MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER.

Leading on from my lost post where I spoke about my current favourite foundation, which you can read here I thought that I'd share with you all what concealer I'm also loving currently because I think that they are a match made in heaven!

Up until trying out this MAC Concealer I have never actually found a concealer that conceals! As stupid as that sounds but I've always found that with other concealers that they've been good to use for highlighting purely because of the shade but not so good when it comes to concealing spots or red areas. With this one it actually conceals! 
The product is quite a thick consistency, so if you like to wear lighter make up then you may find that this is too heavy but I don't mind that at all so for me this product does the job! 
I purposely bought this concealer in a lighter shade to my foundation because although I use it to conceal spots and red areas before applying my foundation, I then also use it over the top of my foundation for highlighting/contouring as well. I find that this product lasts all day in terms of highlighting/contouring purposes and personally also in terms of concealing purposes but depending on what you're concealing you might find that you may need to touch up your make up throughout the day. 

What concealers would you recommend, or have you tried this one?

ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION.

First of all I just need to start of by saying this foundation is a holy grail product of mine. I have been using this foundation for over a year now and I absolutely love it! 
Before purchasing this foundation I'd purposely searched for Blog and YouTube reviews on foundations that were good for covering acne, I don't suffer from acne myself and I'm lucky that I'm not a particularly spotty person but I really wanted a foundation that would be a good full coverage, so in the hopes of achieving as close to a flawless finish as possible I thought that If a foundation worked for covering acne then it would easily be able to handle covering up my small breakouts. 

I can't fault this foundation at all, It has such a good full coverage, it lasts all day and I never have to touch it up! Also when fully blended it has a matte finish (which I prefer) so my oily t-zone is kept at bay.
This foundation can be quite a heavy one if you use too much, or for anyone that prefers a more natural, light coverage so this foundation may be your idea of a nightmare if thats not what you're looking for, but if you want a fuller coverage and enjoy wearing a full face of make up then this foundation may be a product that you would benefit from looking into. 

Have you tried this product?

10 INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.

Quotes, Lyrics, and lines from films are something that I use to help keep me inspired and motivated day to day. I love finding good quotes on Tumblr that I can relate to, lyrics that mean something to me and lines from films that I literally feel could have been written for my life! I'm sure we all have at least one little quote that we feel relates to us perfectly or that one song that you keep to listen to just because the lyrics are exactly what you're thinking - so here are ten of my most favourite quotes - enjoy! 

"Everything happens for a reason".

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams".

"Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway".

"One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching".

"No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, how full your wallet is, our graves will always be the same size. Stay humble".

"Your struggle is part of your story".

"Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever".

"Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will".

"And though she be but little, she is fierce".

"At a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by... you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are... especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself... But I am this person. And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love".

So there are ten out of probably hundreds of quotes, lyrics and lines that I can relate to, let me know if you relate to any of these - and please let me know what your favourite quotes/lyrics/lines are.

EBAY FINDS.

Just over a week ago now I purchased a couple of little bargains off of Ebay, just on a whim but I'm excited to share these little gems!

I really needed some new make up brushes as I don't really have many at the moment. Just about one brush for each product that I use which is annoying when you have to wash your brushes so often just to keep them clean! To solve this problem I thought I'd buy a cheap set of brushes to fill me in until I can afford the Zoeva set that I've been lusting over for months.These were just over £5.
Having said this though, I'm pretty happy to wait for a Zoeva set at the moment because these brushes are so good! They're amazingly soft and I was so surprised at how easy they made my make up application. I usually use my Estee Lauder foundation brush to apply my foundation, (obviously!) but I used the oval shaped one to try it out and fell in love. I didn't think I'd be anywhere as impressed as this if at all but finding little bargains on Ebay seems to be more worthwhile than I thought. 

The second product that I got was an electronic facial cleanser. Nothing fancy at all and I didn't expect it to be seeing as it was just under £10 but If you're on a budget or don't want to spend lots of money then this is a good little product to gently cleanse your face, helping to remove the last bits of your make up and also smooth over your skin. I found after using this that it makes applying your foundation easier and also helps it to stay on better. As gross as it sounds but we all know how foundation likes to cling to the drier parts of our faces, so this helps in stopping that. It won't work miracles but it is a helping hand for a small price.

Do you have any Ebay posts for me to read?
What bargains have you found?

ZOELLA BEAUTY.

First of all don't judge me!

I know the release of Zoella Beauty was literally so last year, (Naughty Blogger)!

I just need to start of by saying the scent of these products is out of this world! I just can't stop smelling everything and I know where the situation with the body mist is heading.. I'm going to need another one really soon!

Fizz Bar: 

This little beauty is brilliant for just dropping into your bath and I love that it looks like a giant chocolate bar so you can just break off a square as you use. The product doesn't smell as strong when it's in the water but then again it's technically fizzed and melted away so I guess that's why! This is perfect if you're like me and don't always want a bath filled with bubbles but still want to make your bath time a little special.

Soak Opera:

Continuing with the theme of loveliness..

 I love the colour of this, with the pearl shine to it. It smells divine and lathers up really easily with the smallest amount.

Creamy Madly Dreamy:

I am super impressed with this! If you've read any of my previous posts where lotions, body butters or moisturisers are concerned you know that If it doesn't dry straight away then I don't want to know but this just sinks into your skin and smells wonderful.

Blissful Mistful:

As I've already said I can't stop spraying this. I even sprayed it on me before going to bed.. I've never done that with a spray before. I think its because it's such a gentle, clean, fresh scent that It's just nice to smell whether it's first thing in the morning, or in my case the last thing at night!

I think Zoe and her team have done really well with bringing this collection together and its something she should be hugely proud of!
