My Favourite Foundation // Autumn/Winter

 Hi,

I wasn't planning to do a post on my foundation, but I've been loving it so much, I thought I'd share it with you all!

 I only came across this foundation because of being given a £3 off voucher for No7. Usually, I don't pay much attention to these and throw them in the bin or get buried in the bottom of my bag. However, I needed a new foundation and with the voucher off, this foundation only comes to slightly more than a drugstore one would anyway!

I confess - I used to think that this was more of an old ladies brand and not even gone near the counter. Oh boy, I was so so wrong! This is my holy grail foundation and that is saying something! You can tell it is a slightly more expensive brand, because the consistancy is gorgeous and just sits on your face so so well - it doesn't even feel like you have foundation on!

The staying power is amazing - I can wear this for a full day of college or a day out and come back with a full face of make up on, even in the rain! The packaging is also so sleek and classy - I absolutely love it!

At £14.50, it is a bit more than you may normally pay for a foundation and it is so worth it - plus, save your No7 vouchers that you usually throw away like I do and put them to good use on this!

You can buy the foundation at Boots, and they also give you a free foundation shade check, which is perfect if you're new to foundation or new to no7 foundation. I am very pale and am the palest shade, so if you're pale, try this foundation!

I hope you enjoyed this chatty review & I'll see you next week!

Love,
Katy

Lush Haul!

Hi,

It had been a good few months since I'd have the chance (and money) to go to Lush, and so I decided to have a little splurge on the website! I thought I'd share with you what I got (everyone loves a Lush haul!)

back row, l-r: Intergalatic, Twilight & the Comforter at the bottom
front: Granny takes a dip, the Experimenter and the Sex bath bomb on top

1) Intergalactic  £3.95, Bath Bomb

I think this may actually be my new favourite all time bath bomb - and THAT is saying something! It is quite literally like sitting in the milkey way - the deep blue like the sky and all the chunks of colour hidden in the middle makes it look amazing! It smells of peppermint and is such a spectacle! There was glitter stuck to the bottom of my bath afterwards though - my Mum wasn't too pleased!

2) Twilight - £3.35, Bath Bomb
This is a bath every little girl would love - pastel pinks and purples/blues with dashes of glitter leave you feeling like a little princess! Using this bath bomb before bed time is perfect - violet aroumas calm you down after a long day and get you ready for bed. Also leaves you feeling nice and well pampered before wrapping up in a dressing gown and hot chocolate before bed!

3) The Comforter  - £4.75, Bubble Bar
I originally bought this last year when I was moving house and I knew it'd be lovely after a stressful day. I absolutely loved it and have re-purchased it ever since - it is definitely in my top 3 favourite Lush products. With scents of blackcurrent, you feel like you're bathing under a bubble of Ribina (but not as sticky - that'd be
a bit gross!) Although the website says half at a time, I'd say a quarter is more than enough! The water goes a lovely dark pink/purple and it feels like you're under a blanket of warm, silky lovely smelling water, in another world!

4) Granny Takes A Dip - £3.65, Bubble Bar
I hadn't used this one before, but I know it's an old lush favourite - I think it's been around a good couple of years, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd heard rave reviews and boy, I was not disappointed! The colourful outside of the product is the same on the inside. As a bubble bar, this can be divided into 2 or 4 sections, breaking a bit under the tap as you go. Therefore, it's more bubbly and not as much as a spectacle. The citrus scent is revitalising & you're left feeling very soft and warm.

5) The Experimenter - £3.95, Bath Bomb
If you're looking for a very colourful and impressive display, look no further! The 'Experimenter' bath bomb has multiple different colours on the exterior. When you drop it in the bath, it's like an explosion of colour in your bath! In my opinion, this is well worth the money! Only negative - because there is so much colour, it can swirl together to make a grey colour.


6) Sex Bomb - £3.35, Bath Bomb
The smell and appearance in the bath of this bomb is very similar to that of the Twilight bath bomb - rather pink with violet. However, I feel like the smell of this bath bomb is a bit more mature and herb scented - perhaps aged at 16+, especially with the name of the bath bomb! The little petals that float out are a lovely surprise and again, very relaxing bathtime experience.


I hope you've enjoyed this slightly chatty post! Let me know in the comments what you're favourite products are! If you haven't, what would you like to try?

See you next week!
Love, 
Katy
