Review! Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara, Revlon Age Defying Foundation

I got these 2 products around a week ago from my work and they were very cheap! The Revlon foundation was meant to be retailed at £12.99 but from my work was only £2.99 so I thought why not just buying it an try it out. The Maybelline mascara was only £2.99 instead of £8.19 from Boots, so again I thought might aswell try it out and review it for you all.

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara

Does exactly what it says on the tube "No clumps, separation, voluptuous volume" It coats every lash leaving it separated, looking long and voluptuous! I have very stubborn lashes and not exactly the longest in the world but once they have been curled with my eyelash curler then they can be a bit more cooperative. The brush it a plastic brush which I find appeals to me a lot more than the normal traditional brushes but that has changed and I have been liking the traditional brushes more but hey ho! Like I said above I've worn and trailed this mascara for a little under a week and my lashes have stayed up and look amazing throughout the day and they haven't slumped like most mascaras make my lashes do after a good few hours in the wind and fiddling with my eyes. I'd give this mascara 8/10 and it's definitely become one of my favourites although I wish I didn't get the waterproof, too much effort to get off.

Revlon Age Defying Foundation

This foundation....Ehhh! It has good coverage but nothing too speculator! I like the idea of being able to turn it on a off which might not be great for some people but I am easily amused, the brush at the end is another good idea although I feel like it will become dirty and that I won't be able to wash it from all the dirt and bacteria that will come from my face. If I was or wanted to wash the brush then it is very possible I could ruin the foundation and the way it comes out from the tube. When applying this foundation it felt like I was plastering it on and not getting that much coverage out of it, the texture on my face was a little uncomfortable as it felt like I was literally caked in my own foundation. For the constancy feeling like that on my face there was not a great amount of coverage which was disappointed as it did look kinda nice on. For the price I can't complain but for the retail price it is a bit high on price for the poor quality. I'd give this foundation a 6/10.

DIY Tinted Moisturiser

So you don't seem to ever find the perfect tinted moisturiser? It's not the right colour, seems too thick or even too little coverage. Feels like a lot of effort to put it on and blend. Well this is the solution!

Your regular foundation + your trusty moisturiser = wonderful tinted moisturiser

It seems like total logic when you think about it  and you do wonder to yourself 

"Why did I not think of this ages ago!?" 

My foundation Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation - I find can be sometimes  abit stubborn to put on my skin and feel myself pretty much brushing some of my foundation off my own face from the pure 'blending'. My moisturiser Clean&Clear Dual Action Moisturiser Oil-Free is wonderful. I'm on my 2nd tube this year. My skin tends to be more oily in the summer  oily skin and my make up just runs off my face. 

Soo...to start of with get your foundation and your moisturiser. Add a little pea size of moisturiser and then a little more of your foundation (1 part moisturiser 2 part foundation) You can add this to the back of your hand, a mixing palette or anything you feel dandy using to mix it all up. Once you've mixed it all up with your foundation brush will most likely be easier but whatever floats your boat! Then all you do is add it to that wonderful face of yours and your pretty much done with your DIY Tinted Moisturiser!

Hope this has been helpful.
