Bourjois Paris Foundation & Powder // Review

I saw alot of youtubers, bloggers and other people talking about this duo and I was really struggling to find a foundation that worked with my skin and lasted a long time. I then found this and instantly fell in love! 

I use the Healthy Mix Foundation, which doesn't dry you skin out, leaves your skin feeling hydrated and lasts the whole school day, which is impressive as my skin can get very oily! 

I then use the Healthy Balance Powder, which really sets everything in place and I just top it up at lunch time, on my T-Zone and it lasts all day! 

The great thing is, is that this duo works together, it doesn't smudge, doesn't disappear and doesn't go patchy unlike most skin products that I have used! Also I can get red skin and this really helps to hide it. 

I also found a shade, that matches my skin colour exactly which is rare! I'am shade 52 Vanilla, in both the foundation and powder.

These are also at the drug-store so they are in-expensive and they seem to last a really long time! 

What products do you use to create your base? Have you tried these products? Let me know in the comments below!

Benefit World Famous Neutrals // Review

I bought this eye shadow set, quite a while ago however it has lasted ages and i've only just hit the pan on 2 of the eye shadows!

This kit can take you from day to night, and you can do a wide range of looks, this consists of 6 eyeshadows, 4 powders and 2 cream eyeshadows.
You can use any of them together and you can always create a glamorous look! This is good for people just starting off with makeup and the more advanced.

My favourite look is to use one of the cream eyeshadows 'birthday suit' over the whole lid, 'call my buff' in the inner corner and 'gilt-y pleasure' in the middle of the eye lid. This creates a simple look, but glamorous!

There are lots of different looks you can do, and they last for ages and they are all very pigmented and you don't need a lot! Make sure you go and check it out!

Lots of Love,

Staying Organised // GSCE School Life

So I started my GSCES in September, when I first started, I was very organised, had little idea what I was doing and thought it would be like the first 2 years, I was wrong.

As its a new year, I wanted to get organised, so I did a few things to help me.

First of all I got a planner for school, are school no longer supplies these, so I wanted one, to keep track. Admittedly I have been bad with it, but now I rely on it, to make sure I meet all my deadlines. One week is spread over 2 pages so I keep one side for school and one side for social life! I wouldn't be without it!

I then got a really nice notebook, that I was given as a present but it is such a lovely print, that I just love using it! I use this for any ideas or thoughts I have, from blogging, to school work, to what I do in my spare time. I keep this with me at all times so I always have somewhere to write things down!

I then got sticky notes! I didn't want the boring ones, I wanted cool design ones which I would actually use. I got some from Paperchase and some from a little shop (I cant remember where!). I use these all the time, to write little notes and to remind me of things! These are defiantly a essential!

What do you use to keep organised?
I hope this inspired you!

Lots of Love,
