Garnier BB cream review

So your wondering... What is a bb cream!? :)

A BB cream is a blemish balm which is used in replacement of a foundation

It is easier and simpler to use and gives the appearance of natural looking skin!

I have just used up the Garnier BB cream under eye concealer and i could not have been happier!

I've been asked constantly did i get a new foundation and the good news is its only been BB cream.

In the past few months my skin has had a dramatic change, from acne prone to this clear skin and i thank my BB cream!

First of all, I have become a BB cream addict, there great in the summer for that light, no make up make up feel and in the winter to help perk up that pale milk bottle skin!  I have only been using the drugstore brands and this is my fourth BB cream. 

I love the smell! The scent is very like white tea and ginger. I love this bb cream overall because it is so moisturizing and blurs blemishes nicely. In the winter i mix it with some foundation for a heavier coverage. .

I purchased the light to medium and the color is good for me, i'm generally very fair. With pale white skin i advise getting the fair as the medium really is very very tanned! It does not have pink undertones which i love. Bye bye pink cheeks!

It has undertones on the warmer side. I have very dry skin and usually have a problem with any foundation in the winter for this reason, this gives me extra moisture and it has medium coverage, it definitely improves the look of your skin. This BB cream is hydrating therefore is unsuitable for oily skin and better for use in the winter for normal/combination and dry skin types. I would never recommend this bb cream to someone with oily skin as it is extremely heavy! Their oil free version would be perfect for oily skin!

Happy Skin Days :)

Boohoo clothing haul - @Iamkatedillon93

Its the best time of year! Christmas :)

Im obsessed with Christmas.. the food... the smells.. the clothing..

So recently i've done a bit of shopping to keep myself nice and warm this winter.

I placed an order on Boohoo.Com and i could not have been happier! I planned on getting one or two pieces i ended up with a few more!

The HUGE package

I was so impressed by the value and the quality of the clothing, Sometimes i hate online shopping as it is very hard to tell sizing, length, shape etc! Boohoo has a great catwalk show and it shows all the pieces on real life models!

Two quirky items i got from Boohoo are these mustache design tank tops.

The first is grey and has a large mustache saying oui! Its got drop arm holes and its really quite cute! Was only €12!!
This would be gorgeous paired with anything, i can not wait to wear this paired with wine leggings and a cute blazer!

The next is another mustache tank. This ones much longer and has hundreds of I love mustache badges. It was on sale for €8 and seeming its Movember i taught why not!! The back is an almost sheer fabric, layered correctly this could work for all seasons! I love love love this!

I am obsessed with blazers. Anyone who knows me knows that so i got this dogtooth black and white blazer from Boohoo. I think it has a vintage style and will be great dressed up or down. It was only €22 and i love it. I was blown away with the quality of this, i was expecting a thin knit blazer but this blazer has an almost tweed like feel. The design is gorgeous and the shape would flatter any figure! This is my favorite piece i have ever bought from Boohoo! And of coarse i bought the oui top underneath cause of the picture  ;)

The next is a cute black jumper from Boohoo with a gorgeous white lace detailing. It was only €22. I think this would be perfect with leggings are jeans and great for layering this Christmas :) On the website this looks like a heavy knit jumper in my opinion. But its actually very thin, it'd be great to layer with hats, gloves and scarves and the heart detail is to die for! One problem with this, its hand wash only, but soooo worth it!

It comes in tons of colours and i will be buying all of them!

Another piece from Boohoo is a cream wide knit jumper with a love heart detailing in the same colour. Its 3/4 length sleeve is very flattering and super cute! This is actually very short in person and hits just above the waist, the heart detail is gorgeous and didn't quite pick up on camera. Sadly they only have it left in black but for 15 euro its a total bargain!

Buy here!

My next thin to buy! I am so angry i didn't wait one more day and i could have bought this gorgeous jumper! It came out the day after i had placed my order! Of coarse its the same pattern as the tank top but hey, a girl can't have too many mustache things! I love this and will be buying it asap!

Here's a voucher to enter at the check out for 10% off everything! Oh did i mention free postage to Ireland? ;)

I had a small problem with the Alex heart jumper as it was pulling at the neck line. I tweeted boohoo and straight away customer care got in touch! Overall i genuinely love this website, i think it has grown so well and the staff are obviously very caring towards their customers!

Their returns policy is free and fast! I can not fault them!!!

Why not try it out for Christmas?

Happy shopping days!
