Review - Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

So I have seen this brush being used by a lot of bloggers (such as http://www.missladysee.blogspot.ie/, http://www.zoella.co.uk/, http://www.tanyaburr.co.uk/) and I really wanted to try it!

 I have never really used this type of brush before, I usually stick to the typical makeup brushes. I have wanted to try a stippling brush, but when I seen this being mentioned quite often I was curious to try. 

I have only used this a few times but I, so far, am really happy with it! It buffs the foundation into my skin giving me a more flawless finish. It is so easy to blend liquid foundation with this brush! I find with regular brushes, it takes a lot more building up to create that flawless look. It is very reasonably priced at £9.99. I have only tried this with my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation so far (this is my usual everyday makeup as I love the lightweight feel for daytime) I am interested to try this with some other foundations I have to see the result (such as MAC studio fix and Esteé Lauder Double Wear) 

So I will keep you updated ♥

Colour My Wardrobe

So I thought it was time I updated my wardrobe for the summer seasons. I am a fan of my darker shades especially for nights out so I thought it was time to add a splash of colour to the mix!
First thing I bought was a monochrome skirt from River Island which I fell in love with once I seen it! Monochrome is very in an the minute, I had tried the shorts recently brought out in the Rihanna collection but I am not really one for shorts so I was delighted to find this skirt! I found it to be quite dull with a black top so I bought the coral crop top to go with it it but I am on the search for a cobalt blue top because I think it would be ideal!
I also bought a printed dress from River Island in a denim-like and black colour. It has quite a light material and nips in perfectly at the waist with a small capped sleeve. I love the print of this dress it is very detailed and sits perfectly.
The next outfit is entirely from Topshop which is one of my favourite places to shop! I got this muted purple skater skirt which is perfect to wear day or night with the versatile colour and light weight material. I chose two tops to wear with this skirt for the summer season. Both are floral print, one is a more fitted bralet style and the other is a light loosely cut top with a few buttons down the centre. The cut out detail at the back is my favourite detail on this item. There is a selection of colour throughout each top with splashes of purple to tie in with the skirt but this also makes it very easy to match with various items in my wardrobe!
The last item I bought is possibly my favourite item of all my purchases! This was a very reasonably priced dress from Miss Selfridge. This is floral print long fitted dress and I wore this item with a pair of orange wedges and also added some orange lipstick to carry some colour through as the colours are quite pale.
That's all my new items, so I look forward to wearing these very soon!
