The Glueless Scr4pbook.

Part 2 of my new series, the products I have already, or definitely would repurchase.

1. Chanel Soliel Tan De Chanel

I just repurchased this, this has been my number one bronzer of choice for the last 6 months, it's so natural and you can build it up for night time, it can be used over or under foundation or even on its own, it's very lightweight and although it's pricey I think it's worth it.

2. Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado

Again I have literally just repurchased this one too (I got the smaller pot this time though so I can actually fit it in my Muji drawers (the struggle). This is my eye cream of choice as it's super nourishing but not too heavy or thick with is perfect for my oily skin.

3. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

This is one of my absolute favourites, I'm on my third tube, it's a great multi tasker (pigmentation, blemishes, scars, dark circles all covered with this) and it really is creamy so it blends easily and doesn't cling to any dryness.

4. Vichy Dermablend Foundation

This is hands down the best full coverage foundation that I have tried, a tiny amount will cover whatever you got, the texture is great too light and creamy but with a healthy satin finish so it would work well with every skin type.

5. Garnier Micellar Water

I recently purchased the famous Bioderma for the first time and can honestly say that this does a better job, and doesn't leave my skin feeling stiff like the Bioderma seemed to do, also fantastic value for money and they also do a version for sensitive skin now too.

6. Nails Inc Victoria Beckham Bamboo White

I think I would go as far as to say that this is my favourite nude polish, it's totally opaque after two coats and dries quickly too, it's pricey but I think it's worth it, hopefully it doesn't sell out before I need a new one.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer (£17/ 5ml)

After hearing all the hype about this concealer and how it was so similar to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, and some had even said its replaced the Nars altogether, I had to buy it and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts.

After using it for around 3 weeks (on and off because I couldn't quite get on with it) I can safely say that  it's actually nothing like the Nars in my opinion, the Nars is exactly what is says 'radiant & creamy', this one is creamy when first applied but once set it's much more of a powder finish. I found this tends to set quite quickly too, much like the Mac Prolongwear and it also has the same kind of strong scent as the Mac. This is a very brightening concealer so I do like that for under my eyes but because of the semi powder finish I find it does seem to settle in fine lines on me, contrary to almost every other review I have read which is strange. I would say the coverage is on the high end of medium but again Nars beats it there too, I do however love the applicator which makes it really easy and smooth to apply. So to sum up, I wouldn't say this was a bad concealer by any means and it doesn't actually work out much cheaper than the Nars when you look at quantity versus price (this has less in the tube) so I will definitely be sticking to he Nars in the future.

Hope this review as helpful for you guys and just a reminder that this is just my opinion about how it worked for my skin type. What did you think of this concealer?

I recently got a little bonus from work so I decided to pick up a few bits that were on my wanted list.

So, I decided to buy the Chanel Les Bieges Powder finally, I was debating between this and the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder but I decided to go for this for now and maybe I might be cheeky next month and pick up the Hourglass one. I picked up the new Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer too because my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer was running seriously low so I thought I would get that instead of repurchasing but then Space NK had their £10 off offer so I thought I should do my repurchases any way so I ordered another Nars concealer and another Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment because that has also just finished. Lastly I went to Aesop and picked up the Amazing Face Cleanser and the Tea Tree Leaf Facial Exfoliant which I'm so happy about because I have wanted them for so long. I also picked up the Chanel Nail Polish Remover because I haven't had it for ages and I love it, and the new Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette but I forgot to put them in the photo. I will be reviewing all of these products so keep your eyes peeled.

The New, Clarins Instant Concealer

The newest concealer in my collection and a great addition, enough coverage and a nice brightening effect for dark circles but as it is so moisturising it works really well on blemishes and discolouration too, this is in a tube so it's very hygienic and also easy to control how much you use, it's a very creamy consistency with a medium coverage.

The Old, Mac Pro Longwear

An old faithful for sure, amazingly thin consistency but highly pigmented so a little goes a very long way, this is great for contouring as its so brightening under the eyes. This comes with a pump which is great but it does tend to dispense a little too much which is the only fault I can find with this. It is a full coverage but very wearable concealer which doesn't cake or crease.

The Lovely, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

This is the holy grail concealer for most beauty bloggers and I can see why, the formula is rich and creamy so it doesn't cling to dry patches but doesn't cake under the eyes and feels natural on the skin. This is another full coverage concealer and comes with a doe foot applicator so it's perfect for on the go.

Do you love any of these too?

I have seriously been going Space NK crazy, I'm pretty sure most have my wages have gone there in the last few months :/ whoops.... Anyway, it was all worth it of course because I managed to get all these goodies. I just wanted to do a mini haul with you guys so you can expect some reviews on these products coming up in the near future.

Firstly I ordered another Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla, because after the trouble I had trying to find the first one, I thought while its in stock why the hell not? So she is ready and waiting to be popped out of her box when I eventually finish my current one.

Secondly I went ahead and ordered the Hourglass Arch when it came back in stock, I have been wanting to try this for ever but they had been sold out of the Soft Brunette for a long time so when I got the email telling me they were back in stock I ordered one right away.

