Guest Post: MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural in "Give Me Sun"

Saturday, May 25, 2013

I love using this as a matte bronzer Texture...

RiRi Woo

RiRi Woo

Thursday, May 23, 2013

MAC RiRi Woo - £14 Being a huge fan of Rihanna, MAC, and matte red lips, I just knew that I had to get my hands on the new RiRi Woo lipstick from MAC. It's a classic matte red with slight blue undertones that has what MAC calls a 'retro matte' finish. This is however exactly the same as MACs existing shade, Ruby Woo, so you don't need to buy this if you already have that shade (unless...

Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Facial Moisturiser SPF8: This is a product I'm really excited to try. I've heard a lot about this brand recently, especially from gh0stparties, so I've been meaning to pop up to Space NK to try it for a while, and now I don't have to! This is a really nice sized sample, so i should be able to give it a good testing.  OPI Nail Laquer in Rosy Future...

JOUER REPLENISH AND PROTECT HYDRATING BRONZER: This was a product that I'd heard a lot about but never really got around to looking at properly until I watched a recent Essiebutton video. She was talking about how she likes Nars Laguna, but finds it too dark during the winter months. She said that she prefers this Jouer bronzer for the rest of the time as it's lighter and more natural on her paler skin....

So, if you didn't already know, I am studying Russian, Spanish and European Studies at the University of Bath in the UK.

Basically, as we all know, the future of GFC is unknown so I wanted to give you guys a variety of different ways to follow me (you know, virtually!) The iPhone means that I can communicate with you guys on the go a lot easier, and have access to different apps. So,...

NOTD: Topshop 'World's End'

Monday, May 6, 2013

TOPSHOP NAIL POLISH IN 'WORLD'S END' - £6.00 I bought this quite a while ago after watching one of Sam's (beautycrush) videos where she was wearing a similar colour to this (I believe it was called Celestial, also from Topshop). I just think it's such a lovely spring-y colour. I'm not much of a blue-wearer but this is just so bright and fun that I simply can't resist popping it on my...

L'oréal Elnett Heat Protectant Styling Spray in 'Waves': I love using this with my Remington Pearl Curling Wand. It keeps the curls in tact amazingly well but doesn't make your hair feel really crispy or hard. I think that this may now be my favourite hair spray/styling product. I don't think that the curls quite stay for 3 days like it says on the bottle, but I would say that some of my curls...

Magazine Goodies: MAY!

Saturday, May 4, 2013

Now you may not believe me but I actually rarely buy magazines. The only reason I will purchase one is to get a freebie with it!! The month of May has brought some amazing magazine goodies, and this is only a fraction of what is out there at the moment.  I decided to pick up this month's Marie Claire and Elle. Marie Claire came with a choice of 3 different Avon products; a lipstick...

NEON.

NEON.

Friday, May 3, 2013

For S/S 2013 Neon is a big trend. I've always been a big fan of bright nails, and there are some great colours out there from brands like Models Own, Nails Inc and my personal favourite, American Apparel. After experimenting with neon nails for a while, I've come up with the perfect formula to keep your neon brighter and on your nails for longer. So, what do you need?  1 - A good base...

Style Diary: The Flatforms

'HANNA' FLATFORMS - TOPSHOP (£32) After a year of waiting and several months of looking, I have finally found the perfect pair of black flatform sandals. Flatforms are definitely like marmite, and by that I mean, you either love them or hate them. I personally am a big fan (if you couldn't tell!) and have been searching for the perfect pair for the best part of a year. I nearly snagged...

Soap & Glory's 'Hair Turban'

Soap & Glory's 'Hair Turban'

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

Soap & Glory Hair Turban - £7.50  About a month ago now I asked on twitter what you guys thought about hair turbans and the response was overwhelmingly positive.  Due to its apparent popularity, the 'Hair Turban' by Soap & Glory has been out of stock in my local Boots for ages, so when I saw it the other week, I just had to get my hands on it. This is basically a mini towel...
