Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I have been going through all my foundations and tinted moisturisers to work out if they still suit me and I have to say that I have found a few that were totally wrong for me, in both colour and for my skin type (Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder foundation cost me £55 and even though I was colour matched in store it ended up being way too dark for me and also not really suitable for my dry skin). Buying the wrong foundation can be costly, so I definitely need to be more careful going forward when I purchase this kind of product. One of the products that was suitable for my skin was the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint. This product is more like a hydrating tinted moisturiser which gives a blurring effect to the skin. It does state that it is a light to medium coverage, but I didn't try to build it up to medium coverage as I prefer a light coverage that just evens out my skin tone. This product comes in 25 shades and my shade is 5 - Light Medium with Warm Yellow Underton...

Fenty Beauty is one of my favourite beauty brands and one of my favourite products is the Diamond Bomb which gives a really pretty sparkly effect which you can use on your collar bone and shoulders or as an eyeshadow (its a bit too sparkly to use as a highlighter for me). With that in mind I couldn't resist picking up the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb Triple Drip All-Over Diamond Veil Palette. This is a superfine 3D sparkle for the face and body. There are 3 shades, Fu$$y, Fenty Glow & Hot Chocolit (these shades match the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizers which are another of my favourite products from this brand). Fussy is a pink sparkle, Fenty Glow is a gold sparkle and Hot Chocolit is a bronze sparkle.  These are definitely brilliant for adding a sparkly finish to any eye look. The Diamond Bomb Palette costs £34 and you can buy it at Boots or Harvey Nichols (there are more stockists, but these are the places that I normally buy Fenty Beauty from). Each...

I have a confession to make, I am rubbish at applying makeup even though I have tons of it.  WTF.  I nearly always go for a natural look when I wear makeup but that is because if I did anything more obvious I would probably end up looking like a clown.  That does not stop me buying more make up as it is just an addiction, I love all the pretty packaging and lovely colours. Anyway recently I have been attending beauty events in the likes of Debenhams, Harvey Nichols etc some of which are to watch demos of make up being applied such as a beauty event at Debenhams where brands such as  Urban Decay did a make over and more recently at a Harvey Nichols Fenty Beauty  masterclass event where one of the Fenty Beauty UK Ambassadors did a demo which showcased Fenty Beauty products and showed how easy they were to apply.  Yes it is a way to encourage sales and yes I did buy some items, but what I took from each event is that you don't have to go overboard with y...
