L'OREAL-'nude magique BB cream'

A couple of weeks ago now I bought L'oreal's new BB cream, and overall I am quite impressed with the coverage of this one. I have used a number of BB creams before as I like the light coverage they give and all the things that come with them (hydration/ SPF). Out of the ones I have tried this one lasts the longest, and will give me coverage to last a full school day. It also gives my skin a nice glow without being too shiny, and smooths out the texture of my skin, while still looking natural.
 The only thing this product could improve on is the range of shades they offer, I believe their is only three (light/medium/dark) I got the light one but I still find it a bit dark for my skin tone, and I have to mix it with moisturiser to achieve the right shade, I don't have really pale skin either. 

Overall I'm really enjoying using this product and I think the coverage is really good to say its a BB cream, if you're thinking of purchasing a BB cream I would definitely recommend this one, just make sure you have some moisteriser in case you need to adapt the colour! 

-Hope you enjoyed the post! Comment down below if you have tried out any BB creams and if so what your favorites are? :)

Barry M Textured Nail Varnish Review

 
Hi! So I recently purchased one of barry m's textured nail polishes, and I was very excited to try it out as I love barry m nail polishes and I wanted to see how to the 'textured' affect was going to work out! When you first put it on it looks like a normal nail polish would look, then after about two minutes it starts to show bubbles, which gives it its textured look. (Sorry i'm rubbish at describing what I see haha!) They don't take too long to dry, about 10 minutes to be on the safe side, this is what they look like dry...
 

 
 
As you can see I went for the minty greeny/bluey colour and I really like the affect it gives, now I know this won't be everybody's cup of tea as people like their varnish to be very smooth and sleek, but I feel its quite a fun unique look and I will be definitely using this again, (especially in the summer).
 
 
 
If you're thinking about buying this I would recommend putting a base coat on first it really helps as it gives the varnish a smooth base to work on, and I wouldn't recommend putting a top coat on as I feel it will just ruin and smooth out the textured affect you have gone for. This polish was £3.99 and you can get it from shops like boots and superdrug, you'll also be able to get it online, so why not, treat yourself ;)
