Things I Regret Buying

First things first, renting a flat/house...check! I have rented this adorable little flat with the better half and I'm practicality in love with it, cue scanning tumblr for inspo and youtubing home ware hauls for the next 28 days until my move in date! 

secondly, This isn't me bashing companies or products because usually the case is I love the company but this one product just didn't work for me, and what doesn't work for me might work for someone else! By no means is this me being a complete moody cow...Disclaimer done! 

Whenever I buy a product I search blogs for a true opinion of the product, yeah magazines are ok but sometimes you can't be sure whether it's a sponsorship or honest opinion! I'll normally check out a few blogs and then decide, but thankfully blogs like this have stopped me buying products that won't work well on my skin tone or skin type! So Thankyou blogger world! 

First up is the MAC Studio Fix Powder, this will not be a popular one I'm afraid but this powder did absolutely nothing for me, yes it set my make-up well and it did last for a long period of time, which essentially is what is it for! However I found it very cakey on this skin and I almost felt the need to moisturise extensively after using it, it just dried out my skin and I felt like my poor face was screaming for moisture.

Next up is the Benefit Poreffesional, a lot of people raved and raved about this and I'm yet to find a primer that I love but unfortunately I'm still searching! I must admit, I never actually purchased this alone, it was in one of their combination boxes. I tried it and it just dried out my skin completely, I have normal to dry skin so I really didn't expect my skin to react like it did but I got a couple of breakouts and I personally didn't like the finish it gave to my skin!

Another Benefit product, this is very hit and miss amongst bloggers! Hands up if you caved and bought it...yes I thought so!  it's the "They're Real Mascara" personally I didn't think it did much to my lashes in terms of length as I already have quite long lashes and the effort it takes to get it off, it felt like I was ripping my poor my lashes from my eyes! Not worth the agro but I could be just lazy!!!

Next up is the Got2B Rise and Shine Volume and shine hairspray...try saying that 3 times fast! I love the Got2B texture spritz and the heat protector spray so I was so gutted when I didn't like this! The shine part works wonders and it does hold my hair in place so I can't really complain because technically does what it says on the bottle, with the added bonus of rock solid, sticky hair! 

CK lipstick, yes I know it was like £2.00 but it's just not for me, the colour is beautiful and I'll give them that but it lasted about 5 minutes and it has started going bobbly which is just a bit off putting for me! This is just not a good product if I'm honest, everything else on this list is something I'd say try for yourself, or it might work differently with your skin type but I would hugely try and sway anyone away from purchasing this! 

Finally, the L'Oreal Nude Magique CC Cream, anti-fatigue! Now don't make no qualms, I used the CC cream for months and month but this was the Anti-dullness one and it was perfect for my skin and left a dewy finish which is exactly what I love in a skin product! So when that ran out I went and got a new one, thinking they differed every so slightly I picked the anti-fatigue up and it was heavy and matte which, ew. These products don't sit well on my skin whatsoever and I looked like a caked up barbie doll! 

Has anyone had any luck with these products? If so let me know! or has anyone else done a blog on products they regret buying?

The Met Ball 2015

I love love love writing these posts, they are by far my favourite thing to blog about because I love looking (in envy might I add) at all the gorg dresses and make-up and wishing that could be me on the red carpet, a girl can only dream. All the celebs looked beautiful and made such an effort but below are a few of my favourites...

My absolute woman crush everyday, the beaut RHW! Everything about Rosie is perfection in this picture. She wore a Champagne Atelier Versace Dress with a classy slit up the leg and beautifully detailed cut outs. Her hair is almost metro sexual, adding a touch of masculinity and the RHW signature red lip! She Took the crown in my opinion! Why am I not her? 

Reese Witherspoon is my spirit Animal so I couldn't not feature her in this Jason Wu Red Dress. The structure is my favourite thing about this dress, the frame around the chest makes it stand out. You can't go wrong in a LRD in my opinion and Reese always rocks it...And look at her legs! 

Kate Hudson looks like a golden goddess in this Michael Kors Ensemble, it slightly resembles her yellow dress in "how to lose a guy in 10 days" which, let's be honest, is goals. I love the high neck and she has the perfect bod to pull of this figure hugging, floor length gown. She kept is simple with limited accessories and a small, white clutch, in my opinion the styling was on point!  

Anne Hathaway turned heads with this Ralph Lauren hooded gown, personally it's not something I can pull off but I'm all for praising someone who can. She managed to make this possibly masculine ensemble feminine by keeping her make-up so elegant and natural and her hair simple and sleek. Plus, if it rains, she sorted! 

I love these 2, I love their family and if they could adopt me that would be great but just look at them! Need I say more? 

Candice Swanepoel made every girl jealous of her glowing skin on the red carpet, her fresh faced make-up and sleep up-do combined with flowers made her the talk of the ball! Her make-up is just stunning her, the subtle eyebrow and golden shadow make it almost effortless and I was certainly google-ing makeup tips and seeing her face! 

You might be surprised you didn't see Beyonce on here but I'm not going to lie, I hated it! I didn't like the cut-out, I thought it was very tacky and poorly done and the gems looked like something I wore when I was a tot, yeah it probably costs more than my house but I didn't like it! Opinions are opinions eh! 

What was your favourite outfit or look from that evening?

April Favourites

I've never done a monthly favourites blog before and they are one of my best blogs to stalk, I love to find out about new products or products I never bothered to invest in...but mainly because I'm a nosy cow like!

First up is my newest purchase, it's the NARS foreplay, cheek palette! It contains a matte coral and a matte pink blush along with a gold highlighter and the ever famous Orgasm blush! As a lifelong fan of NARS sin blush I was a little apprehensive when it came to trying something new cause let's face it, there cannot possibly be anything better! However, I'll bite my words and admit that Orgasm is a beauty blush, perfect for summertime makeup! This palette is essentially brilliant for summer makeup in fact, the gold highlight would look just brill with a Spanish tan and highlighted hair! And the fact it has a few blushes and a highlighter makes it perfect for travelling! 

Next up, it's the combination of Redd lipstick liner and So Chaud in matte! Both from MAC cosmetics, the lipstick is a red with coral undertones, wearing the Redd liner makes it look so sleek and classy! I did buy a coral/orange lip liner to go with So Chaud, the beauty of this lipstick is you can wear it with a red liner for the classic look or partner it with an orange liner for a coral feel! 

I'm not one for spider lashes or sticking a pair of falsies on every morn, ain't nobody got time fo' that! I bought Avon Big and Daring Volume Mascara a month back and it's become a staple, it makes my lashes look like fake ones, and let's face it...that's the dream right? 

Last but not least and yes I'm fully aware I'm late to the party on this one but better late than never, something I repeatedly tell my boyfriend when I'm finished getting ready! It's the Benefit Watts Up highlighter, I got this out of the Bronze of Champions set but j'adore! 

Anyone else loving anything this month? 

Let me know!
