My First Impressions On Body Shop's New Fresh Nude Foundation...

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?? I bet you're all catching up on some late TV or maybe your just having a nice little relaxed evening in.... That's definitely what I'm doing! It's gone of the days where I used to be a party animal ;) haha! I would rather sit in with family or friends watching a movie with a takeaway ha-ha! (So exciting Anya!) 

So as you can see when I first started writing this blog for you all it was Friday evening... But sadly, due to staring at the screen for a while I developed a bad headache... Headaches are hateful aren't they?? It will probably be Saturday by the time I finish writing this blog but oh well... 

The Friday feeling is there with us in spirit right? Well with it being Friday the thirteenth and all.... Who believes in the spiritual kind of stuff? I've got to say I kind of have mixed feelings but due to watching Charmed when I was younger of course I believe something! Tell me, you remember Charmed right? If not, then I guess it's certainly showing my age! 

After, becoming extremely sidetracked I shall return to expressing my love for Body Shop's new range of foundations... 

By now you should now, my first impression always starts off with the designing of the product! I have an obsession, with bold lids and innocent pretty bottles at the moment... I think the transparent bottle looks incredible with the bold black writing on the front of the bottle! 

Not forgetting to mention, the name and the shade number of the foundation.. I went for the Chelsea Porcelain in the shade - o10. If you're quite fair skinned, then I would definitely recommend this one for you... It's the second lightest shade, as you know I am very pale but I like to add a little colour to my face! 

I also had a test match in the shop to see if I had guessed the shade right and bingo! The lady was very lovely and shared the same name as my cousin Heidi. I would always advise you to ask for a test match if you aren't one hundred percent sure... 

Try before you buy, I swear it's my motto for everything!

Then I applied a little bit of foundation against my skin in order to show you all at home how good the match is to my skin tone. 

When I was learning all the beauty tricks when I was younger, my mum always used to buy me make-up from Body shop and I absolutely adore the beauty products from there! I always, recommend the foundations from Body shop hence the reason why I was super excited to try out this newbee.! 

About two hours ago now (around 10) I removed my make-up I kept it on from about 8am this morning till 10am so it's had roughly over fourteen hours to show a fair test.... I'm extremely happy with the product. If you're looking for a foundation which will stand out by showing off your wearing make-up then I would look else where as this foundation is based around natural looks.... 

This shows why I have settled for a natural look above in one of the selfie's I took early this morning!! 

I absolutely love it though and would definitely add it to your must have's for beauty products ha-ha!! 

I hope you all have an incredible weekend!! 

Night my lovelies, Anya Marie xx

My First Impression On Bourjois City Radiance Foundation...

Wait hold up... let me pause for a second!! It's May already!! What?? I can't believe that we're five months into 2016 already!! It truly is crazy how quickly time goes by, isn't it?

I couldn't resist sharing this photo with you all as it's such a beautiful photo, isn't it? Again, I found it on Instagram this morning... As usual I have forgotten who tagged it but whoever did thank you hehe!! Typical me right?

Before, I move onto sharing my impressions on my new foundation I would like to take the time to wish you all a very beautiful May with lots of incredible moments!!...

Ever since, this newbee arrived in my Superdrug order I have been dying to share it with you all!! I have literally become obsessed with everything about this foundation. I have previously heard mixed opinions on the foundation, which I guess made me unsure whether I should purchase the foundation in the first place but never the less I did anyway...! 

I am so glad that I did buy the foundation though, as I simply adore it!! 

My first reaction towards the foundation was down to the designing of course!! It certainly, made me very happy as the colour tones that have been selected for the design of this foundation bottle is simply gorgeous!! I love it!! It has a twisty lid which I love! 

As you can see I then tested the colour of the foundation against my skin to test the colour match!! It was a pretty good match, it does have a slight hint of orange but it's pretty perfect as the warmer months are coming and that's exactly what we need isn't it ladies? 

I always find a slightly darker colour than the normal colour foundation you go for is best as your skin tone tends to change... 

After, brushing in the foundation you can see it slightly from the photo above but I would definitely say it's a pretty spot on match... Don't you agree?? 

I thought I would share a seflie with you all where you can see what the foundation looks like. 

It creates a fresh and even complexion!! It leaves my skin feeling healthy, which is a must have for me when it comes to make-up!! There's nothing better than having your skin feeling healthy and refreshed is there? 

Before, I forget to mention I went for the vanilla shade so if you have a similar skin tone to me then I suggest purchasing the vanilla shade if you want a summery look. 

Not only is the foundation one of my favourites the price is my favourite too!! It's only £9.99 a bottle it's definitely a must have for the summer!! What a bargain! 

Anyway, it's time "I walked up the wooden hill" - that's what my nan used to say to me when I was a little girl and bed time was calling me! On that note, I sure will be heading to bed as I need my sleep!! 

