Style | Neon & Brights

I love the neon trend for spring and I really want to get some bright pieces in time for summer. So I thought I'd pick out a few things that stood out and that I think will look gorgeous for spring/summer. I have this skirt but in different colours, I love them for summer and I definitely want this day glow one. I also have the lipstick, it's such a good colour for statement lips. It's also been said that it is a dupe for MAC's Candy Yum Yum.

Review | L'oreal True Match foundation

I'm always on the hunt for a good drugstore foundation for everyday use and I was starting to feel that my Revlon Colorstay felt a bit heavy for me at the moment. 

I was watching a few videos about the L'oreal Lumi foundation and I did like the sound of it but some people were saying it didn't last very long. Then I heard about the True Match foundation which has a natural looking finish, not too matte and not too dewy. 

I would say it has medium/buildable coverage and it feels light weight on the skin. It looks very natural and is a good colour match for my skin.

The good thing about these foundations is that they come in an amazing colour range. There are 22 different colours and they are split into groups of different skin tones, N, C and W. These stand for Neutral, Cool and Warm. Then they are also numbered 1 to 9. The system is a little like MAC's way of numbering their foundations. I'm NC 15 in MAC's Studio Sculpt and I'm N1 Ivory in L'oreal's True Match.

I think this it's really good for an affordable foundation to have such a good colour range. If you don't know what your skin tone is it might be good to try the different tones in the number you think you'd be. But you can also visit the L'oreal website and have a 'consultation' (click here). But I think you really need to try the colours on your face to really see what shade you should be. 

It's quite a runny, liquidy consistency compared to something like Revlon Colorstay which is much thicker.

My only problem with this foundation is that it can settle into lines and creases in the face. Not a good look! So I try to avoid my 'smile line' area and my under eye area where it tends to crease a bit. 

Outfit of the day | Back to school

My ASOS package arrived yesterday with my new grey skater skirt in it so I thought I'd put an outfit together. It reminds me of my old school uniform haha! I didn't actually end up wearing the skirt out because it was so cold today! :( I wore my black jeans instead.

Review | Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Lychee

I've wanted a Gelly Hi Shine from Barry M for a while now but I wasn't too keen on any of the bright colours. I was in Superdrug the other day, as per usual and I spotted this colour called Lychee. It's literally my perfect nude nail colour. I love Barry M nail polish in general and I love the Gelly Hi Shine, it's really glossy and shiny. It's also really thick without being gloppy. It applies really well, with this colour you may need more than one coat because it's a pale colour. Also just to add these aren't my natural nails they are Nailene Full Cover Nails in Petite Square (See post about them here).

Review | Nailene 200 Full Cover Nails in Petite Square

I hate my natural nails, they are a really weird shape and they are so weak. They break as soon as I try to grow them out so I just don't bother. I used to use Nailene Nails in Active Length which were okay but they were a bit too long and didn't look natural enough. So I would have to file and clip them down and just end up in a big old mess! Then I came across the petite version on llymrs' blog, so I searched on Superdrug and Boots for them but they were no where to be found! I then found them on Ebay, so I assume they only sell the petite ones in American or something. Anyway they were only £5.99 and free post and packaging. They were delivered really fast as well.

I love how they look, they look really natural but polished. My step mum gets acrylics done in a salon and I think these nails have a similar look. Obviously they don't last as long as acrylics which can last up to a month or so. These last about 3-4 days but sometimes just the odd one will fall off and you can just reapply. They come in different sizes which is good to suit most nail sizes but they are petite so they generally fit smaller nails better. This is really good for people with narrow small nails as well as people who want a shorter length. 

Lola's outfit pick of the week #2

I started this post a few weeks ago now so this is a bit late but I wanted to stick with it. So this is the second addition of 'Lola's Outfit Pick'. I wanted to do another Spring/Summer outfit although the weather is STILL rubbish here. 

These Topshop dresses look so effortless and comfortable, I love the bold blue colour which is nice and bright for Summer. Then I thought I'd pair it with a geometric white necklace, cute socks and some chunky white flatform trainers. Then for make up I would personally go simple and pretty with soft pink lips and bold winged eye liner.
