NARS Sheer Glow Foundation | Review

Good Evening!

I recently went to London with a friend and whilst there the one thing I wanted to get was Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. I have wanted to try this for a while but there is no counter near me and didn't want to risk choosing a colour online!
Whilst in Harrods, on our last day in London I went to the Nars counter but there was no assistant around so I was unable to get colour matched. Luckily there was a Space.NK opposite Harrods so I went in, the lady that colour matched me was lovely and so helpful! She matched me with the colour Deauville. After using this foundation for about a month I have fallen in love with it.



What Nars Say About The Foundation:

"A glowing, natural radiant finish foundation with sheer and buildable coverage that immaculately evens skin tone. Replete with skincare benefits and the NARS Complexion Brightening Formula, it leaves skin hydrated, more luminous, softer and smoother. Used daily, Sheer Glow Foundation improves the skin's brightness and texture."

This Foundation has no SPF which I personally prefer, especially if your wearing it over the festive season as a no SPF foundation is great for flash photography. I found it looked very natural on the skin but was still a medium/full coverage, you could layer this up to get more coverage but it never goes cake-y and feels really light on the skin. The silky texture makes it really easy to apply and I think it looks really nice if applied with your fingers rather than a brush! I was really impressed with this foundation. I find it a struggle to find foundations that don't cling to my dry patchy skin and this foundation felt very hydrating. It comes in 20 different shades.


There are two downfalls to this product. Number one it doesn't come with a pump. However if this really bothers you then you can get one for £3.00 on the NARS website. Number two is the price it retails at £31 which isn't outrageous for a decent high-end foundation but it is still quite steep!

A Mini Haul | Boots

Hello My Lovelies!

Today I popped into Boots and picked up a few things, I thought I would share them with you. My local Boots currently have lots of Stila items reduced, I am guessing this is due to the store no longer stocking Stila.

I managed to find a smudge pot in the colour Kitten I have wanted to try this for a long time as I have seen lots of great reviews on it. This normal retails at £13.00 so when I saw it was only £6.00 I had to have it. 
I love the colour of this it is a golden, champagne colour, I think it will be lovely as a base or even look great on its own across the lid.




I then noticed there were a few of the individual Stila eye shadows and the colour oasis stood out to me straight away I am obsessed with golden eye shadows and this one is perfect!
This retails at £12.00 and was also just £6.00!



Finally I needed a new liquid liner as I am running low. I was going to pick up the one I usually get which is L'Oreal Superliner but I then saw the Soap And Glory Supercat which was slightly cheaper than the L'Oreal liner so I thought I'd get it instead. 
Although I haven't used this yet it looks good.
