Foundation Review

Hi all,

Over the years, I have used several foundations. It's important for me to buy good quality makeup, as in my youth when I used the normal makeup range within Boots or Superdrug, I found that my skin lost its freshness and I was getting a lot of spots. Though some of those makeup ranges are pretty good, I prefer to buy expensive makeup. I don't care what I wear but my face has to look good. I have tried Clinique, Benefit, Estee Lauder, Georgio Armani, MAC and Nars, and maybe others which I can't recall. From all of these foundations, I would give Nars the award for the best foundation I have ever tried. It's the Sheer Matte one, an oil-free foundation which suited my skin perfectly. I had no skin problems using this and I would buy it again if i get the chance to go London, that is. This foundation did not look over the top-It gave the perfect coverage and made my skin look fresh too. Another makeup product I would recommend to anyone is Benefit's Hello Flawless, a cover-up, silky powder that glides on smoothly. It's good to get if you want a fine coverage without having to wear liquid foundation. Now, my aim is to try Iman's foundation next, who knows it may even beat Nars.

Belle D'opium

I've been wanting to write about this product in a while. It's the perfume by Yves Saint Laurent called Belle D'opium. I fell in love with it when I first tested it. It's one of the best perfumes I've ever smelt and I hope to own one very soon. The scent is seductively sweet and the bottle is rather nice, a purple and gold colour- giving that midnight look. It smells a little like 'Cinema', another past creation from Yves Saint Laurent. Can't wait to get hold of one. Have you tried it yet?

Low heels

Forget high heels or platforms because this season it's all about low heels, like kitten heels and slingbacks. And this trend is set to carry on in 2011. These low heels can be paired with knee-high socks in the winter or even stockings in the less colder months. Don't be afraid to go a few inches down, you will feel stylishly relaxed.

My latest bargain

Hello my lovely folks,

Sorry for the delay in blogging. I have been rather busy in the past few weeks and I've had family problems too but I promise you that I will never abandon my blog :)
Now, let me tell you about the product I purchased the other day and which was a bargain!
My sister told me about it, otherwise I would have never found out. It was a Christmas offer from M&S, where they were selling their 'open front ribbed oblong cardigan' for only £10. So I decided to head down to M&S to grab my very own. It was very hectic-those cardigans were selling like hot cakes! When it was my turn to be served, I told them my size and the colour I wanted. Black it was, but guess what... they were mostly sold out and only size 10 was left which my sister grabbed, fortunately or even unfortunately. Then I asked for a brown colour and yes, it was available. I was excited to try it on and as I did, I found it to be the perfect fitting. I rarely shop for clothes at M&S but I do find that their knitwear is rather nice, and not forgetting the brilliant quality. I'm glad to have purchased this, this season.
