Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation | Review

I have finally got my hands on this foundation after wanting it for so long! I read so many raved reviews about this foundation and what swayed me was the idea it gave a really flawless and light weight finish, and after using it I completely agree! What is even better, is that it has no SPF, which means no horrible flash-back photos that make you look like a ghost- result!

I am currently loving this product, but because it was pretty expensive I am trying to save it for special occasions haha.
I have it in shade 6.5 which looks quite dark, but with my fake tan on, it is the perfect match.

The bottle itself feels very luxurious and comes with a pump dispenser which I have think is the best way to use foundation and so easy. Overall, it definitely lives up to the hype and is worth the hefty price tag in my opinion.

FAVE FALSIES


My eyelashes are extremely sad and even lashings of mascara can not help my poor excuse for eyelashes. If you one of those girls blessed with fabulous long eyelashes then I am very jealous. If not, like me, then falsies will become your best friend.
I love false eyelashes,they can transform your look in a instant!
I remember first trying them out and finding them quite fiddly and a lot of bother, but since wearing them on every night out for the past 3 years I have become somewhat a pro, being able to put them on in a flash and now even put them on for my friends. Be warned though, once you try them you will never look back!
After trying many different styles I always go back to the natural ones and normally use Eyelure 083 or 107, however, I think I have found my new favourite pair that are even more natural looking -the Ardell Demi Wispies and like the name they are wispy, fluttery and gorgeous on the eyes. 




Without anything 


With falsies


I love the finished look of the eyelashes

 I think the difference is huge and I would highly recommend them. The best bit is that I found them online on www.falseeyelashes.co.uk for £3.99- such a bargain!!

Does anyone else where false eyelashes? what ones do you use?

Best things about going back to UNI after a break

I love uni! It really is the best time of your life and after an extremely long Christmas break at home this year, I am desperate to return to my uni bubble. I shouldn't be complaining though as the only reason I have been able to stay at home for so long is because I have no exams wooo
However, I did find out yesterday that I have an essay I really should be doing, but, as I am the queen of procrastination I have decided to write this blog post instead.




1. Flatmates
You get to live with your besties all day everyday. They get you and you get them. When you are finally reunited after what seems like forever, nothing has really changed and everything just goes back to normal which is FAB. Living with 3 girls there is always someone around and only a door away if you need a gossip, bitch or someone to watch the new episode of Broadchurch with(how amazing is this show!?)

2. Spontaneity
Going out at home seems to take years of planning and often leads to staying in as nobody can be bothered to make the effort. But, at Uni this all changes and deciding to go out at 10pm is spontaneous and easy, and these nights often turn out to be the best!

3. DRUNK FOOD
One thing I have definitely missed is our drunken toast parties after a night out. It tastes sooo good at 3.30am and you never feel guilty because well, you were drunk.

4. Being lazy
and not being judged. At home you are constantly being made to feel guilty by your parents for not doing anything and you will get a disapproving look if you are still in your pj's when they come home from work. But at Uni it is just one constant sleepover and if you wear your pj's nonstop and don't leave the house for a couple of days no-one will really judge you. YAY

5. Getting ready for nights out
Now don't get me wrong I love the nights out but actually getting ready for the night out itself can sometimes be a little more exciting. Especially when you live with 3 girls and our rooms are only a few metres apart. You can have the music as loud as you want, you can drink whilst getting ready and you can decide as a group either heels or flats??

6. Routine
As well as all the fun things, it is nice to get some routine back in your life. Spending 24/7 in your house can get a bit boring and so I am looking forward to getting back to normality and having something to with my days.  

So yes take me back to uni please,(preferably when everyone has finished exams)so we can party and drink and forget that this is our last proper term at Uni because that makes me sad :(

Hope you enjoyed this random post! I would love to hear if anyone else is currently at Uni and whereabouts?

Love mary xo

Nars Audacious Lipsticks | Review

I am a sucker for new lipstick, so I knew I had to get my hands on one of the Audacious lipsticks, when the range came out back in October. A little late to the blog but I had to tell you that 'Audrey' has probably been my most worn lipstick throughout Christmas and New Year and I don't think I will bore of it anytime soon.

The Audacious range from Nars comes in 40 wearable shades so there will definitely be a perfect shade for you. The lipstick itself is highly pigmented,non-drying on the lips and goes on so smoothly- what more could you ask for in a lipstick?

Plus, the packaging is super sleek and exciting as the lid is metallic so provides a very satisfying click on each use.

The colour 'Audrey' is a very unique and is unlike any shade I own. The best way to describe it would be, a mix between raspberry and burgandy- a really gorgeous warm colour.



Overall I would recommend this lipstick and would love to try different shades in the range. Let me know if you have tried this lipstick also?

Pillow Talk and Filmstar Bronze & Glow | Charlotte Tilbury Treats

Helloo, Happy New Year everyone! So I'm back for 2015 for a makeup post! I was extremely spoilt this year and I received so many beautiful presents under my tree, but two of my absolute favourites are my makeup gifts by Charlotte Tilbury. I have wanted to try these for soo long! Everything about the range screams luxury, from the beautiful rose gold packaging to the gorgeous shades of lippy. One of the beauty products extremely raved about this year was the lip cheat liner in 'Pillow Talk' so I just had to try it especially as I love lip liners and really think they enhance your lip shape.


 This liner definitely lived up to the hype, it is THE best liner I have used so far, it is velvety on the lips and glides on so effortlessly, unlike some cheaper liners I have tried that can sometimes be a bit chalky on the lips. It is the most perfect pinky nude colour and you can even wear this all over your lips, on its own and it still looks fab.



I was also lucky to the get the bronze and glow, contour and highlight kit and I love it. It is so pretty!! The powder is very pigmented and the colour is lovely on the skin, especially the highlighter, it adds a beautiful shimmery effect to the cheek bone. 
This will definitely be my go to bronzer from now on and I can't wait to add more Charlotte Tilbury makeup to my collection.
  Here are a couple of pictures of me using both the products..


Has anyone else tried these products? What do you think?
