BOURJOIS - HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION - 53 | BEAUTY.

BOURJOIS PARIS - HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION - NO.53.

Recently I've been so desperate to try a new foundation, preferably something that was a little more dewy than my usual L'Oreal Infallible foundation, which has more of a matte finish. Now I'm not one for branching out in foundations as every time I've tried, they've either been the wrong shade or the coverage just wasn't right, but this year I've told myself that I will test more foundations and I will find the perfect match!

Now some may think that I'm a bit slow on the blogger hype, but I don't usually buy items just because everyone else has them, unless it has a unicorn on it or it's a little bit weird. As I do usually like to wait and read the reviews to see what people really thought after a few weeks/months of trialling the product, just so you feel like you have more of an honest opinion on the product and not just a review after using it for a day.

What I loved about the Bourjois - Healthy Mix Foundation was that the colour chart was a little more realistic than most drug store shades and it was more of a high end colour match for my skin. I went for no.53 and this is very much like my MAC shade, which ranges between nc25/30. The colour match couldn't be more perfect for my skin tone, with the subtle yellow undertones. The coverage of this foundation is great, you can choose between a medium coverage or something a little heavier with 2 pumps. I found that the foundation lasted such a long time on my skin, which I was quite shocked about with it being a dewy finish and with it not being set with a powder either. I would say that it lasts around 8 hours +. The finish of this foundation is lovely, it quickly adds youth to your skin with the dewy finish, but all I will say is that you may need to apply a little concealer to any heavy blemishes, as I had a scratch on the end of my nose (thanks dog) and it didn't really cover that for many hours, I did have to touch up once or twice throughout the day, but other than that I found this foundation pretty much perfect for my skin.

As you can see above the colour match is spot on for my skin tone and you can kinder see the dewy finish in the photo on the right. I think I've decided already that this is going to be my Spring/Summer, holiday foundation and I will definitely be re-purchasing this little gem. Have you tried any of the Bourjois foundations before?

What's your favourite foundation to date?

BASIC | FASHION.

BASIC.

Basic in my world usually means I'm feeling boring or I couldn't find anything sassy enough to wear (or maybe I'm just having a lazy day)... I was having a basic wardrobe day today, and what better way to be comfy, with a long ass baggy comfy tee from H&M! I absolutely love the length of these tops and the sleeves, they are a god send! If you're like me and like your tops to cover up your little bottom and those scrawny little arms, you'll love them too. They go nicely with the super stretchy jeggings from H&M also, I have them in several different colours. 

I was having one of those weeks when you pull everything out in your bedroom and realise how much of an hoarder you are. Why do we tend to keep so much junk? and then I came across an old bag that I forgot I even had. I've had this bag for about 3 years. I can remember coming across it online on the River Island website and realising it was in the sale for just £20! It's real leather too. Bargain!

GONE GIRL - BOOK REVIEW.

GONE GIRL.
Gone girl is written by an author called Gillian Flynn. I hadn't heard of this author before coming across this book. t purposely didn't go to see this film at the cinemas as I'd heard so many rumours that the book was a whole lot better than the film, which it usually the case anyway. When you've read a book and then go and see a film you're usually let down because they haven't made it like you had imagined the story and they leave so much stuff out that you personally enjoyed reading. So when I saw this book was on offer in Tesco for a bargain price of just £3.85 I had to pick it up, as I hadn't purchased a new book in what felt like ages and I'd liked the sound of this one from what I'd read online and the sneaky peak chapter sample from Amazon.

My Opinion after the first few chapters of the book
I thought I'd write a little snippet of what I think of the book so far, baring in mind I'm only 1/4 of the way through the book. I thought it would be a great idea to look back and see how much my opinion has changed throughout. So first of all let me just say that I've never read a book like this one, it's the layout it's very interesting throughout, it's written in diary form, which skips from one person to another with Amy Elliott Dunne and Nick Dunne. One story starts from the beginning of their love story  and the other is about what is going off right now. Quite genius right? If I'm honest I've preferred reading Amy Elliott Dunne's diary compared to her partners - Nick Dunne. I think it may be because you can see the story from her point of view.I kind of feel sorry for Amy Elliott Dunne at the moment as she seems to get let down a hell of a lot, whilst the other half does whatever he likes (well so it seems).

My opinion after reading the whole book
Boy has it changed! After getting through the half way mark of the book my opinion totally changed. Let's just say you feel totally different to how you felt in the first half. Amy Elliott Dunne is one powerful woman. It's hard to write a book review without giving too much away. So let's juts say: its not your typical thriller. Usually you're reading about their story and how much they've lied to one another, but in this book we are also being manipulated and getting lied to. This book is definitely one of my highest recommend MUST READ books. The book has been written in such an exciting way (don't know if I I've told you already) and has had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book. I read this book quite quick as I couldn't seem to put the bloody thing down. It was that bad that I had it in book form and then I'd be staying at my boyfriends on a weekend and ended up downloading it on my kindle book app on my phone too, just so I could read it in bed whilst he went to sleep ha. I was a little disappointed in the ending though, but it's made me wonder if there will be another book to follow?

Have you read this book yet? I'd love to know of some other crime/thriller books just like this one if anyone knows of any? I'll definitely be buying more books by Gillian Flynn that's for sure.
