THE BEST FOUNDATION EVER REVIEW, maybe?


Just thinking about writing this post makes me weirdly excited. It is rare that I find any product that I think is flawless, even my favourite beauty products have a few faults in my eyes but finally it has happened I have found the most perfect foundation, FACT.


I think I finally decided to spend the £31 in Space NK for this about October/November last year and although at the time it felt like a lot of money to spend on one thing, I don't regret it at all. This is my first high end foundation purchase so everything from the colour matching to actually handing over my card was very exciting for me! I am colour Santa Fe which I think is a perfect match for me but 2 of my housemates have also been colour matched and they are also both Santa Fe yet we are all completely different skin toned so I don't really know how that works??

I reserve Nars Sheer Glow for nights out and special occasions because I want to try and make this last as long as possible! I tend to use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply this and then my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge to further blend and give a really flawless finish. This does have a SPF but I have rarely ever seen a flashback on this which is great because I mostly wear it on picture taking occasions. 


Whilst writing this I have been trying really hard to try and find some sort of criticism of this but I really can't. I guess everyone will have their opinion of this and for some skin tones/types this may not be amazing but I love it. My only tiny tiny critique is that it comes without a pump, which means it can get a little messy but I don't really mind that too much. you are going to invest in a high end foundation and are unsure which one it should be then you should take note and get to Space NK quick!!

I know this was a very biased review of this foundation but I hope you found it at least a little useful. Have you tried this foundation? And what do you think of it?

April Lust List

As a student my budget can be very tight sometimes but we recently just received the last chunk of loan for the year so in my book that means shopping time!! I haven't actually bought too much yet but this is just a few of the bits that I can't wait to buy this month,




1. Zara Multicolour Effect Collar, £19.99- In the last couple of weeks I have been really wanting a bright summery statement necklace and when browsing through the Zara website this looked like the perfect one!

2. Nars Laguna Bronzer, £26- This is a famous bronzer in the beauty world and one that I so very desperately want. I really want a good high quality matte bronzer for contouring and although this is pricey I have been told it is worth the money. It is on ASOS so if you are a student you can get 10% student discount on this if you buy it through there.

3. H&M Bikini, £7.99 for bottoms and top £12.99- I am on a massive beach body diet ready for my holiday at the end of May and if I get in shape this bikini will be my little treat to myself. I think the pattern is really cute and the style will hopefully be quite flattering. I am also lusting over the models body (does that sound weird?) I want that flat stomach!!



1. Topshop Glow Stick in Spotlight, £10- I am quite a big fan of Topshop make up but I am yet to try any of those Glow Sticks, this beautiful peachy gold colour really caught my eye and I like that it is a cream product, I think they are perfect for spring/summer.

2. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, £49.50 for 30ml- I have smelt this countless times and always really liked the smell but the really really high price tag has always put me off. However I have decided to try and save my Boots points and hopefully in the near future have enough to buy this beauty!! (right now I have £11 worth so I am well on my way!)

3. Urban Decay De-slick Make Up Setting Spray, £20- The hotter weather means my skin will be starting to get oily and not very attractive so I am hoping the purchase of this setting spray will help my make up look lovely even in the hottest of weather. I mentioned in my last post that I have the Naked palettes now and I have really really loved using all of them so I am very keen to try some more Urban Decay products.

They are my top 6 lusts of the month. I will do a little update at the end of April and let you know how many of these things, if any, I end up treating myself too!! Come back Sunday where I will be having a little look through my rubbish and showing you what I have used up recently. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,
