NARS Sheer Glow Foundation & Samples

Hello beauties! I have a confession, I've been the most terrible foundation buyer, especially as a beauty blogger I should be better at this but I've never, ever had a truly fitting foundation. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to find the right colour and was content with the foundation I had, until one day when I saw my mum and she asked me why my face was a completely different colour to my neck. Ahh, no. I do not want to be one of those people. It's just so hard to find a fitting foundation, especially when looking in store and not wanting to end up with different colour streaks on your face!

7 Things That Have Changed

So, due to the fact I haven't posted in over half a year, I thought I'd explain and tell you 7 things that have changed in my life. I've been very very busy with college recently and have had to quit my job, I haven't had much time for posts although I miss it so much. I also won't have many more haul posts and such as I now don't have as much money. So apologies and I'll get started!

101 Things in 1001 Days!

Hey guyss! Okay so I've seen a few other bloggers do this and it looks like an amazing idea! One blogger (Curls and Comets) said she's achieved a lot from doing this list. This has persuaded me to try and complete 101 things in 1001 days. Tricky... My goals in life might change over these days and I might stop writing in this blog (I hope not!), I might even steer away from all things beauty!! Nah, that'll never happen! So without further ado, let me present my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days!

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Hey Beauts! I'm going to be reviewing Revlon's new release to the UK - Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm.

A while ago, Revlon brought out a lip tint in the shape of a chubby crayon. This was the 'Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain' that took the beauty world by storm. I only have one of these but I can say that it is quite sheer and sticky although it does last a while. Whereas these new balms are matte as it says in the name so they aren't sticky and they are also a balm! This means it has all the benefits of a long wearing lipstick with the added benefits of moisturizing and easy application with the chubby stick shape. 

The product comes in a plastic casing with a silver base to turn for more product. It leaves a buttery feel on your lips and doesn't feel thick or cakey. They all have a light peppermint smell and as I don't usually like scented lipsticks, I was quite skeptic. But seeing as though everyone in the USA had been raving about these I thought I might as well give them a try. Luckily the scent is very subtle and if it hadn't been pointed out to me I honestly wouldn't have noticed! The peppermint in the lipstick formula gives a slight plump to the lips as with all lip products that contain this. Unfortunately, I only have 3 shades, though I will be buying more! They are all quite similar in colour. I own the shades 205 - Elusive, 240 - Striking and 250 - Standout.

 From top to bottom the shades are: 250 - Standout, 240 - Striking and 205 - Elusive.
