New Look haul & Laura Geller

Hey everyone! Today's blog post will be split into two parts. First we have a little mini review of my thoughts on the Laura Geller set I talked about in the last post.

*The foundation is rather nice. It evens out the complexion nicely and really does brighten the appearence of your skin. The porcelin shade actually suits my skintone! I find it almost impossible to find a foundation that is light enough for me, but this one if perfect! The only downside that I can find is if you have any spots or zits, it will not cover them that well, which is a shame, but it to be expected from a powder foundation, I suppose.

*The lipstick is beautiful. So creamy and the colour is a beautiful nude. Perfect.

*The blush, highlight and bronzer trio is delightful. It's so easy to sweet a brush over all three colours and do all three at the same time. It looks brilliant on.

*The eyeshadow duo is also lovely. I prefer the lighter shade to the darker one, but both colours are really wearable and I'm looking forward to applying them both wet and dry.

*The mascara is a bit of a disappointment, to be honest. It does very little to lashes apart from colours them. It doesn't fan the lashes out or make them look longer. They're just... there. It does, however, tint your eyelashes black, which is a nice little selling point.

So there we go!

Secondly I took a journey into New Look today and I picked up a couple of things.


I bought this really cute little Leopard bow headband. I always buy these things but for some reason never wear them that often, but I think I'll be wearing this one :)


I also got this really cute leopard print hiar grip because my hair is finally long enough to put it in my hair.


I saw this star print top and I just fell in love with it straiight away. It's a silky feel top that flares out at the bottom and goes down a little at the back. Pretty!


I also got these deep red jeans. I just fancied something a little different to my black or blue jeans and these just looked like a cute colour. They're a little long for me, but that can soon be sorted out with some sewing skills haha.


I'm also currently loving this nail varnish. It's Hard Rock by Rimmel. Love it!

Favourite 5 items of the moment

1. MAC Naked Honey Skin Salve

I've only had this for one day, but I am in love with it already. I used it on my lips last night and this morning they felt so soft and crackfree. My lips are always so dry and cracked but this helps so much. I used it on my elbows as well and they're super soft too. This product is worth the hype!

2. Illamasqua Phalic Nail Varnish

I'm in love with this shade. It's such a pretty navy blue colour with blue glitter. It's divine. I love it, but probably not as much as Muse by Illamasqua.

3. Rimmel The MAX Volume Flash mascara

I am always quite doubtful of mascaras and their claims, but this mascara is really quite fantastic. It doesn't clump and the impact really is quite amazing.

4. Maybelline Watershine Lip Gloss

I am currently loving these lipglosses. The colour pay off isn't always that great but the shine they give is fantastic. They add a great finishing touch to any look. They are a bargain at £3.91 from Boots!

5. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Shell

I am in love with this foundation! I've never had such a flawless finish before. The colour matches my skintone so well and it covers any inperfections. I don't even need to use concealer with this foundation it's that good! It's RRP is quite expensive, but well worth the price tag. I love it!
