She's So Lucky: Recent Beauty Wins & Mini-Reviews {Photo-Heavy}

If you've been following me for a while (and especially if you follow me on Twitter), you'll know that I am a big fan of competitions and enter them regularly. I've recently won some amazing goodies such as a £50 Simply Beach voucher (what I bought with that isn't shown today as it is in the wash), a fashion goodie bag and a beautiful bracelet amongst other things. 


This Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer was a surprise win which popped through my letterbox a couple of weeks ago now. I was extremely happy to win this, as I had been thinking about purchasing it for a while. It seems quite a few people won one of these, Victoria from Victoria's Vintage included.The primer itself is quite creamy and provides a smooth and subtle base upon which to put your makeup.

I was also lucky to win some Collection (formerly Collection 2000) products too.

The Fix Me Up Long-Lasting Makeup fixer isn't a product I would have picked up myself but it seems to do the job for the basic makeup I have been wearing recently. The spray is watery, as would be expected, but I can't help but think it possibly doesn't do as much as I think it does.

The Primed & Ready Smoothing Makeup Primer now brings up my primer tally to 6 - considering I'd never used one before starting blogging, it shows what enablers blogs can be! I wasn't expressed with the texture of the primer, it felt a little odd but it created a smooth enough base, sorting out my pores, so I have no real complaint here.

The Colour Match Foundation in 'Ivory' almost didn't feature in this round-up. I am so fiercely loyal and dedicated to my usual foundation (Rimmel Stay Matte, if you're interested), I didn't want to try another foundation until I'd at least used up my current tube. However, I tried it out and....wow! This foundation definitely gives my usual go-to a run for it's money. It leaves my skin looking dewy and full of life - I think I shall be facing a problem when it comes to repurchasing a foundation over the next few months!

Have you ever tried any of these products?
Do you like to see posts about my recent competition wins?
