Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation

So my first blog post is going to be on one of my favorite foundations at the minute, the Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Foundation.



Why i love this foundation;

  • I find it to be very light weight on the skin (which is always a bonus for me) I don't find this foundation to be cakey no matter if i put a little on for during the day or a lot on when i go out at night. Finding a foundation that is light weight is very important for me. 
  • For me the colour selection is okay with 7 colour's to pick from here in the UK, i have kind of fair skin and i wear a very thin layer of the colour 021 Nude Beige. However, when i am very pale during the colder winter months i have to mix this with a lighter foundation as it becomes to dark for me to wear.
  • The biggest pro for me has got to be the lasting power of this foundation. This foundation will last on my face for up to 9 hours with very little touch ups - and still looks as flawless as it did when i first put it on. 
However from reading other blogs many say that this is not for all skin types and especially for people with oily/combination skin, however as i have oily skin which is particularity bad around my t-zone area i think it works just a well for me as it does for my friends that have dry/normal skin. I do not find that after a couple of hours it had slid down my nose like it does for many of the other foundation i have tried - especially the Chanel Vitalumiere aqua, which needs touched up every couple of hours. So i would recommend people to try this product out and see if they are able to use if even if they have oily skin.



If i feel like the foundation is becoming shiny or has come off after 5-6 hours i will touch it up with the Mac Prep + Prim Transparent Pressed Powder, this just leaves a colourless finish that reduces the shininess that can sometimes shine through the foundation

Overall i would recommend this foundation to anyone who is looking for a drugstore foundation that could match some of the high end foundation. For anyone that is interested in buying this foundation it can be found in Boots or Superdrug for £8.99.

Thanks for reading,

Love Stef x

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

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
