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 At last, I've been a bit withdrawn lately with school and stuff.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

Sorry!

I'm so sorry for abandoning you all over the Christmas period. Been so busy with family etc. I was going to talk about the wonderful gifts i received over Christmas but tbh, I'd rather talk about the things I've bought during the wonderful boxing day sales :D so here goes...

Lush haul (If you do not know they have a deal on where you spend 20 pounds and get a free gift box worth up to a whopping 30 quid! :O bargain!)

I bought:
Sandstorm soap
Honey i washed the kids soap
The godmother soap
Mister butterball bath ballistic
(For my sister)
Jumping juniper solid shampoo
Babyface solid face bar

So that was it, a bit of a small haul but i don't want to spend too much in one go so i can get a few free gift boxes, in the gift box i got: Candy Cane bubble bar, Satsumo Santa, Lil' Lush Pud, Mister Butterball, and Strawberry Santa shower jelly.

So an utter bargain i think!

Then i ran to debenhams to pick up the very LAST clinique 3 step set, as it was completely sold out everywhere. I couldn't believe there was only one left! But luckily i got it, and i also picked up the Powderazzi set with 1/3 off from Benefit, that's another deal to look out for 1/3 off of all benefit atm! :D

But that was it for today, i hope you've had a wonderful Christmas everybody, ask for any reviews on anything, i wish you all a happy new year! x

QUICK PRODUCT RAVE!

Been a bit post crazy today :P oh well, i just wanted to do a very quick product rave as I've just used it and i really do love it, it's Lush' limited edition Christmas fresh face mask, Santa's rice pudding. It is truly gorgeous and i so wish it was permanent :( the smell is to die for, it smells like sweet almond cake mix lol, and it leaves my skin so incredibly soft! It feels like it has little exfoliating sugar grains but I'm not sure, ooooh and it has cranberries in it, so festive! Everyone i seriously recommend as it will suit all skins.

Okay that's it, bye have a good evening :) x

Update on foundation dilema!

For some weird strange, bazaar reason, my acne-prone skin is clearing up :S i am not complaining but i don't know what i have done. Oh well, on this good note, i took a trip to MAC and decided to pick up the well-known Studio Finish Concealer, and wow it is great stuff. Covers everything. So I've ditched the foundation and have just been using a little dab on my scars, and then setting with powder. It gives a wonderful natural finish yet not completely matte. And it looks like skin because it is skin there is nothing covering my nice skin :D

I cannot wait for christmas!

I am getting the amazing Sigma make up brushes! And money to spend in MAC soo.. I can watch my collection grow before me :D and do a great look for new year!

I might do some tutorials not sure yet, I also might be getting the navy gilet from good old British Jack Wills, what's everyone else getting or is it a surprise?

I know it's early but I'm feeling festive, HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS! :D
