Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Hello everyone! If you have watched my March Favourites video then you will know that I have been loving my Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation recently.

I love foundations that are slightly glowy but also provide a good amount of buildable coverage. I only own one medium/full coverage foundation which is quite a matte finish so I was on the hunt for a new one!

When I first apply this, it can sit a little on my skin and look slightly thick for the first couple of minutes. After it's been on my skin for a few minutes though, it completely settles in and is left looking really natural, glowy and flawless. It's very light on my skin too so I don't feel as though I'm wearing foundation.

The coverage is very buildable and however much I build it up, the colour never darkens and it never looks or feels thick once it has settled in! It's called a full coverage foundation which it definitely is, but you can just apply a little bit and buff it in to achieve a lighter, medium coverage.

I use a primer with this and also set it with a powder and setting spray. I ran out of my setting spray for a couple of weeks though and this still lasted perfectly all day on my skin without me touching up at all!

I love that this foundation leaves my skin looking healthy, radiant and glowy whilst also looking very natural! This is definitely the best foundation I have and it's really perfect for me.

The colour I have is Soft Ivory which is the perfect shade for me as well. Sometimes I struggle to find foundations pale enough for me but this one is a great match!

Have you tried this foundation? I would love to know what your favourite foundation is :)

This is available here for £33.

Shopping Haul

Hello! The other day College was cancelled so I went shopping! I posted a photo on Instagram of my shopping bags and it was in my Week In Instagram Photos post. Quite a few people asked for a haul post so here it is!

I went to Exeter for the day with my mum and bought some things that I have wanted for a while now!

I have really wanted a felt or wool floppy hat for ages now and have had an Urban Outfitters one up on my laptop for months! I don't have an Urban Outfitters where I live so as soon as I saw it in Exeter I went in and bought it!

I also bought a black cloche hat from Debenhams. This was just a spur of the moment purchase and I love it! I tried it on and it's really warm and easy to wear. I absolutely love the floppy hat but because it's big it's a bit harder to wear, whereas this is just small and cute!

Next I went to John Lewis and I absolutely love John Lewis! I had just run out of my Liz Earle cleanse and polish so my mum treated me to another one! 

I also bought the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation. I have wanted to try this foundation for ages now. When I got home though the colour was way too dark for me so I took it back and had to have a refund as they don't do any paler shades!

Lastly I just went to Boots and Superdrug. I bought the La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo after reading Ruth saying how amazing it is. I never even had a spot until about one year ago and if I get any, it's one tiny spot! Over the past month though, I broke out quite a bit and some products did help reduce them, but nothing was getting rid of them completely. So far this seems great and I am planning to do a full review once I have used it for longer!

In Superdrug I bought the John Frieda Tone Correcting shampoo and conditioner. I went to the hairdressers last week to get highlights and I really like them! I am thinking of getting a couple more soon too. The highlights have a slight yellowy tone to them so I have been using this shampoo and conditioner to try and neutralise that and I think it has helped!

That is everything I bought! If you would like a full review on any of these products then please let me know and I will happily write one!

Have you bought anything nice recently?
