Review | Oral B Precision Clean Toothbrush

Today I am reviewing the Oral B Precision Clean Toothbrush that I had for Christmas. I have never been one for an electric toothbrush but after being given one for Christmas I was up for the challenge of dumping my manual toothbrush!


Cleaning - Well the most important factor is the cleaning abilities the toothbrush has! This toothbrush is BRILLIANT! My teeth have never felt so clean outside of a dentist's chair! This toothbrush has the right speed and seems to get into the areas that my manual toothbrush just can't get to. I have very cramped together teeth so nooks and crannies can sometimes be hard to clean but the brush head is small and seems to reach these areas! I also have wisdom teeth growing and I have a small mouth so reaching the back can make me gag(sorry for the TMI) but with this that wasn't a problem as the brush head was smaller. This toothbrush also pauses for a second every 30 seconds to remind you to go on to the next quadrant, this happens 3 times, on the fourth time which is after 2 minutes, it pauses twice to tell you to finish brushing. I think this is genius! Everywhere I run my tongue along my teeth its plaque free and my mouth feels super fresh, INCREDIBLE!


Handling - Sometimes using a electric toothbrush can be hard to hold especially since the handle is much bigger than a usual manual toothbrush. This toothbrush is quite slim which does make it easier to hold then one I have previously, but I am still not used to the size or the weight that the brush which makes me a little clumsy with the brush, but I expect over time that will improve. It does also have grip on the handle which does make it easy to hold.


Design - Now on to the design, I firstly want to shout out that it is PINK! Which is super cute in my opinion. The design is really cute and I love the way it looks. Its so smart and incorporated in the pink-ness is grip so it helps you keep that toothbrush in your hand! It is a little heavier than your normal toothbrush which is hard to get used to but in a few weeks I should be used to that. One of the other things I love about this toothbrush is that it comes with a handy travel case which has space for two toothbrush heads. As some one who loves travelling and also travels a lot between university and home this is a brilliant extra!


Overall - I can't really give a rating on the price as this was given as a present. So rating without that in mind, I will give this brush 10/10! I love this toothbrush and can't wait to use it everyday! I know my teeth will be much cleaner from now on and my manual toothbrush is on the way to the tip!


Thanks of reading!

Keep Sparkling ♥ xoxo

Review | Revlon Colourstay Foundation

Hiy everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing Revlon Colourstay Foundation in Ivory. I have the type for combination/oily skin but there is also an option for normal/dry skin too!



Cover - In my personal opinion, the cover of this foundation is brilliant. I have extremely oily skin so finding a foundation to stay put is always a difficult task but I feel this really lives up to my expectations, although with my skin there is no way it would last for 24 hours! It is also quite good at disguising pores, I have enlarged pores around and on my nose and in this department I think it does well yet it doesn't cover them up completely. As a girl who has never been into using concealer (being fair skinned and finding a non-oranged toned concealer is a big feat!) this foundation does well in covering up blemishes without the use of it! One thing about this foundation some may not like is that it is a very heavy foundation. A small amount only needs to be used, too much can look like paste all over your face, but I am hoping this can be good a good thing and it will last longer than a thinner foundation. In summer months, I will probably mix it with a little moisturiser.

Colour - As someone with very fair skin, I find it very difficult to find a foundation to match my skin tone. Many a time I have brought a foundation and ended up looking orange or pink, which can be quite embarrassing! This foundation I feel really hits the mark for those of us who are very pale! It blends brilliantly with my skin tone, so well in fact some people don't even realise I'm wearing foundation and just think I have a really good complexion! BLISS!

Price - As a student, price can be a very important indicator on whether I will purchase a product or not. At £12.49, it isn't the cheapest foundation out there, but it definitely, in my opinion, isn't expensive. For the quality that is reached here by Revlon, I am more than happy to pay this again, finding a foundation that matches my skin tone and my skin type is a real bother and with both of these Revlon hits the mark for me.

Overall - I am really pleased with this product and I will definitely be purchasing this again. With the foundation definitely not lasting 24 hours, even 12 hours would be a push with my skin and also for it being heavy I will deduct a point but it is still an outstanding foundation!
Well done Revlon you get a 9/10!

So that is it for today, I hope this gives you good insight in to how this product might work for you :)

Keep sparkling!
