In-Flight Rescue Kit

Our holiday is creeping up on us quicker than I can fathom, in 2 weeks (tomorrow) we shall be flying high on a long haul flight to Miami, after a short lay-over we then carry on to San José, Costa Rica. 

Mistakes

 

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know I said I was going to be a shining beacon of positivity, but today - oh, today, was just one of those days. It was one thing after another today and a mountain of things that needed to get sorted.

Manic Monday #27

Wow, I have really written 27 of these already?! That seems a bit mental to me.

It's Monday, it is bank holiday, which means only one thing in the UK - constant rain, huzzah!

I was in Boots the other day, no...really, I was perusing the make-up counters as payday was upon us, I stopped at the Bourjois counter as I needed a new foundation, my Healthy Mix Serum is running dangerously low. After some deliberation I decided I'd try a different base, as Bourjois are really doing something just right with bases at the moment. 

I ended up picking up the 10 Hour Sleep Effect as I thought the lightest shade of the Happy Light was a bit too yellowy for my skin-tone. Then I spotted there was an offer on 3 for 2 and a free pair of sunglasses...what can I say, I'm a sucka for all things offer-esque. 

I ended up picking up a mascara - the Volume Glamour Ultra Black - more on that at a later, more tested date.

And you know what I don't need more of, concealer...so I just thought I'll just pick up this Healthy Mix concealer...to add to my already ridiculous collection. I went for shade 51 as it was the lightest.

The consistency looks quite thick when first squeezed out, but honestly it blends in like a dream, I have used it for the past couple of days, blending it in with a Beauty Blender. 

And I absolutely frickin' love this concealer, it's a great match for my skin, it perfectly counteracts the dark circles under my eyes and as it isn't a light reflective concealer it also works incredibly well around the nose and hiding any pesky spots, that I seem to have an abundance of recently.

I know this term gets thrown around a lot - but a little really does go a long way, I massively over compensated the first time I tried it and ended up wasting a good blob of it. It lasts really well and this happens to me a lot with concealer, but this one really does not just gather and sit in any fine lines.

For one small tube, it really does a lot. I'm going to predict that this will last me quite a long time. 

I'm hooked!

How was your Monday? I hope you all had a lovely day :)

Toodles!

Best Friend

I completely failed at blogging this week, so I'll just carry on like nothing happened...

I have wanted to broach this subject for a while because of the way that this 'term' makes me feel.

I always feel like I don't have a 'best friend', the way that culture dictates, more often than not, the best friend will be the same sex. I know, I know, it's ludicrous in this day and age, but that is unfortunately how it is percieved.

Manic Monday #26
