Favourite Foundations

 
Top bases of the moment
 

Foundation is definitely one of my favourite beauty products to test out and hopefully fall in love with. I think that a flawless base makes everything else look 10 times more beautiful.
These 4 have been ones I have been reaching for most regularly and I love them all!
 
Starting with the Maybelline Dream satin liquid foundation which can be purchased from most places that sells Maybelline and at a very good price of £7.99. I have the shade 040 which and it matches my skin tone beautifully. The bottle has been repackaged since I bought this one and so I'm not a hundred percent sure if the formula of it has changed too. I love this foundation for when I am having 'no make-up' make-up days, I find it to be quite sheer coverage but definitely buildable and the finish is just perfect.
 
Secondly is my old all time favourite the Revlon colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin. When I say "old" I mean I still love it but I'm not quite as obsessed with it as I used to be. I am onto my second bottle of this and the formula changed which annoyed me a little because I preferred the old formula. However it has great coverage and comes with a great shade range for most skin tones. Also the fact that there are 2 different formulations of this makes it perfect for all skin types (combination/oily and normal/dry).
 
Next up is my current favourite which I have been reaching for on a daily basis. My Nars sheer glow foundation in the shade Barcelona. I wont go into too much detail about this because I have already featured it in my 2013 beauty favourites so go check that out if you want to see more about this foundation. Overall it has medium to high coverage but has a natural finish and just makes your skin look flawless.
 
Finally is my Rimmel wake me up foundation, I tend to only really use this in the summer as it really enhances the glow of a tan but I thought I would add it onto this post anyway because I just love it. coverage is pretty high and leaves a beautiful sheen to the skin as it has tiny particles of shimmer in it, which I know is not everyone's cup of tea but I think it adds to the product in making your face look glowing.
 
what is your favourite foundation at the moment?
lots of love son x

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Image
Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t

A little bit of Luxury

Image
 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow
