Nars Sheer Glow

"Aaaaammmm your skin is glowing... Why is your skin glowing?"

Good! I count that as a win.  In fact whenever my self-declared grease monkey boyfriend notices any detail of my makeup I count it as a win. The "glowing" comment was particularly good considering it was my first time wearing Nars Sheer Glow foundation. It does exactly as it says on the tin apparently!

I've heard so many rave reviews about this foundation. It has a massive cult following so I had high expectations leaving Brown Thomas with my new buy.

I've never bought anything from Nars before, it was always a brand that slipped under the radar for me. But I have to say, I've been converted! The whole experience was a positive one! The girls at the counter weren't the usually "snotty" makeup girls who you can tell are judging your makeup.. I don't want to make this another "bad MAC experience" post (if you haven't already gone down that rabbit hole on YouTube, do! It's a mass a snobby entertainment!) but I've more or less completely stopped buying from the brand.

At the Nars counter the girls there were helpful and didn't try to sell me a foundation colour that was overly dark. Always a good thing! The coverage is medium but buildable. For the first time in years, apply it with my grubby fingers!! Less wastage and the application is even. I only have to use one pump, versus 2-3 when using a brush or beauty blender for the same level of coverage.

I've been bitten by the Nars bug! Expect more posts along these lines

TV Choice Awards 2016 Best Dressed

The 2016 TV Choice Awards were last night and here's a quick round up of who I think the best dressed are!

Holly Willoughby

I'm going to start with the best.  Goals. GOALS!!! This woman can do no wrong!!! She is perfection. I'm not even going to say anything. I'm just going to stare at the picture in awe and wish I looked like that.

Catherine Tyldesley

Simple, black, elegant. I think she could have done with a necklace or maybe a belt, but she's definitely on the best dress list!

Katie Price

Not a fan of the new-new-new boobs, but this dress is fab! I love a backless dress and the think the toned down makeup sets it all off perfectly!

Fearne CottonFearne can do no wrong. I love this! I love everything about it and I'm not even lying! Look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't dress like a ballerina princess if you had the opportunity!! See! You can't! She's just missing her wand and tiara. I'm pretty sure I have ones she can borrow....

Faye Brooks
When will this trend end?? When will people realise that non-colour silk and a thigh high slit on a tight skirt isn't flattering on any skin tone or any shape? If you're reading this and think you can pull it off; you can't. I don't think Faye looks bad, she's on trend, and a very, very beautiful woman! It's just one of those trends we're all going to look back on in tens years time and cringe.

Thank you all for reading!
