Currently Testing #1


Apologies for a bit of a blogging break from my end, the lighting has been abismal which has meant that I haven't been able to get the photos that I want (and I've slightly dubious about these ones...).

But anyways, I've been testing quite a lot of new makeup so decided to do a bit of a first impressions type review.

Glossier Skin Perfecting Tint is something I've been wanting for ages but they don't ship to the UK but I managed to get hold of it as it seems ideal for those no makeup days or when I go on holiday and really don't want to wear full skin makeup. I have the shade light and I definitely was worried it was going to be too pale but because it's so sheer, it's perfect and doesn't appear too light on my skin. It's very sheer and glowy so not ideal if you have breakouts but otherwise it covers any redness you might have!

Then onto another light base which is the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser which was definitely chosen in mind with my Sunny christmas holiday. At the moment, I am liking it. For uni, I tend to opt for basic tinted moisturisers and this is perfect. It has quite a good medium coverage but definitely seems buildable. It has SPF which is a bonus and so far seems to be ideal.

And finally, a lippy! I've recently become obsessed with the MAC Matte Lipsticks and really like the formula so when the shade Diva arrived on my desk, I was thrilled. It's your stereotypical deep berry red but definitely has more of a purple tone which is quite different for me but so far I'm loving it. 

What are you currently testing?

  2. hehe I totally agree with the stupid lighting (or lack thereof)..makes getting good photos a pain!
    Diva is one of my favorite, though I don't use it often enough..I am on the look for a tinted moisturizer for a friend who doesn't want to hide her freckles..would you recommend the NARS or is it too much coverage?

    1. I love it! It's quite sheer and is buildable- i think the glossier might be the best option as it's incredibly sheer yet removes redness x

  4. That NARS tinted moisturizer in on my radar! I know what you mean about bad lighting, it's been pouring rain where I live for weeks and that ruins my natural sunlight for photos. Ugh!