Lastly I had to get one of the Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow Duos, I chose the candlelight/sculpting version although I do also have my eye on one of the blush versions too, they're so tiny and handy for throwing in your bag, love love love.

So as I said guys reviews will be coming soon (apart from the Nars Concealer, I have already done one), hope you enjoyed my mini haul :)

1. Barry M Gelly Polish in the shade Rose Hip

2. Prada Candy Florale

3. Avene Thermal Spring Water

4. Bourjois Bronzing Primer

5. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla

6. NYX Butter Gloss in the shade Eclair

1. So I have been going crazy for pastels (even more than usual) and when I saw the new Barry M shades I had to get one, I liked all 3 but I chose the baby pink shade which I have been wearing 2 weeks out of the 4, it's very long lasting and super shiny, and most importantly the colour is lovely.

2. Perfume is my weakness, and the new Prada release simply had to be mine, I have done a full review on this already, but basically a springy floral scent in gorgeous packaging.

3. This moisture spray has been my go to of the month, I have just gone out and repurchased a back up because it is nearly empty, just feels really refreshing and hydrating, I love it first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

4. I had first wanted to get the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel but I went for the drugstore option instead and now I'm not even sure I need the Chanel one, I have been using this non stop every day and I love love love it, full review coming soon.

5. This concealer was a nightmare to get hold of in Vanilla (I have recently seen it back on Space NK so I have already repurchased in advance so I don't have the same trouble next time) but now that I have it I am using it every day for spots, darkness, redness, it works for everything, amazing stuff!

6. MmmmMmmmMmmm is all I have to say, I ordered these babies last month and I've been using them like crazy since I got them, they aren't sticky, they smell gorgeous, the shades are lovely and they are super moisturising, I need some more shades I think.

Today I thought I would do a FOTD post and just show you guys what products I'm currently using on a daily basis.

Firstly a new moisturiser that I recently picked up, the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream by The Body Shop, this stuff is amazing! I can see the shine disappear from my face as soon as I rub it it, it smells really clean and doesn't leave my face feeling stiff, just hydrated and matte looking.

After my moisturiser has dried in I have been using the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer almost every day since I got it (some days I forget, I'm trying to get into a routine), again I love this, it is a cream formula so it just dries right in, it doesn't just sit on the skin like Porefessional or Baby Skin, it doesn't feel drying, it just smooths and mattifies and it definitely prolongs the life of my foundation.

For foundation I have been using MAC Studio Fix Fluid, I have done a full review on this (yesterday's post) but overall, it is a full coverage foundation, that blends in seamlessly and hides all my imperfections, there is very little need for concealer with this one.

I find that the concealer that works best with the Studio Fix Fluid is the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, which I love for its thin consistency but great pigmentation. I just take half a pump of this and dab it where I need it and blend it in with a stippling brush. Voila.

For under my eyes I have been testing out this Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, again it is very pigmented so I just use two splodges of this under each eye and then tap it in with my finger.

For my eyelids I now try not to go ever them with my foundation brush when I am doing my foundation because I find the more layers I put on, the more likely they are to crease. So on my naked eyelid I apply MAC Painterly Paint Pot pretty much up to my eyebrow, one thin layer covers everything.

Cheeks have been easy, I have been going back to my old faithful MAC blush in Giggly, a real Barbie pink shade, which is great for winter for that naturally flushed look.

My face powder is a new one too, it's the One Heck Of A Blot by Soap & Glory, which has taken over from my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I'm really liking it, it's really light texture so you can barely feel it on the skin and it doesn't look cakey when you layer it up.

For highlighter, I've been using my favourite of all time High Beam by Benefit, because its perfect and long lasting. I just use this under my brows, down my nose and on my Cupid's bow, I rarely use it on my cheek bones, I usually use a powder highlighter for that, but with my bad skin at the moment, the last thing I want to do is highlight those areas.

Eyes, I have been in love with my Naked Basics palette by Urban Decay ever since I bought it, it's just so wearable. I gravitate towards 'Walk of Shame' for all over my lid, then 'Naked 2' in the crease and a tiny bit of 'Faint' for the outer corners. I have also been testing out Faint as an eyebrow shader, and it's actually a perfect colour for me, so I'm going to try and get an idividual shadow for that.

For mascara I have been using the Miss Manga mascara by L'oreal, every single day, I love it, it's such a light daytime mascara that seperates every lash and defines them really well.

For quick eyebrows I always use my Veluxe Brow Liner by MAC, mine is in the shade Deep Dark Brunette, it's just definitely the easiest and quickest ways to get brows done.

I change my lip products every day, depending on how I feel, what I'm wearing, what I'm going to be doing in the day etc. but I have been using these two products a lot since I bought them, one is the Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in the shade 132 Sweet Pink, a really natural, everyday, nude pink shade, with a slight sheen that looks so pretty on. The other is Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in the shade 215 Super Natural, again a pretty nude pink shade, perfect for day time, really glossy and really pretty, I have done reviews on both of these recently because I love them so much.

Hope this was a helpful Face Of The Day/ Mini Review post.
