Rimmel London- Wake me up Foundation | BeautySW

I'v heard so much good stuff about this foundation but just before it came out i had bought the Rimmel London- 25 hour lasting Finish Foundation, so i didn't need a foundation at all. I'v popped into boots quite a lot recently too just browsing though but the 3 for 2 offer that is on in there is so tempting, I'v eyed up the Wake me up foundation but was good and didn't give in to temptation. But last week I went into Wilkinsons with my Mum and saw it was on sale for £4.98 and my Mum said she would get it for me, happy me said yes of course haha.

Making Me even happier was the fact it did indeed live up to my expectations from the rave its had in the beauty blogger/youtube community. Compared to the 25 hour foundation rimmel have out its just amazing. My skin feel great when it's applied, really smooth and soft and it looks really natural. I got it in 100- Ivory but they have quite a good range of colours for different skin tones. I would say it makes my skin look brighter and more awake (hence the name) and it has a great finish on the foundation. It also has an SPF of 15 and an SPF is always something i look for in foundation. I wouldn't recommend it for people with oily skin, I think it slides on my skin slightly and I don't get much oil on my skin on a normal day. I would recommend it for dry skin however, I have a few dry patches near my cheeks/jaw and it doesn't seem to cling onto them.

Curly tots using the Babyliss Curling wand | BeautySW

I have been wearing my hair like this a lot recently and I do enjoy wearing my hair like this. Only because whenever I wear my hair straight or just natural (which is more or less straight) it just goes completely flat to my scalp and there no volume what so ever. This hairstyle doesn't seem to fall quite so flat and make my hair look lovely at the same time. I have a lot of questions whenever I wear my hair in this style, whether its from friends, family or people at college. Literally all I do is curl it with my curling wand from Babyliss, throw it about with my head hanging upside down a little, give it a little back comb and a touch of hair spray (not any in particular hair spray, just any cheep and happy hair spray that I find floating around my house somewhere).  


The wand is great I would say. It gets really hot at 200°C or you can take the temperature down in the steps (see picture above). I have quite a lot of hair and can cure my hair in about ten minuets using this, if i was using my GHD hair straighteners it would probably take twice as long to cure my hair.


When I bought the wand it came with a heat protecting glove thing but i didn't have much fun using that because I wasn't able to feel my hair in my hand so not I'm constantly burning 
my hands because the want gets so hot.

A fair few snaps I know... I did get a little carried away with taking pictures with my wheel, but I wasn't sure on the lighting on any of them so thought you could see them all to make it out for your selves.
