My new make up and beauty finds

I found this beauty baby blue Nails Inc varnish in t k maxx for only 4.99 the other day, the shade is called royal botanical gardens 104.
This colour is amazing on, I absolutely love a blue nail varnish and the pale pastel shade is the current shade I'm loving at the moment.

Also in Tk Maxx i bought a Blending Sponge for 4.99 from Earth Therapeutics, a company I'd never heard before but I really wanted a Blending Sponge.

Never used a shaped sponge before only used the make up sponges from boots before to blend with (and make up brushes obviously). I am never going back to normal sponges again the blending sponges are so much better as you can get into the little nook and crankies even better with this sponge.

In boots I needed to get a new bronzer as my old No7 one was worn out after many years of use, well the pale side had worn out and the dark side makes me look orange even when I have a tan so be a oomph lumpa when as pale as usual.

Since I'm obsessed with Soap and Glory, I thought I'd go and have a look at their bronzers, I picked their new one Solar Powder as it looked gorgeous when I tried it in store, both of their bronzers looked amazing but this one just suited me better. Since buying this I've put it on nearly every time I've had make up on.

After buying this bronzer, I decided it would be nice to buy a nice big powder and bronzer brush, I had a look in Tk Maxx but they didn't have one as big as I wanted, I ended up getting one from Primark for 3 pounds which has pink on the end of the brussels of the brush.

My top three foundations

I've used many different foundations for the last nearly ten years, the first one I ever bought was NYC loose powder because it was so cheap only three or four pounds at superdrug. It made me look orange and I was into the orange look, thought it made me look cool tanned and older as many of the older kids at school who I thought were pretty were orange. 

My mum never said anything about it but most of noticed as she took me to get my first higher end make up, Benefit. Mum used benefit quite a bit then as I thought it looked so cool, especially the packaging. I was over the moon, and I guess that is why this foundation by them is still my favourite so long down the line. 



My lastest favourite is Benefits Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation
