Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam

This product, was one I was very sceptical to try, I used to have the dream matte mouse as a foundation when I was about 15 and just starting out with make-up, so I wondered if this was going to be similar, but better (if that makes sense?)

I love this foundation, Its so light and blend-able, its not high coverage, so is great if you want a lighter make-up look, or you're on holiday and want slight coverage. 

It doesn't feel cakey when its on, or clog on the skin, it glides on smoothly and blends really well with either a brush or your fingers. 

The shade range is great, and is suits skin tones well, to give a natural finish, however I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin, as it dries it out further. 

I went for 020 Cameo, because I had that colour when I had the Dream Matte Mouse, which suited me very well. 

I also like that this has a pump, so you don't lose a lot of the product in a glass bottle where it pours out!

The Airfoam is very affordable, and does everything it says; gives a nude perfect finish, using its air infused foundation techniques. 

I would 100% recommend this, if you're starting out with make up, or just want a light coverage foundation, this is perfect for you!

Mini Beauty Haul

So recently I have been pretty stressed out with exams and coursework, after handing my last piece in yesterday, I decided to head into Boots to pick up a couple of things as a reward for completing everything. I thought I would do a mini haul just briefly going through the bits I brought, hopefully giving you guys some inspiration to treat yourself too.

The first thing I brought was the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, in the shade 52 vanilla. I absolutely love this foundation, it goes on so nicely, with a medium coverage and is really easy to blend. This is now retailing for £9.99 (which I'm pretty sure has gone up from what it was) but I know I will always re-purchase this as it is my every day foundation. 

                                                     

 As Boots where doing a buy one get one half price on Bourjois I opted for the Felt-tip/ eyeliner called Liner Feutre Ultra black, 24 hour lasting. I haven't tried this yet, but I am a big fan of felt liners, and I am running out of my old one which was a Barry M liner, and thought I would try something different. As this was half price instead of being £6.99 it was £3.49, which in my opinion is a complete bargain, so I am looking forward to giving this a go.

The next thing I brought was a real bargain in the clearance section, and it was the No7 Lip crayon in the shade Singing. This is already a favourite of mine, as when I purchased it I didn't realise it was an actual crayon (crazy I know) and it is brilliant. It comes with a sharpener in the lid, which is really handy, and its really moisturizing and super rich in colour, a complete bargain for only £2.

Lastly, the item that I actually went to Boots for was the Loreal Paris Collection Privee lipstick in the shade Cheryl's nude. I have seen a lot of beauty bloggers rave about this and after the stressful week I had I thought I would take the plunge and buy it. It was quite expensive for a lipstick, costing £8.19, which I think seeing as Mac ones aren't much more, its a lot of money. However I am glad I purchased it as its a beautiful nude colour that goes great with any outfit day or night. I would 100% recommend treating yourself to this lipstick, it will now stay in my bag with me forever.
