The Glow

Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation in Macao // Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Amande // Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Caramel

SS15 has finally arrived and I obsessed with the 'natural glow complexion' trend. But I have oily spot prone skin. A massive negative when using luminous foundations. As the sebum can over a period of time slowly break down the formulation in foundations which can cause it to split, not set and oxides at a rapid rate....the oily skin life is hard! Due to this I always research foundations that are of interest to me. Request testers when shopping and swatch products, before I take the plunge and buy. 

The Nars All Day Luminous Foundation burst on to our scene with positive reviews and after swatching the product and allowing it to dry and oxidise over  period of hours I decided this was the one. 

My first impression on this foundation was it consistency and coverage, one pump goes along way. Now I do not have perfect skin I have hyper pigmentation when I have breakouts-although my complexion does come back after an intense skin routine I still need medium to full coverage when my skin is not looking its best.

I use my Real Techniques beauty blender to apply the foundation using a patting motion. The foundation is an exact match and highlights my cheek bones without effort. To minimise the glow in my T-zone I use my Bobbi Brown Sheer Pressed powder and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish and allow both products to set for a flawless finish.

Now I must state Nars Luminous Foundation is oil free and gives of an amazing full natural finish. I never have to re-apply although I always carry my BB pressed powder and Real Techniques buffing brush for when my skin starts to shine on its own.

Rays on my CK

Calvin Klein Bralette in Grey Heather £28.00 ASOS // Calvin Klein Short Briefs Grey Heather £23.00 ASOS

Hello, so todays blog is more then obvious.....its all about the Kleins. I bought these in February, but thought I'd wait until the summer to wear them or showcase them on the blog as Ferbruary weather is not the ideal.

With spring slowly coming out of season and the hot weather tainting or skins I thought today was the perfect day for a little sunbathing in the garden with the Mr in my CKs and thought why not blog about it. So here it is. All items were purchased from ASOS-links have been provided.

The quality and support for those who need it is quite exceptional as they are not wired. They are 100% cotton. I chose the boxer design for my briefs as personal preference although I wil be purchasing the other designs in the near future. For those who like comfort and aren't afraid to flaunt what you mumma gave you wether in-house or out and about (the bralette can be worn on its own) I would advice you purchase the set. And for those Kendall and Kylie Jenners out there-this must have should already be neatly tucked away in your draw!

The Tunic

Sleeveless Tuni Primark // All Accessories Michael Kors 

Since moving into my new flat I realised I had failed to take full advantage of my garden, hence this impromptious post. 

A couple of weeks ago I done a Primark haul and forgot I had purchased this amazing cream tunic for £10.00 at my local Primark. As the weather has warmed I decided it was show it my readers. Hopefully this is still available in many stores as it is an absolute bargain!

A few pointers before purchase. This tunic is see through-and should best be worn with an opaque dress underneath, my personal preference would be black. For those jet setters this would be perfect to wear over your swimwear ,accompanied with some wedges - ipanema is an amazing site for this or some sandals from Zara or Missguided.
