Oh Mac how you disappoint


So once I ran out of my n07 foundation, I decided to purchase a high end foundation to see what the fuss was about. So I went into mac and I purchased Studio Fix Fluid and I was matched up to nw20. I purchased the pump also along with two lipsticks so it wasn't cheep and now I wish I never. Yesterday I wore it all day and I seemed fine until I took it off at night where I noticed break outs across my face that weren't there in the morning. I figured it was just because I'm a teenager and we're all prone to the odd breakout but applying it today, I noticed red blotches appearing all over my face and neck. I also noticed that it was far too dark for me making me look orange. I thought that paying £20+ for a foundation that it would be good and not cause anything like this, I know my usual £10 foundation from boots hasn't done anything. But obviously I was wrong, I now have stinging blotches over my skin and I'm not going to be using that again, I'm going to return to boots and go back to my usual foundation. This is my first Mac Disappointment and I hope its the only one.

Review: I Should Coco Soap


On my first trip into a lush store, I was aiming to buy a new soap. I purchased "Rockstar" and "Honey I washed the kids" online and never really got the chance to smell any other soaps. I recently took a shopping trip in Princes Street with my best friend and I dragged her into lush to show her "Rockstar" mainly because it screams her in a soap. She of course, took my advice, and picked a chunk up while I got "I should Coco". Last night, I cut a chunk so I wouldn't use it all at once and took it into the test drive. After cutting I wasn't a big fan of the smell of it, it came off rather over powering but as I let it sit for a while I could smell the coconut fragrance coming back through. In the shower, it made my skin feel really strange and almost slippy, as if the water was just falling off and not touching me at all. But as I stepped out the shower and dried off, I realized how smooth and soft my skin felt. Over all, I wouldn't rave about the smell of this soap but it is better than a few I have smelt. I am going to use it again to see what its like on second testing but so far, I'm liking this soap so far.
