What They Say

This foundation has a new tri-blend formula made up of 3 elements, Primer to hold, Concealer to correct and Foundation to finish. It is flexible and breathable, ensuring a matte look that lasts all day. 

The foundation primes the skin with a flexi-hold technology that creates a flexible film to provide lasting coverage. Next, the formula's Micro-Correctors provide coverage over imperfections. They absorb oil and sebum, without drying out the skin. Lastly, the foundation with SPF20 delivers an all-day high coverage matte finish. 

What I Say

I had high expectations for this foundation and I must say that it certainly delivered!

I applied this with a foundation brush and a little certainly went a long way. Seeing as this foundation has a built in concealer, I didn't use my usual concealer to see if this foundation really works. I was more than happy with the result, it applied well and felt silky on the skin and certainly did a good job at covering up my dark circles. It does provide a good medium coverage and didn't feel cakey at all on my skin. It does give quite a matte finish, so if you have naturally dry skin, I would definitely recommend using a good quality moisturiser before applying the foundation. It lasted all day on my skin and gave a beautiful natural look. I recommend that you guys try it :)

Available in 6 shades with an SPF20, it is oil-free, dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.

The Shade ''Nautical''

The Shade ''Jewel''

The Shade ''Stardust''

The Shade '' Luna''

What They Say

This is an eclectic yet essential mix of both everyday classic colour eyeshadow along with fashion inspired, intense hues. 

''Luna''- A classic white shimmer. Partner with a darker hue to create the perfect smokey look.

''Stardust'' - A classic shade. A perfect base shade as well as an eye highlighter.

''Jewel'' - The deep emerald green shade has golden undertones making it a lovely twist on a smokey charcoal.

''Nautical'' - Inspired by the nautical look. This matte, navy shade is perfect to create a bold, sleek look.

What I Say

I was impressed with the quality of these shadows. I like how they have made the solo shadows more wearable with shades like Luna and Stardust (perfect highlighting colours). But they have also been bold and incorporated striking shades and the shade Jewel couldn't be more perfect for A/W!

The Shade ''Humbug''

The Shade ''Goddess''

What They Say

This collection is specially designed to enhance beauty and create depth. Made up of 3 blendable shades, each colour is carefully selected to compliment the other.

''Goddess'' - Stunning mix of greens and beige and will give you that air of Grecian Goddess.

''Humbug'' - A contouring collection of charcoals and white. Perfect for a smokey look.

''Safari'' - A collection of gorgeous bronze and browns for a gorgeous yet natural look.

''Stonewashed'' - Inspired by stonewashed jeans, this is the must have shade for the upcoming season.

What I Say

I love that Miners have also decided to bring out a trio collection, so handy to pop into your make up bag! The shades have all been brilliantly selected to compliment each other and I love the choice of looks these shadows offer. My favourite has to be the ''Safari'' trio, so warm and it really reminds me of autumn :)

Whether you want a natural look or a striking smokey eye, these shadows do the job a treat!

The Solo Shadows are £3.49 each.

The Trio Shadows are £3.99 each.

What They Say:

This contains photochromatic pigments that bend and reflect light to provide cheeks with a beautiful glow. It's lightweight formula gives a silky soft feel to the skin and provides buildable colour. It blends evenly over cheeks for smooth application.

What I Say:

Like I said, I've never tried a cream blush before so I was very excited to try this and loved how vibrant the blushes looked in the pots! I tried putting this on with my fingers and also with a brush and I feel like the brush worked better for me. After applying one coat of this blush, you get a very sheer hint of colour but it is very buildable (I liked putting on about 3 coats to get the look I wanted). The wear time of these blushes isn't great though so I would definitely recommend setting them with some translucent powder. I did like this blush, I felt like it gave a very natural flush of colour and felt very soft on the cheeks so I would recommend it to you guys! However, if you like your blushes to be bold and vibrant, then this may not be right for you.

Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blushes are readily available priced at about €11.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Curved Brush Mascara is priced at £7.99/€8.99 and is available nationwide now.

Now, this is a slightly wet formula and some product can flick onto your eyelids if you're not careful when applying it. I found that it gave a lot of length to my lashes and some volume and it's also very easy to take off with a make up wipe at the end of the night. It also really separated the lashes and doesn't clump at all. Sadly, it does tend to smudge along the bottom lash line toward the end of the night. 

Before mascara (and before brow threading!)

All in all, I would definitely recommend this mascara! It's great for the price, giving volume just like it says all for €4. I wouldn't recommend it if you prefer the ''spidery lash'' look or if you prefer the false lash look. I do think it's a great daytime mascara.
