Small Haul and Tiny Reviews/First Impressions

Hello again, sorry for not updating much lately, but... I ... am... back!
Today, I was going to pick up my new camera from Tescos, so obviously... I went a bit crazy...
As you can see, I had a little splurge on things that, in fact, I didn't need. Now, straight this puts them in a bad light but so far, from what I've tried, they are amazing.
 
 
Let's start off with the main products, basically the first two products i'm going to mention are just general repurchases. I have the Tesco Cotton Pads and just normal black ankle socks. Now, onto the beauty!
 
As you can see I got the Nivea Express Hydration Primer; which in fact comes in a glass jar- which makes it all the more cuter! Taking the foil off, I tried some that was left on it on the back of my hand, and it feels so soft.
 
Next, I have the Nivea BB Cream, now this was a complete impulse buy, but I was dying to try a BB Cream and this caught my eye- i'm hoping this will be amazing- but stay tuned!
 
I also bought the Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser Skin Conditioner, this is quite new. When I first heard about this (in my Cosmopolitan magazine) I got a sample and I was delighted to try it out, I applied it to my knees and elbows and let me tell you- they were as soft as a baby's bottom when I got out the shower! As soon as I tried that sample, I was determined to get a full size- and I did!
 
Next, I bought the Batiste Dry Shampoo, and the L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray. These have been raved so much on YouTube and in the blogger world. I must admit I am late on the bandwagon with these products but i'm excited to try them. Let me know what you think about them in the comments.
 
Lastly, I bought the Pearl Drops Pro White Toothpaste. I've been trying to find cheap and easy ways to whiten my teeth and I saw these on the shelf and they were a bargain! Plus, they were on sale- I couldn't pass up that offer now could I?
 
So I hope you enjoyed this lovely little update, comment down below if you love any of the products I have mentioned, i'd love to know what you think!

Much Love,

Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Pro Primer

Hi guys!. I'm back with another review and if you haven't guessed by the title, it's about the Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Pro Primer.
 
 I purchased this maybe 6 months ago so I think i'm ready to give my opinion on it. Firstly, it claims to be a 5 in 1 product:
  • Smoothes
  • Resurfaces
  • Brightens
  • Mattifies
  • Protects
I definitely agree with the smoothing effect, it creates a nice even surface to apply your foundation too your face whether it's liquid, cream, or a powder, it also brightens up the face, I can wake up at 7:30 in the morning and then put this on and I look awake. I don't completely agree on the mattifying effect as in my case; I find liquids that claim to mattify only mattify to an extent. Then, for the protecting effect, maybe it means protecting against pollution or something. It wouldn't be against harmful sun rays as it doesn't have any SPF in it, so in general I have nothing to comment about that.
 
 Now, we all want a longer lasting effect from a primer don't we? Of course we do. Rimmel Londons primer will make your makeup last longer but only for maybe another hour- again this is my opinion, I have combination to oily skin and this is my experience. I don't think this will help with really oily people- for example Missglamorazzi on youtube, it would work better for drier skins. I still urge you to go out and try it.
 
I hope you really liked this and please comment- i'd love to read your thoughts on it aswell and I will talk to you soon, bye!
 
 
       Much love,
