The Mac Prep + Prime

The Prime Example

Hi everyone! Being a Mac Obsessive, these are a few of the products I use on a daily basis and are actually a fundamental part of a makeup regime that assures me that my makeup will be left looking flawless. People always ask me why my skin is always glowing and fresh, it’s because before I start applying my makeup I use different primers and creams as a base coat for my skin. This gives it extra moisture and relives the dryness of the skin to ensure that the makeup will sit well and not rub off.

My two favourite primers are the Face Protection Visage and Skin Brightening Serum. These both work on dry skin more then oily skin which works fantastically on my skin cause I suffer from imperfections. The other one I use is Skin Brightening Serum that works well over the Face Protection Visage, this just leaves the face glowing and awake. The two combined gives me a soft base to then start applying foundations and concealers.

The lips: Everyone suffers with dry lips when applying a matte lipstick. Well I have brought the Prep + Prime for the lips, which is a lifesaver in all honestly, I carry this around with me everywhere. It’s such an amazing product and it really does give moisture to my lips.

Now you all know my secret to great looking makeup!  If these are not affordable products for you, there are plenty of cheaper primers that offer similar solutions.

The Chanel Freebies

Chanel Products

The Chanel freebies, every girl’s must haves and every girl’s necessities. Being a beauty addict I just had to indulge myself with as many free samples I could get my hands on, ITS CHANEL, why the hell not! I just love Chanel’s packaging, it’s so sleek and sophisticated I just had to get my hands on these. Being overly excited I had to try all the products as soon as I got them so I shall tell you my opinion on all these glamorous freebies.

The Hydra Beauty Cream – This is an intense hydration cream for the face, so you can apply this product before a Primer as a base coat and it will last you all day. This has left my face glowing and being radiant, I truly recommend this if shopping at Chanel.

Coco Mademoiselle, Fresh Body Cream – This is the exact scent of Chanel Chance fragrance, so if anyone is a fan of this perfume, this is the number one body cream to get. It is amazing! It’s so rich in scent and just delivers a radiant glow on the skin leaving it soft all day. As winter is here, this could be the perfect product for your hands. I have been using this product for my face and hands and it really does leave your skin silky smooth and radiant.

Perfection Lumiere, Long wear Flawless Fluid Makeup 40 Beige- A 15 hour long wear foundation, sadly this did not match my skin tone, it is way to dark for my skin and it is quite a thin coverage for the face. As I love my foundation to be thick with a lot of coverage, this foundation was not the one for me. This also goes for the Perfection Lumiere foundation, this was just not a match and not compatible with my skin. On the positive side it smells delicious , but it is not for me I’m afraid.  

There you have it! Go get yourself some Chanel or even get the free samples to try and experiment like me!

The Body Shop Obsession

The BodyShop Products

The Body Shop is one of my favourite places for natural perfumes and fragrances. They are just beautifully scented and packaged it will just make you want to buy everything in there.  

The Smoky Rose fragrance is a mysterious and intoxicated blend’s of tobacco and black smoke with a seductive floral-musk after smell. These will work well for a night scent as opposed to a daytime scent as its sweet and complimentary and will last the whole of the evening. I got these two bottles for £20.

The White Musk Rose is a very similar product but less mysterious and more of a daytime fragrance. Its rich with the rose scent and manipulated with the musk scent that brings out the fragrance even more. Also with this fragrance I got the shower gel and conditioner that came in the box set. These were also £20.

Amazing if your getting a christmas present for a loved one or if you just want to spoil ones self! 

The Essentials for my Handbag

Inside my HandBag Today

In every girls handbag they probably have this, maybe more and thousands of little extra things they won’t even use, but hey that’s women all over the world! We love to pack luxuries whether it’s a little car journey to the supermarket or a long train journey to London. Well that was me today; this is just half of what was in my handbag because what girl doesn’t need their lippy and a spray of perfume now and again?

Chanel Chance – Paranoid about smelling bad, I usually keep body spray or a lovely fragrance with me at all times.

Sleek Blusher & Mac Blusher Brush- An amazing blusher for a top up if it’s a windy day like today.

Mac Concealer- The best concealer ever and amazing for full coverage.

Mac Lipstick, Brave- Well if you have hot drinks all the time, you usually left with the lipstick rubbed off before you know it, this is a brilliant nude lipstick and I recommend it to any Mac lovers.

IPhone 4s charger- Well the obvious, if your phone dies!!

Purse- For all my beauty cards and debit cards along with spare change and notes.

Armani Glasses – I am now a contacts girl and I don’t usually wear my glasses unless I’m at work or at home, though I am always scared if I ever lose one, I have my glasses there in case.

The Monochrome Outfit

Outfit Of The Day

It’s every girls nightmare to plan an outfit for the day whether its for casual drinks or just to go shopping, I find it the most daunting part of my regime. The amount of times I change my mind and always going back to the original outfit is beyond me.  The outfit of the day features “The Monochrome” style which I am loving this season. These are all again from the high street and I’m certain everyone can get their hands on these little bargain buys.  Everything apart from the BarryM nail varnish was purchased at the incredibly cheap store “Primark” all less then £30.  

I am loving this years autumn /winter fashion and I am sure there is more delightful treats to come this Christmas!

Primark Black & Cream Ankle Strap Heels

Primark Bargain

Hello everyone! It is very rare for me not to get excited about sales; I mean its every girls dream to get such good bargains in major high street stores. Here I found these Primark ankle strap heels for only £6, which has sold out in nearly every branch. I found these  sexy strap heels in the sale section in my size (very rare), which I immediately, with no hesitation placed into my basket.

I fell in love with the colours as soon as I saw them. These delights will go with absolutely everything; I'm looking forward to wearing them and would definitely recommend the purchase if you stumble across it.
