Let's talk about that base this week! I'm just gonna go through what I've been loving as base to start off my make up.

Prep the face


I will use the Bio Derma just on a cotton pad and just wipe over the face, just to make sure my face is clean. Sometimes I put on my makeup during the day and by then sometimes it's just a bit oily which is why I just the Bio Derma. I then use the Clinique moisture surge, its a gel formula which I love cos I tend to get shiny due to the weather and I feel with this gel it moisturises my face without giving it an shiny finish like creams do. Then I prime my skin, with the Smashbox photo finish colour correcting primer. It is a travel size one but I'm trying to finish it before starting another primer. But I think it does a pretty good job as primer.

Foundation 


Depending on how my skin is looking or how I'm feeling I'll either pick on of the following foundations:
Nars Sheer Matte: I use this one if I want a fuller coverage. I'll tend to use this if I'm going somewhere nice and I have time to work in my makeup. This will last pretty much all day on me, because the weather is super humid here I will have to blot sometime once if I'm out to keep it matte.
Tarte BB cream: This one also gives me a pretty high coverage, I'd use this when I want some sort of makeup but I can't be bothered with concealers. I just think it's such a great BB cream which almost acts as a foundation and primer as one, if I use this sometimes I won't bother with the primer. This is something I'll definitely be using once uni goes back as I'm quite lazy when it comes to make-up and uni especially when I have 8am starts.
Milani The Multitasker Face Powder: I like using this if I'm having a good skin day, this one just gives a light coverage, I'm sure you can build it up but I will just use the powder brush and just do a light cover with this. It's very quick and easy.

I've seriously been M.I.A on this blog for the last week. Not exactly sure what I've been doing, seems like I've been doing anything but blogging. I was out a couple of days having had my wisdom teeth removed but it wasn't too bad for me. Other than that, I have no clue why I haven't been writing! Anyway back to manicure talk! I got my nails done yesterday, originally I was only getting a pedi but I ended up getting a pedi and shellac nails cos Chinese New Year is coming up this week and I wanted my nails to last. Last time I got shellac nails I loved it when it was on! It last maybe almost two weeks, before it started to look like it needed to come off. The shine of the polish is just amazing, which I love. I decided to get a baby pink colour. I just love this colour I think it makes your nails look so nice and pretty.



My only issue with shellac is that when it comes to taking it off, it seems quite bad for your nails, as it looks quite scratched afterwards. Last time I got them done, I went to the salon to get it taken off. But from what I've heard, you can take it off yourself, by putting acetone on a cotton ball and placing that on your nails then wrapping foil around it. Leaving it to soak before peeling it off. If I can get my hands on some acetone, I'm gonna give it a go, will definitely let you guys know if I do!

Quick little post tonight. I got this nail polish while I was away in the States. Its the Nails Inc Alexa Cashmere nails. I love the colour of the nail polish I think it's just so chic, it a taupe purple kinda colour but in different lights it looks different which makes it a bit hard to explain the colour. This line of nail polish is texturised, so the polish is suppose to feel like a fabric, this one is suppose to feel like cashmere, then they have lace and leather ones as well, which I didn't get. But overall the colour and wearability of the polish is amazing and the texture idea of it doesn't really bother me. It lasted me about 5 to 6 days on my nails which I think is pretty good!
