If you would like any in depth reviews of these items let me know in the comment below and I will get round to doing so :)

Wishlist: July

Hello everyone :-)

So my wish list has been building for some time now...

1. Sigma F80 Flat-top Kabuki Brush: I have wanted this brush for a while now but I can't seem to find this brush in the UK for a reasonable price but my trusty buffing brush from Real Techniques will do for now.

2. Mac Lipstick in Angel: As I'm sure you already know this is Kimmy K's fave nude lipstick and I love her style so I just can't resist will be purchasing this on pay day.

3. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation: Although I love my Mac F&B foundation I am always on the hunt for a new holy grail foundation and I have heard numerous rave reviews about this one. Plus I love a sheer and dewy finish- win win!

4. The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter: Now this actually hasn't reached stores yet but I spoke to a lovely lady in the body shop and she said that it is said to hit stores in August. I am a HUGE fan of body shop skincare, I think its the right quality for the right price :) and this cleansing butter will definitely be added to my collection once I can get my hands on it.

5. Nars Blush in Sin: I have always wanted to try a Nars blush and I find that bright pink colours don't suit my NC40 skin tone so I go for dark more unconventional colours hence why I would love to try this purple toned blush.

6. Mac MSF in Rio: This is part of the limited edition range and thought it would be perfect for summer!

7. Zara Studded Messenger bag: This bag is just stunning! and as I need a smaller bag for summer this is perfect hopefully I will be getting my hands on this.

What's on your wish list ladies?

Mac face and body foundation: Review

Hello ladies :) 

I do apologize for my absence recently with finishing off the uni year and what not I have not had time to blog lately.. However I am back and hoping to get into the swing of blogging on a regular basis :)

So today for you I have a review of Mac face and body foundation, I have been using this for a good 4 months now and I have to say this is my HOLY GRAIL foundation!!! However before I ramble on about how much I love the stuff lets talk details... 

Mac Face and Body foundation is a sheer/light coverage foundation however it can be built up to a medium coverage. There is a trick to getting the best coverage from this foundation, the more you work the foundation into your skin the more coverage you get. I tend to pour some on to my hand and mix it until the texture becomes more waxy then I dot it around my face and blend it in with my Real Techniques buffing brush, it evens out my skin tone and get ride of redness however my beauty spots still show through making my make up look very natural. 

This foundation is a water based foundation which therefore means its water resistant which I think is BRILL however it is extremely runny so be careful you don't drop it on yourself. It can be used on the face or body to cover up any imperfections and it has been said that this is a make up artist must have. The finish of this foundation is very glowy and radiant as though you are lit from within, its also a very natural finish on me. However because it is water based and gives a dewy finish it may not be suited to those with oily skin as it may just slide off. However I have normal to dry skin and I found the staying power to be up to 8 hours without powdering which for a dewy foundation I think is pretty darn good. 

I personally think this foundation is amazing I have not experienced any breakouts or reactions but do ask for a sample in case your skin does react badly to this foundation. I was matched to the shade C3 but because its such a sheer coverage I could of easily got away with buying C4. I bought the 120ml bottle for £26 which I think is a bloody bargain when compared to other mac foundations which cost the same for a standard 30ml size. I am no way near to even half way through my bottle yet even after 4 months, so I think that this foundation is one of my best beauty investments to date :) 

I would definitely recommend this foundation to anyone with normal to dry skin who is looking for a sheer/natural coverage, especially in this lovely weather you want something nice and light. However the only downside to this foundation for me is the look of the bottle, I really expected more from mac I wanted something I could proudly display on my vanity. Although this is easily overlooked as the product itself is amazing!!!

Pros:

• Light but buildable coverage 
• Dewy natural finish 
• Great value for money 
• Smell refreshing and soothing 
• Can be used on the body to cover up things such as razor spots etc 

Cons

• May not work for oily skin types
• Sticky after application
• A lot of blending need 
• The look of the bottle isn't very conventional with other high end foundations 

If you have tried this foundation what are your thoughts? 

What is your holy grail foundation?
