L'OREAL True Match - Liquid foundation

L'Oréal Paris True Match Foundation - £9.99 

With approximately 20 shades, True Match boasts a blend-able foundation which can match almost any skin colour perfectly. I have the shade C2 Rose Vanilla which I blend in with my fingers and then buff in with a brush. I find this method gives a streak free and smooth finish. I would say the coverage is medium-full covering and evening skin but still leaving some areas of blemishes noticeable but less of that without foundation on. I use a pea sized or just bigger pump which covers my whole face. I have friends who use the same foundation and apply it with a sponge, we vary slightly in skin colour and with a good bit of blending on onto the chin and neck its not noticeable at all! I should point out this is only my second foundation and first liquid so I am not the most experienced of the bunch but as a newbie I found it very easy to work with and it makes my skin look 100x better! I would say the only negative is that when using too much it can look a bit odd and full on so using little and building it up is the way forwards for this foundation.

Rimmel Lycra PRO nail polish

Rimmel LYCRA® PRO Colour Memory Nail Polish

£4.59 or currently on offer 2 for £6 in boots

I have another of the polishes in this range, peppermint, and find them very long lasting, and as the name suggests full on colour that lasts. This colour caught my eye as it is a musky purple with hints of grey. Looking closer it has a slight purple shimmer to it, which isnt too evident but enough to persuade me to buy it! The colour above is in Hot List.  Rimmel polishes are a favourite of mine due to the nice slightly rounded brush which covers the nail in only a few swipes!

Weekly Update #1

Hey all! I'm so so so sorry I haven't posted in about a month, been really busy with GCSEs and CA and whatnot! Thankfully thats all over till April so I have a little bit of a break. Over the past month I have expanded/developed my makeup collection... not much in the fact of items but it in fact of different products and learning how to use them to the best potential. I'm on half term for the next week so more posts hopefully! I am trying to use my dads SLR so the pictures are better, and I'm too lazy to get my camera charged at the moment sorry!


- Yesterday I finally purchased the sleek storm palette! I dont know why it took me so long but its amazing, defiantly my new baby!

 - Today was spend online window shopping, found some lovely things that I would love to get... but looking at the prices that is highly doubtful. 

- Last weekend I went to see Olly Murs at the O2 Arena. Its fair to say it was amazing, best night of my life! He is a true amazing talent and a genuinely nice guy!

- Then after we came out to snow! We played outside the london eye at 1am before we went home! Since then we've had 2 more 'snow falls' ... I dont really have the hype this year with snow though, if it gives us a day off thats alright but theyve all been at the weekend! I havent bothered to 'play' in it this year other than in London, shame.
