Nars products

As it was payday I thought I would treat myself to some new makeup. I have always heard such good reviews about Nars products but was yet to try any.  I love watching Zoella and Tanya Burr on YouTube and they seem huge fans of the Nars sheer glow foundation and their skin always looks flawless.

Nars sheer glow foundation

I am shade Santa Fe, which is a few shades darker than my actual skin tone but I fake tan so often it matched perfectly. I am blown away with this foundation, it looks like my second skin absolutely flawless. I would say it was medium coverage but you could defiantly build it up. It looks very natural and makes my skin look refreshed and radiant. I will be repurchasing this product time and time again. 

Nars Blush- Orgasm

Such a pretty shade. A little goes a long way. This product is very pigmented and looks effortlessly gorgeous.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

This had to be one of the best concealer a I have ever tried! It sits perfectly on the skin and doesn't crease under the eyes. I feel like it makes me look well rested. The shade I use is called custard. This is ideal for covering blemishes and also can be used for highlighting. I am do happy with all of the Nars products they are  great quality.

Ted Baker Luxury Bathing Collection

This collection is very luxurious, the set comes with everything you need to have a good pamper and the packing is super cute too!

The Bath Wash smells amazing it is fruity and fresh. It is blended from bergamot , red fruit and has a feminine twist of tuberose and patchouli.

The Bath Foam creates lots of relaxing bubbles. I love nothing more than getting home from work and college and indulging in a warm bubble bath. The bath foam smells gorgeous containing vanilla, sandalwood, raspberry and rose.

The Body Lotion is scented with bergamot,red fruit, tuberose and patchouli and laves my skin feeling moisturized for hours! I apply in the morning, when I wake up.

If I am fancying a different scent to the body lotion, I sometimes spice it up and use the Ted Baker Body Souffle ,perfect for keeping my skin hydrated all day. This contains vanilla, sandalwood, raspberry and rose. The souffle is slightly thicker in consistency too!

My hands have been super dry this winter, the Hand Cream has become very useful. I actually have been applying a lot of hand cream onto my hands and then placing socks onto my hands before bed to keep them soft and nourished. This hand cream also contains Shea Butter which is known for its healing properties. 

Last but not least is the soap. This soap lathers really well and leaves hands felling squeaky clean!

I love this collection it is great for traveling and the bag is ideal too!

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation

Back in the Summer I treated myself to Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation. I had heard amazing reviews about this product and at the time wanted a foundation that would give me a glow.

At first I was pleased with this product as it did everything the beauty advisor on the makeup counter said. It gave me beautiful glowing skin and didn't feel heavy on my skin. The foundation also matched my skin perfectly. However I have oily to combination skin and after a good few hours I would find my makeup would look very shiny and did break my skin out. I wouldn't repurchase this product as I feel there are better foundations on the market!

Have you tried this foundation? What did you think?

St.Tropez - Self Tan Bronzing Gel

Hey guys,

 

 

The Christmas parties are going to be starting up soon, and as I am fair skinned I like to fake tan. I treated myself to St.Tropez - Self Tan Bronzing Gel, which cost me £18.00 from my local salon. I had never tried St.Tropez before but was excited to try it out because of the great reviews I had heard!

Firstly this fake tan gel is very natural looking. I applied the gel with a fake tan glove and found that it applied evenly with no blotches or streaks. There is a slight smell with this gel but it is not unpleasant.The colour is not at all orangery but very sun kissed. It is easy to apply and overall is gives me a natural looking colour! One application of this tan lasted me around 3 days and then it started to wear off. I would repurchase this product and give it a 9/10.

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil

Hey dolls,

As there has been a change in weather, there has been an obvious change in my skin over the last couple of months. My skin went very dry and flaky. I wanted it to clear up as quick as possible and resulted in trying out a few new products. 

One of my favourite products was the Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil, which is enriched with Argan, Macedonia , Rose and Almond. I sprayed it onto my face which left it a little slippery but after a while it sank into my skin. My skin felt lovely and moisturised with a lovely glow. It also has a lovely soft scent which smells divine . 

This product did the trick and within a couple of days my skin was back to normal. 

Have you tried this oil ?
