New favourite drugstore foundation

I wanted to try this foundation after hearing some amazing reviews of it. 
The L'Oreal Paris infallible 24hr matte foundation really does live up to its name. I have combination skin so keeping my T zone matte throughout the day can sometimes be tricky depending on what foundation or BB cream i use.

I love this foundation because it gives a medium coverage without feeling heavy at all. Once applied its matte almost immediately meaning its so easy to continue with the rest of your face makeup. The foundation feels so soft on the skin and doesn't feel like theres a layer of foundation there. 

I went for the shade 12 natural rose which is a really good colour match for me.


Ive had a little break from blogging recently as its been my birthday and i normally schedule posts to go up. I will be back to this routine fairly shortly.

Nars 'red lizard' lipstick

I recently bought this lipstick and love it so i thought i'd share it. 
The colour pay off is amazing, its so pigmented and applies so easily and smoothly. It's a semi-matte lipstick so it lasts for ages on the lips but is not too drying and powdery. 
Its a classic must-have red as it's deep and rich. 
It retails at £19.50 which is makes it a high end lipstick, but i think its worth the money and would recommend it to anyone wanting a classic red lipstick.
Below is a picture of myself wearing the lipstick..

Barry M natural shadow & glow blush palette 2

I wanted to buy a new eyeshadow palette that wasn't too big but still had a moderate variety of neutral shades. I wanted a smaller palette because i spend a lot of time travelling to and from my boyfriends house, so its much easier if i travel lightly! I like the MUA and Sleek eyeshadow palettes because they are good quality, cheap and small. But i wanted to try something new and i had my eyes on the new Barry M palette...




I think theres 5 different palettes in this collection. I chose this one because as soon as i looked at it i liked the colours a lot. Not only is this a small palette but it also has a blush in it swell so it means one less makeup product to carry around. 

There are two matte eye shades in the palette which (from the left) are the second and third shades. The other four shades are shimmery and include a; plum, grey, medium brown and a dark brown. The quality of these eyeshadows are fairly good and although i have only used it a couple of times so far, I'm really liking it. The blush has a slight shimmer through it, its a gorgeous rosy pink colour.

Theres a big mirror in the palette on the flap which magnetically shuts which is also very useful for touching up your makeup on the go. I would highly recommend this palette. 

I got this palette from Superdrug for £6.49
