Tarte: Rainforest of the Sea Foundation



For a few months now I've been testing out the new Tarte: Rainforest of the Sea Foundation. 

I've been using this as my everyday foundation - before I was using the Chanel foundation and I felt that it was too heavy on the face for everyday ware and also very expensive to be replacing every second month.

So far, I've been loving this. Its so light on the skin - it gives you a very natural glow and the coverage is really good as well. It gives a good amount of coverage but it also very buildable.

I use this with my Beauty Blender and I find this helps with the natural finish of this foundation. It buffs into the skin very easily. I have tried putting this on with a foundation brush but don't think it gives as natural a finish as using the beauty blender. I found it left a very streaky greasy feeling to my skin that i do not get with the beauty blender.



I also love this foundation as the smallest amount goes a long way. A few pumps of this and it can easily cover the entire face - meaning that it lasts forever! It comes in six shades so covers everyone!

The wear of this foundation is also really good - the longest I've worn it for is around 6-8 hours and it really does last well on the face before it begins to melt a little around the nose and goes a little patchy. I thought since the product was so watery that it would slip off the face very easily but it is the total opposite it just glides on the skin and really does stay in place.



The only down side I find with the foundation and it does leave my skin a little dry when I take it off. I find that it leaves little dry patches around my face. However this doesn't stop me using the product as the product looks flawless on the skin.

You can buy this foundation in the UK only from QVC. It costs £31.20 and comes with this amazing double ended complexion brush!

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum

Recently I have been trying a lot of night serums to try and improve the texture of my skin – I am glad to have found the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I haven’t really ever had the best textured skin, now that I wear make-up on a daily basis I notice the areas that are not the best even more. My make-up will stick to those areas or the texture pushes the make-up up over the area – this makes it even more noticeable to me. One night I took my make-up off and got really frustrated with my bad skin and took to google to find a product that would help me – the one that kept popping up and had good reviews was the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I quickly bought the product and as soon as it arrived I tried it out… needless to say I was not disappointed. I used this product   each night and it just blurs any bad texture areas, it makes my skin feel so soft which is what I look for from many of my skincare products. As this product blurs the texture it makes my make-up sit

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I
