Dry Skin Saviours!

I'm just one of the unlucky people to have extremely dry skin... it sounds like I'm like just complaining but its one of the worst complexion types to have when you're looking for foundation!
If a brand specialises in foundations for a particular skin type, it'll more than likely be "combination/oily skin" and I think, fair enough, but there is no excuse not to have a version specifically for dry skin... because there's nothing worse than having an almost grainy looking face due to the formula disagreeing with my skin...
But finally after searching and searching I've come across my saviour in the form of Revlon's Colourstay Makeup for Normal / Dry Skin and my shade was 180 - Sand Beige. Here's a few pictures and possibly a quick swatch on my skin -



 So yes, its a liquid which is lovely when I put it on my skin and has such a good coverage - and amazingly my skin looked flawless! (minus spots obviously but I have concealer for that hehe) I'd 100% recommend it and my sister's already bought one for herself so its definitely worthwhile.
The only tiny complaint I have (I'm just being nitpicky) is that there's no dispenser as such? if you know what I mean, like you have to pour it onto your hand or whatever and it leaves a mess in the lid, but its worth it!

If you have dry skin then I'd rush out to buy it fast! I bought it in Boots for £12.49. (half the price of my old Clarins one)

And on a further dry skin note, I bought the Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match moisturiser a while ago for dry to very dry skin just to see what it was like and I was very pleasantly surprised! Its now my new day moisturiser; i.e I put it on before applying make up :) its velvet-y in texture and absorbs quite fast :)


I bought it on special offer price (I think?) for £3.99 in Superdrug. I'll be buying another one soon!

lust-have!


I'm thinking Topshop is trying its hardest to make my debit card and I go weak at the knees.. 


To buy or not to buy?
That's my dilemma. Should I invest £30 into these acid wash beauties - I mean I can carry them all the way to Summer because I could wear them with or without tights and due to the style they'll go with most tops!

They're just so beautiful. 

On another lustful note.. check out this Pull&Bear tshirt - IT HAS AUDREY HEPBURN ON IT! 

You have no idea how long I've been craving a Hepburn printed tee, well here it is on the website.. I need this so much. 

 wowowow ❤

aztec nails! 

i made this following roughly the instructions from the wah nails book and even though they took a while, i got such a feeling of satisfaction with the end result and all my effort was worth it.

nail polishes used:
  • base : Primark metallic gold
  • Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique dot + flick black nail art pen
  • Wah nails x Model's Own nail art pen in white
  • No7 Stay Strong clear coat
these have now lasted for nearly five days and still going strong - a bit of a nail art record for me!

welcome

to my blog.

i'm not new to blogging but i've never stuck with it. please please make this worthwhile and follow me for fashion, life and rants about people!


love
