Music Picks of May

I know that, in this day and age, it's so easy to illegally download music to our iPods and iPhones. Yet I much prefer buying the songs on iTunes for 99p. I don't know why. The artwork looks nicer, its more official, the sound normally is of a better quality than if I was to use a converter. Anyway, this months music picks...

My favourite this month has to be Boston Square by Deaf Havana, it's just been released and I'm already hooked on it. Have a listen here, scroll down for more picks.

REN Skincare

Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel, Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, Clarity Restoring Mask, Clarifying Clay Cleanser 

I've wanted to try so much stuff from REN for so long. It seem as though everyone who I follow on Bloglovin' and on YouTube rave about certain products - especially the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask.  I've read so many reviews on each products and narrowed it down to four. Yet instead of buying all four in full size I thought I'd buy two (which I like to call the 'safe' purchases) and the other two as samples. Their website offers two free samples with every order which is great for trying new products without shelling out the full retail price. So what did I get?

The safe purchases. First I got the Clarity Restoring Mask as I heard Vivianna talk about it on her videos - it's meant clear the skin of all the shit that's clogged it up. I needed a new mask anyway so I thought it would be perfect to try this. I also got the Clarifying Clay Cleanser, from the same range, after an amazing review by Caroline Hirons who is the skincare Queen.





As for the samples, they are both products I really wanted to try: the Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel and the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask. The second one is the one I'm most excited to try as e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e has raved about this product. I'm glad however I got it as a sample before-hand as I'd be gutted if I hated it and just wasted nearly thirty quid on it.

So that's what I bought - shipping was free (another bonus) and only took around 3 days. I'd definitely recommend buying on the website as you can create your own page which gives you many discounts and bonuses. You can pick your favourite "all-time" product for which you'll get 10% off every time you purchase it (don't worry you can change it every 6 months!). I'll definitely be ordering more stuff. Expect reviews in the future of each product!

Have a good day, and I'll talk you in the new month!

Full Coverage Foundation Routine

Nars Powder Foundation #Fiji, Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder #Transparent, L'Oreal True Match Foundation #W3, Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch #2, MAC Studio Finish Concealer #NC20

These are the products I use for a full coverage base!

I start off with the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in oil free. This is the best primer I've used as it's free from silicone, it's really lightweight and refreshing. I then put on the L'Oreal True Match foundation - the shade above is W3 but it's a little too light for me right now. I normally use W6! I don't need full coverage concealer under my eyes so I just use the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch as it acts as a subtle highlighter as well. For imperfections and scars I use MAC Studio Sculpt concealer in NC20 which, again, is too light but the concealer itself is what I use. It's great full coverage and covers up practically everything. To set everything I normally use Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in transparent down the t-zone, yet if I need a little more coverage I use my NARS Powder Foundation which, I have to admit does feel a little heavy on the face but it works really well for setting everything and providing more coverage.

I always set everything with the Urban Decay All-Nighter (not pictured) which helps everything last all day!
