Paler Than Pale

2011-02-01T11:52:00.000-08:00

I have always struggled to find foundations that are light enough for my skin tone. MAC's NC/NW 15 is way too dark. Anything that Boots or Superdrug sell doesn't come close. I also have the added problem of oily/acne prone skin. Therefore I need a liquid foundation that is oil free has good coverage and is long lasting.

I am currently trying out 3 new foundations.

Bobbi Brown Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation SPF 15 in Alabaster

This foundation is a good colour match for me however it only gives a light to medium coverage. It's oil free which is great but it feels more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation.

Illamasqua RF 115 For very light skin with neutral undertones

I visited the Illamasqua counter to ask advice on which foundation to get and came away with this. I told her I had oily and acne prone skin and required a foundation that gave a good coverage and lasted all day. I must say that the colour match isn't bad, it could even be a tad too light. However, this is one seriously heavy foundation. I'm used to wearing a full coverage foundation but this is something else. I really don't think it's designed for oily skin. It just goes to show, MUA's will not necessarily give you the best advice. I'm determined not to waste this foundation so have been using it as a concealer.

Nars Sheer Matte Foundation in Siberia

I ordered this form the Nars website with high hopes. I have previously tried the Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc which was too dark and only lasted a few hours. I was talked into buying this at Space NK, even though I told her I had oily skin.

Siberia has a slightly more yellow tome than the Bobbi Brown Alabaster, but I can still make it work. It's also oil free which is great for me.

Mixing
I'm a big fan of mixing foundations to get the right shade and consistency. I have a draw full of foundations that I have bought and then realised they are way too dark. I will be definitely be mixing the Illamasqua 115 to lighten other foundations.

I would love to hear about any other light foundations you have tried.

Much love

Soap and Glory

2009-10-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

I've been on a bit of a mission lately to find a good shower gel and moisturiser combo that smells good together and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. I spent about an hour in Boots looking at all the shower gels and body lotions to try and find something I liked. I wanted to try something I'd not used before and nothing was really catching my eye.

I then spotted the Soap and Glory display. I've always bypassed these products in the past, I always thought them a bit gimmicky, something I tend to stay away from.

I couldn't have been more wrong about these products. I unscrewed the top off the Clean On Me Shower Gel and instantly loved the smell. It's a very feminine smell and kind of reminds me of Miss Dior Cherrie or one of the Britney Spears perfumes but not as overwhelming.

I bought a few things, I thought I may as well try a good selection of the range, for research purposes only of course :)

Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub £6.36

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel 500ml £5

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Lotion £6.50

Soap & Glory Hair Supply £6

Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub £6.36

I feel like I'm really pampering myself when I use this body scrub, it leaves your skin coated in a light residue that helps to moisturise and soften the skin.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel 500ml £5

This is a really nice everyday shower gel, it foams really well with a body puff and smells devine.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Lotion £6.50
I've used this everyday for the past week after showering and my skin has never felt so soft and smelt so good, my boyfriend loves it!! After a shower I'll dry myself so my skin is slightly damp and then apply the body lotion, I find this helps the lotion soak in. It doesn't soak in straight away but I can forgive this as the smell is gorgeous.

Soap & Glory Hair Supply (Hair Mask)
I've been a bit wary of hair products recently after the allergic reaction I had to the Gliss Shampoo. I've used this twice this week and so far have had no problems. My hair feels silky soft but it also feels nourished.

I've been really impressed with the Soap and Glory products and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the range.

YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara

2009-10-01T11:56:00.000-07:00

Hi ladies

I'm a complete mascara whore, I have a draw full of mascaras but they are mainly all drug store brands. I have never really been drawn towards the high end brand mascaras. To me a mascara is as good as it's wand with not much difference between a £5 mascara and £25 mascara.

Last weekend I was in Boots and decided to use my Boots Advantage card points that I had been saving up for a looong time. I decided to buy yet another mascara and thought I would give a more high end mascara a go. Initially I was torn between Dior Show and the YSL Faux Cils. The MUA explained that the YSL mascara had won a load of beauty awards so I opted for that one.

I have been using it all week and I have to say I am impressed. The wand is long and thin which is ideal for covering lashes right from the root. It does give a slight false lash effect as it separates, fans and lifts my lashes in all the right places.

But is it worth the £21 price tag?? I still think it's the wand that makes all the difference no matter what brand is on the side of the tube. What do you think?

Do you have a HG mascara? let me know, I'd love to try it and make my collection even bigger:)

I think it was my Revlon Colourstay Foundation.

3. What was the biggest problem you needed to correct?

None today :)

7. Did you have a makeup inspiration in mind?

9. What's part of your routine is the most fun?
I love choosing what blusher and highlighter to use, I have a vast selection and I think blusher can really change a look.

10. What part of your makeup makes the biggest difference in the way you look?
My foundation, without it I look pale and blotchy.

