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!

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.
