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 :)

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 horendouse๐Ÿ˜” 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:)

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! ❤️

What is in the post today!?

Mac came in the post today, that's what!
This is my first time ever ordering from
Mac and man, I was excited! I tested out samples of the foundation before to see what suited me the best. Studio sculpt fix gives a medium coverage that can be built up for a more going out look. It's light weight and doesn't make you feel as if you have to much make up on. It also has SPF 15 so it's great for the summer time!
My lipstick is in the colour 'Faux' a slightly  darker shade that 'Myth', which is good for me as I like a slightly darker nutural lipstick :)  
Feeling like its Christmas today with this delivery!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ

I'm really glad me and
My sister are at an age where we can buy each other amazing gifts. So now I'm buzzing to spend my gift card! The only mac product I have is blusher (my sister also bought me this at Christmas) I've never heard much about specific Mac products just the usual hype from everyone about there kylie Jenner lipsticks. However student loans and presents are soon going to make my Mac collection expand in the near future. First on the list is foundation and lip liner ๐Ÿ˜.
