battle of the brands/products high street vs high end's primer's


Battle of brand's /product's- high street vs high end primer's


Over the last couple of month's I have doing some comparisons between different products and brands. I thought as we're starting to get into the cooler months I would do a comparisons between high-end and low-end primer's. I don't wear primer's all the time between I don't always need them but if I know that I'm going to be out all day for example at a wedding then I want to know that my makeup is going to stay in place. 

I thought I would compare the very famous benefit porefessional as I have a sample of this with the Rimmel Fix&Perfect primer. The most obvious different between the two is that the rimmel one is clear and very silicone and the benefit one does have a slight tint to it. However it doesn't have so much of tint that it's effects your foundation shade. 

The Rimmel Fix&Perfect claims to smooth, resurface, brighten, mattifiy and protect. I have used this a couple of times and I feel that it does. There are two tricks that I have found to work when applying primer the first one is to gently smooth it over your skin and try to not blend it into your skin too much as you want your foundation to sit on top of it. The second tip is too let it dry before putting your foundation on. The cost of this £6.99 which is very affordable as you do get 30ml and only need a small amount for each application. 




The benefit pore-fessional is universally known as one of those product's that either everyone has tried or actually owns. I got mine in a mini-set as I really want to try it but didn't want to waste my money on a full bottle in case I didn't like it. For actually priming your skin I feel that I does actually does the job. However I do the products is overprice for what it is. The full size of the product is £24.50 which is full on high-end prices. 


Overall I would say that if you are either on the fence or new to primer's I would say give the rimmel a go first and see what you think.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...

Soap and glory mini gift set's Every year soap and glory come out with some amazing christmas that you definitely get your money's worth. This is actually last year bag but I have put in the bag the product's that You get in the set for this year. I personally love these set's because they are so easy to travel with and because they are so small you can take everything you need with you. The set this year is called bright and bubbly and it comes in a box, which personally I prefer the bag as you can also used for travelling. The set retails for £10 which I think is amazing value as you get 4 products and a shower flower thing (what are they called?).
