My sleeping pattern is all over the place these days. I think you can tell I have not had a lot of sleep in this post. I am thinking of investing in YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch, but wasn't sure if it was worth the money? Have you tried it or have any other recommendations for my giant bags?

prime time

I hate how my make up runs off my face, pretty much as soon as I leave the house. I've heard a lot about primers, but I've not used one until now. I got this from my nan for Christmas (bless her!) and I love it so much I thought I'd share it with you.


I moisturise first and use one pump which I find covers my whole face. It leaves my face soft, smooth and even. I use a powder foundation (liquid foundation make my face shiny!) and I find the primer holds it really well - and for much longer then usual.

I'm trying to expand my make up collection and I am pleased that I have added this amazing item.

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer - £19 and worth every penny.

heaven and earth

To be honest, when it comes to make up I am pretty clueless. I have a small make up bag with mascara, blusher and concealer in and that is pretty much it. I really would love to know how to do my make up properly and I need to expand my collection.

I have seen some good reviews on other peoples blogs about the Heaven and Earth Eye Palette by MUA and I decided start my expansion with some eyeshadow. I looked in my local Superdrug and I couldn't find it anywhere - they're good like that. After putting my dilemma on to twitter, the absolutely lovely Rebecca said she would pick one up for me and send it to me! Thank you so much Rebecca :)





I am really pleased that I got this palette. I really like all the colours and I think they stay on incredibly well and for a long time. For £4 you really can't go wrong and I would highly recommend this palette.
