Fenty beauty foundation.

Hello so yesterday I bought one of the new foundations by fenty beauty so I thought I'd do a review about it.

Rihanna came out with a new beauty range called fenty beauty to go with her clothing line and shoes.
She's released a few different products such as highlighters, contour sticks, foundations, lip glosses and primers bit I got the foundation.

There are 40 different shades of her new foundation and I got the shade 150. This shade is perfect for my skin tone. When you first apply it, it looks slightly too light but it does oxidise a bit so it matches really well.

This is really easy to apply and I would recommend using a brush as you get a better coverage ( I use the spectrum one).

The packaging for for this is really nice and the bottle is matte with a white lid and a white pump.

The foundation has a matte finish and is very good for if you have oily skin like me because it stays matte all day and covers pores. It is quite pricey at £26 but I think it's worth the money as you get good coverage, it stays matte all day and you get 32ml.

I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good matte high end foundation.

Clothes haul.

Hello so today I am going to be telling you about some of the clothes I have recently bought as I haven't done a haul in a while.

So the first thing is this missguided x barbie t shirt. This was £18 and I absolutely love it. The material feels so nice and it's really comfy because it's oversized. In real life the colours are a little bit darker than the photo but it still looks really nice. This is completely sold out at the moment but there are still other items from the range available and I'm sure they'll be restocked.

The next thing I got was this ciao Bella t shirt from topshop for £18. I love this so much and the material is really nice too. I like to tuck this into black shorts and wear it with a denim jacket.

Next is this coral pink t shirt from asos with black and white rope in the side. I wasn't sure of this at first but it was in the sale for £9 so I got it and I really like it. It's very comfortable and it is just the right length for a crop top.

Finally I got a red hoodie from primark for £8. This is the most comfortable hoodie I've ever had and it's so warm inside. It's a really good price and I would definitely recommend it. All I would say is wash it first otherwise you end up with red fluff all over what ever you wear underneath it!

The best restaurants in Madeira.

Hello so last week I did a blog about some of the best cafes to go to in Madeira so I thought this week I would do a blog about the best restaurants.

So the first one is called casa das espetadas which is a really nice outdoor kebab restaurant. The food here is incredible and i would love to go here again. You chose what meat you have and they hang it down from the table and all the food comes with it. You get traditional maderian bread with garlic butter, salad, chips, potatoes, octopus, olives, cheese and there's always some traditional singing/ dancing on.

The next place which I loved too is called leenos. In here you can get meat which you can cook on a hot stone in front of you. I had spaghetti bolognaise which was amazing and it has outside seating which you can see the sea from and all the staff here are very nice too.

Finally is mamma mia which is an Italian restaurant. Italian food is my favourite so I loved the food here. I had garlic bread and pizza which was honestly the best I've ever had. It's really nice outside in the evening and I would definitely going here if you love Italian food.

The rest of the week when I was there I just stayed in my hotel for tea which was very nice.
I would definitely recommend eating in any of these restaurants.

The best cafes to go to in Madeira.

Hello so a few weeks ago I went on holiday to the pestana Carlton hotel in Madeira and I absolutely loved it. I decided to do a blog about some of the best cafes I went to because google was good for some places but it was quite hard to find some places to try out. I will do one about the restaurants next week.

So the first cafe is called well.com coffee bar and it doesn't look like somewhere I would usually go for but the food is so nice. This cafe mainly sells burgers with traditional bread and traditional chips but I had an omelette which was very nice. There is a lot to choose from here and you can sit outside so it's really nice.

The next cafe is called Barreirnha Bar Cafe. This one has views of the sea when you sit outside and has umbrellas so you don't get too hot. The menu here is really good because you can get sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs paninis etc. I had a vegetarian burger which was very nice and it is quite cheap here too.

Next is A Confeitaria. This cafe is mainly all about the cakes/ dessert. It's so nice I went here twice. They have everything from sausage rolls, sandwiches, traditional Madeiran pastries, cakes, brownies etc. I had sausage rolls, a bueno brownie and a Nutella doughnut which were incredible. This cafe was so cheap too and the staff are nice and helpful. You can also sit out the front.

Finally is Pastelaria e Padaria Momentus which is a cafe at the top of a very steep hill. This is the cheapest out of them all and it has more traditional things therefore not as much choice but it is still really nice. I had a tuna pizza and a bueno brownie. This was only about €5 and you can sit outside too.

Birchbox August 2017.

Hello so today I'm going to be telling you what I got inside this months birchbox.

This is what I got. I really like the box because it looks like a mermaid, the colours are really nice, I like the shiny gold and the boxes are like draws so you can display them and it's really easy to get into them.

The first thing everyone gets inside is a full size spectrum contour brush. You get a choice between two different colours/ designs or you can get a random one. I couldn't decide so I said surprise me. I got this one which looks so nice and it's called glam cam. I love this brush because it's really good for blush, bronzer or contour and it's really soft too.

Next I got a full size LOC eyeshadow stick in the shade out of your shell. This is really nice as a base shade or for the inner corners of your eye.

Then I got a NUXE oil shimmer. You can use this on your face, body or hair and it smells really good. I haven't tried it in my hair but I like it to put on as a highlighter or on your arms to make you look more shimmery.

Next I got a yes to tomatoes detoxifying charcoal paper mask. I haven't had the chance to try this one yet but all you do is put it on your face for 10 minutes and then take it off like a normal face mask.

Finally I got a sugar texturising hair spray. I really like this because you can spray it into wet or dry hair and it makes your hair have a natural wave. My hair is already naturally wavy but it makes it look less frizzy.

Overall I'm really impressed with everything I got in this months birchbox and I would definitely recommend looking into getting one.

Zoella jelly and gelato beauty range.

Hello so the other day when I went shopping I bought some of zoellas new beauty range so I thought I'd do a review of it.

These are the three things I bought. It was 3 for 2 so I got one of them for free.

The first thing I got was the gelat'eau body mist. At first I didn't really like the smell because I thought it smelt a bit like bubble mixture but now I love it. It smells like elderflower so it's really fresh and is nice to spray in your room or on yourself. This was £8 which I think is really good because it stays on all day.

The next thing I got was the shower shake body wash. I love the packaging for this because it looks like an ice cream. This is weird because you can't really see it when you're washing yourself with it but it feels really nice because it also moisturises your skin. This was £6.

The last thing I got was the cream scrub body scrub which was £8. I really like this because it is orange which is one of my favourite colours and it smells good too. This works really well and the smell stays all day.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Random haul.

Hello so today I went shopping and bought a few things so I thought I'd do a blog post about what I got.

So the first thing I got was this white Bardot top from Zara for £5.99. I really like this because it was really cheap and fits really well. Also the material feels really good so I'm looking forward to wearing this.

The next thing I got was purple kinetic sand from the entertainer for £3.20. I've wanted kinetic sand for a while now because I find it really satisfying and I like cutting it with cookie cutters and a knife.

I also got a pack of tools to go with it for £2 from the entertainer so I had more things to do with the sand.

Then I went to boots and got a coconut infusion nail varnish from Barry m in the shade flip flop. I really like the colour orange and this was only £4.99 so I got one.

Finally I got a matte top coat by Barry m for £2.99. I love this because it's just a normal top coat but it makes any nail varnish matte so you don't have to buy matte nail varnishes.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.
