NARS Sheer Glow Foundation / Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Image
Well hello there! Today I wanted to show my favourite (and in my opinion the best) foundation and concealer around. The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer are the perfect combination for a minimal make-up look, or when built up great for special occasions. On days when I'm too lazy to bother with a full face of make-up, I use the Collection Concealer on its own to cover-up any blemishes (which are a constant on my face) and dark circles. This product is highly pigmented and has such a good coverage but still has a natural look. In this concealer I am a shade Light 2. Again and again I go back to this product and in my opinion it is amazing. The applicator is easy to use and great for applying under the eyes and the packaging is simple. The only thing I would change about this product is making it bigger, so it would last longer and spare me the time of going out and repeatedly buying new ones. Having

Naked 3 Urban Decay Palette

Ladies and gentlemen (maybe not so much), I'd like to introduce you to my new love, the Naked 3 Urban Decay Palette. Never have I see such hype about a beauty product and now I understand why as this palette is no short of wonderful. I was given this as a Christmas present from my parents along with other make-up pieces and couldn't believe they had been able to get hold of it after its release being a few days prior.

The palette ranges from mattes and satins to shimmery and rose gold specked shades. From pretty pinks like Dust and Limit to beautiful deep browns like Nooner and Factory, the palette isn't short of options and one of my favorites, Blackheart, is great for definition and for a more night-out look. The palette is perfect for people like me who ar

My Holiday To Zante

So my last post was well over a month ago, and I am feeling quite guilty, but I have a good excuse as I had been whisked away for 2 weeks to the beautiful island of Zakynthos in Greece. I was particularly excited for this family holiday, with my parents and sister because it was all about the relaxing on this holiday after a stressful year of exams and GCSE's. And this could not have been a more perfect place. The clothes I wore to go on the plane were basic and comfortable and suited the hot weather here in the UK as I left for Greece. I wore a loose grey maxi dress from H&M with a short denim jacket from Primark, Converse shoes and a black leather bag with tassels from Primark. My family and I flew from Manchester airport for 3 and a half hours to Zante, which is renowned for it's amazingly wild night/party life down in the resort of Laganas. Having being fully aware of this, we chose a quieter village called Argassi which is further away from the party resort. This