Of course, I had to end this blog with a Tumblr picture!! I think sometimes, Tumblr photos say it all... don't they? 

Sleep Tight & Sweet Dreams, Anya Marie xx

My First Impression On Collection Illuminating Touch Foundation...

Good evening everyone, how are you all feeling? I'm definitely feeling hungry for sure, hurry up home from work mum!!

I thought it would be time to to share a first impression blog on my new Collection Illuminating Touch Foundation... As I previously, mentioned in my last blog that it would be coming soon for you all... I guess, I decided it would be fair to share it with you all now! 

Like always, of course I will start by expressing my love for the design of the bottle!! Isn't it pretty? I love the bold writing on the bottle which matches with the black lid on the bottle!! It's s cute, I guess it's another favourite of mine!! 

Moving on, from the love I have  of the design! I started with testing the foundation on my skin... This is genuinely the best way to test your new foundations to get the best results!! 

I thought I would apply more of the foundation in order for you all to see a better result in the picture. From the photo, it looks slightly darker than my own skin tone... 

My initial, thought to point out is that it looks slightly orange when compared to my skin tone so I wouldn't pump out too much. In fact, I only use one pump of this foundation as that's all I need to use for my entire face.... 

My next step, was to blend in the foundation and as you can see that's exactly what I have done. It again, looks slightly orangey but when I blend the foundation in it certainly looks a lot better. 

You can certainly see that the foundation works well when it's blended in properly... 

In fact, it's a really beautiful foundation! It makes my skin look natural and glowy! 

After, applying this foundation it makes my skin feel soft and silky! 

I one hundred percent recommend this foundation it's definitely worth purchasing! 

Plus, it's only £5.99 and it's definitely such a great price for such a beautiful foundation!! How could you resist? 

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, but it's definitely time for me to go and eat now as I'm beyond starving now ha-ha!! 

Oh and before I forget, I purchased the Ivory 2 shade in case you all wanted to know :)!! 

Have a lovely Monday evening everyone!! 

Much Love, Anya Marie xx

My First Impressions On Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation...

Happy Saturday everyone!! What are all your plans for tonight then? For me, its an Indian night with my family and then I'll  be snoozing before I know it ha-ha!! 

I haven't blogged in a while as I have been rather busy with lots of other things to do with the blog, which of course you will find out in due time. I hope you like waiting :)! 

As I recently featured a first impression on a foundation of mine, I thought I would post another one as you guys seemed to like it... So I hope you'll like this one too!! 

I thought I would review this product, as we all love Nars cosmetics don't we? It's my first ever Nars foundation, so I was really keen to share my first impressions with you guys... 

 

Before, sharing my opinions with you I thought I would share a close up / focus photo with you all so you could potentially try to create your own impressions. 

It makes my hair look really short and so much darker though, so clearly the lighting wasn't as good as I had originally thought but never mind I'm going to go with it anyhow...

From the photo, I hope you could see that it's a pretty good coverage... If not, I will take you through my first impressions anyway so don't worry... 

Lets, take a step back to just appreciate how beautiful Nars packaging is as well as the gorgeous design on the bottle... Utterly, utterly incredible!! I found myself obsessing over the bottle for a while  before I even managed to try the foundation. I think the designing, is pretty clean and fresh which is exactly what attracts a beauty blogger for sure.!!. 

After managing to get past the designing of the bottle, I finally managed to encourage myself to try out the new foundation. With hearing so many positives about Nars products, I must admit that I had set my standards extremely high already... 

To start off with, I of course colour matched the foundation onto my skin to test how well it matched against my skin tone.

I was pretty happy with the colour on my skin tone, if I am honest... From the photo you can see it is slightly darker than my skin, which is what I tend to go for as I like to slightly darken my skin tone just a tad. 

The foundation claims to be a long wear foundation, which I must agree with as I applied the foundation at about half eleven and I have literally just taken my make-up off. You could still see the foundation was there, but it provides such a natural and luminous healthy look with almost a glowy kind of look. 

After, blending the foundation in I could immediately tell that it wasn't a cakey foundation. It was effortless and weightless as it doesn't make my skin feel cakey or layered. 

Plus another fact, the feel of my foundation on my skin feels so silky.!! I am actually in love!! 

All in all, I couldn't really say a bad word about the foundation. I would definitely recommend buying a Nars foundation as you won't do wrong in doing so...!! 

In case, I forget to mention I will let you all know what shade of foundation I have as it may match your skin tone. I went for the shade light 2 and the name of the foundation is Mont Blanc.. 

Again, this is another reason why I love this product as I just love the name of it. It just sounds really fancy and swish, doesn't it? Do you know what I mean?

I hope this first impressions blog on my Mont Blanc Nars foundation was helpful for you all :)!! Please, be sure to let me know if you have used a Nars foundation and leave your thoughts below as I am looking forward to hearing them... :)!! 

Much Love, Anya xx
