NYX Haul Review

NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation
This is my favourite day time foundation, I wear this day to day going to work and what I love about it is the coverage it gives me and the fact that it’s long lasting. I do have to wear a primer underneath to get the full days wear. The name states its Matte but not flat, but I don’t find this foundation mattifying at all, if anything it leaves a dewy type finish on the skin and because I like a matte finish on my skin, I do have to mattify it with a powder. I wish there were more shades in this foundation.

NYX HD Concealer
I use this concealer for under eyes, to cover up dark circles, the concealer is quite lightweight and I have often read that it’s a cheaper dupe for the NARS Radiant Concealer, it feels really light on the under eye area and give good coverage, however, I felt that around 4-5 hours later the layer started to become more transparent and started to fade away. I do like this product but, I just don’t love it.

NYX Liquid Illuminator
This product intrigued me a lot, I had read loads about it, and having never owned a highlighter, I decided I would give it ago. I think I'm going to be a big fan! I use the highlighter all the time now and has become a part of my daily make up routine. I applied the highlighter on the spots that the natural light would hit my face over my foundation and I felt that it gave me a lovely light glow. I applied literally the TINIEST amount, I didn’t even squeeze the tube just rubbed off the excess and that was honestly enough.  There is a darker highlighter which is suitable for darker skin tones.

All in all, I can safely say I am now a huge fan of NYX products and look forward to my collection growing.

Berlin Day 2

Hello Jelly Beans, So todays post is going to be short and sweet, simply because I visited one place and then had to come home due to feeling a little poorly. So first thing was breakfast. Being summoned to the breakfast room this sight greeted me. Freshly squeezed juices, different teas and coffee. Doughnuts, croissants, toast, muffins both sweet and savoury, a huge selection of cereal and of course a fried breakfast. I went for some simple toast and a cuppa tea. Before heading out in the taxi to my next location to explore.   So I hear you all shout "where did you go today"? Well my dear friends, I shall tell you. Today I took a trip to the iconic landmark that is. The Berlin Wall. Well what can I tell you about this wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large ...

Ford Street Car 1.6 Luxury - Cute & Affordable

Good Evening Everyone. Today I thought that I would start something slightly different as a running series. Car/vehicle reviews. Now I absolutely love my cars and vehicles so thought I would kick off this series with my very own love....The Ford Street Ka!! As much a fashion accessory as a mode of transport, the Street Ka is cute enough to have character, cheap enough to be bought by a single girl about town and sensible enough to serve a useful purpose while it looks good. The solid underpinnings of the car have been stiffened and tweaked to release a wee bit more performance, but this is not a vehicle with any serious sporting pretensions. It's eminently chuckable, but the limitations of the 1.6-litre engine prevent even clog-footed drivers getting themselves into trouble. Around town it's at its best, darting in and out of traffic, nipping into tight parking spaces and performing neat little U-turns. On the motorway it gets a bit too talkative but is f...
