Trip to Birmingham & Haul

A couple of days ago me, my mum, my dad, my brother and my sister all trotted off to the bull ring in birmingham for a day out! I saw it as great way to get away from the stress of my art project which I have to do for college and also take the chance to buy a couple of nice makeup goodies.

This is exactly what I did. I did actually set out to buy the MAC face & body foundation and after asking lots of random people for directions and trotting around birmingham with the fam I finally found the MAC shop!

I only purchased one thing from MAC because to be honest thats all I could afford haha :)

I have tried this twice and so far I absoloutley love it! its so creamy and light and gives a really nice dewy finish. All the hype about this is deffinetely true. I can see this being a must have in my makeup collection.

In this snap the colour of the foundation looks more true to life. The lady in the MAC shop matched me up with the shade N2. I think it suits my skintone really well. Do you like the way I have placed the items against a lovely pink background? I was pretty proud of these photographs y'know!




I also picked up this Gosh velvet touch foundation primer. I have heard a few things about this and also wanted to try it. I didnt realise that it mattified the skin because being my ususal clumsy self, I just picked it up and went straight to the counter to pay for it. I didnt want a mattifying primer. Just one that would leave my skin as normal but keep my foundation on all day. Whoops!

I have tried the MAC F&B twice now and so far I am badabababa lovin' it! Mcdonalds haha :)
The first time I tried it, I used the Gosh primer and the result wasnt as dewy as I thought it would be. The second time I tried it without the primer and my skin looked so dewy and glowing. It was beautiful! Not trying to blow my own trumpet but my skin looked great!
Whats your favourite foundation?
