Hello lovelies,

Today I'm going to be reviewing the above, if you hadn't guessed already.

I purchased this BB Cream a couple of weeks ago, because I really felt like my skin needed a break. I don't tend to wear much foundation but my skin just hasn't been great recently, and no matter how well I clean it and how many face masks, face scrubs etc I use, I still seem to be prone to breakouts. SO my thinking was that if I reverted back to using a BB Cream instead of a full base foundation, then perhas my skin may improve.

I have to say, that no such improvement has occurred yet, I still have bad skin, however I think that'll come and go, and unfortunately all I can do is be patient, keep a good facial regime going and hope for the best.

I do however seem to be getting on well with this product. I love Rimmel and have used their BB Creams before and loved them so I knew that trying this product would be somewhat successful.

It's really creamy and has a pleasant, fresh smell to it. I tend to apply it with a beauty blender and then apply a layer of powder afterward. It leaves a really delicate finish and minimises pores really nicely. I've also found that it's relatively long lasting.

I'm one of those people who touches their face a lot (probably the biggest cause of breakouts), so I'll sit at my desk with my chin in the palm of my hands or I'll sit tapping my cheeks. Basically, make-up doesn't stay on me very well, I either smudge it off with my hands or my combination skins makes it both dry up and melt off. Fun times!

However despite this, I have found that Rimmel BB Creams are better at staying on, and I think because it gives a good coverage I feel more motivated to try and avoid touching my face, so that helps!


Overall I'm pleased with this product and will continue to use it! I'd definiotely reccommend trying Rimmel BB Creams as they haven't really let me down yet. They also do them in different finishes so if you want something more matte, they have that!

Hope you enjoyed this little review, I have plenty more coming so keep your eyes peeled.

Hello readers,

Yes... tis me.

So recently I was lucky enough to get a brand new camera. Those who have been following the blog for a while may know that I love taking photos and I did study photography, although I am by no means an amazing photographer - but I do love snapping away when I can.

So, I thought I'd make a promise to myself. To never lose the ability to take nice photos - I put a lot of work into my course and I'd hate to lose my skill, and, to not just sit around when I could be exploring something, and to use these two things together.

So last weekend, I began. I took my wonderful new Canon camera out with me for a little stroll and I was incredibly lucky. Thinking I'd perhaps be able to sneak a good photo of a duck in, I was over the moon (quite literally) when I was able to take a photo of an enormous buzzard flying overhead and take an incredible (if I do say so) photo of the moon! It may not look amazing from a distance but if you zoom in you can actually see the craters.

This had me thinking. Sometimes we take for granted a lot. We often think we can't do things because of not having the accessibility. I often thought this about photography. I thought 'Oh there isn't anything interesting to take photos of'. But I was wrong, photography is much more about how you take a photo than what you take a photo of.

And so I thought 'challenge accepted'. I am now going to try and make the most of having such a wonderful area to live in, and having a wonderful camera. I also feel I need more fresh air and so this means there are no downsides really to my new plan.

So hopefully this will also mean more lifestyle posts - I know you like them - and better photos! Yippee!

So I pose to you this - try and get out this weekend, even if for a little walk, I know the weather it shite but try and find something beautiful, you never know you may find something you're surprised with.
 
How beautiful are these swans?

Hello beauties

Just a little beauty review for you all seeing as I'm a terrible blogger at the moment.

I cannot express how much I am loving LUSH at the moment. It just smells TOO good.

I bought myself some Snow Fairy shower gel a while back as I'd used it before and loved the smell. I can't quite describe what the scent reminds me of, but I think it reminds me of a sweet that I used to like.

It, therefore, makes you smell like a sweet, which is pretty much what I want out of a shower gel. It's fresh and delicious and makes my Monday morning just that little bit easier.

Because I loved it so much, I was quick to get some more in the Boxing Day sale - although I believe I got it the day after Boxing Day. And I got it in a bigger bottle so to last even longer.

LUSH shower gels are amazing, they last so long because you only need a small amount to get a really good lather.

I also love the fact that LUSH is against animal testing - I mean who wouldn't love that?! But I think it is great to find a range of products that tick all the boxes and are also good for the world around us.

I'm interested to find out what products my readers like, so I've set some questions for you to think about below - so please comment either on here or tweet me your answers!

I love getting to know my readers.
