What Foundation Do You Use?
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation £33*
While I'm still mourning the discontinuation and subsequent reformulation of my beloved Laura Mercier Silk Creme I THINK I've found my new favorite foundation. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation is hailed as a providing a flawless, poreless and long lasting base. Sounds good right?
I have two shades 4 and 5 which both suit me well but I think 4 is probably a spot on match. It's a pretty high coverage foundation but can be sheered out depending on how much you use. I use a buffing brush to apply but a stippling brush would give a sheered more refined coverage. It leaves the skin looking radiant and smooth without a sign on cakiness. It doesn't sit in lines or pores and has a pretty decent staying power on my combination skin. It doesnt break me out which is always a bonus. My skin seems to hate most foundations and ALWAYS freaks out whenever I try something new.
My favourite way to wear it is mixed with a generous pump of the Becca Shimmering Skin Tint in Opal. It results in a flawless lit from within medium to full coverage base that dreams are made of. The foundation is pretty glowy alone but I think adding the skin tint just adds a little bit of something to really boost it.
If youre familiar with Estee Lauder double wear then it's very similar to that in terms of coverage but doesnt give the face a mask like feeling like the Lauder one. I do really like this and I have repurchased it when I bought a different shade from the one I was sent originally so I guess I must like it. While I dont think it's ever going to take over my deeo love for LM SC, Having and affair with Charlotte Tilbury isnt bad.

6 items the fashion & beauty world are currently going gaga over
Over the years I've been handed down a lot of secrets from industry insiders about forthcoming trends and "here to stay" classics. So I thought it high time to bring you a regular feature on the item advice I'm given, kicking off with six recommendations/purchases featuring everything from clothing to beauty. The advice was so good, even I've bought into each and every one of the items featured here. And don't be put off if some are a high price point. Knowing the fashion world, they'll be high street versions hitting the market soon! Use this as a guide to what to look for, when it comes to fashion. For beauty, these products are not replaceable - they are the best of the best - and I use them each every single day, without fail.
The Breton Stripe is a style that has no expiration date. Ask any fashion editor and I'll guarantee she has at least half a dozen Breton stripes on standby at any given moment. Yes, they are that treasured. In later years, designers have taken the classic stripe and mixed it with contemporary trends such as the statement sweater. And voila! you have the Gap Captain shirt. There are a few different styles here but we've already seen it paired with floral swing skirts, overalls and skinny jeans - just to name a few. The perfect piece to transition into spring like a seasoned professional.
I've written about this lifesaver time and again, and now the secret is well and truly out there. Seems every time I'm with the fashion gang we're talking about the life changing way in which this product transforms our hair. Yes, it is a miracle cure for everything from providing volume to fighting frizz! The travel size is new and perfect for every quick trip around the world - carry on only or not!
Aquazarra have famously released a few styles now that have sold out and solidified the brand's place in fashion trend history. Their latest sandal is a mid-sized heel version of their sold-out fringe from last season. Just released, this style is sure to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, so get in there and purchase now before it's too late. AZ - personal thanks for giving us a better heel to stomp around in. Those four and a half inchers were a killer!
Are you getting the memo here that fringe is once again a hit for the season ahead? I hope you didn't pack away all your fringe from last season! Would have been a huge mistake. Or you can just play into the new styles - mainly this beauty from Pierre Hardy. You have to love a suede fringe number!
