Visiting The Past.

Yesterday I woke in a terrible mood. But went to bed in an amazing mood.
I came back from college, chilled in the sun on my roof until me and my house mates all cooked dinner together.  I was in desperate need of social interaction, so this cheered me up so much. I watched a bit of TV, did a little work, and I received a text from Heather saying she was going to Tesco in half an hour if I wanted to join. I said yes. I was in the mood for baking. However, we went to a really small Tesco that had barely anything. Baking a cake from scratch wasn't going to be an option today. So I bought a Betty Crocker Brownie Mix, I've had this before and know it's yummy so I thought I'd find something I could add to it. I got some cooking chocolate to melt and spread on the top and two Flake bars to sprinkle. It all went smoothly and in about 45 minutes the Brownies were done. I wanted to the chocolate to properly set though, so nobody has touched it yet!! Whilst waiting for the chocolate to set, I went to join my house mates and one of our other friends, Steve, in Phoebes room where they were all just chilling. 

Phoebe is a Dance major at Uni, a past time I personally miss so so much. She had a pair of ballet shoes on her floor and I enquired as to whether she has pointe shoes here in Lincoln. And she did. Unfortunately, they were a size 2 and half. Ouch! But I put them on nonetheless. Just my toes were in but the ribbons kept my foot in place. It has been years since I have stood en pointe so I was gentle, took it slow. My ankles/feet/legs are so weak these days I didn't want to push and end up with a breakage straight away. 

I can't even describe to you the feeling that rushed through me when I stood up onto pointe. It made me want my own shoes that fit perfectly so I can prance around and be happy! 

The temptation to buy a pair is a little too much.
Me and Phoebe have decided to go to a ballet class next week, for old times sake. hah.

College Work Related Post.

Which one?

Tucked in or not?
Also there is a pair of calf length trousers that goes with this.

Foundation Revelation.

Okay, so the point of this long over due post is, I change my mind on foundations all the time.

I bought a new one whilst in Paris and I was totally in love with it. That was, until, it made me break out. -_-

Like really really bad, I get spots, but I don't get full on face full of spots like this. Luckily, my Mother is a make up artist and she came to the rescue. 

She told me to trust her, so I did. She bought me this face wash from lush which would help clear up my spots and then gave me this. 

Its a pure mineral foundation. My first thoughts were that it wouldnt be a heavy enough coverage for me, it wouldn't eliminate and dark patchy areas, this is something I would normally have put OVER my liquid foundation.  But she said to trust her so I did. She also gave me the bareMinerals primer to assist. 

So this is me with no make up on, and no primer on. Just skin.

I have very grey dull skin with patchy red areas, not really a pretty sight. 

This is me after using the Primer AND the mineral foundation. 

It is such a good coverage. I also have no concealer on here. I think the picture show it best, I couldn't tell you how it works but it does, and it is SO much better for your skin, it lets it breathe doesnt clog your pores, its a miracle worker, and this along with the lush 'Angels on Bare Skin' cleanser has made my skin clear up no end.

Finally, this is me with Macs Blush creme (their old shade of lady blush) a touch of Mally Mascara and Revlon lipstick.

Everyone honestly needs to give it a go. Go to one of their stands, usually in House of Fraser or somewhere similar, get them to test it on you before buying, but for daytime it is absolutely perfect.
For night time, I stick to trusty old Mac Liquid foundation.
