PRODUCTS I'VE USED UP / REVIEW

Hello all,

So today I have a post that I've seen a lot of people do recently, and it's always been a popular one on youtube. I personally love watching and reading them so I thought I'd give it a go! 

I use a lot of products on a day to day basis, whether they be make up, skin care or just other stuff in general, and eventually all that stuff runs out! So I thought I'd share the products I've used up and whether or not I would re-purchase them! 

L'oreal True Match is one of the only drugstore foundations that is actually pale enough for me, so it's always been a part of my collection. This is the second bottle I've used up and believe me it's completely drained! (even though the edges of the bottle are still covered) This foundation has an amazing build-able coverage, which doesn't look cakey, making it perfect for my skin which is uneven and has random red spots. 

I will be 100% re purchasing this, as it's not only amazing but only £12. 

Next is the Rimmel 'brow this way.' I have already used two tubes of this but sadly I don't think I will be re-purchasing another! As I've used it up, I've noticed that it's actually doing nothing for me. My brows last and look exactly the same with and without it. Also this one dried up before I could use it all! Don't get me wrong, the colour is nice, and it's alright when I don't want to fill my brows in, buuut that's a very rare occasion. I think I will have to have a look around more for a brow gel that works for me! 

This Collection Lasting perfection concealer is a very highly raved about product, and for all the right reasons. I have honestly used at least 6 of these bad boys up fully and as you can see from the picture they are truly well loved! It's the perfect coverage, doesn't look cakey, perfect colour for me and it blends out amazingly and lasts all day! (as the name suggests) I will 105% be re-purchasing this concealer, however I normally wait till it's on offer, as it can go from £4.19 to under £3!

If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know how much I love this mascara! It is the Maybelline 'the falsies' volume extreme. It's so black and makes your eyelashes literally look like falsies. The wand is also curved, you you get a really nice curl to your lashes as well as covering the entire lash in mascara. I will deffo re-purchase this and I think it's about £6.99. 

As well as the mascara, I have always loved Rimmel Stay Matte powder, it was the first ever powder I ever had, because at the time everyone on youtube loved it! It's inexpensive (£3.99) and does make your face matte and foundation last. However recently I've noticed that it makes my face look really furry, as thought it gets stuck to all my peach fluff and accentuates it and believe me it's not cute! Therefore this time I think I'll try a new powder (from the drugstore) and see how they play out!

I've always wanted white teeth, and I just have a thing about having clean and fresh teeth. This toothpaste is amazing! It makes you mouth feel so fresh and clean! Personally, I think Colgate is the best toothpaste brand for that reason. As for whitening my teeth, I can't honestly tell you if it works because I wasn't keeping track! I would LOVE to re-purchase this product however it's sooo expensive! (like £4 a tube) so if it's ever on offer, I'll get on the bandwagon again! Until then my friend...

Next up is my favourite makeup remover of all time! It is the one and only Garnier Micellar cleansing water. I love this one the most over the others I've tried, as it literally gets your makeup off in seconds AND you get so much in a bottle! I also find you don't have to pull on your skin or frantically rub it to get the makeup off, just a gentile wipe and boom. makeup free. I will deffo be re-purchasing this as it lasts for such a long time!

Finally, I've used up all of my Andrew Barton SOS help me hair treatment. This is amazing for split ends or dead hair as it literally brings so much life back to your hair. I love this and will be re-purchasing! 

Thankyou so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you love any of these products!

Thanks again 

Fern :) 

AUGUST FAVES

Hello all,

Ahh Summer is almost over! (officially over on the 21st September) And I'm so excited for autumn and winter, my two favourite seasons because who doesn't love wearing big jumpers and dark lipstick. 

Anyway the last month has been a good one for me, I've finally completed a lifegurading course! Also my friend and I went to London and saw the Lion King, which was really good! I was also lucky enough to visit Wales, which was really beautiful! But all the happiness is gonna change when school starts again in 2 days for me! UGH A-levels! 

I have a few bits and bobs I've been totally obsessed with this month so, lets get going!  

Johnson Makeup-remover wipes

I have been extremely lazy this past month, and when it comes to the time of day when I want to be rid of my makeup from that day, I've been reaching for wipes instead of my usual micellar water. These particular wipes get my makeup off really fast, and they save the effort of putting the remover on a cotton wool pad, then wiping one eye, then repeat. I just use one wipe for my whole face and boom. Makeup gone! 

The balm - Mary-lou Manizer. 

This highlighter. Major heart eye emoji. If you follow me on instagram (@foreverfern_) then you'll know I've been loving this! I bought it whilst in London, and I've been obsessing with it ever since. It's the perfect golden colour without being too gold, if that makes sense? The pigmentation is amazing! Literally the perfect glow for anyone and everyone. 

MAC lipstick - plumb dandy, Essence lipstick 

So I've been obsessing with dark lips this last month, even though it's not officially autumn, I've still been loving them. These two are both gorgeous colours and have been my go-to lips when I'm out and about! 

Jenny Han - The summer I turned pretty.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! My sister recommended it to me and oh my I love it! There's 3 in the series and it's a very typical girl book but it's so sweet and amazing! I read this trilogy in literally 3 days, a book a day. Perfect summer read! 

Joss Sterling - Summer Shadows
Oh. My.God. This book. It's the sixth (and final *cries) book in the savant series by Joss sterling. I mentioned these books in my Favourite books post. (the first in the series is called 'Finding Sky' ) I kid you not I am heart broken that this is the last book. The tears are real.
This book had me gripped the whole way through, I loved the characters so much! Reading this then lead me to re-read the entire series again...and I'll most likely read them many more times! If you want a book series thats the best in the world you gotta read these. You just gotta.

Shawn Mendes - Mercy

I have 0 words. This song guys omg. If you know me then you know I love shawn and his music, he's crazy talented it must be magic. I swear that boy knows some voodoo stuff cos his voice is like a charm, it's just amazing. (can you tell I'm obsessed) ANYWAY, this song is one that's going to be on his newest album (September 23rd people - be prepared) and it's honestly amazing. I bought it then literally listened to it at least 20 times. It's ones of those songs you have to listen to a lot of times, because it's just that good. You can really hear the passion in his voice and ugh it's so good! 

Aero hot chocolate
I normally don't have drinks like hot chocolate at home, because we're such a typical British tea drinking family but recently I've been loving this hot chocolate. One day I just had a sudden craving for hot chocolate and boom. Now I'm crazy about it. (As I sit here writing this I'm sipping away at my hot chocolate) If you want a tip about hot chocolate, always, ALWAYS add a bit of cold milk. Makes all the difference!

Thankyou so much for reading I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you've been loving in August and what you're looking forward to next month!

Thanks again,

Fern :)
