l'oreal true match foundation.

I bought this foundation a few weeks ago and have been using it daily so I felt like it was time to do a review. I actually purchased this after hearing Victoria from inthefrow talk about it on one of her videos, she always makes really good recommendations so I know it would be a good foundation, unfortunately I wasn't able to do a match test so I looked through the various different shades and decided to go for 'C3 Rose Beige' which was the closest to my skin tone.

I always apply my foundation by putting it on to the back of my hand and then using a brush, the first thing I noticed was that it came out very runny, I was a bit worried that this would mean it didn't apply as well and would look thin and patchy but once it goes on the skin it is really thick and gives great coverage. It adds a little bit of moisture too but it takes seconds to sink in so it looks natural, doesn't leave a shine and because it is so light you almost forget you have it on!

It is my main foundation at the moment and I love using it, I would highly recommend it but there are a lot of shades to choose from so if you can, get a match test done first!

bath time ft. simply supplements.

Having dry skin and hair I am always on the look out for exciting new things to try that can add some extra moisture, so when I was sent some oils from Simply Supplements this week I was very eager to try them out.

sorry!

I would like to just quickly apologise to any of my blog readers who are a bit confused at the moment. Blogger deleted all of my post pictures for some reason, I am in the process of reloading them but with work out has been difficult to find time to resource them all again. Hopefully all posts should be back to normal by tonight!

penguin bathtime.

Okay time for another one of my Lush baths and this time I went for the 'Christmas Penguin'. 

going short.

As some of you may have noticed over the past few weeks my hair has gotten significantly shorter! I have been debating for a while whether to get it cut into a bob or not and so for my Christmas meal I decided to go for a change, new colour and a cut! When I got to the salon though I was too chicken to do it so after having it dyed red I only got four inches taken off, which for me still felt like a huge difference at the time!

Looking in the mirror the other week though felt really unhappy with the length, it wasn't the long hair I used to have but wasn't noticeably short either, it was just a boring medium, so I rang my partners sister and decided to go for it. I went round and told her roughly how short I wanted it and within the hour I had a completely new look. I'm not going to lie it was so scary getting that much taken off, you'll see the difference in the pictures, but I absolutely love it now and am so happy I did it, I still love my long hair but this is such a statement look for me and I feel like it suits me well (even if other people don't)!

Some of the benefits have been that it's so much easier to wash now and uses much less product and I also feel more confident wearing it curly, which I never have before! 

Have any of you gone through big hair changes recently? Let me know!

lipsy wishlist.

As you may know from a recent post I was due to be starting my new career in Lipsy, which started today! Part of my promotion role for their clothes and new lines is to wear their clothes which means for the past couple of week I have been looking online for items to fill up my working wardrobe with, these are a few of my favourite items I have picked out.

beautiful bristol.

I am very lucky that one of my partners sisters is also one of my closest friends and someone I love to spend time with. After popping round the other day for a quick catch up we decided to plan a cheap day out in Bristol and find fun things to do for free (or nearly free!). There is so much to do in Bristol that costs money and I always forget about the other things you can do, and also that a day out is what you make here, so here is what we got up to.
