Im back with a review of MAC's F&B foundation, this one i have been dying to try out for ages and i finally got my hands on it a few weeks back. Im the shade C3 , you get 120 ml for 26 pound 50 ( i cant use my pound sign because its broke ! :( ). So this is way more product than your average foundation, so you can sort of justify the price. The packaging i really like, its like a little chubby bottle with a squeezy dispenser so you can control nicely how much product you want.
So what drove me to want this foundation? well i always hear make-up artists rave about it, and i was looking for a light coverage foundation for summer. Its a water based foundation and i find that when i apply it to my skin i have to work quite quick with it, as it dries fast.
For me this is great for a hot humid day when i dont want a face full of make-up, it nicely evens out my skin and gives me a radiant healthy look. I apply two layers because it just gives me that right amount of coverage. I will say if you are a full coverage girl you wont like this its very light and freckles are still visible. MAC do say that this foundation is good for ALL skin types, and i do also think this has a really good staying power.
Overall this gets a thumbs up from me, has anyone else tried this foundation?
What are your thoughts? :)
With the foundation on.

Topshop Lipstick | All about me
Iv been wanting to do this post for absolute ages! well just because i think all you ladies need to know about this beaut of a lipstick.
Its a Topshop Lipstick in 'All about me', i bought it in march and have been non stop wearing it. Its a bright fuchsia pink (the photos arnt giving it justice) with blue undertones.
I have been mostly wearing this with really minimal eye make-up and then just wack this on,i dont know how but it makes you look flawless, trust me!
The staying power i think is really good, it leaves a stain on your lips so you can tell how good it stays. I cant remember exactly the price but its defiantly under a tenner.

Lauren's Way Self Tanning Bronzing Lotion
Hi guys I havent posted in a while! So i thought id do a review on the laurens way tanning lotion. Being a fake tan addict, to be honest i havent used many fake tans just the trusty St Moriz, which i still think is good for the price, but i wanted to try something different and didnt mind paying a little bit more.
I dont really know how i came across Laurens Way, I knew the women behind it all was of the reality show 'The Only Way Is Essex' which i followed on twitter and all her followers were banging on about how good her tanning lotion was, and the pice wasnt bad either so i bought mine from Ebay for £15.95. (As it was sold out on her website).
So the packaging isnt amazing, its just a white plastic bottle with a sticker round it. It has a handy pump which has a lock on it , this is great for when im travelling so i can just pop it in my bag without worrying it will spill everywhere.
This is a lotion fake tan, and iv always just used a mouse but i defiantly prefer the lotion now! the consistency is really nice and blends easily, the great thing about this is it dosent have that horrible smell other fake tans have (like St Moriz). It does have a smell, it smells faintly of watermelon but when you put it on the smell of this tan soon disappears.
Here are pictures BEFORE and AFTER
This is with one coat
As you can tell there is a big difference and thats only with one coat. I did take the after picture when the tan was NOT washed off because i feel the tan is at its best then, because when i have showered it tends to just wash off ( not completely) but not as dark as i was when i first applied. If you do keep on top of it and tan say three times the tan does stay on for about 5 days which is much more longer than my St Moriz.
Overall the tan does give a brown/olive tan, its not orange and dosent smell nasty. I would re purchase in the future, but i still am on the hunt for the perfect fake tan!
Has anyone got any recommendations of ones i need to try!?
