la praire caviar foundation review

Recently a lot of people have been starting to review more expensive makeup products and the higher end makeup circle; something that hadn't been touched on before, but I have actually been using la praire products for a quite a while, long enough to know my true opinion of it, and if it's worth the high price tag. I know that £146 for a foundation is quite steep in a lot of peoples eyes and if probably a bit painful to your bank account but it's not just a foundation as it claims to; "enhances application and long wear help support skin’s firmness and elasticity as well as having natural-looking coverage of under eye darkness and flaws". I will say that it does have a long wear time and natural looking coverage of imperfections and under eye circles although I will say I can't really talk about firmness and elasticity as I'm still quite young and my skin is naturally quite firm. On the website it describes the foundation as: "Instant, natural-looking perfection floats onto your face with this dewy foundation and an exquisitely matched concealer. Skin Caviar Concealer • Foundation SPF 15 is a luxurious cream emulsion that offers full natural-looking coverage. The concealer camouflages under-eye darkness and deeper flaws. Both formulas support firming with legendary caviar extracts. A brilliant fusion of science and cosmetic artistry, Skin Caviar Concealer • Foundation SPF 15 is the foundation of perfection."

When using the foundation although being reasonable light it is still heavier than some others and maybe doesn't feel like it's floating on to the skin but it does have more coverage than most "natural" foundations while still look reasonable natural but just like you have perfect skin; because of this I tend to use it when I want to look nicer and more put together and not on a daily basis. When I do use it feels very luxurious which I think is part of the experience of getting ready for an event or something special one of the reasons to me high end makeup is so sort after.  The concealer that comes with the foundation if still natural but a bit heavier than the foundation and does cover any imperfections that I have and makes my skin look fresh and clear but not like I'm caked on with makeup. When photographing the foundation I think it does photography well looking light and fresh and despite the spf in the foundation it doesn't flash back, the spf in the foundation also makes it better for summer day or  summer events and it means you don't have to put on sun cream underneath making your skin again look better although the spf isn't too high so I wouldn't recommend it for hotter countries but for England it's just fine also because of the long wear time it would be perfect for a daytime event (like the races) where you would want your makeup to stay all day but will still be outside.

So overall I would say that the foundations is worth the money if you can afford it and maybe saving up for it would make the product that little bit more special but I wouldn't recommend that you should go out of your way if it's something you can't afford as for a foundation it is very expensive.

Terrific tuesdays- soap and glory peaches and clean deep cleansing milk

For this weeks terrific Tuesday I'm doing something I have touched on before in an earlier post for how amazing it is but I thought it was worth it's own blog post. The soap and glory 4 in 1 deep cleansing milk removes all my makeup, even waterproof mascara, and basically melts it of something the cleanser claims to do as well as cleansing my skin. I use it after my garnier micellar to remove my surface makeup which I do with cotton pads, once I have done that step I will then take around 2 or 3 pumps in my hands which I then massage into my face and then onto closed eyes (it can sting if it gets into your eyes)which I then remove from my face with a damp cotton pad which help to take off any cleanser and makeup left on my skin and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. The peaches and gojuice(tm)extracts in the cleanser helps with the fresh feeling to my skin and unclogs my pores and finally the cleanser has oxyginseng to detox my skin and once again refresh it after a day of wearing makeup. The cleanser is fit for all skin types and is dermatologically tested it also claims to purify and clarify, dissolve makeup, energize and finally smooth your skin; I will defiantly say it purify and clarify my skin, dissolves my makeup and creates the appearance of more energised skin although I don't know if it leaves my skin smoother but overall I really recommend this cleanser and can only say good things about it because it really is an all in one cleanser.

Lots of Love

Foody Friday -Sundaes Gelato

Earlier this week I went to a new ice cream place in my town called; Sundaes Gelato which does: sundaes, waffles, crepes, milkshakes and more. They come with a range of toppings but I personally got the Nutella cookie crepe. It was a crepe topped with Nutella, banana and cookie crumbled on top which was without a doubt... amazing! This one was also popular with my friends getting the same on the waffle which I also tried and was just as good but I would say the choice is just how much you feel you can eat as obviously the waffle would be more filling. The shop also has a good atmosphere being decorated in cool black and red furniture and having music playing through out as well as it being popular with a lot of people adding the atmosphere, it is also great for a range of people from teenagers like myself to families and adults which explains why it's so popular. I was also very impressed at the time we got our food with it being under five minuets despite how busy it was. Overall I was really impressed with the whole experience and will defiantly being going again.

If your interested in going to sundaes I will try and link it below. 

Lots of Love

Manydown Bus Cafe

my brie and bacon panini

In sorry I haven't uploaded in a while due to being very busy in the new year but since it's half term and my work load has reduced just a bit I have a little more time to do things more blog worthy and have time to write about it.



the milk jug

Today me and my mum went on a little brunch date with a difference; on a bus! Quite close to wear I live is a family farm and instead of a regular café they have a vintage bus! It is very unique and cute and defiantly adds a memorable experience to a family day out; although I will say the food isn't amazing you do have to remember it's being cooked in a bus and not an actual café so it is still up to scratch, if your interested in visiting the bus café I'll leave a link to their Facebook page with my other regular links down below.  



Hope you enjoyed todays post!

Lots of Love
