Foundation Love

Hey guys

Sorry i have been absent for a while a lot has been going on with me.
I got engage so excited , so right now iam planning my engagement party which is in 3 weeks (cant wait).

So in my last post i was trying a tester of the Dior Forever foundation... and i have to say i LOVE it so i purchased it.

The only bad thing about it is that it is a very runny liquid (the only word i can think of the now)
But the coverage it great and it does last the day for me.
So i would recommend purchasing this foundation to anyone.

Iam getting my makeup done at the mac counter for my party so i will let you know how i get on..
Cant wait.

Oh well see you soon

Feb - First Purchase

Hi
I was trying to be good with my spending habit but my will power is poor especially when i pass the mac store.
I only bought a couple of things this time but i have my eye on some product to purchase in the near (and i mean very near) future.
Firstly i pick up a lip Glass in Florabundance.


I love this lip glass it is perfect if you are going for the nude look with shine.
In the picture it does look more pinky than it really is, it is more peachy than picky i would say when looking at it.
It is defiantly worth it this lip glass cost me £12 and it is a handy size for your bag.

I also picked up Mac Mocha Powder Blush



This blush does look almost plummy but the sales assistant tried in on me and i fell in love. It gives you a natural glow without looking dirty which brown, plummy shades of blush can do some time.


I was also looking to purchase some new foundation when i was out but wanted to try something new so the girl at Dior gave me a tester of the Dior Forever foundation. I few of my friends have used this and they rave about it so i will give it a try and let you know how i get on.


I will try out all my purchases and do a review of them to let you know how i got on.
See ya soon Luv C xx

Product Rave - For Hair, Dust It


I absolutely love this product and can not live without it, so i thought i should introduce it to the world of Beauty lovers.


We all like to get height and volume in our hair but a problem that we all find without polluting the air with hairspray, is making that height last for the whole night out. Well ladies that is what this product does.


I have found a solution, Osis Dust It. It is a matifying powder to help keep the style you want. The powder has a lightweight texture to assist the natural movement of your hair and help add texture.




This product is available online from a Salon / Sallys services, it costs around £8 cant remember exactly but it does last you a long time as a little of this product goes a long way.


When you first use this product in your hair you might be put off as it does give your hair a dry feeling sensation, but i promise keep using it and you will love the results.


How to Use

For extra volume at the roots just apply Dust It directly to the root only use a little bit. For extra line separation apply more powder in small amounts where it is needed.



  • Separate your hair into small sections at a time

  • each section tease with a comb or a backcomb brush

  • Sprinkle a small amount of dust it into the root of each section and rub in

  • Smooth the top of the hair over with a comb too smooth it out, but do not completely remove all the teasing you have just done.


And there you have instant volume


Top Tip: if out and about and you feel your hair has went slightly flat, simply push it up with your fingers and the dust it will react and hold the style in place.


Leave me any comments if you want to know more


See ya Luv C