15. When did you finish your makeup?
At about 8am, I was quick today :)

Lunchtime Sprees

2009-09-23T11:55:00.000-07:00

I have quite a stressful job, so when lunchtime finally arrives I like nothing more than spending an hour perusing the shops.

Over the past few weeks I have bought a number of things during my lunch hour.

Nars Essentials Eye Palette

Top line Unconditional Love, Night Star and Galapagos.

Bottom line include Nepal, Ondine and Thunderball.

Unconditional Love is a cream shadow, ideal to use as a base or highlight.
Night Star and Galapagos are both quite glittery, great for Christmas nights out.

This palette can be used for a variety of looks, very versatile and can go from day to night.

Boots 3 for 2 and a little extra
At the moment Boots are doing a 3 for 2 offer on the majority of the makeup brands they carry.

I bought;

Revlon Colour Stay 12 hour eye shadow quad in Sunrise, Sunset - the shadows feel very velvety, I haven't tried them yet but I'll let you know how I get on.

Bourjois 3D Effect Lip gloss in no. 3 Les Nudes. I'll let you know how I get on with this. It smells like sweets which I quite like!

No7 Extravagant Lash mascara in black/brown - I hate this mascara, the wand is square, too chunky and difficult to use. I ended up with clumped, gloopy lashes. One for my mum I think.

The only good thing about buying the mascara is that I got a free No. 7 Sultry-Eyes Quad. All 4 shades are quite shimmery and the quad contains two purple shades. Purple is a must have colour for this season and it will be a great quad to use for night out.

I keep you updated on what I think of all the products once I had a good play about with them.

Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Shampoo and Conditioner WARNING

2009-09-22T13:45:00.000-07:00

I change my shampoo every time I run out, at the moment it's the turn of Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Liquid Silk Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner. I've been using this for the past week and have been fairly pleased with the results.

Until now.

I had a shower this evening and while drying myself I noticed that my back felt quite tender. I asked my boyfriend to have a look for me and he counted 15 cystic acne spots on my back!!! I immediately ran to the mirror to see for myself. The spots are in the exact same place where my hair lies on my back. When I wash and condition my hair I will leave the conditioner on for a good 5 minutes before rinsing it off. I think this is when the allergic reaction has happened.

I have never ever had an allergic reaction anything like this before. I do suffer from acne but I believe I have it under control and I have never experienced it on my back before.

I don't know what ingredients in the shampoo and conditioner would cause this reaction, if I knew I would definitely avoid it from now on. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone tell me what I can use to clear it up? I was thinking about taking some antihistamines, would that work?

If your thinking of trying this shampoo I would advise against it, it's not worth the risk - it's going to take weeks for these spots to clear up :(

Makeup in Minutes

2009-09-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

Hello Ladies

Last Sunday I literally had 10 minutes to get ready. I thought I would share with you what makeup I use when I'm in a hurry.

One thing I can't skip on is my foundation, concealor and powder routine, as I've been wearing makeup for nigh on 15 years I have the application down to a T and can apply it in minutes.

The next thing I grab is a cream eyeshadow or something like a paint pot or shade stick, something that I can apply with my fingers. I'll choose a light colour so I don't have to take my time being precise over the application.

Next is a quick coat of mascara, I'll choose a favourite, a mascara that I am familiar with.

I'll then apply blusher and I'm done. I carry a makeup bag with me everywhere I go, it usually contains a handful of lipsticks and lipglosses, so in the car I'll apply a neutral lipstick and that's me done.

What I used:
Usual foundation routine see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUel5mPH5kw
Mac Indiawood Paint Pot
Natural Collection Lash Build Mascara in brown
Gosh Velvet Touch Eyeliner in truly brown
Maybelline Amber Rose lipstick

Look what I bought today :)

2009-09-13T13:03:00.000-07:00

This afternoon I popped into the Metro Centre in Gateshead. I headed straight to Top Shop as I knew exactly what I wanted. Lollipop26 has recently blogged about the outfits she has worn over the past week. As part of her Thursday outfit she work a gorgeous pair of pale pink flats with gold studding detail. I knew I had to have them and for £28 they're a real bargain. They have leather uppers with a t-bar fastening, both pretty and practicle.

If you're not already following Lollipop26's blog, you must, she is fabulous http://lollipop26writes.blogspot.com/

I also bought a pretty pale peach coloured top that will go nicely with my new shoes. I really like the collar on this top and the delicate lace detail. The top was also from Top Shop and was also £28. I plan to wear my new top and shoes with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, I can't wait to wear them tomorrow :)

Sorry about the lighting in these photos.

I will indeed Skip that Chip

2009-09-12T11:54:00.000-07:00

Whilst perusing my local Sallys I came across OPI's Chip Skip. Normally I'm not taken in with nail products that claim to keep you nail varnish chip free and in perfect condition but as I was purchasing a number of OPI nail polishes I thought I would give it a try.

I was expecting a base coat type product with a similar consistency to nail polish. however it's more like a thin liquid. The Chip Skip works by priming your nails allowing the nail polish to adhere better making the polish last longer.

