I really like and recommend pretty much all of these products, everyone's skin is different but I have never had any problems with any of these products irritating my skin. The most expensive product here is my foundation, mainly because it is the most skin friendly and has the least bad chemicals in as it's is important for the thing that covers most skin to be the kindest. 17 is also and O.K. brand for skin, as is Rimmel. MUA is the cheapest here but I only really use the black eyeshadow from this palette. 
   I also recommend these products because they all feel good on the skin and are easy to apply. For the foundation you simply pour (I don't know how else to describe it) out some powder into the lid and use a powder brush to swirl it around. Then tap of the brush and apply to a big area of the face, like the forehead and use the brush to get rid of any build-ups of powder. The two eyeliners are both very easy and smooth to apply (obviously I don't wear them both at the same time though), the colours are also quite strong and the pencil has a small sponge on the opposite end to blend it in more as well for a more subtle look. The only thing that is more difficult to apply is the Va Va Voom mascara, when you first get it it is slightly clumpy and has a lot of mascara in the bottle which makes it easy to put too much mascara on. However it isn't too sticky and dries very quickly once on the eyelashes, it is a good mascara if you can work with a bigger brush and a lot of mascara in the bottle at first.
   Non of these products smudge or run throughout the day yet are still easy to take off at the end of the day, usually I just use a Simples sensitive skin face wipe before bed and a cotton pad with Nivea sensitive skin eyemake up remover on in the morning to get rid of any grey smudges. 
   All in all these products are really good and if anyone is looking for any new foundation, mascara, eye make-up, etc. for everyday use I recommend trying these. Thanks for reading and let me know in the comments if you would like me to do any posts on my make-up routine or how I do my everyday make-up etc.  :D

The Last Couple of Days in Photographs


My dad had his land-rover resprayed so he got it back, we drove around for a while and then put it in storage so it will be safe until my dad next comes to the U.K. 







Here are some pictures I took of flowers in vases whilst just messing around. I was just switching up the settings and experimenting.

This is the scariest lift I have ever been in, when you get in it drops a little and creaks and when it moves it sounds like somebody moaning! I tried to take the stairs as often as possible.



Messing around with the aperture settings here. My dad and I stopped for some lunch in a restaurant, where we both soaked up the free Wi-Fi and messed around on our laptops and I took some photos.
