I was lucky to have been gifted by the Superdrug Community, the MUA Neon Lights Collection, and a few other bits from the MUA cosmetics range. So, I decided to do a few makeup looks using these.

e.l.f Power Grip Primer
What more can I say about the e.l.f Cosmetics Power Grip Primer that hasn’t already been said all over social media!
My problem with foundation was that it would separate around my chin area and look patchy, never stayed in place. I had changed skincare routines and foundations with no success. Then I figured, maybe it’s my primer! I have tried a lot of primers – from drug store brands to expensive brands, but this primer has to be the best primer I have come across.
I first saw the e.l.f Power Grip Primer on Instagram. I think it may have actually been an e.l.f Cosmetics post. The video was of a girl showing the consistency of the primer and then placing items on her face to show the stickiness of the primer.
Being a member of the online Superdrug Community, I was able to get other peoples opinions of this primer, and feedback was really good, so I had to go out and get this sticky primer.
After purchasing from Superdrug, I used it straight away the next morning. I was expecting the primer to be uncomfortably sticky, which it wasn’t. Yes, I did purchase something that I thought would be uncomfortable, but I needed to find my perfect primer
The primer is a gel-like consistency and went on really well. The recommended waiting time between primer application and foundation was short, only about 30 seconds! Applying the foundation on top of this primer was easy – it just glided on.
My foundation stayed put all day, and even when swapping between foundation brands (I’ve built up a bit of a collection), there were still no issues with foundation splitting around my chin area.
This is definitely my number 1 primer, and I would highly recommend anyone to try it. It’s inexpensive but highly effective!
Skinny Tan: The Perfect Together Bundle
The Perfect Together Bundle was gifted to me by Skinny Tan as part of their social club. This bundle consists of their ‘1 Day Tanner’ and ‘Body Buffing Brush’.
What is it?
The ‘1 Day Tanner’ is perfect for those last-minute plans or for those times that you just want that nice tanned glow for a day. And the Skinny Tan Body Buffing Brush is the perfect accessory for buffing those elbows and knees and for finishing off your look.
How to Use
In the morning, I applied the ‘1 Day Tanner’ to my Skinny Tan Velvet Tanning Mitt and rubbed the product evenly into my skin. I then used the Skinny Tan Buffing Brush to buff my knees, as this is one area that always looks odd!
Final Verdict
The Skinny Tan ‘1 Day Tanner’ was super easy to apply, and the Velvet Tanning Mitt and Body Buffing Brush made the whole process that much easier.
Application on my legs was flawless, especially my knees. The tanned colour was gorgeous – a bit dark to just do my legs, so it would be a whole body thing going forward – unless I could tone it down with body moisturiser!?
The ‘1 Day Tanner’ was also super easy to wash off at the end of the day. Simply wash using your own body wash, no scrubed or exfoliating nesecery!
Brush with Multi-Use
Also, I was asked about using the Body Buffing Brush to apply foundation. So I gave it a go, and I have to say that it makes a good foundation brush. It was really quick and easy to apply my foundation, blending really well. The results looked better than using my usual brushes and blenders.
Where to Buy
The Perfect Together Bundle can be purchased from skinnytan.co.uk.
If you didn’t want the bundle, these products can also be purchased separately from the Skinny Tan website.
