Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

It was only a matter of time before this landed on the blog, wasn't it. The minute I got a email through from Nars about their latest release, I was on their website colour matching and zooming through the check out. I have absolutely LOVED Sheer Glow (review here) by Nars. Sheer Glow set me up with high standards & expectations of Nars foundations, so I wanted to put this one to the test with it's "16 hour wear"& "blends effortlessly with one drop" promises. 


 

Current Drugstore Beauty Favourites

Yes, another favourites post. I just like buying make up too god damn much.
Despite my NARS addiction, I'm always on the hunt for a decent cheaper alternative, and todays post rounds up a handful of my current favourites. I love a good bargain! The majority are from Boots, but I'm 99% positive you can get them in Superdrug or your local supermarket's beauty section. 


Current Lush Favourites

This post has been on my to-do list for a loooong time. So much that I have purchased another favourite that is not pictured below but I will mention it anyway as I just love it so much. I really like Lush at the moment. As always I'm quite picky (a trend is appearing here...) with the fact I know what I like and absolutely won't pay £7 for a bath 'bomb' that makes my water green and not much else. I definitely am one of those people asking for all the demonstrations in the shop to see which one produces more bath bubbles (a essential bath-taking component). Sorry not sorry.


Too Faced Sweetheart Blush

This would have been a perfect Valentines style post but I have been SO busy the last few weeks it just completely slipped my mind. To be honest though, just LOOK at that packaging, do I really need a holiday as a excuse to write about it?! I picked this up in Sephora in the US after seeing them a few times over here, I was stuck between getting a pinker shade to add to my collection but out of the other two there were a few stark shades that just weren't my cup of tea overall (sorry not sorry). The 'Peach Beach' shade had just the right amount of coral pink, rosy pink & rose gold-esque pink to suit my musings.



Current Favourite Palettes

Another long overdue post! These two favourites today are most definitely ones I fall in love with every time I use them. I've lost count of the times I've mentioned them to friends or banged on about them and their contents! 


I'm a sucker for anything nude hued (all the rhymes) and these two fit the bill perfectly for an all round day-to-night collection of shades. I'm probably the only person that actually reads the little cards inside palettes of the different looks you can create & the mini 'How-To's' from the brand. But I really like them. Not only do they actually work but its always fun to learn different techniques and swapping shades with your own preference. Aaaaall of the mix and match fun.

Can't Put Down | Benefit 'Cheeky Sweet Spot' Blush Palette

Another favourite that I have been picking up time, and time again lately. This time it's a palette, and no, not a eye palette to add to my ever growing collection (yet). I saw these waaaay before Christmas in Debenhams, smack bang in the entrance to the store, surrounded by all of Benefit's Christmas collection & gift sets. After realising it was £30 (If I can remember correctly) and realising it had five blushers, a bronzer and a highlighter in, that normally retail at £23 a pop, it was love at first site. I eventually got my paws on this as a Christmas gift (after a lot of heavy hint dropping & link sending), and haven't stopped using it since! 



The Scent | Marc Jacobs 'Honey' Rollerball

This post has been a looooong time coming. 
Since I discovered these genius inventions in Sephora I have been scouring the internet for others/ a UK replacement for this one that I'm now obsessed with.
 Such a good idea and I can't believe I didn't discover them sooner!
