Starting My Christmas Wish List :)

This will probably keep growing but if I don't write these down somewhere I will forget..... I forget everything nowadays!!!

1. DKNY Pure (so yummy)



2. Ghost Deep Night (I used to wear this in England but have never seen in in the US)


3. Juicy Couture Couture (honestly I think it smells like Amarige by Givenchy but a younger version)


4. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Concealer (I haven't tried this yet but have the foundation and love it, so I assume it's nice as well)


5. Some nice black boots.... obviously Uggs are the "best" but too expensive so I think these Bear Paw ones would be just as nice


6. Boots No.7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum (I've had so many family members in England rave about this stuff but I have never tried it)


Thats about all I can think of right now...... haha like my list isn't big enough already!! But all of these products either smell amazing or seem really fabulous so they are on the list!!!

What is on your Christmas Wish List????

Happy Almost Thanksgiving :)

Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation Review!

I have been trying out new foundations lately seeing as the winter is coming and I'm getting paler, my other foundations were a little too dark! I went to the Mac store and got the Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC15...... It was $29.00.

Firstly I want to talk about the color.... while the NC15 in the Studio Fix Fluid was almost too dark for me, the Studio Sculpt was way too light. I looked like a vampire lol! The NC15 in the Studio Fix has a slightly more yellow tone, whereas the Studio Sculpt is more neutral. I like yellow.....

The foundation is a gel base, so it's a thicker consistency. I applied it with my Mac 183 brush, which was fine but after I had applied it I just wasn't in love. I didn't really like how it looked on my skin, you could see it in my pores and it was almost a little cakey looking without the amazing coverage :( I really wanted to love this foundation but I just don't. So needless to say, I will be taking it back to Mac tomorrow and my mission for a light yellow based foundation continues......

It's also super hard right now because since I've been pregnant, my skin has changed so much. I have been super oily my whole life but now my skin is starting to get dryer and so my usual foundation routine is not working as well as it used too. But it's like I'm in between, I'm not fully dry but I'm not oily, so it's very difficult. I have never had to worry about being dry before..... its so strange to me lol so I think maybe changing the type of foundation will help..

If anyone has any recommendations for a foundation that has a yellow tone, great shades for light skin and has fabulous coverage without looking nasty on my skin then please let me know!!!!

Thanks my Loves xxxxxx

Olive Oil..... Not Just For Cooking :)

I was talking to my sister the other day and she said she had been using baby oil to remove her make up. I wanted to try it out but didn't have any, so I was looking around my house for something similar and then I spotted my Olive Oil!!! I figured why not??? It's oil, it's natural and what do I have to lose?

I have been using it now for over a week and I'm in love! I use it 2x a day as a make up remover and as my moisturizer. To remove my make up, I just put a quarter size amount in my dry hands and start massaging it all over my face (including my eyes)..... massage for a minute or two and then with a cotton pad just remove all of the oil. After that I get a very warm, wet washcloth and hold it on my face for 20 seconds, rinse and then repeat until all of the make up and oil is off. Once everything is removed I get a pea size amount in my hands and massage it onto my face for a few minutes and I'm done :)

I have noticed a major difference in the softness of my skin, as well as less break outs and less blackheads and small bumps.... my face feels so smooth and less irritated. I'm hoping after a few months of using it, that I will really see a big difference. I was so surprised using as a moisturizer, seeing as I am oily..... I thought it would make me a MAJOR greaseball, but it's almost as if it has balanced my skin out and I'm not nearly as oily as I was before!! It's so strange but fabulous!

Anyway my Loves, I recommend trying this and I'm pretty sure everyone has it in their kitchen cupboards :)
