Revlon Colorstay foundation


 I have finally got through my No7 foundation that I didn't really like so it was time for a knew foundation. I have dry skin with quite an oily t-zone so I couldn't decide what to get. The Pixiwoo sisters mentioned in their videos that the revlon colorstay can be quite good for dry skin so I decided to go for the normal/dry foundation and thought I would do a first impressions of it.

It comes in a glass bottle and with a plastic lid which is good because the bottle won't be squished into funny shapes in your makeup bag although the lid could fall off which means foundation could go everywhere. The shade I have and is in this picture is Ivory.
There is a pump on this foundation which is great instead of nothing which is difficult as it can go everywhere when you are trying to get a bit out.
The foundation is quite runny as all I was tilt my hand for about 10 seconds and it looked like this so you do have to be careful with it.


This is it all blended out on my hand. It is the lightest shade they do and is perfect for me. It has quite a dewy finish but dries quite matte. The smell of it is quite strong but I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Overall, the foundation seems very nice and I hope I continue to like it.
It is £12.99 from Superdrug and Boots.

I would rate this: 6/10

Kiko Milano Kiss Balm

The Kiko Milano Kiss Balm is a lip balm and they are £5.90.


The shade I have is 05 raspberry and it is a very light pink. The lip balms are amazing as they keep your lips feeling nice all day. They feel quite oily and slippery when you put them on but you get used to it. This lip balm also has an SPF 15 which is good. I like this lip balm as much as Vaseline which is amazing but these have a tint to them which I prefer.

Real Techniques Sculpting Brush

The real techniques sculpting brush is part of their original collection and is £9.99.
 The brush is angled which is perfect for contouring and the bristles are quite short and dense which makes it easier to apply the product to one particular area. The bristles are incredibly soft and the design of the brush is amazing. It is really useful that it can stand up as it stops it from rolling off of the surface. I love the light pink colour but the knew brighter pink is also gorgeous. This brush is very similar to the Real Techniques Expert Face brush which I also have and love. One of the only obvious differences is that the Expert Face brush isn't angled. You don't need both of these brushes though as both work doing each others jobs.
This brush works with cream and powder products and they are really easy to clean. I would definitely suggest getting this product.

My Mini Makeup Haul

This is my mini makeup haul!! I thought I might do some mini reviews on all of them so that you can see if there is anything that you might like to get. Some of this makeup is high-end and some of it is drugstore/ highstreet priced.

This is the Kiko Milano Colour Sphere in 08 and is £5.90. It is very sheer and quite dusty but leaves a gorgeous wash of colour that is very shimmery and slightly glittery. 

This is the Death By Chocolate, Chocolate Bar makeup palette by I Heart Makeup. This is £7.99. I love this palette so much as all of the shades are super pigmented and they are all beautiful. The shimmery shades are the best as some of them are slightly metallic and they are very opaque. This palette even smells slightly like chocolate!!!

This is swatches of the shade in the palette and they are amazing.
This is the Real Techniques Bold Metals brush and it is number 300, the Tapered Blush brush and it is sold for £24. It is rose-gold which I love and  is super soft. This brush is fantastic!!

This is the Vivid Colour lipstick pencil by Kiko Milano and is £5.90 but is currently on sale for £1.70. The shade is 01. This pencil doesn't last for very long but the colour is very opaque and glossy which I like.
This is the M.A.C satin lipstick in Faux and it is £15.50. This lipstick is a mauve-nude shade that lasts for a long time and I think the formula is great!!!


This is from M.A.C and is part of Ellie Goulding's collection. It is a plushglass called Goodness Gracious and is £19. It is quite sticky which I don't mind and smells amazing and the colour is great as it is very neutral and can go with anything.
This is the Kiko Milano Soft Touch Blush in 109. It is a lovely pastel pink and it gives a nice wash of colour to the cheek while it still looks natural. 
This is the Cream Radience Highlighter in 01 from Kiko Milano. It comes in gorgeous packaging although it isn't great for taking with you somewhere. It is very shimmery but has no glitter in it which I like.
This is the Vibe2 Long Lasting Eyeshadow in 03. This doesn't move once you have put it on which is great but it took me about three days to get it fully off of my hand. The colour is very sparkly and the blue is very pigmented.
This is the Kiko Milano infinity eyeshadow in 220 and these are £5.90 but are almost always reduced to £2.80. This shade is gorgeous as it is very shimmery and is quite rose gold which I think is lovely.
This is the M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Vintage Rose. This is very warm toned and will look lovely in the winter to make your cheeks looked flushed and glowing. This is £16.
I hope you liked seeing what makeup I got!! Please go and follow my instagram accounts which are @IzzyBella_Makeup and @IzzyBella_Hair !!

Khaki Green Smokey eye

 I wanted to to do an eye makeup tutorial on here so I have broken down this really easy Khaki Green Smokey eye into pictures for you to have a go. This look is perfect for people with hazel eyes as purple brings out the colour of them and makes them stand out.
I have applied a purple shade all over the lid and taken it quite high up the brow bone.
In this stage I have put some tape along the edge of my eye so that I have a nice clean line and I have taken a very dark purple and a brown through the socket and along the edge of the tape.
Here I have just built up the colour more.
Next, apply the Khaki Green all over the lid and try to build up the colour as much as possible.
Then, blend the green into the brown.
Add more purple to the inner corner of your eye and along the edge of the tape.
Next, I have done double flick eyeliner because this suits my eye shape. If a different style of eyeliner works for your eye shape, forget this step.
Finally, add mascara and this really easy look is done.
You can also put eyeliner on the waterline if you want and under your eye a bit if you want it to be slightly more dramatic.
 I hope you liked this tutorial and if you want to see more posts I'm hoping to do them a bit more regularly. Please also go and check out my instagram accounts which are @IzzyBella_Makeup and @IzzyBella_Hair!!!

Bare Minerals 4 Looks to Luxe

I got the 4 Looks to Luxe collection for Christmas and I love it. The quality of everything is really great and they all look amazing and feel amazing on.
Bare Minerals is the company that made this set and I hadn't ever tried anything from them before now but I definitely will do. Also, all Bare Minerals make-up is mineral makeup.
This is everything in the set and the makeup bag you get with it.
This is the makeup bag. I love the colour and the lining is really retro which I think is really cool.
This is the Bare Mineral lasting liner in lasting brown. I think this is amazing seeing as it is super creamy and blendable,it comes with a built in sharpener and it has a smudging tool on the end (the bottom line is the smudged out liner) which works incredibly as it is a little bit pointy so you can reach all the tricky areas.
The one the left is a cheek tint in Flutter and it just gives a gorgeous wash of colour and looks beautiful on the cheeks. The one on the right is an eye-colour in Star Material. This is my favourite thing in the whole set as you can layer it to be really sparkly or you can just put it on lightly and get this amazing shimmer. I love it!
This is the lipstick from the lip duo that comes with this set and it is called Get Ready. It is a mauve colour and is a slightly brown toned pink. It is super creamy and lasts an okay time. 

This is the other half of the lip duo in Glam Girl. The top swatch is of the lipstick with the lipgloss and the bottom one is just the lipgloss in its own. The lipgloss is quite sticky but I like that. It is quite a bubblegum pink but is still quite sheer.

This is the Lash Domination mascara in Intense Black. I love this mascara so much as it makes my lashes look incredible. I don't normally like plastic wands but this one pleasantly surprised me. It doesn't flake off during the day and the lashes stay in the same place all day. It is amazing.

Love
