Morning Beauties!
Hope you have some great plans for the weekend! I'm sure it probably means finishing up your christmas shopping or if you're a last minute type of person like me, starting to attempt it!
I thought I'd make this post all about mixing! I'm one of those people who likes to buy lots of makeup, and then after a while I get bored of it. So instead of just using something new I've bought, I like to start mixing and this is exactly what I did the other day!
I'd been enjoying wearing my MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation, as it was giving such a lovely glow when I wore it but as lately I've been unwell my skin tone started turning a bit yellower and so I was literally glowing a stronger weird yellow colour whilst wearing this! I decided that I needed to use another foundation with a bit more coverage to take the yellow glow away! So I dug out an old YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation.
I absolutely love this foundation and I used to wear it everyday for such a long time a few years ago but I was still searching for a bit more of a glow than this foundation offered. So what did I do?
I MIXED and well I can tell you that this mixture is absolutely a little gem!
MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation + YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation
= such a beautiful healthy glow and actual coverage.
I urge you to give it a go if you're after this kind of finish. Even if it's just grabbing some samples of them and testing it out yourself. I felt pretty proud of myself for finding this little beauty and I think I'll be mixing for quite some time!
Now if MAC and YSL were to combine these it would be incredible!
Have you ever combined 2 products you love and found a new favourite?

Hey Lovelies!
Today I thought I'd care to share a nail polish with you all!
It's a YSL baby in the shade Taupe Graine 53. I saw this nail lacquer in the store and thought it looked such a beaut for Autumn/Winter. So it was quickly purchased and put to the test!
Now me being me, didn't quite realise that the texture of this nail polish was a bit different, so whilst I was applying it I got a bit confused! Then I put 2+2 together and realised it was a grain kind of finish!
So I applied 2 and a bit coats and this is the end result:
Well, You apply this nail lacquer like normal and it goes on pretty smoothly, but then after a few blinks it starts to transform into the grainy finish! Pretty unusual and super special if you're wearing this colour for an evening out. The colour itself is taupe and it appears brown/silver depending on how it catches the light. A very lovely combination which once on looks very sophisticated and unique.
How would I describe the finish? A smooth sugar scrub, if that makes sense?!
The colour and finish is gorgeous and as it's another baby from YSL it's super easy to apply whilst the end result feels very luxurious. I know this texture finish/matte look is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you do like this cup of tea, then I really recommend you try this shade as it's a perfect cup!
Have you tried this shade before?

There's just something about gloss! And there's definitely just something about YSL Gloss Volupte.
After my little orange lipstick addiction, I've toned it down a tad and I'm now all about the nude lips!
A little YSL number which I heart right now is Gloss Volupte in shade 20 Nude Carat. I could stare at it all day, it just looks so pretty with its glimmering and glistening glitter.
So it definitely is great in its box and on the outside but is it great on the inside?
Of course it is!
I just love the applicator in these glosses, it's lip shape is very unique and means the gloss goes on evenly and smoothly. Plus it's just like they're blowing kisses at you! All whilst applying the perfect amount of shimmer and sparkle! Magic
It's got a kind of fruity melon scent which makes it a little bit more sweeter! It leaves a beautiful all over shine perfect for beautiful natural nude lips and is not sticky like some lip glosses out there.
Obviously if you don't like the glossy shine lips then this is probably not for you, but I am partial to a bit of gloss and this gloss keeps moisture well and truly locked in! You can use these glosses alone or over the top of your normal lipsticks! So I just adore it!
YSL have many more shades of these glosses. I'm eyeing up some lovely rose and coral shades which would be perfect for spring!
Even though not overly sticky just beware of the weather at the moment when applying this, as these strong winds here in London may result in a sticky situation. (Hair stuck to your lip gloss kind of drama! Arghh!!!!)
I just want to own them all!
Have you tried these little beauties?