I applied one coat of the Chip Skip, one coat of base coat, two coats of nail polish and a top coat. I did this the day I flew to Ibiza as I thought a week in the pool would be an excellent way to test the product.

My nails were still in perfect condition on day 6!!!! I have used this product every time I have painted my nails since and I will definitely be repurchasing. I can paint my nails on a Sunday night and will not have to redo them until the following Saturday.A great product for any nail varnish addict!!

Adult Acne - How I cope

2009-09-10T13:11:00.000-07:00

Hey girls

I have suffered from adult acne since the age of 20. In my teens I had the odd blemish but it could by no means be called acne. Initially I thought I'd had an allergic reaction to something, one moment I had perfect skin, the next I had huge clusters of spots focused around my chin.

The doctor diagnosed acne and put me on a long term course of antibiotics. In total I took antibiotics on and off for 5 years. I have tried all of the cyclines changing from one to another every so often as my body would get used to it. I found antibiotics to be a very effective way of clearing my acne. They took about four weeks to take effect and for me to notice a difference. I didn't suffer any side effects and my skin didn't become dry or flakey.

After 5 year I thought it was about time to come off the antibiotics. I felt I wasn't doing my body any favours by taking them for such a long period of time. As soon as the level of medication had dropped and left my body my acne had returned. I then decided to try and cope with it topically.

I have tried many spot fighting moisturisers, cleansers and toners that claim to clear the skin. I now feel I have found one that actually works!

For the past 3 months I have been using the Clinique 3 step anti blemish system.

The system includes a foam facial cleanser, an exfoliating toner and an oil control moisturiser. I use this morning and night and have seen fantastic results. Before using the system I always had some sort of blemish on my face worsening during the time of the month. Now my skin is clear and smooth. I get the odd spot but nothing compared to what it was like before and usually they appear before my period.

I am thrilled with these products and would recommend anyone with adult acne to give it a try.

I have also changed my makeup routine. Like most girls I wear makeup everyday, I really don't feel like I'm fully dressed without my makeup and would certainly not leave the house without applying it first. Unfortunately makeup can irritate the skin and make acne worse. To try and prevent this I have changed my foundation to an oil free formula and I also use an oil free foundation primer.

Before changing my makeup routine I would get to 10am and have to blot my face to remove excess oil, now my makeup lasts all day long without any touch ups!!

I use the Revlon Colour Stay foundation and Mac's Prep and Prime with SPF 50, I then use Mac's Blot Powder on my t - zone.

So far this routine is working well for me, give it a try, you never know it may work for you too :) Let me know how you get on.

Love Pip xx

My Colour Craft Wish List

2009-07-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

My Colour Craft Wish List

This collection has got me very excited. There is a strong feeling of summery happiness, hot days and long nights that surrounds the colour craft collection, very appealing.

I would like everything from the collection but as I am not a multi-millionaire I have selected my favourites and listed them below

Lipstick
Colour Crafted (milky pink frost)
Madly Creative

Mineralised Skin Finish Trio
Smooth Merge

Mineralised Blush
Hand Finished
Daft Pink
Improvise

Mineralised Skin Finish
Porcelain Pink

As I have very fair skin (NW15) I think the other blushes and skin finishes would be too dark for me. I'm also skipping the brushes, I'm on the waiting list for the Sigma brush set. The glosses look good but I'm more of a lipstick girl. However, once they are in front of me I may change my mind :)

Luscious Locks for £1.95

2009-06-30T11:12:00.000-07:00

I change the shampoo, conditioner and hair treatments I use on a monthly basis, but the Boots Coconut and Almond Oil Hair Mask deserves a special mention. This weekend I subjected my hair to muchos straightening and curling which left my hair extremely dry and feeling rough and bitty on the ends.

While in Boots yesterday I bypassed the other more expensive hair treatments and chose a Boots own brand, something I rarely do

The tub is larger in size than other more expensive leading brands and also up to 6 times cheaper.

I washed my hair as normal and applied a generous amount to my hair, starting about 2 inches from the roots working it through my hair to the ends. I then wrapped my hair in a towel and left it for 10 minutes before washing it off

I was left with visibly smoother, sleeker, shinier hair. The ends felt a lot smoother and my hair felt soft to the touch. An added bonus was the lovely smell.

A must try product for all heat styling addicts.

Rose Romance nothing appealed to me.

What products do you think Mac are missing?
I’m not sure really, they are always coming out with new things.

Hi guys, this is my first ever blog post and it's completely none makeup related. There are a few bloggers at the moment who are showing their love and appreciation of THE BOYFRIEND, so I thought I would introduce you to mine :)

His name is Anthony and we met (believe it or not) on MySpace!! Oh yes, the internet is most definately the future!! We have been together for two and a half years and have a lovely home together on the river Tyne.

Anth is my one and only and hopefully by the end of this year my Fiance :)

We have so much fun together and spend most of the time laughung and joking around, making each other laugh. We are truly made for one another and I love him with all my heart :)
