Totalement Bleuets Face Mask Reveiw

This week I needed my skin to be extra nice as I had an event and dinner to go to so I thought I would try this face mask outits French and you can get these from most shops like superdrug or supermarkets that sell skincare items.  So this is how the mask looked when o out it on, kinda similar to the photo shown 
It recommended 5-10 mins for this mask, I expected it to either go hard or become a peel off texture however it stayed slightly moistest. By 5 mins I was having to wash it off because o could feel my face becoming sensitive, as I was washing my face I noticed red sports had appeared on my forehead and my nose which is u normal for my nose. These spots where also really sore. I followed up this by using facial to not and my lush moisturiser (see previous post for this Reveiw)
In future I won't be using this product as my skin it just to sensitive for it.😔 

Lush Celestial Facial Moisturiser

So right now I'm having a break from writing assignments and I though I'd spend it wisely by reviewing my moisturiser☺️
I got this as a present for my birthday recently, as everybody know I LOVE lush! 
It's your typical lush packaging, this moisturiser is for sensitive skin and contains; vanilla water, almond oil, almond milk, glycierine, fair trade organic cocoa butter, fresh dove orchid extract, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid and anise alcohol. 
So you can see it s typical white thick cream and as you can guess it smells like almonds. The texture of this is like a very light scrub that smooths in to your skin.
Although this is more sensitive skin I like to only put a small amount of as it is quite heavy but it spreads very well. The overall  result of this is that it works really well, my skin feels nice and fresh after using this and doesn't break out :)

I love hats!

I got a beauty of a fedora hat from H&M yesterday and I'm in love 😍
I love a hat because it make my extreamly thick and only stays stright for 10 mins hair look soooo much better 
I can't wait for the spring/summer time (which lasts about 2 minutes in Scotland)  when it's less windy to wear this without having to hold on to it ☺️ I also love black hats because they go with everything and I wear black 99% of the time!

Day light results for lipstick concealer!

Carrying on from my post last night here is my day light photos of lipstick concealer!

Still pretty happy with the results. I was worried at first I might end up looking like I've been punched going to uni, but my eyes are looking pretty clear!

Lipstick concealer!!

Ok, ok! I've been wanting to try this for a while and after watching grav3yardgirl on YouTube I decided to try it for myself! 
I an using L'Oreal Colour Riche, Shade 373 which is magnetic coral.
So the way I've seen girls doing it is by applying lipstick under your eye as if it is a concealer( actual concealer is applied later) and it should look like this
I should also point out, my flash didn't go off its night time and I've had a very long day in the pouring rain so my completion is horendouse😔 so let's just ignore that and focus on the lipstick! I have blended it around the edges just because I do this with concealer normally.
This is how it looks with my concealer, foundation and a little bit of transparent power over.
 
Im so surprised with the results! As someone who ALWAYS had huge dark circles under my eyes, this has worked so well! I am going to start using this in my make up routine from now on and I will post a follow up photo of it in the day light:) 
 

FREE PERIOD!

So since starting university I have joined a group called Caledonian Women. Now I know the word feminist freaks a lot of people out, but the work this group do is fantastic! They are raising awareness throughout our university about issues such as drinks being spikes in night, creating a gender and sexuality safe space And recently campaigning against the 5% tax on sanitary products (in the UK not entirely sure if the USA have the same problem). Tampons and other items are classed as a luxury products but men's razors and exotic meats aren't? There is a huge pation going on in the UK to change this (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11465037/Period-Tampon-Tax-George-Osborne-stop-taxing-our-bloody-periods.html) (https://www.change.org/p/george-osborne-stop-taxing-periods-period?recruiter=243678881&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_page&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-custom_msg
I'm quite proud to be apart of this group, I all women are feminist wither they would like to admit it for not, that bad name it has now days isn't what it's about! It's about women being equal. That means being allowed to walk down streets at night alone not in fear, being paid the same about as our male colleagues and not being told we are up set becaus it's 'our time of the month'! 
This post is quite different from my normal but I felt like sharing this with you guys :) 

p.s, the subject of consent makes people feel akward, so I like wearing my badge because the awkwardness proves that there is still a major issue!

Limecrime experience

Okay guys, I love my limecrime velvetine lipstick so much.
But two weeks ago I see lime crime post on Instagram warning buyers that their account had been hacked and debit/credit card details had been stolen.
Now although I live in the UK I was still in panic mode and had to get my boyfriend to cancel his bank card(he bought it for my birthday) and in so glad I did as last week a girl I know who lives in Glasgow had £412 taken from her account and it could have been more if she had more money in her account. 
Now I looked in to this before I heard about this girl to find out if it was affecting  people in the UK  and a came across a post on Reddit where it reviled Limecrime knew 5 days before alerting people this was happing and they removed a post that contained comments from customers warning people what had happened 
It also pointed out that  in the past they have had similar problems!
So this is a post to anyone considering buying limecrime, there are other online shops that stock it, from now on I'm going to use these and only use paypal as they were unable to take money if it was done though a payp l account.
I really wished I'd known all this stuff before I made the purchase as it cause me mass panic.

Matte Primer by L'Oreal Paris

Recently I've decided to change primer. As someone who has very sensitive skin and quite oily T zones I've tired to look around for the best primer that won't upset my skin. I first tried Bourjouis's Happy Light Serum Lumiere. 
I used it for a week and decided I needed to change as this is a very thin liquid with a strong perfum smell, that didn't work very well at keeping my foundation on for longer. It left part of my skin feeling quite dry before I put on my make up. 
I've always liked L'Oreal products and I seen the Infallible Mattifying Base on offer on Asos for £6.99 (normally only £7.99) so I decided there would be no harm in trying it as L'Oreal products have never caused any problems for my skin.
It comes in a 35ml tube, I though this wouldn't last for long but it's incredible how far a little bit of this product can spread! 
This much could cover my whole face! As you can see it's a gel like substance that is very light weight. I like my skin to feel moisturised from a primer and although this is a gell formula my skin feels as if it's  a moisturiser I've put on it. When it comes to foundation this product keeps my foundation (Revlon colour stay) on all day! I can put it on at 7am go out to uni and shopping and come home at 5pm and my foundation is still intact and looking great. It does mattify my foundation which it's really great as I have oily T zones. Over all I would seriously recomend this product to any one! It's not to expensive compared to other Primers (including L'Oreal studio secret primer) and it's very similar texture to Smash Box's primer.
You honestly can't go wrong with a bit of L'Oreal! ❤️

New tattoo!

So on Wednesday I got two new tattos ❤️
Two 'unalome' symboles, which are buhddist symbol for the path to enlightenment. I'm in love with these as they cover scars from operations I had on my tendons two years ago.
Not the worst scars but I was really unhappy with them being so noticeable. 
Im back in on the 25th of March to get karma symbol done on my ribs. Can you tell I'm quite in to buhddist beliefs ?
