Benifit foundations



 This has been such a long awaited blog post. I had it saved as a draft and completely forgot about it!!I first received this foundation as a gift at Christmas as part of the 'How to look the best at everything' gift set. It was only a small sample size but I knew from only using it a few times that this was going to be my next foundation splurge!

When I am looking for an autumn/winter foundation I want a medium coverage to cover my redness but that does not look 'cakey', it should not make my already oily skin shiny, and it's an added bonus if it contains spf! (Just as a heads up I bought the full size of this foundation way back in January, so I was still in my winter make up routine)


'Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow' is a very buildable foundation. It is perfect if you use the same makeup for both day time and evening as you can apply it and blend it in and then apply some more of the product for a higher coverage look. It is also oil free and I can 100% agree with that as it gives my skin a more natural matte look. Again the level of matte to dewy look can be altered with the amount of product you apply however it is predominantly a matte finished foundation. I also find this foundation to be very moisturising and extremely easy to apply. It is quite a runny foundation but dries quite quickly. The added bonus of this foundation is that it has SPF 25! This is ideal for summer as you will have a nice 'flawless' completion (see what i did there) with the sun protection you face needs :)

At £25.50 it is more expensive that other foundations on the market but it is by no means the most expensive! I think this is a suitable price to ask from this product as a little goes a long way so you will use hardly any! 

I would definitely recommend this foundation to anyone and everyone! Also it is great if you have trouble finding a foundation to match your skin as there are 9 different shades to choose from.

Have you tried this foundation? What are your thoughts?

Wroldwide Wardrobe - Shopping in London & Sightseeing in Paris


This post is about a brilliant opportunity that Travel Supermarket are holding for all you bloggers out there! It is called 'Worlwide Wardrobe' and all you have to do is create your dream outfit for the different holiday destinations but by keeping to a £200 budget. You get to choose from London, Paris, Ibiza, New York and Thailand. You are then required to choose 5 other bloggers that you think would be up for entering the competition. Now the best part is if you win you get £200 to buy the outfit and then you also win a trip to the dream destination you chose! You can enter into all 5 categories if you wish, so more chances of winning!!!

This is perfect if your like me and really enjoy styling and creating different looks. For more information on the competition, click here 

The first style I chose was sightseeing in Paris. I love Paris so this would be an ideal place for me to visit! I chose clothes that would be comfortable for walking around the city. The jacket is ideal for walking around Europe as you never know what the weather will be like, even in the summer! It is also great for the jacket as it can be used to make the transition to day wear to evening wear a little smarter. I chose a top that would cover my shoulders are I am a red head and have pale skin and am prone to sun burn so this will hopefully prevent my shoulders from getting too red. Also a backpack is ideal for sightseeing as I can fit everything I would need during the day into the bag. I love pinafore dresses at the moment and this one from New Look would be perfect as it would hide unwanted lumps and bumps but still be on trend and comfortable!


This is my second choice for the 'Worldwide Wardrobe' competition. I live not too far away from London and no one can deny the amazing shopping that goes on there! This outfit would be ideal for walking around London as it is comfortable but also good for different weather situations. The shoes are the main favourite of mine in this outfit. They are the perfect summer sandal and can be worn with pretty much anything you choose. The height is also great for giving little people like me that extra bit of height without being too high that you feel like your feet are about to fall off! Pink is my favourite colour and I love the pale pink jeans from top shop. They work very well with the Barbie tank from Miss Selfridge. When visiting London a jacket is essential as you never know what the lovely England weather would be like however I think a denim jacket is a must have for any wardrobe. I chose this bag from New Look as it ties the wholes 'pink' themed outfit together.
