I'm 99% Sure I'm a Disney Princess

I love anything gimmicky and this t-shirt is exactly that! When I spotted this in Primark, I had to instantly put it into my bag and buy because it is adorable and the saying is the cutest thing ever! I have always loved Disney and every single princess story is my favourite, so buying this t-shirt was just necessary.  It is really big even though it is my size so I like to pair it with leggings and ballet pumps, for that laid back look. Easy and effortless, it is also great for travelling as you are in something simple and easy!

Nail Buff - Storing Nail Polish Online?

I love buying nail polishes and store them on a acrylic storage unit, this means that I can see that every shade I have side by side and also the brands of polishes that I own. One thing I struggle with is that when it comes to choosing one to wear, it is very hard and trying to see if colours are similar to something I want to wear is a even bigger task. Anyone else know of the struggle? Well, let me introduce to you Nail-Buff, changing the way we buy nail polishes one step at a time. 

Mexican Masterclass with Barburrito

Warning this may make you extremely hungry! The other week, I attended a Burrito Masterclass with the lovely people at Barburrito at their Boar Lane Restaurant, Leeds. Having only just found out that this exists on Boar Lane, I am now hooked to going as I only ever knew of the one on The Headrow. Anyway, the restaurant is lovely! Lots of little booths and long tables for friends and family to gather round and enjoy the delicious mexican goodies! I love Mexican Food and couldn't wait to get stuck in and amp up my knowledge on how to master the perfect burrito. 

When we (me and my brother) walked in, we were greeted by the lovely Steph from Barburrito Marketing Department and she told us all to get comfy, grab a drink and much on some nachos. Those things are so addictive, you have one and before you know it you have finished the entire bowl - oops. On the table was also a few little cards, with different facts on. Steph told us lots of information about Barburrito as a business, how they started, where you can find them and about the chain in general. 

Then came the food! Before we got into anything, we were allowed to try out different bits and pieces to see what fillings we liked in our burrito's and the tray came out with so many little dishes I was feeling very overwhelmed. We are vegetarian, so I have no idea what the meat things were but the veg stuff was DELICIOUS! In the rice you have the choice of brown rice or mint, then mild or spicy beans, mushrooms or peppers and onions, and then a range of salsa's starting from mild to extra spicy - which blows your head off. All of it was amazing and I couldn't get enough.

Then after the taste tests, we got taught how to wrap a burrito, the bit I was looking the most forward to because my fillings always and I mean always fall out of the bottom. It was pure genius how to wrap them, you fold both the right and left sides in, then in half from top to bottom, tap the wrap so all the ingredients go to the bottom and then don't fall out and then place it down flat again and fold the corners in to avoid leaks and then wrap!! How amazing is that! 

After the tasting and learning the masters of making a burrito - it was time to make. Now I was not prepared for this, but we actually got to go behind the counter and physically make the burrito. It was such an eye-opener to see behind the glass and really get stuck in, also scary because the staff were still serving normal customers and I was very slow compared to them. 

Firstly you put the wrap in the press for three seconds and then lift it and place it on the tinfoil, you then have to work your way down the counter to fill it up with your fillings starting with rice and the beans and fill it up in the middle and spread it out evenly. Then add your vegetables/meat choice and then the salsa, sour cream and guac my favourite part of the wrap because it makes the whole thing come together. 

And voilà! The finished product, wrapped, filled and in a basket, not going to lie it didn't last very long and pictures didn't happen because I wanted to finish it straight away.

I had an amazing night and am still reminiscing about the food I ate, and highly recommend any lovers of mexican food to pop into their local Barburrito and see what tickles your fancy because it is amazing.

L'Oreal Strikes AGAIN!

My love of L'Oreal just keeps on growing, I am currently swooning for True Match and Infallible and now there is a new foundation in town and I am loving it as well. The newest release from them is their Infallible Matte Foundation and to match a Mattifying Primer, today will be a double trouble review because they are indeed two products that need to be used, in my opinion together. 

Packaging

The first thing about this duo is that they are both in squeezy tubes with nozzles as applicators, traditionally foundations from the brand have pumps and are in glass bottles but this is totally new and different to anything I have seen before. The good thing is that at least you can see how much you are using it because of it being clear and you don't have to spend ages shaking around to try and get the last drops out of the pump. The bad thing, it goes everywhere - it is very hard to control the amount of product that comes out and I struggle! You can also see on the back of each one it tells you the texture and the coverage, that is such a good idea but sometimes not such a good one as brands think that their products are better than what they actually are...

Primer

In my eyes this is a silicone texture primer, feels very much like the Benefit Porefressional but is clear rather than coloured. It is also very wet and take a few minutes to sink into the sink, so I leave a gap between applying this and my foundation. I personally think that this primer only works with the L'Oreal primer to keep you matte all day, but that doesn't mean to say it doesn't work well with other foundations, because it does, just not as long lasting and doesn't turn a dewy foundation like True Match into a matte one. After sinking into the skin, my skin feels as smooth as hell - is that really weird??

Foundation

The star of the show and another one to add to my holy grail list, the foundation is everything you expect from L'Oreal and more if you ask me! It has a very thick consistency, which is scary but then again they claim it to be 'full coverage' so it isn't much of a surprise. The beauty of the foundation is that when you blend it into your skin it feels really light weight and as though there isn't anything on your face. In one layer it covers up most of the redness, spots and evens out my skin tone. But to get that heavy coverage which covers everything and anything you definitely need two even layers, don't be put off by the consistency because you actually need the tiniest little bit and it goes a long way. It is meant to be a matte foundation and I fully believe that because as you can see in the pictures nothing is looking dewy, but part of me still has to powder due to not trusting my out of control oil that creeps up during the day.

One thing is for sure that as well as using a primer, you do need to moisturise if your skin is dry - I found that around my nose and my hairline it was clinging to it and looked horrible but the second time after a rather large helping of coca butter it was much better, not perfect but better.

With only the foundation and primer on 

I cannot heavily fault this duo that much, because it is all good! If you happen to pop into Boots/Superdrug soon then keep any eye out for it and pick it up to try! The shades are very limited so do make sure you swatch, test and try them all out.
