MAC Studio sculpt Review...

Hi my lovelies..hope you are all geared up for this evenings festivities!

For years now I've been on the quest to banish my oily skin by plastering it with my trusty Estee Lauder double wear light.  Lately, maybe its due to my skin feeling extremely dehydrated..I've fancied a more dewy, fresh look for my skin so set about finding a temporary replacement foundation...cue studio sculpt.

As many of you know- not many foundations can beat Estee Lauders coverage- so i was wary that this would not match when it came to covering imperfections.  I must say that i am really impressed with the coverage and finish of studio sculpt.  The application is really simple and the product is really blendable and can be built up easily.

Before: as you can see i have quite a few broken capillaries on my cheeks...

After: No concealer or editing...just the foundation so that you can see the level of coverage :)

All in all I'm in love with this product and i think you'll agree from the images it provides great coverage and leaves a lovely dewy finish.  I am a happy bunny.

Have you tried this...thoughts?

Have a great NYE!

Rome...

Ive been extremely lazy in getting this post done- mainly due to its photo heavy nature.  I highly recommend putting Rome on your bucket list- its a very expensive but beautiful place.  I visited with my housemate and brother :) Hope you enjoy the snaps...

Blueberry and Lemon cupcakes...

Im obsessed with blueberries. I find an excuse to sneak them in to most things and when that "thing" is cake, i can almost fool myself into thinking they are reasonably healthy :/


I gave this recipe a whirl and apart from the frustration of converting cups to grams/mls it actually turned out pretty well. In fact the batch of 12 didnt make it past the end of the day.

Mac Flamingo and Sweet and Sour...

Why Mac, why?

Im sure you can all sympathise with my sorrow when all of the nicest colours Mac release are Limited edition. I wish there were an opportunity to stock up but as we all know they sell out within a blink of an eye :(

Anyway, here they are in all their pretty, limited edition glory...

Sweet and Sour:

Flamingo:

Did you manage to nab either of these?

The Bomb...

I love independent shops on the high street and i love them more even more so when they sell little gems like these...

After ploughing through nearly all of what Lush have to offer, i had meant to order some goodies from the Bomb cosmetics for quite some time but never quite got round to it.  I popped into a little gift shop in my town and now found that they sell quite a large array of products.

I love the little Easter bombs but the pink glittery one smells the best on my opinion :)

Like Lush products the scent lingers and my skin felt silky smooth after- smiles all round.  Ive noticed on their site that there are some new whoopie blasters which im not dying to try.

Have you tried any of the bomb products?

Three things...

Three little things that made me smile this week...

Glitter nails- Something about glitter just makes me smile.  Jessica samba parade and Martha Stewart rose quartz glitter.

Handmade gifts- I promised myself that all my friends presents this year would be handmade/ personal as i really enjoy stamping/craft etc. It annoys me that i dont have more time on my hands sometimes!  I made my best friend this cute little hamper and a batch of my strawberry cupcakes from my previous post.

Pretty gems- some new jewels from Accessorize.  I like how alex munroesque the bumble bee necklace is.

I hope you all had a lovely week- enjoy the weekend.

Sweet pea...

Everyone has that one base fragrance that they love right?

Mine is sweet pea.

I think my love for this scent started in 2007 when I discovered bath and body works for the first time. Since then whenever I visit the states I bring a separate bag back filled with their goodies!

I have found a few sweet pea secnted products here in the uk-but none quite as nice as bath and body works. We need a bath and body works in the uk- feeling quite passionate about this lol!

Does anyone else share my love for bath and body works? What's your favourite scent?
