Collection is a great affordable brand which is available in Superdrug, Boots and Wilkinsons, there a cruelty free brand that focuses on makeup that is wearable at affordable prices. I've been using the products from the brand for 10 years now and haven't looked back, so here is my review off the Naturally Matt foundation in the shade Porcelain.

Beauty - Make Up Revolution Review
For the last two months or so I've been trying out a new make up range and have just re purchased them so decided I had better do a review while the packaging is still nice and clean. The make up range in the spotlight today is Make Up Revolution which you can find in Superdrug, the range is a high street and purse friendly one so I use for my everyday make up look.
The BB cream is a foundation one so it's a lot thicker then most BB creams and has a lot more coverage while still being light and non cakey which is a bonus. I find it is so thick that you need to use your fingers to apply the BB cream but you also need to warm the foundation between your fingers before applying to the skin. It has a great build able coverage and can either been worn light as a BB cream or as a full coverage foundation, but still leaves the skin feeling like it has no product on which I like a lot. At only £3 it's the perfect BB cream to go for and as it's suitable for all skin types you can't go wrong.

Rimmel BB Cream Matte Review
For summer I wanted to find a BB cream as last year I wore my foundation and my skin looked awful, so browsing in my local Superdrug I came across the Rimmel range and was drawn in by the shade being very light. As a pale skinned girl finding the right foundation/make up can be a nightmare but for me finding a very light BB cream was like Christmas had come early.
As it's a BB cream it advertises the fact in can do 9 things from minimising pores to evening skin tone there's a lot this product claims to do. For me I wanted a foundation to cover my skin but still be light enough to wear in summer without making my skin look awful, and so far so good. The product goes on light and thin while still covering all my spots and problem areas which really impressed me, it also suits my skin tone really well as it's a really nice light yellow toned shade of cream.
The product tends to last me around 6 hours which is pretty good and as it has a matte effect it goes on really well but maintains the matte look until the end of the 6 hours which I thought was a helpful effect to have for summer as I shall more then likely be a hot mess. The packaging is really handy as it's a small tube of 30ml and fits nicely in my make up case, the lid is a simply twist off and squeeze out the product which is good as the cream is quite runny so I feel the need to place it onto my hand before applying to my face and having that kind of lid helps a lot.
I've been using my tube for around 2 weeks now and have around half the product left so it's a bit off a quick user meaning I will have to repurchase this every month, this can be annoying as it all adds up and I may as well just buy a new foundation but it is a really great buy and I feel like it's worth the £6.99 each month.
Have you had any luck with BB creams or do you just stick to foundation?

Max Factor Facefinity 3 in 1 Foundation Review
I picked up this foundation after running out of my Body Shop one, I would of re purchased but I didn't feel like the coverage of the Body Shop Foundation so I went on the hunt for a new foundation and picked up Max Factor's BB cream in Light Ivory. I have very fair skin in winter and autumn so I need to be really careful about foundations and which ones I pick up.
The design on the bottle is nice although it is glass so for traveling I will have to be careful but it has a pump top and a plastic lid. For £12.99 you get 30ml and it also has spf 20, as it's a BB cream you get Primer, Concealer and Foundation in one which for me is great as in the morning I only have around 15 minutes to do my hair and makeup so having a BB cream is perfect for me.
The texture of the foundation is quite light which came as a massive surprise but it goes on well as has a great buildable coverage, I tested it out and got to three coats before it become to thick and a bit orange so I usually have two coats on and I feel like my make up is perfect for me. It last's all day which is great if I'm doing a 7 hour shift at work, going out it shoots well for photo's but I'm not sure if it will replace my MAC make up for going out!
Over all I think this foundation is great and is perfect for my life style.
