MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation

Last weekend I went shopping and picked up the new MAC Studio Waterweight Foundation, I had wanted a new foundation for a while because the foundation I had been using wasn't working for me. I have found this foundation to be amazing so I wanted to do a small review on it for all of you.


Firstly I got the foundation in the shade NC15 which I think is one of the lightest shades and it matches my skin perfectly (I definitely recommend getting your shade matched in a MAC store). One thing that I found completely different from any other foundations is that it has a dropper which I actually like better than a pump because it doesn't get as messy.


To apply this foundation I have used a real techniques buffing brush and a real techniques beauty blender and I find that the beauty blender is better to use. The foundation has a sheer to medium coverage which I love because I don't like to have a lot of coverage, and the first thing I noticed when I put this on is that it didn't cake up anywhere on my face which is a problem I had with the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. It also feels so weightless on my face and although it has a sheer coverage I find that it covers my blemishes really well.


Overall this foundation is perfect and even though I have oily skin it does control some of the oil and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new foundation. It is reasonably expensive being £25.50 but it is definitely worth it!

Spring Lips

At this time of year I tend to stop wearing darker lipsticks and start leaning towards nude and light colour lipsticks, I have added a lot to my collection of lipsticks recently and most have been perfect for Spring so I picked four to show you which I have been wearing constantly. Also the swatch on my hand from left to right is; Too Faced Lipstick, YSL Lipstick, Mac in Blankety and Mac in Velvet Teddy.


MAC | Blankety
This was a lipstick that I got for my birthday and at first I didn't think that this colour would suit me at all because its so light but I was surprised to find that I loved it! It is a Amplified Creme Lipstick so is a very creamy and moisturising formula which is lovely for this time of year and the colour is a gorgeous light pink colour.


MAC | Velvet Teddy
Velvet Teddy is a very popular shade of lipstick from Mac and I love it to, its slightly darker than the rest of the lipsticks but is still a lovely matte nude for spring time.


YSL | 9 Nude In Private
I have never bought from YSL before and this was a very quick purchase from duty free so I was a bit nervous that I had wasted my money but I was very pleased because the colour is a nude pink shade (a little more pink than anything else I own). But the best thing about this lipstick is the formula because it is so creamy and goes on your lips so easily.


Too Faced | Nude
When I first tried this I didn't like it very much and I found that it didn't last for long at all but I have recently started using it again and I love the colour which is a perfect nude for spring and how easy it is to apply.

I love all of these lipsticks and recommend all of them to you although they are all on the pricey side I think it is worth it for the quality you get and they are great for the Spring and Summer months.

What I Got For My Birthday 2016

You might have noticed that I haven't posted for 2 weeks which I am very sorry about but I was on a school skiing trip that run over both Saturdays that I wanted to post on however in the week I was away it was my birthday on the 31st of March on which my friends that went on the trip with me made the day amazing. I turned 15 and received some gifts from family and friends which I am so grateful for and so I decided to gather everything I got and show you it, I am just going to list everything I got instead of writing about it because I think it may become boring if I write about every single present.

I love every single thing that was given to me and I was mainly given money from my family for my birthday which I didn't include in the list. I can't believe that the Easter holidays are nearly over already but I had a great time and I will probably show you some pictures from skiing on here soon.

Makeup Products That Are Worth The Splurge

I always think the hardest thing about makeup is deciding whether or not to treat yourself to that £15 lipstick or the £38 eye shadow palette, because it is a lot of money to be spending on one thing. So today I have gathered some of my favourite high end makeup products to show you that I think are 'worth the splurge'.


Mac Lipstick | Velvet Teddy
First is a Mac lipstick in Velvet Teddy which is a beautiful nude matte shade that you can wear for anything so is definitely worth the money. I think most of the Mac lipsticks are worth the money and some of my other favourite shades are Twig and Modesty.


Benefit Rockateur Blush
I mentioned this in my February Favourites post a little while ago, but I definitely think although this is quite expensive this blush has a lovely deep pink colour and is such good quality. 


Mac Mineralize Skin Finish | Soft & Gentle
I got this for Christmas and I can now understand why this is so popular because it is such an amazing quality highlighter and I think although this is a lot of money for a highlighter this one is so worth the money and will also last for ages.


Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette | Strip
When it comes to palettes Urban Decay pretty much have it all covered and one of my favourites is the naked flushed palette because it's such a good all in one palette which is great for traveling. I think this is definitely worth the splurge as the bronzer, blush and highlighter are all such good quality.


Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
This is the only naked eye shadow palette I own and I would love to get some more but I think this palette has an amazing range of colours and a lot of them are nude so are very wearable for every day. 


Those are my favourite high end products that I think are worth the splurge and I also wanted to say thank you for 50 followers on here! I am so grateful to everyone that reads my blog posts every week, thank you so much!

Letting Go Of Negativity

As you can probably see already by the title is this is a different type of post from what I usually do, I have been sat on my computer for a while trying to figure out how to write this but I think I have got it now. Recently something has been bothering me with a friend and has caused me and quite a few other people some bother, it has surprised me how much one little thing has annoyed me and I haven't quite been able to shake it for a while.


I won't go into detail as that would be unfair on the person and also a little personal on my side but this one stupid thing has kind of weighed me down. Then a really good friend of mine told me 'if you know its not true then why do you let it get to you?' and that made me realise how I need to let it go if I ever want to stop worrying about it because its not my problem its theirs. So now my goal for this month is to start trying to let go of negativity and focus on all the good people and things in my life.


I know this topic hasn't exactly been very joyful and this post may come off a bit corny. But it is something I am so glad I got off my chest and wrote down, finally deciding to let go of this problem has really helped and I encourage you all to do the same if you are in a similar situation. If you have any thoughts, similar situations or even any more advice to let go of negativity please leave a comment as not only would it help me it could help anyone that reads my blog.
