I swear, every time I start a blog post I have a story to go a long with it. Well today is no different, haha.

Me and my little sister arranged a little makeup shopping trip to Westfield (Stratford). She was on the hunt for a new foundation (you can see what I purchased here) and some new lip products. I took her into the NYX store because they have such a good range of colours/finishes and are super affordable.

 MAC HAUL

For the longest time I've been using MAC Studio Sculpt, but I've been wanting to change up my foundation for a while. I went into MAC at Westfield in Stratford to try and find a new foundation. I sat down with a lovely MAC artist, who asked me what I wanted in my new foundation. I wanted, a foundation that was not heavy and wasn't too full coverage. She picked up Mineralize Moisture foundation for me to test out.

When it comes to makeup, brows and liner are my nemesis. Doing them on clients is fine but on me, it's always just been a struggle, especially because I can't wear my glasses when I do it.

I have never been unhappy with my brows and only in the last like 6 years have I bothered to even brush my brows when I wore make up. I have quite full brows, but the hairs aren't thick. But I always felt like putting stuff in my brows made me look like a descendant of Groucho Marx, but now I just want to give my brows a little zhoosh when I have a full face on.
