Bourgois Healthy Mix Foundation

Something I have noticed with age is my need for a good foundation. It brings a tear to my eye when I remember that up until I was 26, I was going fresh faced and foundation free. These days however, rarely a day goes by where I feel flawless enough to not cheat a little.


After having used Mac's Face and Body Make Up for about a year I have started to feel like it simply doesn't give enough coverage. Don't get me wrong it's perfect for summer when you generally look your best, and more importantly, want to avoid 'cake face' but during these cold winter months it just isn't doing it for me.


After having a little nose around, I decided to try the Bourgois Healthy Mix Foundation (I had originally wanted to try the Healthy Mix Serum but the shop I was in only carried it in 3 shades, none of which matched my skin tone). I've only been wearing this foundation for 3 days but it has won me over already. It has a good consistency, nice colour match and offers a bit more coverage than Mac Face and Body. I have however noticed it hasn't gone on well around a few dry patches on my face, which leads me to believe I should have gone for the Healthy Mix Serum. All in all a great drug-store foundation and it has me even more eager to try the Healthy Mix Serum.

January Lust List

So it may well be nearing the end of January but never the less, here is January's Lust List...

• Revlon Lip Butters - They've been causing a stir across the pond and I'm itching to try them.
• OPI "Dutch Ya Just Love OPI?" from the Holland Collection. - Just yum!
• Hourglass Veil Primer - I rarely use primers but this one definitely needs purchasing.
• Rodial Glamtox Serum - My skin needs a Post-Christmas boost.

What's on your January Lust List?

Back With a Bag!

Now that the dust has firmly settled after a busy festive season, I am back with a bang and a bag! Bags and shoes are the most sensible things you can buy after overdoing it on the mince pies (I have yet to meet someone who has put weight on in the foot area!).


Truth be told I have been looking for a good excuse to splurge on a Mulberry bag, and when a friend offers a discount code how can you resist? The answer quite simply is... You can't! So without further a do here she is, my beautiful Red Onion Patent Bayswater

I'm really happy with it and I feel like the colour is dark enough to work in Winter, yet colourful enough to work in summer as well. Just need the purse to match now...
