Chanel Vitalumiere aqua

This is the only foundation i have ever re-purchased so its defiantly worth a blog post , being a complete and utter beauty geek , i just cant stick to a foundation even if i really like it , I'am  always looking for the next beauty market hype , well let me tell you THIS is the beauty market hype and this is a foundation that cannot be replaced , once you've tried this everything else will seem ''cakey'' & heavy.

I have alot of redness that i have to cover 

This is after 1 coat and no primer ( which helps to counteract redness) and in natural lighting

To describe this foundation i would probably use the words light as air , you step out of the house with the feeling of freshly washed skin , the main ingredient on the foundation is WATER ...yes water so it sits on the skin rather than going into the pores which is brilliant for anyone with skin problems , the coverage is said to be ''light to medium'' but i would say its more medium , its defiantly build-able and you can apply a few coats for more coverage ( and it still doesn't look cakey) , It was a yellow undertone which is brilliant for anyone who has redness or angry spots in their skin-tone as it counteracts the redness. The finish is matte/semi-matte so especially great for anyone with normal or oily skin but i have dry and i love it so i defiantly think its suitable for all skin types. It also contains a SPF 15 which is brilliant for any sun worshipers or people who like to protect there skin. This foundation costs £32 which may seem a bit steep but i can assure you it is WELL worth the money the light consistently allows you to be able to apply the smallest amount which can be spread over the entire face i find this lasts me around 2-3 Months , I can tell you that as a lover of this foundation i have tried so many duplicates and none stand up to this , i have tried applying with a brush & also my fingers and find that it is much better applied with the fingers.

Formula:  This foundation has to be to shaken well before applying it.  Once you squirt it out the consistency is a very thin liquid. 

Coverage:  The coverage is sheer.  If you just want to cover redness and not any serious acne then this foundation is great for you.  It looks very natural & is matte/semi-matte

Longevity:  This foundation lasts a long time on me, although that is subject to a person's skin type.  I have dry skin so I typically don't have a problem with fading foundation. I don't normally set this foundation with powder as its matte/semi-matte and i absolutely love the finish

Scent:  It smells really strong and floral while you apply it.  I absolutely love the smell, but it doesn't irritate my skin ( which is sensitive) and I don't notice it after I'm done applying.

Shade:  I use 50 Beige , The shade ''names'' have changed to just numbers but i believe beige 50 is ''Beige Sienna'' this is my summer shade and in the winter i use B40 which was previously known as ''Beige Dessert''

Flawless Face

I have had my eye on the real techniques brushes for so long , but since i don't live in a city the variety of  the brushes stocked  in my local boots was below basic , so after a busy day at the Manchester beauty show , I hoped skipped & jumped to the nearest Boots to pick up the brushes that everyone is raving about....

They call this the expert face brush ... and it really is phenomenal i always find that after one or two uses of a normal liquid foundation brush you get the ''Im ready to be cleaned & if you dont clean me im going to apply streaky '' look. Now dont get me wrong i wash my brushes every week but i certainly dont have time to be washes them after every two uses, this brush applies your foundation ''pixel perfect'' making you look fawless in any lighting

I actually don't think i could ever use anything else ... 

This comes as a set and is called ''Core Collection''  It contains a buffing brush ( which i also use for foundation but it gets clogged up quite quickly)
Precision Contour brush
Pointed foundation brush ( which i use for concealer )
Detailer brush which can either be used for lipstick or concealer

Make-up/Face& body care Organisation using everyday items

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

Being a beauty fanatic , like most of you reading my blog will be ( i'am guessing that's why it interests you) i thought i would share with you my make up organisation tips, i have far to much make-up in my own opinion although some people make think its not a lot at all. I have watched loads of youtube videos on how people store there make up but have never found anything that is easy to get hold of and cost effective so i thought i would  share with you my ways of organizing hope you enjoy :)

This is what i use to hold all my make-up is basically just a small chest of drawers i do have a dressing table ( vanity for you americans :) but because it has space to put my legs i like to put my laptop there and use it to do all my blogging

This is what i use to hold my brushes and all my favorite foundations , they are plant pots that you get when you buy Orchard flowers there really handy and i put rice in the bottom of the brush one to help all my brushes stay up ,.

Some of my favourite foundations and primers from left to right , Monu skin perfecting primer , No7 Colour calming primer ( to conceal redness) Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (B40)  on top of that one is 17 Adapt-itude ( medium dark) , 2 Rimmel wake me up foundation 1 in true ivory the other in classic beige, M&S Perfection SPF20 foundation in brown suede, Boujour 123 perfect in Vanilla , Body shop Flawless skin  protecting SPF25 foundation in 04, and my most recent purchase Cllinique Redness Solution in calming honey . 

In The top picture you can see a wicker basket on the left hand side this is what i use to hold my palettes it cost about £2.99 from asda but you can pick them up in most home stores, these are some of my everyday palettes.

This is a cutlery organiser which you can pick up at any kitchen or home store there so cheap and start off a around 89p there perfect for holding mascaras , single eyeshadow blushes and bronzers.

This is the same as the above and in the corner you can see a square cardboard box which is a old perfume box which i cut the top of to store lipsticks so i could see the colours/names

These are old glossyboxes whish i turn upside down to store my products in , it really helps because it stops your products moving everywhere when you open the draws , normal boxes could be used , in the back is a old card tin which i split t old cuticle tips , cotton buds (cutips) and nail glitters

This ones quite blurred so sorry about that but there not much organised  in it anyway just thought i would show you how i store the rest of my palettes which you can see on the right , i used a ceramic square thing that i got with a St Tropez kit but again boxes would be fine for this.

Again this is another old glossy box opened and turned upside down this is AMAZING for holding nail polishes , i really want to get a stand but there really expensive so this is the next best thing they hold them upright ( which stops them going clumpy) and also stop them from moving .

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.

DISCLAIMER: All of the above products are bought with my own money, I am not bragging in anyway shape or form but have had a few emails asking how i store my make-up and wanted to share it with my followers.
