Testing: Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation

I'm always trying to find the absolute perfect base for my make up. I find if you can't get the base right, then you have to work twice as hard to get the rest of your face looking how you want. So when I hear rave reviews about a foundation, that seemingly ticks all the boxes on my foundation wishlist, it takes a bulldozer to stop me trying it. Enter, Laura Mercier's newest base addition.

Ten Years

 

 

Ten years ago today my husband asked me to be his girlfriend. And I said yes. Ten years. And what a ten years it's been.

I've always loved the idea of having my own home, and filling it with personal touches and momentos. Including, but not limited to photo frames decorating the walls.

Testing: Failed Dupes for Holy Grail Base Products

 

Finding a potential dupe for a high end product always gets me super excited. Firstly because it means I can finally stop spending out on the higher end version, and second of all I love sharing dupes with you guys.
