Bare Minerals

I've spent years searching for the perfect foundation. Yes years.

They have either been too runny, too dry, too thick or too thin. I have been on a hunt to find the perfect foundation that covers my skin with out caking it and making it look uneven.

At last I have found the one!!

Bare Minerals Matte!

This is the best foundation I have ever used. It gives you even coverage, without looking like you are wearing foundation.

The girls on the beauty counter are extremely helpful, so it is well worth visiting them and getting them to help you find your perfect shade!

Beauty Review: NARS Illuminator

Hi guys! So as you know this is our second beauty review and today it will be on the NARS Illuminator.

First, I'm sure everyone is aware of the makeup brand NARS. I have always heard great things about the brand but I don't typically experiment with makeup and stick to basic foundation and eyeliner- this was until I stumbled upon the NARS makeup counter at Sephora in New York (speaking of, I think we will do really well with a Sephora in London!). Honestly, the only reason I even picked this up was because I happened to meet an over zealous worker who went on about how amazing it was; but I can now say that I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The NARS Illuminator comes in 4 shades: Laguna, Super Orgasm, Copacabana and Orgasm and I have this product in 'Laguna' which is described as golden-bronze hue and is exactly that. This product is great because it doubles as a highlighter and bronzer. I like mixing a small amount with  my foundation so it gives a really nice glow when I am in the sun. It's also perfect to use in the summer because it is not as heavy as regular foundation but blends in seamlessly. I highly recommend buying this product and if you are not too sure about what shade to get,  look for more information on the NARS website or visit their counter at Liberty, Selfridges, or Harvey Nichols -check the website for more locations in the UK

Super Orgasm- Peachy pink with gold glitter
Copacabana- Pealescent sheen
Orgasm- Peachy pink with shimmer

NARS Illuminator retails at £21.50 and can be bought online here

Beauty Review: Revlon Just Bitten

This is our first Beauty post and today's review is on the newly launched Revlon Just Bitten lip colour range.

Revlon's Just Bitten is described as a Lipstain + Balm, which is exactly what it is- one end is the lipstain which is designed as a felt tip and the other end is a regular clear lip balm. It is available in 15 different colours but unfortunately only 7 of these colours are available here in the UK. 

I purchased this in only one color,  'Frenzy' which I would describe as a dark berry colour. It lasts a very long time and is pretty easy to use. The lip balm on the end is a good addition because it allows your lips to be moisturized before applying the lip colour which makes the application easier. You also get 2 things for 1 at a good price of £7.99.

The only problem I had is that the lip balm snaps off very easily and I don't seem to be the only one, as other girls in the office had the same experience and it seems to be a common complaint online as well.

Overall, I will recommend buying this product if you're looking for a lip colour that is long lasting. I like that the lip balm adds a bit of moisture so your lips don't look dry and the colour is even. The only problem is with the lip balm that breaks off but if you experience this, you can always use another lip balm.

Revlon Just Bitten is available at Boots (3 for 2 offer) right now.
