Hi my loves,
I purchased this lip tint a few weeks ago from my local factory outlet store. 
I only paid £2 for it, so I wasn't expecting miracles. But, this product has nicely surprised me. Application is super easy and you have complete control of the product.
Worn alone, the colour is a little drying on the lips, but this is where the balm on the other end comes in handy. I feel the balm does remove some of the colour though, making it a little less bold and a little more subtle. This I like. 
I found I could get a good 4 hours of wear out of this product before it started to fade. Which if I'm completely honest is a little less than I had expected, but it doesn't bother me too much.
I'm a little dubious as to how long this product will last before drying out. I've never owned a 'felt tip' style lip colour before and I'm interested to see how long it lasts. 

Have you guys ever tried a product like this?

Introducing another bargain from my local Factory Outlet Store.
I can safely say I have never tried anything from the Astor brand before, but when I saw this staring back at me, I just knew I had to try it out. 
I payed only £2 for this and I am super duper impressed with what I got for my money.
This VIP 3 tone blush is sold as a coral, which when you use all of the three shades together, it certainly is. But, if you the separate the shades you can also use it as a soft pink also. 
Astor claims this blush is a 'very soft formula containing over 74% minerals'. Soft, it most certainly is. With the slightest touch you can pick up a ton of product, the product of which is incredibly pigmented! 
The blush itself can be used to create quite a bold cheek or sheered out to look very subtle. The product isn't glittery but isn't matte either. It falls in that nice little space between that gives your skin some instant glow. 
The blush is very nicely packaged and comes with a mirror in the lid and a little applicator brush also. You receive 6.75g of product, which for the £2 I paid, I am amazed with. 
I've yet to come across any other shades, but I will keep checking back at my local store and as soon as I do I will most certainly be purchasing some more.
