Real Techniques Brushes: Update Collection

Real Technique brushes are ones that around the blogging world i see alot of and they are amazing quality. They are a good price and work so well :) Ive been using my other Real Technique brushes everyday and i love them so much!! I thought that i would add three brushes to my collection and ones ive been lusting after for awhile why not treat myself hey?

The powder brush is one that i thought i may use for abit more of a contour so i could work it into the skin alot more easily or for powder of course. I think it will give a more of a 'flawless' look.

The stippling was the main brush ive been wanting to buy. I will use this for cream blushes to stipple it lightly and evenly on my cheekbones to give a lovely bit of colour to them :) I think it will much better then using my fingers as i am a nightmare with cream blush!!

The shading brush was one that i just needed to finish the collection off. I find that i need lots of shading brushes on hand as i change my mind with colours quite quickly so its always handy to have a back up and i think this little brush will be perfect to get a lovely blend on a smokey eye.

Mini Storage Buys....

Having a small 'box' room is very hard to fit storage especially as my room is a weird shape too. I would love to have a dressing table like most girls but for now i have to create storage for my mini obsession (yeah right) of products and makeup. I went and had a little look into Wilkinsons the other day just a ponder around as i never really go in much to be honest and to my surprise i found the most useful items!!

The first one is infact a bathroom oval chrome effect caddy in silver. I was debating whether this would look right in a bedroom but i then decided i could use it as a place to use my most needed hair items and other items that i am using too. At a mere £2.00 it was brought. Its actually quite spacious then what i thought and i may go back and get another one for other bottled products that i want to just quickly grab. 

Next up is a storage piece that ive wanted for a little while but never found the right sizing. As i said before with my room being quite small its hard to find items that arent too overly big but has that much needed storage. This 2 drawer storage is perfect. Its alot bigger then what it looks. Ive actually brought 2 of these and arranged them with all of my go to items such as cleansers, face masks, nail bits and bobs and things that im trying out. Its 33cm x 20cm and its a great little find at £8.00 really pleased i brought them and as they are neutral they go well with my room decor too!!

I love this cute little pen pot or should i say make up brush pot. Its a great size and im using this again as my go to brushes. Easy to grab. I love the style of it so pretty too :) This Nostalgia Pen pot is at £2.50. 

My last item is a pretty glade candle in the scent 'relaxing zen'. I love the smell of it and i can not wait to light it and hope that it relaxed me during exam revision time. Its got a lovely flower detail on too!!

Hope you liked my very short post about my mini storage!! Next i will be looking at buying makeup storage and sorting it all out eeekkkk!!

How do you store your skincare bits and bobs?

Review: No 7 Stay Perfect Foundation

When i heard about the No7 match foundation test i was so happy. I always seem to have foundations that are darker then my skin and sometimes the shades on offer with the brands never are quite right. I went along to my local boots to get matched up to the perfect shade of foundation. Its a quick simple process that tests the two sides of your cheeks of course wearing no foundation previously. My shade match was 'cool ivory'. The staff were so helpful in the process of choosing the right foundation type and what i wanted. I opted for a more of a matte finish with a good medium - full coverage. 

I like to have a good coverage as i do have acne scars and i am never confident unless they are covered up. I normally go for a dewy finish with foundation but i thought i would experiment abit more. The packaging looks very luxurious in a glass bottle and a pump that is easy to get out the right amount of product needed. 

The Stay Perfect Foundation is a beautiful flawless finish that lasts all day and with SPF 15 included. Its a soft silky texture that has good moisture. I like that its too heavy or makes you look cakey. Its really blendable and buffs amazing into the skin so effortless. It feels so light on your face and the coverage lasts awhile. 

Ive really enjoyed using this foundation and have found that it hasnt broke me out like some foundations have so it definately has a big thumbs on from me. I would love to try out more from No7 as its a good all rounder. 

£14.00 - Boots
