I don't tend to wear full coverage on my face because it always feels heavy except for this BB cream! It feels like I'm just wearing moisturiser which at the same time evens out my skin tone and covers blemishes. My skin feels flawless when I wear it. I'd recommend it for combination skin more than anything but there are different versions for dry and oily skin which I'm sure are just as good.

I LOVE this product so so much. Benefit is my favourite brand, everything they make is such high quality at reasonable prices and this is no exception. This is perfect if you feel like you want a glowy look across your cheekbones. It isn't too sparkly and comes out insane in a picture using a camera flash. Highly recommended!

This palette has the perfect mix of shimmer and mattes and all the neutral shades you will ever need. If you are looking for a cheaper version of the urban decay palette this is perfect. The only negative is that it doesn't come with an eyeshadow brush.

This is the one product that I use every day without fail. I've tried a couple of different eyebrow pencils and they were all quite harsh and broke easily. However, this gives natural results and lasts a while. It comes with a dark brown and light brown powder, wax to set your eyebrows and highlighter as well as a spoolie and a brush. 

I haven't posted in a while because I've just finished my mocks, which is a relief, but also terrifying how close I am to the real thing! To help us relax and settle back into things easier we had an Arts Day where we went to the V&A and then I went to see Matilda (for the 3rd time but I still loved it just as much as previously). The art in the V&A is incredible but it's not always my favourite. I mostly stayed in the main room which has so much light and beautiful renaissance sculptures and took LOADS of pictures. The architecture in the V&A overwhelms me every time because it is just so impressive and timeless. Matilda is an amazing show and if you haven't been I'd really recommend it... The children in it are insane, it's so impressive how good they are especially seeing as they're so young! 

Here is a quick selection of some pictures I took...

I thought I would share a little visit I took to the current exhibition at the Saatchi, which happens to be one of my favourite galleries. I always love the art exhibited there, the lighting is good and it's near my house so what could be better. This is also my first time testing out my new camera (Canon EOS 100D) which I mentioned in my last post if you want to check it out...

Anyway this is quite a short post but lots of pictures for you to look at!

I'm sure you already know but taking care of your skin is SO important and makes a massive difference to its appearance. I have been using this three step Clinique anti-blemish solution for probably almost 3 years now and I cannot express how well this works for me. The picture below shows the travel set which is exactly the same as the normal one just a smaller size which is extremely convenient. 

Before anything else I exfoliate my skin to instantly smooth the skin and get rid of any muck that has gotten on my face during the day and dry skin cells. First I use the cleansing foam (I usually do this in the shower), applying all over my face and then washing off. Next I put some of the clarifying lotion, which is a sort of tonic, onto a cotton pad and dab over my face gently. Lastly, I hydrate my skin with all over clearing treatment cream. 

On the back of the packaging it says to do this routine twice a day but I tend to just do it once and it seems to work really well for me. If you were looking for some good (and not too expensive) everyday treatments for your skin I definitely recommend these!

Hope this was helpful :)

Until next time

hi everyone!

this is my first post (duh!)

just gonna be talking about, cool places i've visited, photos i've taken, food i've eaten and just in general stuff i've done/seen!

hope you enjoy :)

So last weekend i went to the Saatchi gallery to see the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition and it was insane! I don't think I've ever taken so many pictures in one place. I'm going to put them below so you can get a feel of what it's like but you should definitely go if you get the chance. The Saatchi is one of my favourite museums ever, the artwork is always amazing and I love the layout and aesthetic of the building.  The only bad thing is about the exhibition is that there was quite a bit of a queue to get in but it's so worth it, and i kind of expected it. I also really wanted to go to the Louis Vuitton exhibition but I didn't get a chance because I didn't realise it was on for such a short period of time... If anyone has been please tell me what you think!

Even if fashion is not something you are particularly interested in, the exhibition is about more than that. While there was a room full of delicate Haute Couture gowns and an impressive diamond collection, you can also explore a French jardin, learn about the process of making Chanel perfume and take a peek inside an artistic recreation of the founder’s house herself. 

My favourite area was the sensory room, which allows visitors to touch and wander through ranges of different couture fabrics; from cream-coloured silks to the famous bouclé tweeds. Between the thousands of layers hanging from the ceilings are shadow projections of artisans pinning and sewing materials onto mannequins.

Throughout the journey you learn that Chanel is so much more than just a label and you find yourself wishing you could just try on some of the incredible dresses on display.

until next time
