Love my postman today!

Got a few wee goodies in the post today so Mr Postman, you are my pal today :)

So I don't actually remember requesting this freebie but I must have as they sent me it! It's Smashbox's Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer. I've never used a primer before, I rarely use foundation to be honest so I wasn't too fussed when I saw this fall out the envelope. Thought I'd give it a wee go anyway, just on my hand today, will use it on my face fully another day.

I'll be honest, I wasn't really expecting anything from this. Having never used a primer before I didn't know if this was going to be good or not. I'm usually skeptical of any kind of foundations, bronzer, etc as my skin is really pale, when I try things, I just turn orange. That's never a good look!

As soon as I started blending it, I loved it! It became so creamy and silky, blended in lovely! I thought it was a bit too dark for me but once I blended it in fully, it looked fantastic!

A lot of blending up there! ^

Look at the lovely finish this leaves! I can't wait to try this with foundation to see what kind of finish I get then. I'm not going to rush out and buy this but maybe if I start wearing foundation more regularly, I might buy this or have a look around at other brands.

Do you use a primer? If so what kind?




Garnier Intensive 7days Challenge

I've been waiting a while for this wee gem! As soon as I got the email about it, I wanted to try it. My skin isn't the best, especially on my legs, it's rough, dry and flaky so this is right up my street! I'll be starting this tomorrow and will document my week, see how it goes. Inside you get 7 6ml sachets of Garnier's Ultra Softening Lotion with Shea Butter, 2 Skin Readers to be used before your first application and 2 hours after you last to check the results. There is plenty of information on the packaging as well as numbers to call for advice or if you have any questions.
You are also given their website and if you tell them how your week went using the product you could win one of the 100 magazine subscriptions they have to give away.


And to finish, my last goodie in the post. How fabulous are these?! 25p from ebay!
