SPRING FAVOURITES

As I haven't done a favourites post in a while, I thought I would combine the products I have been loving into a spring favourites post.

-my first favourite has been the L'oreal Nude Magique BB cream, I bought this to take with me on holiday next week, however I have been trying it out this week. It comes out white which little black beads in it which melt into your skin and adjust to your skins colour. The colour it turns into is slightly darker than my natural skin tone however it looks like I am just naturally tanned, not orange. This makes my skin feel really smooth and hydrated and I feel like my skin can breathe.

-my next favourite is my mac eyeshadow in all that glitters and my rimmel waterproof kohl liner. I have been using these for my go to every day look. I find that using some of the eyeliner very close to the lashes and smudging it in so its not too full on looks quite natural and makes my lashes look alot thicker. The eyeshadow  gives my eyelids a little bit of colour without being too full on for everyday.

-one of my skincare favourites has been the No7 Soft and Soothed toner. I love this toner as it makes my skin so soft and it helps sooth my spots and help them heal. This toner is only £9 and you can get £5 off vouchers all the time so it works out quite cheap. I use it in the morning and evening and it just keeps my skin from getting red or too spotty.

-another skin care favourite has been the garnier pure active fruit energy gel scrub. I found this scrub to make my skin look so radiant and helps to get rid of my spots and blackheads. Its a really nice consistency as it is a gel and has just the right amount of beads to exfoliate but isnt too harsh on the skin. I have been using it at night time to help smooth my skin and help make it more radiant.

-my last favourite is the soap and glory sugar crush scrub. I use this once a week in the bath and it keeps my legs moisturised and smooth for the whole week. It also makes my skin look nicer and smoother. The smell of this is also amazing, I think it smells of dolly mixtures and yummy sweets. Its not too strong though, so you can't really smell it when you get out of the bath.

let me know if you like these kind of favourites videos.

L'oreal True Match Foundation


I've had L'oreal true match foundation for a while now, I first bought it as I was having a problem trying to find a foundation pale enough for my skin. This foundation has an amazing selection of shades going from pale to dark. I bought the palest shade however this is quite a pinky colour whereas my skin is quite yellow. This foundation is good when your skin is looking ok and not too bad and spotty, it has a really lightweight skin like feel to it. It has a semi matt finish which looks natural and keeps my skin shine free all day. It has really good staying power aswell.


I am currently using this foundation over the top of the L'oreal BB cream to try and lighten it and I find it looks so natural but still covers some of my spots. I find that this combo lets my skin breathe through the make up and helps to keep my skin nice and hydrated. 

At £10.29, this foundation is really good value and lasts a long time, I would really reccomend it.
