5 Product Flawless Base

Some mornings we just don't have the time and effort to spend a gazillion years on making ourselves look presentable, yet we don't want to scare people away by the telling signs of lack of sleep or stress or poor eating, am I right? for times like these I rely purely on the basics and these products are what I have found to be my faves for those quick application, quick out the door make up days.
Bourjois healthy mix foundation- I'm sure this can blend into the skin within seconds giving the most flawless looking complexion. It is also moisturising which helps when in need of avoiding those dry, dehydrated patches.
Clarins instant concealer- Who needs know we hardly got any sleep last night? The formula of this is so lightweight you would be surprised at the amount of coverage it gives. Can also be used on spots to conceal any redness you might have. No cakiness to be seen and all the remnants of stress or bad eating have been brushed away.
Maybelline the rocket mascara- Lashes need that added lift to open up the eyes and accentuate your feature which is supposedly a window to the soul. This definitely lengthens and defines those lashes without being clumpy, which I know is the new trend but wont be appearing on my face any time soon.
Nars Pressed Powder- Make up sliding around our face is not really what I want to see happening throughout the day and I am sure you don't either. Setting your foundation and concealer can honestly make all the difference!
Laura Mercier Brow Definer- If there was one product I would find it hard stepping outside of the house without using, I think it would have to be brow filler inners. This looks so natural and adds that extra oomf to the brows without creating any awkward slugs.
What are your top 5 products?
Lots of love

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
