May Lust List

Well aren't I being all inconsistent with the Lust List's?!
Thing is, I've been so busy I haven't had time to garner enough interest in anything to lust after it, as it were.
In fact the things I have been mostly lusting after recently have been kind of basic, or even repurchases. But I thought I would list them all the same just in case you were wondering... I'm sure you weren't!

• BB Cream - Any! Would you believe I have yet to try one and after my best friend's rave review on the No. 17 BB Cream, I'm tempted to give it a whirl!
• Mac Mineralise Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle - An oldie but a goodie!
• Mac Strobe Cream - One of my best friends reminded me about this classic the other day. I used to use it religiously, then one day it ran out and I inexplicably never repurchased. (Slap on the wrist for me!)
• Essie's Mint Candy Apple - I somehow managed to have this leak everywhere and the lid was stuck shut. I've since managed to prise it open but it's sadly gone gloopy and after seeing beautiful mint green nails everywhere, I'm in mourning.
• Mac Russian Red - I've decided this is the perfect Red for me since going a little darker with my hair again.

I know that was more of a Mac list, but my lovely friend got me vouchers for my Birthday so I must have subconsciously been drawn to Mac.

I still have to go over all my lovely Birthday Beauty goodies, which I am making a promise to myself to get done.

Take care lovelies :)

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.
