First Impressions: Maybelline Superstay Better Skin foundation

Maybelline Superstay Better Skin foundation - £8.99

I was on search for a new foundation to try out because all of my other ones are running low and I came across this in an advert and thought it could be quite interesting. I am pretty sceptical if it will make my skin 'better' but I'm willing to give it a go. I wear the lightest shade, '005 Light Beige', because even though I'm quite sallow skinned the darker shades were quite orangey on my skin which I definitely do not want. I'd say that the colour range is mainly designed for people with darker skin because they only have one light colour but quite a few darker ones. It turns out that the lightest colour is actually quite good on my skin too which is always a bonus.

 

First of all, I really quite like the packaging of this product. It has a sturdy glass bottle and a pump (hooray!). I really like the cobalt blue type colour and the metallic silver matches it perfectly.

This foundation has a SPF of 20 and it is enriched with vitamins. It claims to improve the appearance of your skin in 3 weeks but I can't really tell you if it does or doesn't because I only tried it out this morning. It's pretty high coverage and doesn't stick to dry patches on the skin. It seems to be lasting quite well and I'm pleased with my purchase. So far I'm really quite impressed with this product and I think it will probably be shown in future favourites posts.

Easy Ways That I Display My Candles

So, if you're not a candle lover then this post might not be your cup of tea. In this post I'll be sharing with you 3 of the ways that I display my candles rather than having them just sitting there (it pretties them up a bit). So here are some of the things that I use:

I got this little pot type thing the other week to put candles in out of Hobby Craft for about £3. I was unsure of what size it would fit although I was happily surprised to find out that it fitted a Yankee Candle medium size jar, which is great because it means they look nicer that just the candle because of the little heart cut out. There were various different sizes available which I liked and they just add an extra niceness to your candles. Lovely.

I got this candle holder for my Christmas so I'm afraid I can't tell you where it's from although I can tell you that you can get ones similar bird cage style in Wilkinson. This holder just makes your candles look absolutely gorgeous and I truly do love it. I really like this way of fancy candle holders because even if they aren't all that expensive, they sure look it.

Finally I have this beautiful candle holder that I got from a candle party that cost around £20. This is the most expensive method I have and the biggest but it just looks absolutely beautiful. The firework shaped pattern has glitter in the cut-outs which, when a candle is burning, cause it to sparkle and shimmer. It really is spectacular. I absolutely love this candle holder although I would say only get a more expensive holder if you really burn candles a lot. I haven't got as much use out of this as I could do.

Sorry if this post was a bit all over the place, I am not really feeling too well and my brains a bit all over the place but I wanted to do a post for you guys. Make sure you follow me on bloglovin' and twitter (links are in the top right hand corner). Emma:)
