The Perfect Everyday Foundation

For me, it doesn't happen very often but don't you just love it when you fall in love with a foundation? The feeling of being able to apply a product in the morning and knowing that when you go home and look in the mirror, it will still be in tact. Buying a new foundation is my pet peeve, can never seem to find the ideal shade, perfect formula or even a brand that I like. In the past few years, I've loved a lot of foundations, majority of which are drugstore. This years aim is to try more high end, I have my eyes on Estee Lauder, YSL and Chanel but for now it is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear. It was briefly mentioned in the beauty edit post in collaboration with John Lewis, but it needed its own post. 

Blog Photography Without A DSLR

Over the past few months, I have started to put much more of an effort into my photo's, both here and on instagram. Not in any way saying that I'm a pro or the best, there are hundreds of other people out there who have better photo's than I do. But I have upped my game and it is all without an expensive camera. To this day, four years of blogging, not once have I used a camera for photo's (apart from the past few fashion posts, but someone else has taken them for me). Believe it or not, everything is taken on my phone. 

Spring Skincare with Caudalíe

Testing out new skincare is something that I am loving at the moment, my skin is getting a treat nearly every month and to say that it is usually prone to breakouts, switching it up every so often has helped it in a way. On rotation at the moment, is the new Vine[Activ] range from Caudalíe, these along with some the skincare bits that will be featured soon have changed my skin in ways that can only be imagined.
This range is aimed at those with hectic lifestyles, always on the go and your skin is going to be the one that suffers. All the products help to fight signs of ageing, which isn't a big issue for me at the moment but it is also glow activating. Having an entire range from one brand has been really lovely to use, and I will be using these for a long time! 

Weekend Pamper

Who doesn't love a good old pamper evening? Or even day, whatever you prefer! Thursday marked my last day at university for a month, before going out on placement and there was no better way to celebrate than having some me time and indulging in some beauty treatments. We all deserve some TLC from time to time and don't forget that. My focus this week is on three things, skin, lips and nails!!

Running Late Routine

Everyday, I see people who have spent a reasonable amount of time in the morning putting themselves together. Whether it be perfecting the winged liner, wearing the knee length boots with a thousand and one laces or creating that super sleek straight hair. 

 If you’re one of these people, then hats off to you because where on earth do you find the time? 

I'm definitely a morning person over night owl but in the sense of ... 

1. Hitting the snooze button a thousand times over

2. Using simple and multi-purpose products to make me look alive

3. Having to eat breakfast on the way to university or work

The Current Favourites

Really had no idea what to call this post, it isn't really a monthly favourites as they don't seem to be a thing on here anymore/it's not the end of the month. So I guess more of a currently loving at this moment in time post?! Hopefully, I can come up with a much better title than that...they are by far the hardest part about writing a blog post - anyone else agree? I've been loving so many products lately and just had to shout about them!
