My Foundations Collection

Hello again and welcome back to my blog!

This week I have done something a little different and created a post dedicated to my foundation collection.

Now I used to be the sort of lady who stuck to one foundation and used it year round and year after year but after starting my blog last year I have encouraged myself to be a little more adventurous and try some new products on the market to see how they weighed up.

My collection currently contains:

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation - This is a fairly new foundation to my collection. Now I love the finish it gives, its quite high coverage but it doesnt tend to last well on my skin during the Winter months (when my skin overcompensates and tends to get much oilier). This one I will be using again in the Spring time :)

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation - This is very similar to the Lasting Finish from Rimmel. I would say that this offers slightly less coverage, but again it doesn't go well on my skin in the cooler months. For me, another one for Spring/Summer.

Maxfactor Lasting Performance - My favourite all year round foundation. It copes with my oily patches as well as the dryer patches on my face really well. This has been my go to foundation for years now.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation - This one is lovely! I love it's scent and the finish it gives isn't too heavy, nor too light. It glides on really well and all in all it's a good all year round foundation.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation - I love the scent of this foundation also, it has a hint of orange in it and a slight shimmer which makes it perfect for Summer when you want a more dewy and sun kissed look.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post for this week. If you have any ideas on what you would like me to review or share next please feel free to let me know in the comments below :)

My Favourite Autumn Nailpolish's

So this week I thought I would carry on with the Autumn theme and show you my favourite Autumn nail polishes. This post was actually requested by Joanne, so thank you Joanne!

Now I have a fair few nail polishes to say the least, I have always enjoyed doing my nails and picking out the new shades on the high street. To keep this post from being too long I've picked my top 10 autumn nail polishes.

Avon Gel Finish Polish in Mauvelous - This is a recent addition, the colour glides on so easily and is highly pigmented so you can get away with only one coat.

Barry M Nail Paint in Berry Cosmo - I love the deep purple shade of this polish. Barry M polishes are brilliant as they have great consistency and the brushes make it easy to paint your nails.

Barry M Nail Paint in Raspberry - This is a gorgeous light red/purple shade. Perfect for the cooler, dark evenings in Autumn.

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Pomegrante - This is a more vibrant red, defiantly one to pick if you're after getting your hands noticed.

Barry M Nail Paint in Red Glitter - This is my favourite nail polish for Christmas, it's sharp red shade and glitter sums up the season perfectly.

Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Crush- I bought this shade thinking it would be a little more red than brown, but have been surprised with the outcome. It's a deep brown shade but the matte finish gives it a real classic finish, lovely! :)

No 7 Stay Perfect Polish in Damson Dream - I bought this nail polish years ago but around this time of year I love to get it out and show the world it's glory. It's a beautiful deep, red shade with a slight shimmer too.

Models Own Polish in Bettlejuice Purple Blue - This is a daring polish, it's a little funky as it changes colour in the light. It has hints of green, blue and purple making your eyes always take a peak at your nails. I love wearing this one for nights out.

Maxfactor Nail Polish in Fantasy Fire - This is a slightly brighter shade for Autumn, a light purple. I love that this too has flecks of other shades that shine through. My only problem with the polish is the brush, it's just too small making it time consuming to apply.

Barry M Nail Paint in Bright Purple - Another slightly brighter shade for Autumn, but this time a darker purple. Lovely for a bit of a brighter shade this time of year.

Here are some little swatches of each shade so you can get a good idea on what the colours are like on :)

I hope you enjoyed my post, do you have any Autumn favourites?
