First Impressions - Rimmel Foundation

Hi Guys,

So yesterday when i went shopping i picked up some new foundation as iv'e been using the same one for years now and fancied a change. I didn't read any reviews about any foundations before i bought it but did after. I have oily-combination skin and every person said "i wouldn't recommend this if you have oily skin" ha ha. Thanks people!?!... But that's the problem with the drugstore makeup you don't have anybody there to offer advice etc. Anyway it's too late now and i might as well give it ago, if it really doesn't go right i will give it to a friend ha ha.

So the foundation i got was the Rimmel, Wake Me Up. It says it has a light moisturizing texture that applies smoothly and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable all day. It gives an instant flawless, natural looking finish.

So first of all i do like the bottle it self and i like that it's glass instead of just plain old plastic and i like the orange colored top and that it has a pump. I used it this morning and the consistency is real good as my other was runny and this one isn't it has light- medium coverage but is build able. I love how it looks on my skin and the dewy radiant look I have. But because I do have oily skin I had to top it up with powder and blotching strips. I wouldn't wear this on a night out or a busy day but if im just nipping out somewhere then I definitely would. So I do love this foundation but it definitely is better for people with non oily skin.

Thanks for reading guys and i will speak to you tomorrow.

Throwback Thursday

Hi Guys,

So today it's thursday which means its time to do a throwback. I am going to try and switch these up so there not just pictures of the same baby just in a different outfit haha.

So today I have done a comparison of me and my mum. In the photo we are the same age which is 19. But obviously im not going to look all like my mum as I do have some of my dads featured too. I think its so weird looking back at photos like this and thinking wow my mum was my age once too ha ha. And one day ill have a daughter that will probably think the same.

Hope you enjoyed this throwback and I will speak to you tomorrow.

Boyfriend Haul

Hi Guys,

So its mine & David's (my boyfriend) anniversary coming up next week and obviously that means presents and celebrating our first year together. And today i went shopping in town with my friend for his presents, now shopping for guys can be hard but if you know what they are into or what they like then its quite easy ha ha. I went with what he needed more than what he wanted because you appreciate it more. I am romantic not too romantic but i'm a cancer so i'm emotional and i love this guy and i want him to know that i can buy him nice presents ha ha, no i'm joking.

So here's a picture and the price and where i got the items from :)

 So this is a polo shirt that my boyfriend had his eye on for a while and really wanted. Soooo i thought it would be a nice surprise for him to have it as a present. It is from jack and jones which is his favorite shop so that's a bonus too and it was £22 which i thought wasn't bad at all. Especially because men's clothing can be quite expensive sometimes.

These three tops are from Next and he loves these and has had them before but he ruined them by decorating in them so again i thought why not!?! They were on offer 3 for £15 which isn't bad at all. I did ask him about these because he is quite picky with colors for t-shirts so he does know he has them.

Next i got him a money pot along with the one i bought myself just for something fun for us both to do and when there full we can put out money together and put it towards something nice like a holiday, our own place... you get the idea. This was from amazon and it was £9.99 i know they sell them in Clinton cards but they have so much choice online and its the same or cheaper price anyway :)

This is a DVD of our year together (told you i was romantic) i just thought you can buy anybody clothes take them out for a fancy meal but i doesn't really show them how much you mean to them. So i thought if i did something that took time to do and i started it from scratch it would mean so much more than a couple of t-shirts etc. But before i make you feel any more sick i will stop on this one ha ha. P.s if you would like a DIY craft video on how i made this DVD then please comment below and i will do one :)

Then i got the basics, wrapping paper, card etc... I was going to get the moon pig cards that you can get but i thought that with the DVD is a bit 'OTT' for him anyway ha ha. This was all from the Card factory and all cost under £5.

Anyway i hope you liked my 'boyfriend haul' and if it helped you out with ideas for you boyfriend let me know or if you have any tips etc then comment i love reading them. Have a nice day guys and i will see you tomorrow.

What I was up to this weekend...

Hi guys,

So this weekend I went down south to visit my boyfriend and his family for a birthday to sort his house and to see each other, obviously ha ha. This time on the train wasn't bad at all thank goodness! It takes so long to get down there that we decided that we needed to go for a drink, just one at first. Buuuuut if your boyfriends are anything like mine one quickly turns into a couple more and if your dumb like me you will try to keep up ha ha. How silly was I!! So that's why I couldn't blog the Saturday because I felt a little ill!! I blame the other half ha ha.

On the Saturday we went down to Bournemouth for the Air festival and it was such a nice day and I have never seen a seaside resort so full in my life!! I love places like that it makes me feel so happy. We missed the red arrows which was disappointing because the traffic was so bad. But we did get see them from the traffic queue ha ha.

Then on the the Sunday we went to my boyfriends nephews 1st birthday party! It was so cute and he enjoyed it so much but then so would I with that amount of new toys ha ha. But we had to rush off back to the train station for me after so I was soooo tired when I got home. I'm not complaining about a busy weekend though!

Thanks for reading and I will see you tomorrow :)
