The Products | Nars Sheer Glow

After reading uncountable reviews and seeing this product crop up almost weekly on one blog or another, I had a good idea of what to expect from it - a best of both worlds kind of foundation, having the coverage of something like Armani Luminous silk, with the dewy, natural look of Chanel Vitalumier Aqua. Ticking every box when it comes to foundation must have qualities! I had my heart set on it and so when I got to the point last month when 

I felt almost 'stuck in a rut' with my current foundation routine, I decided that enough was enough. I took the plunge and splurged a mighty £31.00 on a pumpless bottle of the stuff! 

I do think the price is slightly cheeky considering the lack of pump. 

I don't feel like I've given it a thorough testing as of yet so I'm going to hold off on a full review until it's played a roll in my makeup bag for a good month, so watch this space for my thoughts on sheer glow and some more pictures of it in use! 

If you've read enough, and can't wait to give it ago pick it up from Space NK here!

A Personal Post | I Want To Be Friends

When creating my blog I had to decide whether I wanted to incorporate it within my already existing social life or whether I felt better keeping it private. I opted for the latter and set up a new twitter account which I linked to my blog/bloglovin etc. 

I know a lot of people will think that it was a really ridiculous idea and possibly accuse me of being fake because my 'blog' life is totally separated from my 'usual/old' life. However this really isn't the case. My blog and my new twitter account completely reflect my true personality and character and the real reason I decided to keep my blog separate was because I was worried about how people I know from school etc. may actually judge or criticise my blog. Again I'm sure people will take this the wrong way and say that I should be proud of my blog and not take any notice of those that want to judge or criticise and that is completely right. I am so proud of my blog and I grow to love blogging more and more every time I publish a new post, however the very sad truth is that I just didn't have the courage to overcome my insecurities and publish my blog all over my personal twitter account. 

Anyway, sob story over, I just wanted to say to all of you that I do have a twitter account and I'd be so grateful if you could head on over to it and give it a follow. I feel like twitter is by far the easiest way to keep in touch with fellow bloggers and followers and hardly any of my lovely blog followers actually follow me on twitter which makes it really hard to communicate with you guys! 

I don't want my blog to just be something other people can browse around and read, I want it to become a very social aspect of my life and would love nothing more than to be able to become closer with my followers and readers from the blogging world! Eventually I hope to actually shut down my personal twitter and incorporate it all onto this account, which is the one linked to my blog, however that's for the future! 

Thanks so much everyone!

The Review | Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

I'm slightly late jumping on the bandwagon with this one. Most of you will know Hourglass released their Ambient Lighting Powders last year and it turned out to be one of the biggest beauty launches of 2013.. however it has taken till now for me to revvy up a full review. 

The concept of these powders is amazing, with nothing else like them on the market. The idea is that once applied, they reflect light off of the skin in a much more flattering way. There are six shades within the collection and each one is designed to reflect light in a way that would naturally occur in certain situation. I have Diffused Light, a soft yellow shade, designed to imitate the way natural morning sunlight would reflect off of the skin. It's a very flattering shade which manages to highlight the face with no sign of shimmer, as well as reduce the appearance of redness. 

I purchased mine whey back in January and I haven't stopped using it since. It's perfect for setting any daytime make up, as well as for applying over the top of evening makeup to create a super glowy, fresh look.
