I loveeeeee this eye palatte its perfect for daytime and is my go to at the momment. I think they either have this in the US or its an equivalent im not sure. It has gorgeous brown golden shades and really compliments brown eyes.  These are the eyeshadows used in my background pictuer.

2~ Mac rubenesque paintpot

I know this is highly raved and trust me it lives up to the hype! A beautiful golden colour that I like to use as a base for my eyeshadow. It makes them last longer and crease proof!

3~ mmm softlips :)

This has always been a staple in my makeup bag. I just can't get enough of the vanilla scent I will literally just apply it for that and then eat it yum yum :)

4~ Maybelline lash stilleto

By far the best drugstore mascara I have ever tried. It makes my lashes thick and sooo long. Thers only one other mascara that beats this and thats the ysl faux cils, but I really dont feel like splashing out on my student budget just yet.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in ' Punjab'

So about 8 months ago I walk into selfridges determined to buy this raved about foundation. I picked the colour myself because for some reason the mua's never seem to get it quite right on me.. Punjab was the closest match for my slighty tanned summer skin :) The reason i actually brought this was because my cousin wore it which resulted in a FLAWLESS complexion on her, however she has clear skin whereas mine is far from perfect.

THE COLOUR ~ The colour range of this foundation is I have to say amazing. My skin is extremely yellow, so yellow that only bobbi brown foundations have only ever been a perfect match, along with mac which unfortunately broke me out like crazzzzzzzy. 'Punjab medium 1' is purely yellow based ,which allows it to seamlessly blend into my skin resulting in a even complexion, which if paired which my mac prolong wear concealer becomes close to perfect.. just not quite there.

TEXTURE~   Its creamy and goes on easily, HOWEVER  for some reason on my skin so hard to blend. Iv tried it with a foundation brush and a mac 187. The best method I have found is to simply use my fingers which takes a good 15 mins of blending to get rid of the streaks, which in the morning tends to drive me a lil mad!

THE FINISH~ Just like the nars website promises it is a "satin finish" which provides the most beautiful luminosity which I adore. Makes your skin look hydrated and soft which for me is a big plus, as i have very dry skin.

I have now been using this foundation for nearly a year and am now on my second bottle. Althought its not HG for me its the only foundation that covers my blemishes , scarring , and uneven skin tone without looking cakey, It can also easily be built in thin layers to give the desired amount of coverage, from sheer to full, and it will still never look like you've slapped on 20 layers which to me is pretty amazing and worth the £29 price tag. Does anyone know if the pump is available in the uk yet?
