MAC

So that last post wasn't very quick at all haha, oh well. Anyway onto MAC, i haven't been interested at all with their latest collections they really do seem like nothing special to me, however i wanted some advise off of you today. I need to get a powder to set my foundation, for the longest time i have used rimmel which I've been happy with, but i here so much about Mineralize skin finish naturals, and MAC's blot powder, and studio fix powder and the list goes on, i have no idea which one to get, so any thoughts about these products anyone?

Comments will be much appreciated :) xxx

I'm Back

... At last, I've been a bit withdrawn lately with school and stuff. Anyway today i was just going to do a quick update on the beauty related things :)

Hair: I am still using the amazing Schwarzkopf BC Hair Therapy Repair Rescue shampoo, conditioner, treatment and split end sealer. And it is still working fantastically. I need to update my display picture really, because i am back to my normal blond self. And I'm loving it, i did miss my natural blondness very much. Then to style my hair i simply use the Tresemme heat protecting spray and my GHD's (but I'm trying not to use them everyday).

Skin: Clinique 3 step system type 2. I'm still using this not necessarily for the results anymore as it doesn't clear up my few blemishes, it just keeps my skin clean. And after reading reviews about people breaking out big time once they had finished using this, I'm scared to abandon it. Silly really, i know, i really want to try dermalogica, but for now this regime will have to do.

Face: MAC studio fix fluid, I'm still using this as it is a fave of mine and again I'm too scared to try something new as i break out so easily. I desperately want to try the Chanel Pro Lumiere but i don't think its going to happen anytime soon. Rimmel matte bronzer, you can't beat this bargain buy, but I'm also trying to use it up! Maybeline Colossal mascara, the only descent mascara i can find, however does dry a bit crispy if you know what i mean. I want to try Badgal Lash by Benefit. And on the lips I've been using up my nivea lip care gloss and my pink grapefruit lip butter, and I've also been using a bit of gosh darling even though i despise the lippie, it looks nice under the care gloss.

Body: Lush snow fairy... I LOVE! and also the snow cake soap is like heaven. Oh and sandstone in the morning, that lemony burst of fragrance is juts such a great wake me up. Ummm the body shop body butters i adore, and that's about it really. Oh an an Avon glycerin hand cream nothing special, but it moisturises well.

Clothes: Loving Topshop, Jack Wills, and Miss Selfridge atm. Got some really cool stuff in lately. And I'm loving my leather jacket form miss selfridge lots!

That's it for now, if you want a review on anything i mentioned go ahead and leave me a comment, have a good rest of the week everyone :) xxx
