Fix me? | MAC Fix+

MAC Fix+ £13.50

I've been umming and ahhing over MAC Fix+ for nearly 2 years (yes, I kid you not!). I guess this was mainly because I hadn't read the best reviews on its ability to "set" make up.. so I wasn't sure if i'd have a use for it.. not to mention i've been quite content using hairspray for that job instead! 

So.. What made me bite the bullet? 

Well, more recently i've read how its able to remove powdery finishes and leave a dewy glow. SOLD. I hate when you put blusher/ bronzer/ mineral foundation on and it looks powdery and un-natural. I then end up struggling to remove half of it to make it look "real", by which time I begin to loose patience!! With Fix+ you spritz a light mist over your powdered make up and you should be left with a wonderfully natural look. Well thats how i'm hoping to use it! I had wanted to purchase the smaller bottle as a trial, but the MAC I went to was out so I ended up getting the 100 mL.. and at £13.50 it is quite pricey. 

I'll let you know how I get along.. Fingers crossed its worth it!!

What uses do you have for MAC Fix+?

Oh bobbi! | Bobbi Brown EXTRA repair foundation

Bobbi Brown EXTRA Repair Foundation SPF 25 £36

Whilst everyone seems to huddle around the MAC counter in Selfridges, you can find me with Bobbi! Having completely finished my BB Luminous moisturizing foundation - and I mean holding it upside down waiting for the last drop to come out - I decided it was time for something new! Don't get me wrong, that foundation was awesome, but I have this inability to buy the same thing twice!

This leads me to my BB EXTRA repair foundation SPF 25 purchase. After carrying out extensive research I settled on this; mainly because my skin is always a little dry so I liked its moisturising qualities.

Opinions please..

I've used it for just over a month and I can safely say its my current favourite foundation. It has a very rich formula which sinks into my dry, sensitive skin with ease. I might add that its not recommended for those of you with oily skin and I can see why - its only going to create a more greasy look! But if you skin is like mine, it leaves a beautifully natural glow. It provides light to medium coverage which is buildable and I find a little goes a long way; I tend to use a pea size amount with my fingers.

Any bad points?

Probably the only thing I would complain about is the smell. Its not as bad as my BB luminous moisturizing foundation which I'm smelling as I write and its AWFUL (maybe thats why I didn't repurchase). However, it definitely does have a scent.. almost like a herb - but I'm ok with that!

Have you tried the foundation? What did you think?

Beautiful? | Kurt Geiger Spence boots

KG Spence boots  £59

Since we have the most unpredictable weather in London (one minute your hot, the next your cold - I seem to always be cold), I decided why not fuel my shoe obsession with some new boots! As I've have "petite feet" its quite hard to find anything that looks nice and actually fits without having to buy insoles and the rest of that rubbish.
Anyways, my most recent purchase are these brown suede beauties which I got on sale from Kurt Geiger. Although their non-sale section seems to be ridiculously over priced, sometimes you can find complete bargains in their sales; these were reduced by more than half price! I love the feel and colour of the suede.. its that camel colour that'll go with anything, and with their slight western feel I think they'll be perfect for this autumn. 

I can't wait for the weather to turn bad so I can wear them haha! 

empty carton.

Hello to anyone who has stumble upon this blog!

After much deliberation, I finally plucked the courage to start my own blog. I guess after spending many hours poring over other wonderful blogs (and there certainly are a lot), I decided why not?

So here it is, my own empty carton that I hope to fill with beauty, lifestyle, humour and the odd bit of controversy!

I hope my posts inspire you and please feel free to leave me comments :)
