Quick Christmas Haul

Hi everyone I just wanted to share a few christmas party items I purchased recently while out shopping!
So I've got quiet a few lunches out planned this year and I've been on the hunt for some new dress that I can turn from daytime lunch into full on party dresses. And out of all the places to find a party dress these two are from none other than Florence and Fred at Tesco!! 


So here are my two Tesco dresses and I love them, they are just what I was looking for and I just can't believe how nice they look on just goes to show you. Anyways along with the dresses I've also been bag searching on ebay and found this lovely gold sequin Topshop bag for a £5, bargain! 
I also picked up a lovely red nail varnish from H&M and my Giorgio Armani Samples which you can read about here. Have a great Sunday!

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Review

Hey everyone hope your all enjoying the run up to the holidays?!
So Today Im doing a review on the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I've seen this tested on blogs and its had great reviews and as a favourite of Kim Kardashian I thought I'd give it a go.


So I poped in to my local Fenwicks store in Newcastle which is the only place that sells Giorgio Armani make up in the North East. I've been searching for a great foundation for literally years, and after buying countless foundations and trying to match colours I wasn't going to just jump in and buy this foundation for £34 so the lovely girl on the counter gave me 3 sample pots to try out on my skin and match my colour perfectly.


The samples I got were the shades shown above 4.5, 5 and 5.5, Theres not a huge difference between 4.5 and 5 but shade 5.5 for me is far to dark. My perfect match is No.5 and as you can see by the pictures it's a lot more of a yellow undertone rather than the 4.5 which is a red undertone.

Overall the coverage from this is a good medium but if you after a full coverage for going out I would suggest layering it up as its pretty easy to build up or even adding it on top of another foundation. This foundation is apparently great for you nights out and taking pics as it has no spf so hopefully that means no dreaded ghost face photos but I've yet to try it on a night out so I'll keep you posted!
