Lord & Berry - Foundation

For awhile now I've been thinking of buying myself a new foundation, but had the issue of not knowing which one to get. So like any normal human being I bought a foundation with absolutely no idea what it was like colour wise.
I am so glad I did though! When it arrived I was really happy, a little surprised since I thought the bottle was a little small. It's a tiny little bottle, but it is 50ml - more than my other foundations. So you get quite a lot of product for the £19.99 you pay. I have worn this almost everyday that I have slapped make-up on my face because I just love it that much!
This is a really good coverage foundation - I would say its a build-able medium coverage. It doesn't look cakey, in fact it looks really really natural on the skin.
I apply this with my Real Techniques buffing brush, squeeze a little on my face and blend away. This controls oil really well, and I don't think it would cling to any dry bits either - so pretty much a brilliant foundation for all skin types.

Have you tried any Lord & Berry products?

October Favourites

Well, there's another month gone. Only 61 days left of 2013. I'm going to have to start Christmas shopping soon, since there is only about 54 shopping days till Christmas day - that's not very long when you think about all the people you need to buy for: mum, brother, friends, cousins, grandparents. This month I've been trying out quite a few new products and been trying to use up a lot of what I have already - mostly ski care wise, I've gone through quite a few skin care things this month.
My last favourites video was about half an hour long, I didn't even notice how long it was until after I uploaded it - oops. I think from now on I'm going to try and keep my favourites to a maximum of 8 products to stop it being to long.
Skincare wise I've not really been loving anything overly much, so this months post will be prominently make-up, I think I'm going to throw a couple of random favourites in here as well. Since y'know its only kind for me to tell you about the food and fashion things I love.

Real Techniques Blush Brush

Oh geez, can someone tell me how I managed to apply blush before I had this brush? Oh wait thats right, I didn't really manage. This brush is amazing, if your wanting to buy a new brush please let it be this one. You will not regret it. I've not had a bad blush day with this yet, and if I do get slightly over excited with a blush I can easily blend it out with this. Perfect.

Lord and Berry Foundation

This is the only foundation that I've been using this month. And all I can say is WOW! This give me the coverage I'm looking for, whilst still giving me a natural finish. This doesn't specifically say that it is for oily skin, but I find it controls oil so well. It might cling a little to any dry patches, but a good buff into the skin and you should be good to go.

Seventeen Phowarr Paint

If you have any under eye problems, be they big or be they small - I totally recommend this to anyone wanting to look more awake in the mornings or just even brighten up their eyes a bit. Go, buy it, you won't regret it.

Soap and Glory One Heck Of a Blot

Best powder ever. Hands down. The Rimmel stay matte has nothing on this bad boy. Keeps you matte, doesn't look powdery or cakey. Absolute sheer blissful amazingness. My description isn't great, I know, but holey mother this powder is great, best £12 ever spent. Please, go out and buy and try and love it and never look back.

Lord and Berry Magic Brow

This is such a great match for my eyebrows, magic brow is really well named. It makes my brows - that never look good - look pretty damn amazing. Seriously blooming amazing. Lord and Berry isn't spoken of enough - they deserve to be talked and raved about so much more than they do!

Stila In The Light Palette

I love this palette, it is seriously amazing. There is one eye look I've been wearing quite a lot, by quite a lot I mean once a week when I go out with my friends on a night out. I'm trying to find a look that is pretty, simple and quick to do - so I can maybe wear a little eye makeup for university. I'll let you know how I get on.

What have you been loving this month?

Love Me Beauty Box

A couple of years ago I had bought myself a glossybox subscription, and had it for well over a year before cancelling it. I had wanted to get myself a new subscription to a beauty box for the longest time, and decided to go for Love Me Beauty. The idea of getting to pick what you got in your box before getting it really appealed to me, after having so many boxes that weren't all that good.

So the other day my box arrived, and I'm not sure if I'll be getting another one. I guess I really like the surprise of not knowing  what I'm getting in the boxes - the only surprise is how the products feel. Oh sigh. My box didn't come with a product guide, and I know Love Me Beauty is meant to have one since other peoples posts/ videos. So I'm not sure why I didn't get one. Oh well.

Anyhoo, the box itself is really quite eco friendly, by that I mean unlike some boxes the products are encased in the cardboard packaging and not in another box inside. Inside the box was some orange stuff - the name of it escapes me. And it was all wrapped in pink tissue with a big me sticker to keep it closed.

I think I might have edited this a little to much, look how bright it looks!

BalmBalm Indulgence Bath and Shower oil - I think I'm going to give this to my mum since she adores the smell of patchouli oil - one of the essential oils in the bottle.

Anatomicals help the paw hand cream - I love hand cream, and as it is getting into the colder months my little hands tend to get a little dry and tight feeling. So trying out a new hand cream is always something I will look forward to. I've also wanted to try something from Anatomicals for awhile, and now I get to try this!

Amie eye make-up remover - This smells kind of fresh and like cucumbers. Its not a scent that I particularly like, but I don't hate it either. I've got quite a few eye make-up removers, so I wasn't blown away getting this since I've been trying to use up the ones I have already. This is quite good at removing eye make -up, but it struggles slightly with removing mascara, so if you wear waterproof mascara this might not be best to remove that.

Weleda Nourishing Shampoo - I have crazy oily hair, so I probably won't use this since it is for normal hair. I'll probably end up giving this to my mum or my brother since they both have normal to dry hair, its sad that I wont be using this because the smell is blooming amazing - really fresh and almost citrusy. I might give it a try, but I'll be wary of using it on a day that I have classes, since I don't want to look like I have greasy hair.

Lord & Berry Smudgeproof eye liner - I love Lord & Berry, and these eye liners haven't disappointed. I did a little swatch of this the day it came and it would not budge from the back of my hand. I had to really scrub my hand to get it off. This seems like a brilliant little eye liner. One thing I'm a bit unsure about is does this twist up or do I need to sharpen it? It looks like I have to sharpen it, but y'know I just want to double check before I go and possibly ruin it.

Have you got Love Me Beauty before, or do you have another subscription you love?
