstay foundation is a great foundation and it does last a long time, while I'm out at uni, walking to places and other things I do throughout the day. It does provide an even full/medium coverage which you can alternate depending on what you need. However one thing i don't like as much about this foundation is that the bottle does not have a pump so you have to pour the content onto the back of my hand then apply. This isn't too much of an issue when applying however it does tend to leave a mark on the back of my hand that is hard to remove but I guess that it's just showing that the product is long lasting while you wear it.

Overall I'm really impressed with the overall appearance and application of these two foundations and although they are a little more pricey when compared to other high street foundations they are still more affordable and accessible when compared to other brands such as MAC.

Nails Inc.

With this months Glamour magazine they are giving away a Nails Inc. nail varnish which costs £11 anyway with every copy and you can pick from four different shades. Its a brilliant giveaway by Glamour again just like when they gave away Benefit cosmetics over a year ago. 
I picked the shade 'Piccadilly Circus' which is a dark pink/purple shade which looks very autumn like on my nails and can be easily taken from day to night. I really do love this colour!!
I've been wearing this on my nails for the past four days now and it's still as perfect as when i painted them before, amazing! I best not have just jinxed myself now though. I'm definitely going to try get my hands on the other colours too now!

It’s dark blue but it really does change with the lights just like my hair.

When I’m drinking them separately no but if I drank them together I can tell, so probably the answer is not really!!
