Ideal Home Show - Beauty

Hey ladies, A few days  ago me and my sister thought we would buy tickets for the ideal home show, at the Earls Court exhibition. I thought I would bring my camera along with me so I can blog. When I got there I then noticed how 'homey' it actually was. With sofas everywhere and kitchens everywhere. I didn't want to bore you guys with pictures like that so I didn't take photos of them, also my blog isn't about DIY for home really. I then noticed that they had an upstairs, with the sign women on the stairs I made my way up stairs. I come across beauty things. This is when I took out my camera. They had a massive area for Benefit they had some amazing deals like 10% off and also they had a discount on everything. I was so tempted to buy the They're real lashes mascara. However I didn't. They was also doing free full make up looks too. I also spotted the Elemis counter where they were giving people facials and hand treatments. They also had a Yankee Candle counter. They didn't have many candles left. So they gave me a discount code to use online.











 I then spotted a bath bomb stand. I knew I had to buy something, they had so many different coloured bath bombs and different sizes some were in heart shapes that looked so pretty. I bought a few, if you would like to see them I can do a blogpost on them. They had some amazing prices, starting from £1 to around £4 which is reasonable for bath bombs. Some of them you can use more then once. They have all different scents like, strawberry, lavender, floral scents. All their products are allergy free. The best thing is they have an website here, so go check out there stuff. I know i'll be buying more.

Drug store VS High end concealer







MAC Concealer VS Superdrug 2true 3 in 1 concealer. First I bought this Superdrug concealer for only £1.99, for a few days I really liked it, it covered the bags under my eyes. Its also a very good eye primer so I put it on my eye lid then use my eye shadow. I find that it didn't cover my blemishes. The applicator is like a lipgloss, which I didn't really like, its like putting the dirt back into the bottle and then back onto your face.  But then not long after I was using it I felt like it wasn't doing me any good. The concealer started to crease after a few hours and I started to get dry patches under my eyes and I knew it was from this concealer. So then I took a trip to MAC and one of the helpful workers tried this Studio Finish concealer on me and matched me with a shade, and I was amazed by how much it covered up my bags and blemishes. It was abit more expensive then the Superdrug one at £13.50 but for what it does the price is cool for me, and I know it will go along way. It doesn't crease after hours of wearing it. Its in a little tub which I like its so small and easy to carry around with me for touch ups. So overall I think the MAC studio finish concealer wins. What is your fav concealer?

Benefit Coralista






I bought this blush a while ago as you can see 'I've hit pan' as you would say. I really like this Coral sheer blush, its got glitter init but it doesn't really show up on the skin, it gives you that healthy glow. I love the packaging, smell and finish of this product. It comes with a little brush but I don't often use it but it is quite cute. The way it goes on your skin is what it looks like in the box, a coral pinkish sheer tone. I cant wait to use this in the summer hopefully when I've got a little tan. I want to buy more of these Benefit blush boxes, I'm impressed with this one I knew Benefit wouldn't let me down. The box is small but at the same time its bulky so takes up abit of space in my make up bag.

MAC HAUL






I've always been thinking about converting to MAC and today was the day :).. my normal foundation was coming to an end so I had been looking around and alot of people recommended MAC Studio Fix spf 15. I went to my local MAC counter and asked for help.. they were really helpful and done a full face of make up on me, which was great. Then the worker used this concealer on me.. called Studio Finish concealer spf35, which I then fell in love with so I had to buy. I also bought a pump, because I personally find it much easier using a pump. 

The Studio fix foundation is abit dewy.. but looks amazing on oily skin doesn't make you look to shinny. My skin is oily and it works great on my skin. It feels very light on the face which is great.. I don't like the cakey feeling. Would make dry skin look really healthy and glowing. The concealer what can I say.. amazing to cover up them bags under your eyes and any break outs you may have. I will let you all know if I have any break outs with these products. 
You can buy online or go into your local counter.
Thank you -x-
