Real Techniques

After all of the hype and good reviews surrounding Real Techniques brushes I finally decided to give them a go.  I started my collection perhaps a month and a half ago when I spotted the powder brush at a super cheap price in Asda.  I toyed with the notion of grabbing a blush brush too and after trying the powder brush for the first time I really wish I had!

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Blueberry

I've been a fan of Barry M nail polishes for a good few years.  I think for the price they are quite good quality and probably my favourite when it comes to drugstore brands.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

In the past I've avoided foundations, mostly because in my teens and early twenties I generally had pretty good skin.  In the last year or so however I've felt it more necessary to even out my skin tone.  I have never wanted to put a heavy base on my face as I didn't want to be able to feel it on my skin all day.

Creme Egg Brownies

Easter is around a month away and all of those tempting chocolate eggs are already on the shelves.  I remember as a kid making those chocolate cornflake 'nest' cakes was always part and parcel of the Easter holidays.  These Creme Egg Brownies are a richer, more indulgent treat but still quick and easy to make.

Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Duo

I don't often wear eyeshadow anymore.  Most of the time I'm just too lazy, unless I'm going out for the night.  When I do feel like applying it these days I tend to go for neutral colours that are quick to slap on and easy to blend.
