My Travel Plan

I have an itch to go and travel at the moment and I cannot wait until my exams are over so I can fulfill my wants. There are a few places within the UK I am desperate to visit or return to and I'm hoping I can cross them all off my list this year.

Stratford is my favourite place in the entire country (besides my house) and I could quite happily live there. It is so picturesque and quaint and has a really relaxing atmosphere and the best sweet shop ever. I've been a few times, but there are still things I wish to see and do.

Manchester is somewhere high on my list, I would like to go to the Trafford centre as well as explore the sights and sounds. It's much bigger than Nottingham so I would like to immerse myself in a bigger city.

Bath is another place I am keen to go to. I would love to see the Roman baths and explore all the culture and history it has to offer.

Glasgow or Edinburgh are other possibilities. I've been looking at university open days and they are definitely places I want to check out, so why not visit ay?

Of course there are other places I want to go back to. e.g Devon, London, Birmingham, but they are just a few places I have never been to, as of yet, or have had very little experience of.

Where do you want to go and visit? I hope you enjoyed reading,

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer.

I'm a huge advocate for the Nars Creamy Radiant Concealer and after hearing that Urban Decay's release is even better I had to give it a try. I have the shade light warm and it is the such a good match,

I've been using it for a few weeks and have to say it is pretty close to Nars. It is somewhat creamier and easier to blend and seriously packs a punch with coverage. It isn't really thick, nor is it very thin in consistency. It is is brightening under the eyes, but also conceals blemishes very well. It isn't drying through the day which is something I really look for in a concealer. A little goes along way with this and it is perfect for disguising my tired eyes. The one thing that could be improved is the amount that comes out on the applicator. So much comes out that I could conceal my entire face. Apart from that, I absolutely love it. 

Have you tried it? I hope you enjoyed reading,

MAC Fix +

I've never really been interested in setting sprays or such products, however my sister bought me MAC Fix + for Christmas and I've been using it religiously ever since. 

I find it isn't too 'wet' and makes my makeup last that little bit longer throughout the day. It is really refreshing and ensures that no makeup clings to the dry patches on my face. 

I also enjoy using it to make eyeshadows that little more pigmented and intense and find it is perfect for slightly dampening my brush/beauty blender. 

Have you used it before? I hope you enjoyed reading,

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit.

I have been lusting over this palette for a long time after seeing it used in so many tutorials on YouTube. I picked up the shade 'light-medium' and it is perfect.

There are three lighter shades and three contour/bronze shades and I can tell I will get good use out of them all. Sand is a lovely highlight and banana is a brilliant under eye powder. Fawn is the perfect contour shade for me and although it isn't something I do on a regular basis, it is nice to have the perfect shade in my stash for when I want to do something different with my makeup.

The shades are so pigmented and blendable and don't leave any harsh lines whatsoever. I love how convenient the palette is so the shades can be removed and refilled with the single pans. It is very sleek and compact, making it perfect for travelling and definitely was worth the investment!

Now I'm pondering over the cream kit. Have you tired any of them? I hope you enjoyed reading,
