Illamasqua Satin Primer

About a 9 months I purchased this for a shoot and well, instead of being a good make up artist and leaving it in my make up kit where it belonged it some how ended up in my own personal make up bag whoops.

So anyway on with the review... I love this primer! Its my favourite!  So if you are a dewy skinned lover I would read on, if not, read on anyway because you need something to do and I don't want you getting bored. 

Illamasqua's Satin Primer helps my makeup stay in place longer, I wouldn't say as long as some primers but the finish on this is amazing. It helps add dimension to my face and it highlights all the right bits, so the tops of my cheekbones, nose, and cupids bow all become more noticeable, but not in an unnatural way (if that makes sense). If you are using to much of this product your face will feel greasy and the foundation wont sit nicely, so ladies as always in the makeup world, less is more.

I don't normally use this primer on its own, I always apply foundation over the top of it, you don't have to but this is what I feel comfortable with. I have noticed that my blusher sits nicely with this primer, its hard to explain why it just seems to create more depth.

I can't say how it affects oily skin as I don't have oily skin however Illamasqua seem to do a good job at producing products which suit most skin types. For me I have slightly dry skin and I feel like this product is hydrating my skin while I wear it. This primer contains UVA and UVB filters which means we wont get burnt (hooray!). The only thing this product doesn't do is reduce pores as it doesn't contain silicone in it, but for me this isn't a major problem.

The only let down with this product is the packaging it looks great don't get me wrong. But its not that practical for getting the product out, I sometimes over squeeze the bottle and end up with too much product, however this wont stop me buying Illamasquas Satin Primer again.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy.

Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
