Friday Favourites #37

I haven't done a Friday Favourites for 2 months now! I've missed it!

I've been struggling to find a decent platform to create them on when I'm on my MAC, so if any of you have any tips then send them over. I'm currently using SketchBookExpress. 

So I've been looking a lot on TopShop recently and I think it's because the styles they have currently are very much up my street. They have a lot of the stuff I wouldn't ever pull off but I've spotted quite a few items I'd like to add to my wardrobe including this gorgeous Paisley Print Robe, which I think is actually meant to be for bed time, but I love it. I can see this being both dressed up like the look I've put together or dressed down with a white cami and jeans. It's such a staple piece and I want it in my life so bad! 

Maybe once my MOT is over and done with next month, I'll treat myself :)

1. TOPSHOP Paisley Print Robe

MAC Prep + Prime Samples

If you missed out on the latest MAC sample giveaway then you're going to hate this post. 

For MAC's Facebook fans, they gave away mini samples of their Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage. All you had to do was enter your email and address to get your hands on one. 

This little sample holds quite a lot in it to be honest. After a few uses I'm really loving how my skin feels after using it. It kind of leaves it with a powdery but not powdery feel, so a really soft finish. My make up looks pretty amazing after I've used it too, so it does what it says on the tin. 

MAC are usually out of my budget (waahhhhh) but I think I would actually invest in this. You don't have to use a lot, which means it will last for ages and it gives you the results you want. So why not eh?

e.l.f Cosmetics Los Cabos Baked Bronzer Review

I can't wait to go on holiday and get my skin all tanned. I think we can all agree that after a fews years of no sunbathing, we can go a little stir crazy. That is exactly how I'm feeling this year and I need to get myself on a plane to somewhere magnificently sunny, pronto. 

So when I received this item within the Mystery collection from e.l.f cosmetics, I was more than chuffed. 

The Los Cabos Bronzer has everything that you would want from a bronzer. It's got great pigment, with a burnt tan shade that will suit any sunny glow. As well as being slightly shimmery, which will look perfect on your cheeks and collar bones for contouring. I can't wait to give this bronzer a proper use once my tan is through. 

Loveable Luxuries Palette from Primark

I love Primark, for many many reasons. 

But one of the main reasons I love Primark, is that it always surprises me. I always find something that I didn't go in there for.. and it's never an expensive tangent either. 

So my bonus buy this time round was the Loveable Luxuries Eye Palette for a whopping... £2.50! 

It has 8 very pretty, very girly and summery shades within them ranging from a vibrant glittery purple to a cool, angelic green. Considering this was £2.50, the quality of these are lovely too. They go on really well and blend beautifully. Really pleased with this and how cute is the packaging?

Motivate Me Monday

This week is a new start! I've already started it pretty well by switching my wholemeal toast breakfast for half a grapefruit. Salad for lunch and probably something equally as healthy for dinner. It's a new day and I am ready for some fitspo!

MAC Mineralise Foundation Review

The other night I visited my friend Rachel's house, which always involves some pretty tasty food, a lot of chatting and, in this case, an unexpected little gift for me.

Rachel loves MAC, she's a self confessed MACaholic and I think for as long as I've known her she's always adored their lippies and foundations. But for some reason, her latest purchase wasn't sitting well with her. The MAC Mineralise Foundation, she told me, made her skin look shiny and over caked. So she gladly handed it over to me to have a try. Which was always going to go down well.

The next day, instead of picking up my L'Oreal CC Cream I opted for the MAC. I immediately noticed a difference in how heavy this was compared to my CC Cream. But that was always going to happen wasn't it; with the cc cream being moisturiser based n'all. 

It was the perfect colour for my skin, I've not been wearing as much fake tan recently so this is quite a pale shade compared to what I've used before. It covered all of my blemishes and I didn't need to use any concealer because the MAC foundation hid it all for me. 

Once powder was on it looked great, with a lot more coverage than usual. However, maybe it's just my preference, but it's too heavy for me to wear every day. Sorry MAC, but I think you are far too fancy for daily use and you will be put aside for those evenings when I want a little more glam. 

Does anybody else find this with MAC Foundations?
