Bobbi brown foundation update!


Hey everyone sorry iv missed a few posts this week been so busy as per usual I can't complain! Anyways... I thought I'd update you on my foundation I've recently purchased, as you all know from reading my blog I have oily skin and find it a nightmare to find a foundation that actually works so as I've never tried bobbi brown before I thought I'd give them ago! So I went to the makeup counter and asked what would suit me as a oily skin type and the lovely girl said the compact foundation is great and is sweat/humidity proof, I gave it ago for a couple of days and didn't really get along with it I was still getting oily and I did find it abit thick ,  it felt as if I had a mask on which I didn't like! I think if you had a combination skin type this would Work fine for you and if you like heavy coverage then I'd say defiantly try this! But for an very oily skin type id stay away. The price of this one was £33.00 from John Lewis 



I went back to John Lewis to the bobbi brown counter and I'm now going to try this one which is a lighter formula so maybe will work Better for me I'm off to London tomorro so we shall see if I get oily at all. The lady who helped me was very good and matched my skin perfectly , made me feel much better about my skin nicest thing was that if this one doesn't work out for me I can swap for a different one I will then opt for a powder foundation instead but fingers crossed this works out! This one was a little cheaper at £31.00 

If your like me and have a nightmare finding foundations for oily skins comment below and tell me what brand you would use , Or think would be great id love to hear from you. Follow me on Instagram at Laurenpearceyyy or my Twitter @pearceyyylauren ciao xx

My everyday make up favourites.....



This is my everyday make up favourites I wear on a daily basis..

foundation I use the gosh x-ceptional wear in the colour 12 natural.
 I really like the way this foundation glides onto the skin it buffs in really well with my real techniques buffing brush, also the colour range is really good they do a really light one to a really dark one so can be worn by anyone.
Recently I've noticed I am getting a lot shinier with this foundation as I have used it for a long time maybe it is time to find a new one for my skin type so I probably wouldn't recommend this for a oily skin like mine but defiantly good for a normal to combination skin type.
from super drug for £7.99

powder I use the accessorize in translucent there's not much to say about this powder other than it suits all skin types and does keep my skin looking Matte throughout the day, it doesn't cake up when I re apply it either I'd highly recommend this.  
from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrow gel I use the maybelline brow drama in the colour dark brown this gel is perfect for keeping the brows in place and giving them a little bit of colour.
from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrows I use the MUA pro brow kit I love this it's really cheap and my eyebrows don't budge all day! It comes with a wax, three shades , tweezers and a little brush 
From super drug for £2.50

Mascara i am using is the  Rimmel scandal eyes Lycra flex this is great for volumizing the lashes to make them look fuller and also adding thickness to them with its big soft barrel brush.
From super drug for £4.99

Bronzer I use is the Bahamas mama by the balm I literally love this bronzer it's my second repurchases and I love it this really gives a natural glow to the face without making you look orange it's brilliant for contouring as it's soft powder is easy to Blend out.
great buy from www.feelunique.com  for £13.50

Blusher im using is accessorize merged baked blusher  In colour number 5 sensation I love this blusher as it gives a nice pink shimmer on the cheeks and is not to overpowering it glides on nicely to and doesn't cake up.
From super drug sale for £2.99

Concealer I'm using is from YSL touché éclat radiant touch in the lightest shade I absolutely love this concealer hides all my dark circles and imperfections and really does brighten and highlight areas too I defiantly will be repurchasing this it's a makeup bag must have its pricey but worth it.
From John Lewis for £25.00

BB cream for under the eyes I use the pure B.B in ultra light I like this as it brightens and gives a cooling sensation under my eye area giving it a good base for my concealer to sit on.
From super drug £1.99

Lip products are use are the H&M lip tint in bubblegum pink and NYX Megs shine lipgloss In pink frost I love both these lip products together for a ultra baby pink lip there long lasting and the taste of the NYX is amazing smells like cherries.
From H&M for £1.99 and next in Westfield for £5.99

Bare minerals night treatment...


So I got this powder as a present for Christmas and I've been using it everyday since it's amazing after I've cleansed my skin at night I apply this all over my face with the brush that comes with it and buff it into the skin. 

This powder helps  to reduce pores, increase luminosity and help faster cell turnover which helps skins renewing benefits. 

I can see a difference in my skin my pores are a lot smaller and my skin doesn't feel so shiny in the morning and looks a lot brighter also I had some bad scarring and has faded the marks which I was happy about , I've had this Product since December and still have a full pot left even thou it's a pricey product it last ages which is a bonus you can get this product from John Lewis, debenhams which I've found so far the price of this product is £45.00 hope this helps I defiantly recommend to try it!
