RAVE REVIEW! Technic brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector.

Technic brilliant touch highlighter and blemish corrector has very quickly become one of my must have products. As I was searching through my make up stash to find something to make me look more alive after a 'no sleep whatsoever kinda night' (ok, well I did have half an hour sleep...) I came across this magnificent product. I will say, I didn't hold out much hope for this product at first against the extremely dark circles under my eyes, but to my surprise it worked a treat!

As you can see this product is quite pink, which again didn't fill me with hope when I looked at it, but this product seems to reflect light and makes your face glow. Looking at this product, I have noticed it is slightly similar to Benefits High Beam, although this is definitely more of a concealer formula. I much prefer using this as an under eye concealer rather than on spots, I feel it draws attention to any blemishes. I do set this with a powder otherwise I have found on the occasional day that it will crease under my eye area but that doesn't change my love for this product at all. The only downfall to this product is that there's only one shade. Being relatively pale this works on my complexion, obviously this unfortunately will not suit darker skin tones.

Sorry for the rubbish photo's, new set up soon!

With flash.

It has a brush applicator and is super easy to use and blend. The packaging is pretty simple, the only problem is the packaging rubs off after a while but at such a cheap price, I can't complain!

But all in all this is one fab product that is only £2.99! I am aware that the shop 'body care' sells some technic products, but I'm not sure how widely available those shops are, but I have found an online shop that sells it!

Buy it here!

Thank you for reading my blog!

You can't have a better tomorrow, if you don't stop thinking about yesterday...

This is going to be an unusal post as far as my blog goes. Basically 'You can't have a better tomorrow, if you don't stop thinking about yesterday' is one of my recent favourite quotes and I thought I'd share it and tell you all why.
The first reason as to why I like this quote-  It makes sense. It's not too complex, it doesn't have a really deep meaning, it does what it say on the tin basically.
The second reason- I am quite a pessamist and I can't help it, it's just the way I'm made and the way I think, therefore this is the perfect quote for me.
Third reason- I think many more of us should try and live by this quote.

Recently I hit a rough patch in my life, being the summer holidays I didn't have too much to take my mind of anything that happened around me. During the holidays one of my family members ended up having quite major surgery, my boyfriend broke up with me and my exam results weren't as I hoped.

So basically I had a few weeks of serious rubbishness, me and my now ex split on our 3 month anniversary a week before my dad had surgery. And then a week after my dad's operation, came my exam results. Obviously I was gutted, when me and my ex split, it was a complete surprise, he just didn't feel the same way that I did, but we've decided that we can still be friends, Luckily my dad's operation went ok and he was out of hospital a week later. ( bearing in mind he'd already been there for about 5 weeks) but being the pessamist I am, nothing was looking very positive. When I picked up my exam results I knew what was coming- I had completely messed up my last year ( year 12) I didn't revise for my A/S exams, I barely turned up for some of my lessons and I couldn't concentrate when I did. I knew I'd messed up but still I hoped that it wouldn't be too bad.

But after an emotional couple of weeks, one day browsing on the internet i stumbled across this quote and it is really inspiring. Everytime I'm feeling down or sad about something, I remember that quote and try and carry on the rest of my day as normal. It definitely true- why live in the past? When you have the whole future to look forward to.

What's your favourite quote?

NYC all day long foundation.

Today's blogpost is going to be on the NYC all day long foundation. NYC claims that this is foundation lasts up to 14 hours. They also claim that this foundation controls shine providing a smooth matte effect all day long. I completely agree. This has definitely been a monthly favourite! This foundation comes in a fair amount of shades considering it is a drugstore foundation. I have it in the shade 737 classic ivory and it is a lovely match for my skin. Unfortunately I don't think that NYC cater for darker skins in this foundation. This foundation will cost you only £3.99 for 27.3ml, which is slightly smaller than most foundations but so is the price- so I can't complain. Which in my opinion is absolutely amazing, this is such a good product.

737- classic ivory.

The packaging isn't anything fancy, but it does the job and I like the fact it has a pump. It also comes with a clear lid which I've managed to misplace...

Taken with flash.

According to NYC this foundation is suitable for all skin types, but I do feel as though it is fairly drying therefore I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone with dry skin. This foundation does flashback a bit in photo's when using flash, I wouldn't wear this to an event where i'm going to have my photo taken alot. But all in all I love this foundation. There isn't much that I could say I dislike about it. I will most definitely be re-purchasing this foundation sometime in the future!
You can buy this foundation from superdrug.

Avobath Bath Bomb from Lush.

Avobath is one amazing bath bomb. After talking to a lovely member of staff from Lush, he told me about the Avobath bath bomb, and I was rather surprised that I hadn't tried this one before!

Avacado, Olive oil and Lemongrass.

Thought I'd add a photo of the bath bomb in the bath, hehe.

I adore the citrusy scent, the lemongrass really stands out. And although I prefer to take bath's during the evening, this is the perfect bath bomb for that wake me up feeling in the morning! It does release some sort of shimmer or very fine glitter once it has dissolved but it doesn't stick to the skin at all. The scent lingers on the skin, but not for as long as I would like, it disappears after a couple of hours, but I do think that the Avobath left my skin feeling quite soft. At £3.20 each the Avobath is one of Lush's more expenisve Bath bombs, but I would most definitely purchase this one again and would recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of a wake up in the morning!

You can buy Avobath in store or on the Lush website.

Have you tried the Avobath? What are your thoughts?

NOTD- Topshop- Hidden treasure.

As I perused the make up stand in Topshop, I came across this beauty and instantly fell in love!

I find duo-chrome nail polishes hard to like, they usually have a weird brown colour in most lighting, which I'm not a big fan of, but this nail polish is definitely an exception. Whatever light I look at this nail polish in, I still love it.
 and at £6 I felt that it is definitely worth the price tag even if it is on the higher end of drugstore nail polishes. 2 coats is easily enough, and it lasts days without chipping. I could easily go a week without having to re-apply this nail polish. This is definitely a hidden treasure!

Which is your favourite nail polish of the moment? Let me know in the comments!

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture cream review.

Today's post is going to be on The Body Shop's Vitamin E moisture cream. Basically having combination/oily skin I find it hard to find moisturisers that don't increase the oil on my face and don't break me out. But this is my miracle moisturiser! This moisturiser is recommended for all skin types.

As you can see, this has had plenty of love!

Not only does it keep my face soft, I feel as though it reduces the amount of oil my face produces. Aswell as that vitamin E is famous for helping skin cells renew, which is perfect for people with acne scarring such as my self. Although I haven't noticed a dramatic change in the way my acne scarring looks, I still love this moisturiser.

It has a relatively thin consistency and is slightly fragranced but as I said previously not enough to break me out, you get a decent amount of 50ml and a little definitely goes a long way.
It is £10 at The Body Shop but I feel as though it is definitely worth the money! I apply it every morning before my make up, I don't usually apply it before bed but only because I like to use something a little thicker.

As well as being a fabulous product The Body Shop doesn't test on animals. The packaging isn't amazing but that doesn't bother me to much because of the product inside.

So overall I'm pretty sure I will re-purchase this moisturiser, and I would recommend it to anyone! What's your favourite moisturiser?
