No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation Review

!!!NEW FOUNDATION ALERT!!!!

About a month ago I picked up a new foundation, I just wanted a high street one as I would be wearing it for work. So I popped in my local Boots to see what they had and I don't know if it's just me but trying to get a foundation to match is such a nightmare I even had my mum with me and we just couldn't decide but to my rescue a lady from the No7 counter came over and offered to help me find a foundation.

The way No7 match you with foundations and even lipsticks is they have this little device and they hold it against your jaw line and it finds your shade. Of course they ask what your skin type is as well so they get the right one as well. I was matched with the HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation in shade Calico. This particular foundation has a blend of anti oxidants including vitamin A, C and E mixed with grapeseed oil to keep your skin moisturised. She applied it to one side of my face so I could see the difference. Well I was literally like this is exactly what I want!! I want coverage to get hide spots and scars but not too much that you cannot see my freckles. It was just yes! So of course I had to buy it. She didn't let me leave the shop with only half a face done, which some make up artists do, she done the other side as well.

Urban Decay Prime and Setting spray review

For a long time, believe it or not, I rarely use setting spray now and again I would use Mac's Fix+ but use it to dampen my sponge before blending out my foundation. I thought I would start looking at some and I've seen so much talk around Urban Decay setting spray and a few of their other products. For a while now I've wanted to try some new products but unlike me I haven't really been buying make up so much lately. In all honesty I didn't want to purchase to full size bottle and not like it but I noticed Debenhams had a 'All Day All Night' duo pack which consisted of Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray and All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.

Fav items of 2018

If you haven't already seen my most recent YouTube video, have a look and see my thoughts on my fav products I used throughout 2018.

All the links for the products are below:

Empties of 2018 Part 6

It feels like I haven't done one of these for a little while but it was only last month maybe earlier in the month? Anyway here is some of the products I've finished lately, I am excited to do my next one as there is some products I just love that are included.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Berry lipgloss

This has summer written all over it, it's so amazing and smells lovely. It is very moisturising as I find I use this more in the summer as it's got a little gloss and keeps my lips soft. Sometimes I even apply a little of it over a lipstick just for a bit of shine to it.


Would I buy again?

Yes, I bought a two pack from Amazon!

Autumn 2018 purchases

Mac Eyebrow Styler review

Sometime in July or August I visited the Mac store in Stratford on the hunt for a new nude lip combo but also asked about their brow products. I haven't really heard anything about what kind of products they offer as I usually stick to Benefit products as you cannot go wrong with them.

 

I wanted something that would look more natural and not so bold so the mua, who was so lovely, suggested the Eye Brow Styler in Spiked. It's a self sharpening, natural looking pencil, she just applied it in light strokes to just fill in the gaps and enhance the shape of them and literally two minutes later they were done. Also it's great for on the go as it has a brush on the other end so you don't need to have a separate brush.

August's GlossyBox Pride Edition

Ooh another Glossybox have brought out a special edition one, Pride, the packaging is so cute and I love how they have done a box this month to mark the 50th anniversary since the decriminalisation of homosexuality. This box includes multi use products for anyone to wants to their personality and be bold.

Rimmel Ink me heart stamp £4.99
When I first looked at this I honestly thought it was an eyeliner but it wasn't until I look the lid off that it was a heart shaped stamp. We had a little bit of fun with this at work I ended up with a heart on my face and left it to see if anyone would actually notice it. When we stamped it, it kind of went into the fine lines on ur hands but the one on my face was OK and lasted until I wiped it off. It's not something I would go out and buy myself but for a little bit of fun for a festival or something it's not too bad.

Victoria Secret let's pre glam sheet mask £5 or 3 for £10
I'm not sure if I will be using this as a pre glam mask but maybe after a heavy weekend to try et my skin back to life. I love a sheet mask gives you a excuse not to do anything for like 30 minutes and completely relax.

Empties of 2018 part 3

I think it's time for a little empties post as it's been a few months since my last one. I put all finished products unless they are repeat staple purchases in a bag and it wasn't until I looked the other day and realised it is building up so I picked some at random but I do try to get a mixture of things.

Iconic highlighter review

With the sun now making more of an appearance I do love to add a highlighter just to add more of a natural glow to my skin, I have ones which are very subtle to ones that will make you shine bright like a diamond (literally!). It depends on what sort of mood I'm in to which one I choose, for example Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in pink quartz I like for work, it's just enough but if I want something more outside of work I sometimes add a cream or liquid one underneath. Is it me or just something about a healthy looking glow just makes you feel better?


There has been one in particular all over instagram, the Iconic London Illuminator, it's like everyone raves about this and you can certainly see why. You are literally glowing. I had been looking to buy this highlighter for quite some time now and the reason why I didn't purchase it before it because I already have so many highlighters but I just couldn't resist and I bought one. Before I made the purchase I had a difficult decision of which one I wanted as there is 4 glowing shades to choose from: original (champagne toned), glow (terracotta toned), blush (peachy toned) and shine (pink toned). I looked at them all and I personally like highlighters which have a goldy/champagne glow to them so I picked original.

