Review: Garnier's BB Cream: Miracle Skin Perfecter

Garnier's MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTER: light

I am speechless. I think I have possible found a much cheaper alternative to my MAC FACE AND BODY (I did a review, search away!).

At $10, Garnier's BB Cream is serving me well. It a moisturiser with a tint, though does adapt the name "tinted moisturiser". So I am confused. 

I have fairly good skin, and I find find that this + any old concealer makes a great face, for days of running errands and working! I like to apply "proper" makeup for uni- don't know why. I enjoy it! It also has SPF15 which is so good! Love a bit of protection on the ol' face! lol I'm 18

Furthermore with the review! The product simply comes in three colours- LIGHT MEDIUM and DARK. For me, the light is perfect, but I am imagine that in-between skin tones may possibly have a hard trouble colour matching. A MAJOR FAULT IN THE PRODUCT!

At my local price line, testers were available, so this is a possible way to avoid disappointment by testing your skin first!

The actual product appears quite thick when first dispensed- but my gosh,it's so nice and sheer! Puuuurrrfect for someone seeking a sheer, easy, no maintenance quick face in the morning.

The product is also VERY glowey, which is delicious in my humble opion.

Overall a great product if you can find your colour, cheap and definitely worth the money. I think that one's enjoyment of the product will depend on the colour- it just so happens that the light suited me. I think I am kind of on the, dare I say, 'darker' side of pale HA, so that may be something to keep in mind!

new shoes + asos code!

Just thought i'd share my new pair of flatworms, creeper(ish) styled shoes that I have been searching for for ages and finally found and bought!

Picture Credit

They're the ASOS DINO Velvet Flatform Trainers. With free delivery from ASOS, a 10% discount code they were too good and cheap to pass up! I would say that the shoes run true to size, maybe even slightly slightly small. But the UK 8 fits me like a glove!

The flatform sole is noticeable swell, which is very pleasing.

The 10% ASOS code is BONUS10 at the checkout!

Make me laugh:

I hope that if you're having a shit day- this makes you giggle. Or even smile. I know I have.

lol.

FASHION: mixing metals.

the timeless dilemma, silver or gold jewellery. now is everything in between, blacks, rose gold.

to know what metals suit you best, compare metals by placing them next your face/body and seeing which one washes you out.

i say when mixing jewellery metals, do it tastefully. i think that someone can wear both sliver and gold rings, but don't go OTT.

Have fun with it. Layer. Go cray.

fashion reads for the bored fashion lover.

1) BELLA SUGAR is a hair, makeup, skincare and fashion site. It is oh so addictive on lazy sundays to pass hours on. Very simple how to's and beauty/fashion/hair DIY and secrets.

2) WHO WHAT WEAR DAILY is a celebrity fashion and trend site. great for looking at current fashion trend, looking up celebrities styles to emulate them. once again, very addictive. it is so easy to pass hours reading.

Top 5 MAC Lipsticks:

Okay.....top 5 (in my humble opinion) mac lipsticks.

1) Angel: I fucking love this colour. It is so delicious. Mine is absolutely destroyed and gross (melted in the heat, but heck, I still wear it anyway. Blue toned pink. Great for everyday. So easy to apply. With a bit of wear, it develops better with time. I feel like it also has a long lasting time.

2) Hue: A cult favourite, for a reason. I bought Angel first, and it's not that I don't love Angel, I LOVE ANGEL, but Hue is everything I wanted Angel to be when I bought it. I now wear the two for different things and love them the same. Hue is everything i've every wanted in a lipstick.

3) Russian Red: PERFECT best red. Blue toned (make teeth look whiter) and is just plain amazing. It is a matte finish.

4) Morange: An orange "amplified" lipstick. So bloody sick. Tends to run on the bottom lip BUT is okay if you line your bottom lip with a natural colour.

5) High Tea: It's a lustre sheer brownish neutral colour- so damn easy. Just like Hue and Angel, you don't even need a mirror to apply. My lips but better (ish).

YOUUU HOOOO another review: NARS Bronzing Powder Laguna ☮

NARS LAGUNA Bronzing Powder: ☮ 

- apologies about the absolute SHITE quality of the photos, done on my trusty iPhone!

Beautiful packaging GAH

Nar's LAGUNA lives up to the hype. It really is a luxurious, beautiful and pigmented product. 

The price for Australians (like fucking everything) IS OUTRAGEOUS, though through various other platforms (mainly the internet) you can definitely acquire it at a decent price. Mine was bought from the States. It's quite a matte powder, with VERY LITTLE SHIMMER which is both good (no one wants CRAZY glitter in bronzer) and flattering to have a small amount on YA cheeks.

It is a very pigmented product, though beware pale and lightened toned gals, too much product could give an orange-y effect.

Packaging is beautiful, as is every NARS product. I just can't help feeling luxurious when using it.

Swatch!

Also, i've put a swatch of the colour in!
