Review| Too Faced 'Born This Way' Foundation

Too Faced 'Born This Foundation' is a product that i had been wanting to try for ages but i waited to purchase it from America when i visited rather than here as it was cheaper!
I have the shade porcelain which is yellow toned and a little too dark but as it is the lightest shade available i made it work!  


The foundation costs £29.00 which is on the expensive side as it is more expensive than Mac but i do think it's worth it! It lasts such a long time, i applied it at 8am and i took it off at 8pm and it still looked fine! I have normal to combination skin at the moment.
It states that it is a medium to full coverage but i think it's more on the full coverage side. The finish i woudl say is matte but not overly matte!


Overall, i absolutely love this foundation, it is up there with my favourite Mac Studio Fix! I will be definitely be repurchasing and it is well worth the money!

Best Dressed| The Brit Awards 2016

As you probably know it was The Brit Awards yesterday and i have picked my favourite outfits from the red carpet!

Cheryl had to be my favourite, she looked beautiful and i love that hairstyle!

                                                         Sporting a golden hue, the singer paid homage to the Nineties by accessorising with a silver choker and matching diamond earrings as she posed with her hands on her hips.
                                        Fierce: The Little Mix girls (L-R, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson) were drop-dead gorgeous as they rocked a glimmering array of funky outfits

                                                                   Off we go! Geri Horner (right), Laura Whitmore (centre) and Abbey Clancy (right) looked sensational in their eclectix mix of dresses
                                                             No holding back: The superstar singer - who is one of the lead performers on the night, and has been nominated for four awards - looked dramatically fierce in the long, floaty gown, which was constructed with several ruffled layers

|Top 5 Under £5

I'm back with my favourite 5 products under £5.00!



|Astral Moisturiser £3.89
This is a new find for me, When i came back from New York i had really dry skin and needed a really thick moisturiser and i saw this. I had heard that this is a timeless product that has been out for years and i now know why is has been out for so long, it is amazing!
It can be used all over the body, i use it on my hands as they also have dry patches.
I highly recommend this if you love a think moisturiser!

|Wet'n'Wild Matte Lipsticks £1.90
My favourite drugstore lipsticks ever! I have around 6 of these now and there are still lots of colours that i want! Matte finish and last for hours!

|Kiko Lipliners  £2.50
These are a new favourite product for me, they are so affordable and have a huge range of shades!

|La Girl Concealer  £2.00
I have repurchased this concealer about 4 times now and i have it 3 different colours as it is great to cream contour with.

|Freedom Contour Stick  £5.00
If you have read my blog over the past few months you might have seen me feature this because i haven't stopped using it since around October.

|Loreal Infallible Sculpt Range

These products have been doing the rounds on US beauty videos for a little while and i've seen a lot of good reviews so wanted to try them, when they finally arrived here!
This bundle that i have is available from Superdrug for £15.99 which i think is amazing value for all 3 products.
|Infallible Sculpt Foundation (Light)
This is a light coverage foundation, that is available in only 2 shades Light/medium and medium/dark which is not brilliant. The coverage is light which i don't normally go for but it is buildable. I have the light/medium which is to dark for my skin but if i really blend it out i can make it work!

|Infallible Sculpt Contour Palette (Light)
Cream to powder is the formula of this contour palette, it is very creamy but i'm not too sure if i like this. I found when i blended it out it just disappeared into my skin and i had to really build it up just to see it even a little. I also found that did slide around in my face even when set it a powder contour. 

|Blush Sculpt (Nude Beige)
You get 3 different shades in this blush a highlight, light bronze, dark bronze. This is so pigmented you only need the tiniest amount of product! It is very easy to blend out and you can use all the colours together or just one!

Overall, i'm not too sure about the contour palette and the foundation i will have to try them some more but the blush is amazing!

|Top 2 swatches are the contour palette and the rest the blushes.

|What I've Been Watching #7

Netflix has taken over my life recently so i thought i would share with you what i have been watching!!

|The Wolf Of Wall Street
Since going to New York i have been wanting to watch films that are set there and i saw this one on Netflix. I did start watching this a while ago and then kind of forgot about it. It is a great film but i thought it was a little too long at 3 hours!!


|Benidorm
Another Netflix find, the new series of Benidorm is currently showing on TV which i have been watching but hadn't seen all of the series so i have now watched nearly all the episodes!


|The Secret Life Of The American Teenager
Again this is a Netflix find, can't you tell i send to much time on there! This one is available on the US Netflix which is a little annoying but i can still watch it!


|Cold Feet
Since it has been in the news about a revival of the 90's series i thought i would re watch them all as i was too young to remember them first time around! It is only of them shoes that has a different story in each episode but also has an overall theme running through which is my favourite type of show as you can just watch any of the programmes!

Review| Loreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation

This is a foundation that had been on my list to get from New York and i managed to find it eventually as it was sold out in most places! I did have to get a shade darker as i couldn't leave it!!
 This was $17.95 i think which is around £12.50 so on the higher end of the drugstore!
The colour 'W2' is too warm toned for my skin as i have a cool/pink toned skin tone but i can wear it when i occasionally wear fake tan which i don't mind as i just wanted to try the foundation!



As the name would suggest the finish is a luminous one and it gives a lovely glow to the skin! It lasted around 6/7 hours which i think it pretty good of a non matte foundation. It blends out easily, I like applying this with my Real Techniques sponge.



Overall, i really like this foundation and i hope it will be available in the U.K soon!
