Considering the amount of new products that come out every season from a multitude of high-end and drugstore brands, I’m still never able to resist trying them out. Luckily, from time to time I get to receive new products to try out from some of my favourite brands, which I’m tremendously grateful for.

This Summer, Rimmel London came out with loads of new products and courtesy of Rimmel London Malta, I got to try them out so I could share my thoughts with all of you lovelies.

So let’s delve into it!

Starting off this post, we have the Magnif'Eyes Palette in the shade London Nudes Calling. It contains 8 different rosey-nude shades ranging from matte to shimmery. Now to be honest with you the mattes are not as pigmented as I hoped they would be, but the shimmery ones make up for that – they are super pigmented and creamy so they blend like a dream on the lid. The palette is also quite compact and travel-friendly, having a nice sized mirror which you can use on the go.

Moving on, we have the Scandaleyes Bold Eyeliner. After reading some negative reviews, it got me really intrigued in giving it out a try myself. The liquid liner has a ball-tip applicator which I thought would make it harder to make a precise line, but boy was I wrong! It is so easy to use, and as you will see in the photo further below, it applies a mean winged liner. It boasts to be waterproof and stays on for a good 24 hours which I have not tested out myself so I can’t comment on that. But as a liquid liner, it's quite good. 

Next up we have the Radiance Shimmer Brick. It comes in 2 shades – 01 which is for lighter skintones, and 02 which is for more bronzy-olive skin tones. Since I’m quite fair, I got mine in the shade 01. It gives a nice bronzy glow to the skin without being over the top. I just love it for everyday use – for that healthy glowing look. 

At last we have my new found holy grail mascara. The Volume Shake Mascara packs the pigment while giving your lashes the volume they need – I was even asked if I were wearing false eyelashes when wearing this mascara! It does not clump and has a new shaking-system which refreshes the formula each time you shake it.  Overall, I think it’s a wonderful mascara.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Love, Thereseanne

It’s time for another BeYu instalment and this time we’re covering the base!

BeYu Velvet Mat Foundation
I’m starting off with a product I’ve been using for the past 6 months or so. To remind you, I have combination skin with an oily t-zone and drier patches around the outer parts of my face. While browsing, I ended up choosing this foundation because it's oil free and gives that perfectly matte finish, and since I needed it for everyday wear, the price was just right. It gives the face a smooth and soft finish almost like cashmere and it also prevents the skin from getting greasy quickly. It also gives a medium coverage which I love, however if you want a more sheer finish, you can mix it with other foundations and it still works great. I like applying it with the BeYu Beauty Sponge* (I believe that this would make a good dupe for the beauty blender although I do not own it).  Personally, I did not find any faults in this product so it’s a definite re-purchase for me!

Cover & Clear Spot Stick
The next product I purchased with the foundation was the Cover & Clear Spot Stick (which I forgot to photograph). I use this product to cover single blemishes; I apply it directly to the spot and blend it with the rest of my foundation. It’s pencil form gives you great manipulation thus you can apply it exactly wherever you need it and it covers the spot perfectly. It also includes anti-inflammatory and disinfecting salicylic acid so at the same time you’re covering the blemish, you're also treating it and not inflaming it more.

The final product I'll be talking about in this post is the Sun Glow Bronzer*. This gives a nice, warm glow to the face; it’s a great product to use during the wintery months, to give that summer glow back to your skin. It also has tiny specs of sheer glitter which add to the glow. It provides that natural tanned look while protecting your skin with its SPF 15 factor.