March 2018 mini shopping haul

Throughout March I had been shopping a little bit more than I needed to, I think it's because I was fed up of wearing the same thing over and over and just wanted to update a few things. I get excited at the moment when I'm walking into shops because all new season items are around and now that it's getting warmer its a sign Spring/Summer is now on its way!

If you didn't know I love shopping and I wanted to share with you guys what I've purchased so I got everything all together and filmed it. It is my aim this year to do more videos over on my Youtube channel.


Take a look at what I bought...

April's Glossy Box

Over the last few months or so I have been getting really disappointed with GlossyBox especially the last two boxes and more so debating to cancel the subscription. I'm not the only one who has complained and I think they are learning from their mistake. So for February and March they included 8 products on the card and you only received 5 it was not clear in the slightest that you wouldn't receive them all oh and they repeated at least 3 of the products which was very disappointing especially when two of them were mascaras (in the same box) and one of them did not agree with me and I didn't like the other one. When I complained it didn't seem like they really were bothered and sent me another product in replace but this was something I already had been sent from them before.


I have been subscribed to GlossyBox for just over two two years maybe and I get they may have stock left over but the last 9 months or so they have been either repeating products or putting eye shadow palettes in which all seem to be so similar in colour or every other month using the same brands. I used to really enjoy receiving the box every month but the excitement is not really there anymore even the speciality months are not so WOW anymore. I think my fav box was a rose gold Christmas/new years edition in 2016, it was great had different products to boost your skin before and after the festive season.

Anywhooo lets see my thoughts on what I got this month...

Empties of 2018 Part 1

Some more empty products to review yay!! I love reading posts or watching YouTube videos on empty products and I love giving my opinion on what products I felt that worked and maybe not so much. A few months ago I wrote my first empties post, click here and with the amount of empty products I have (a big bag full) this will become a regular thing.

Here is a handful picked at random and most I enjoyed using, a couple not so much but it's all about trying new products to see what you like right?

On a quick note how is it Wednesday already? Officially half way through the week, we can make it!

Current make up wish list

Happy Friday!!!

I don't think I've done a post like this before of what make up products, there is so many amazing products out whether they are new or ones that have been out for some time and I haven't got round to trying. I know I definitely do not need any more make up and need to start using what I've got but there is just something about buying new make up that just gets me excited.

So here's what I've got my eye on at the moment.

Charlotte Tilbury lipstick and liner in Pillow Talk

How beautiful is this colour?! Just the perfect shade of nude. I don't own any Charlotte

Tilbury products and I think this could be my first purchase to ease my way in.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer

I already own the foundation and absolutely love it but I'm yet to find the right primer to use with it so why not actually purchase the primer to go with it. Also I;ve seen the results and alone it looks amazing.

Urban Decay Naked eye shadow palette in Heat

Do I need to really explain why I'm in love with this palette, the colours are just stunning you can create so many looks from day to evening with this and I know the pigments are great as I own Naked 3 which is lovely.

Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray

Now I'm very intrigued by this setting spray as I've not come across one that gives you a glow. This will most likely be a summer purchase to add a little summer glow.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

I've heard wonders about this setting spray and I really do need a good one that will keep my make up at bay especially when I'm out for the whole day.

Two Faced Hangover Face Primer

Again like the setting spray I've heard some pretty good reviews on this and I'm on the look out for a new primer but I might buy this in the travel size first to see how I get on.

LA Girl Pro Concealer in light ivory

Yes I'm late on the bandwagon with this purchase as at the time I had found my ideal undereye concealer but now I'd like to try something new, I'm still deciding on the shade maybe Natural or Light Ivory maybe both, who knows?

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Soft and Gentle.
I've had my eye on this one for quite some time, when I was going to purchase it I was persuaded to purchase Doublegleam which I absolutely love its a great all rounder.  

Fenty Beauty Blotting Papers

As I do have an oily T-zone, carrying blotting papers has become essential and the Fenty one comes in a cute little case with a mirror and you can use as much or as little as you want and they have the refill which is always good as well.

YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer

Can you tell I'm on the hunt for a primer? Another which looks great, not too sure which one to pick yet!

Have you tried any of the above products? What is on your make up wish list?

Three product work make up

I thought I would share with you all what make up I wear daily to work, it's simple and straight forward and the best part of it is I only use three products... Yes just three! I like to wear a little something just to try even out my skin tone mainly on my cheeks where I've had blemishes in the past (and still get them now from time to time) and give a little colour to my cheeks.

So I will do my usual morning routine which I will do another post shortly in a bit more details on what products I use at the moment. Before I used to do my make up once I got to work but now I've managed to be able to get ready and do it all before I leave (most mornings).
