Little Lush Addiction

Lately I have become addicted to lush, the smell in there is so amazing and you just feel so fresh when you walk out. I have really sensitive skin and find it difficult to find things I can use- Lush is one of the things I can.

So of course yesterday when i went in i just could not resist.

I bought two things and the woman that served me Through in a sample as well which was so kind of her.

The sample i got was the lush cupcake face mask, This will be very helpful as i have had bad elegiac reactions to face masks you can buy in places such as Tesco- so im exited to try this out.

Now on to what I actually bought

The first think I bought was sweet heart soap. This soap was limited addition to valentines day but the lush I went to still had this one in. I was debating over which soap to get for ages but in the end decided to get this one for the reason that it wont be around much longer. this soap was around £3.25 and i got 118g witch is actually quite a lot. 

The next thing is the cutest thing of all its the Hoppy Easter gift set. This set comes with a fluffy egg (Bath Bomb) and a carrot (Bubble Bar) the carrot can be used up to 8 times- i'm exited to see how it turned out. This set retails for £10.95 so its more on the pricer side but you have to admit its so cute.

Thats all i picked up this time. look out for more lush hauls and reviews.

Sneaky Little NARS Haul

The other day I went shopping but didn't buy anything, But ones I got home I did a little sneaky order on Nars. I love Nars so much there quality is so amazing, but i have to say most of the time I buy the gift sets as there amazing deals but this time I order things by them self.

I ordered two things but when they arrived this morning I had a really nice surprise as they had added something little in the package as well.

So the first thing i got was the Nars sheer glow foundation in the colour light 1 (Siberia). I was debating over this one or the makeup forever HD foundation but everyone convinced me I should get this one. This foundation comes with 1 FL. OZ. 30mL and it costs £29.50 witch is a whopper of a price but i am trying to find the perfect foundation. (Review coming soon)

The second thing I decided to get was a duo eye shadow. everyone raves about how amazing nars eye shadow are so I decided I wanted to jump on the bagging weal and try them out. I got the colour isolde because Zoe from Zoella always wears this one and it looks absolutely amazing. This retails for £24 and comes with a NET WT .0.14 OZ. 4g.

The little extra goody i got was the pro prime pore refining primer. You don't get much product but its a nice little sample, you get 0.06 Fl. Oz. 2mL.

So it was just a little haul but i was exited to share what i got with you. look out for a review on the Sheer glow foundation as it should be up in the next week or two.

Bronzer Comparison: Nars Laguna VS Benefit Hoola

Have you ever wondered which bronzer to get? People always rave over 2 different ones you may think what is the difference between them, Well hopefully this post will help you.

Lets start with Nars Laguna.

Nars say- " Brown with golden shimmer" 

Nars Laguna is a light toned brown with gold shimmer, this bronzer is amazing for contouring as it comes out being semi matt, this means the shimmer is not over powering and can hardly be seen. The colour of this bronzer douse not come out orange on the skin and would look good on people with light to mid toned skin. 

This bronzer comes in the ever so famous Nars rubber Packaging which collects finger prints like there is no tomorrow 

Laguna comes with a Net Wt 0.28 Oz 8g, it also has a best before date of 24 months. 

Pros: Comes out true to colour on your skin

      Big Mirror for on the go 

      A little bit goes a long way

      Not Chalky or powdery 

      gives a nice glow

Cons: very expensive £25

      Gets dirty easy

      Can crack easy

I really like this bronzer and will defiantly be buying it again ones i run out.

Now onto Benefit Hoola.

Benefit say: "Dust this soft bronze powder over your complexion for a healthy, natural looking "tan" year-round. No tanning bed necessary! Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush. It's pure colour - no sparkle and no shine!" 

Benefit Hoola is a matt bronzer, it is a light toned brown which has a nice soft texture. A little bit of this bronzer goes along way as it is very pigmented so make sure to only use a little bit as you can go back for more.

The Packaging for this bronzer may look cute but its not very handy. It can get broken easy as it is maid of cardboard and things attach them self to it as it has a magnet in side. 

This bronzer also comes with a Net Wt 0.28 oz 8g

As you can tell i love this bronzer as i have hit pan on it :)

Pros: Matt finish so grate for contouring
      True to colour
      Lasts a long time
      Really smooth
      Good for light to mid toned skin
      Easy to find

Cons: Packaging brakes easy
      Hard to control amount using
      £23.50
      Douse not say how long it can be used for

As you can tell i really like this bronzer and if i had to pick just one i would goo with hoola as I think its a lot easer to use and looks amazing (also it cheaper)

Review- M.A.C Studio Sculpt Foundation

This is my review on the mac studio sculpt foundation.

I thought this review might be very useful for some of you as when I was looking into buying this foundation myself i could not find a review on studio sculpt all I could find was studio fix. so hear is my thoughts.

Mac says "A creamy, luxurious, gel-based foundation that provides medium buildable to high coverage with a natural satin finish. Hydrating, instantly revitalizes the skin while keeping it looking smooth, soft and plush. Long-wearing, water-resistant" 


I have been using this foundation for 1 month and it has some good points and some bad points. I am in the colour NC15 (the shades run a shade lighter than all the other mac foundation)

 Pros: 23 diffrent shades to choose from
       Easy to blend 
       Only need a little bit for entire face
       medium coverage
       Hydrates 
       40 ML 
       Has Spf 15


 Cons: Not water-resistant
       Rubs off even when been set
       Only good in colder weather

This foundation retails for £23 in the uk. 
Even though there are a few bad points about this foundation I really like it as it matches perfect with my skin. I will defiantly be reaching for this foundation when autumn comes back around. 
I would not recommend this foundation to people who have oily skin but would defently recommend it to people with dry skin.
i would recommend only warring this foundation in the colder weather.
