Current Drugstore Foundation Favourites

I always find it hard to find a foundation that I like and matches my skin tone. 
I hate testing in store, I find it cringey, and very messy to open up the little testing pots, which always seem to be covered in crap. 
However, recently I have been catching up on some beauty bloggers, and really 'stealing' ideas from them on which foundations to try on etc, mainly focusing on those who have the same skin tone as me, so I can just buy their shade. Risky I know, but luckily for me its paid off!

The two that I have been loving are both Rimmel, and both amazing!
The first is the Match Perfection, one I feel you will have all heard of. I love this, its so dewy and light. It leaves your skin looking so radiant and healthy without making your skin look cakey. 
The colour range for this is pretty good, as there is a few too choose from if you're of a light to medium skin tone. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin, as I feel it would just slide off and make your face look shinier than you want. 
This foundation is so build-able and a great affordable price of £6.99.
The next is Rimmel's newest foundation; the Lasting Finish 25 hour. I love this, I have only used it once, but I can already tell it will be a staple in my make-up bag. 
This is a full coverage foundation, that does stay on for quite a long time, even through exercise. I love that this is skin perfecting, balancing out any imperfections and again it leaves your face really glowing and looking healthy. 
This is priced at £7.99, a great price for a new product, and a little bit really does go a long way!
I would 100% recommend this this new product out, if you're on the look for a new foundation.


What's your current foundation fave?

First Outfit Post; Holiday Midi Skirt

This kind of post is a first for me, so bare with me as I play around with it. 
I also want to just say, I am not the most confident person with my body size or shape, and there are loads of things I would change, however after reading through one of SprinkleOfGlitter's latest youtube video, and seeing how brave she is, I thought I would give it a go.
Recently I went to Prague on holiday, and quite a few of my friends really liked the outfit I am about to show. 
Its a really simple, yet elegant summer look, perfect for holiday or even just at home when you're going out for lunch etc.


I love the midi skirt, and this has become a staple in my wardrobe, this one is from Primark and only cost me £10, a bargain if you ask me!
I love that its such a girlie colour, that can be teamed with almost any other colour, its a slight waffle effect, with a linen lining underneath, and comes with a brown waisted belt.
I love how light weight this skirt is, and floaty and girlie. ahhh I just love it. The smallest part of me, and my favourite 'body feature' is my waist, as its quite small, and I have an hourglass figure, so this skirt nips in at the waist and flares out to hide the fact I have chunky legs and a big bum.
I teamed this with a light pink shirt, from Dorothy Perkins sale which was £10. Again a gorgeous piece that I have put with loads of other things too.
This is a light flimsy shirt, but not see through, with a panel on the front, to cover the buttons, and a collar. 
This was perfect in the 36 degree heat which I was suffering in in Prague. 

I had cream flip flop sandals on, with gold studding in the middle, and flowers all the strap, these were Primark from a few years ago, but I know they stock similar styles now. They were super comfy to walk in all day, and gave your feet room to breathe in the sweltering heat. 

My accessories consist of a white Primark Satchel, which was £9, and was just perfect. 
It carried everything I needed it to, with extra pockets inside for my phone, lip balm, purse etc, and it was a lovely summer colour. 
I think satchels add a little extra class to any outfit, and they're handy to keep your hands free.

Lastly I had some 60 style sunglasses, also from Primark for £2. I have been after these for ages, and when I found them I was ecstatic. 
These are just cute and girlie, and tied the whole outfit together, especially as it matched colours.




So, just a few snaps, from my holiday to Prague, I hope this gives some style inspiration, and you guys like it.
