REVIEW: NIC'S PICKS REAL TECHNIQUE BRUSHES

I am such a massive fan of Real techniques brushes and have been for a while, so i was so excited to get my hands on this new collection of Nic's picks. In my opinion Real techniques just ALWAYS deliver the best quality brushes and get it right every time! I already have Sam's picks, which she released last year which were amazing so i just knew this collection would match up.

Nic's Picks consists of 5 brushes, 3 of which are exclusive to the set.

Duo-fiber face brush: (which i think may be my favorite) to be used with powders such as loose powder, highlighter or even blush. So soft on the skin and leaves a flawless finish.

Cheek brush: An exclusive, very similar to the expert face brush only this one is slightly more dense and shaped thinner, which makes it great for things like contouring and building pigment.

Angled shadow brush: Another exclusive. I love this brush too. Its angled shape makes it perfect for building up eyeshadow in the crease and blending.

Base shadow brush: This brush is perfect for patting or blending eyeshadow all over the lid. It's slightly tapered and very soft and fluffy.

Eyeliner brush: The last exclusive brush of the collection. This is perfectly thin and angled for applying either gel or powder liner, you could even use this to fill in your brows.

Over all i am so happy with this collection and would definitely recommend. I think they would make a lovely Christmas present for a friend or even just a treat to yourself!

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE 24HR REVIEW

I am most definitely a fan of L'Oreal foundations, in particular the L'Oreal true match which i have been using for a few years now, I've just always found that it was the best drugstore foundation so far so when i came across their newest foundation the infallible 24hr i wanted to  give it a go.
I've been using this foundation now for the past week just to try it out, and be sure that i like it and i have to say I've come to love it.

When comparing it to 'True Match' i'd say this one is much thicker, and just a tiny bit more coverage, but it blends easily enough and doesn't feel heavy on the skin which i enjoy in a foundation. It comes in i think around 8 shades and i bought the shade 'golden sand'.

In the pictures above i have not set powder over the foundation just to show exactly how it applies. It claims to cover dark circles, but i don't find that it covers mine quite enough so i put a touch of concealer under my eyes. All in all i would definitely recommend this, especially if your on a budget or just want a drugstore foundation similar to MAC, which i would say this very much is!

I can't tell you if it really does stay put for 24hrs like it says as i just have not tried, but i would definitely be interested to know if anyone has tried haha!

BALENCIAGA SS15

I've been a fan of  Balenciaga for a while now, worn by my all time style icon Kim K often, i am just always wowed by the sheer simplicity yet elegance of all their peices, So as you can imagine when i saw Balenciaga's collection for SS15 once again i was impressed and just needed to talk about it!

The colours from the show where kept minimal, mainly being blacks, whites and neutrals, with styles ranging from beautifully tailored floor length jackets to long net and mesh dresses, which i must add are my favorite! Some models where seen wearing these sci-fi type of glasses and sharp pointed shoes to complete the chic look.

 The overall vibe from the show was futuristic and modern and who better to be in the front row than my favourite, Kim Kardashian alongside Kanye and North, Of course all dressed in Balenciaga and once again pulling it off incredibly.
