MAC MSF Natural...
So im planning to get another msf natural, im really debating between the medium dark and the medium deep. I want to use it all over after ive done my foundation. How sheer are these? Do you girls use them all over your face or just around the cheek area?? I have got the medium plus one and was wondering how that colour compares with the medium dark and then the medium deep? Your thoughts would be a great help? x

MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer
Hi girlies,
Long time no post! Im currently on the hunt for a good concealer. Back in the day I use to use the Stila one which came in a little tube. Unfortunately Stila no longer sell their products in the UK and I cant be faffed with trying to find somewhere online that sells it. Anyway ive tried quire a few concealers since, inc Boing by Benefit, Studio Finish by Mac, and a couple of others, the names of which fail me at the moment! None of these are up to scratch, all either too light, too dark, to pinky or too drying! I was chatting with "MAC!!..luz**" and she suggested I try the Select Cover-Up. I would say im about an nc25, the nc30 is the perfect colour tone wise, it having golden/yellow undertones however its just a tad bit too dark. Im very pale but pretty much always fake tan. Anyways, guess what...they dont do the select cover in nc25, the next one down is nc23 and if you look on the online swatch it looks pinky. I appreciate the swatches are never accurate but im still a little wary as its not cheap concealer. If anyone has a swatch of the nc23 that would be great! If not perhaps someone could advise what the colour nc23 actually looks like.
Thanks xx

NOTD
Sorry for the quality of this picture, it was off my Blackberry. I just thought I would post this up as I bought this nail varnish today and absolutely love it. Its the perfect baby pink which no doubt is why Barry M called it "baby pink. Its number 119. I see alot of bloggers rating Barry M nail varnishes for the vast range of colours. It seems the darker and brighter colours that get the most mention but I have to say this colour is gorgeous and I would definately recommend everyone to go and get it!

Mac 209, 263 or 266! HELP!
I have just ordered Mac fluidline but didnt order a brush as I cant decide which one to get. The look im going for is natural so I dont want a massively heavy looking line. I want a brush that is good for beginners as in the past I have always used pencil liner. If anyone can tell me which one of these brushes would suit me best or which shaped one I will be better off with then I would be very grateful. If you have another make of brush to recommend then im all up for that too.
Thank you in advance xx

Ins & Outs
Ins:-
Naked Honey Skin Salve - Really like this product. I tend to just use it on my lips. I particularly love the smell!
Nars Turkish Delight Lip Gloss - I bought this at Harvey Nics at the Mail Box last weekend and have been wearing everyday since. I have read alot of reviews of people saying it doesnt last very long on the lips. It lasts no less than any other lip gloss I own so im happy with the staying power. Also it doesnt have that funny smell that people say about, it smells of nothing to me.
Nars Ashes to Ashes e/s - I have recently wanted to try out wearing colours in my crease as im very boring when it comes to my make-up and tend to stick to the same colours all the time. I thought this would be a good colour and also its not too pigmented so its quite subtle for a "crease beginner". Would like to know of a good brush to use for the crease colour as at the mo im using a cheapo brush from H&M and its ok but not ideal.
Mac Sugarrimmed Dazzleglass - This is such a nice gloss. Its glittery but once on the lips unless you have someone standing directly in front of your face, about 1 inch away then you wont see the glitter. It looks great over Mac Creme D'Nude.
French Connection Fragrance - I love this perfume. It smells like lemon so its a very fresh scent. FC do two perfumes this one and the FCUK Fragrance (i think thats the name), the FC one is in a clear glass bottle and the FCUK one is in a frosted glass bottle. You can buy a 30ml one which fits nicely in your bag for £10 and then the 50ml (again not 100% of the size) is £15. Bargain!
Out:-
Too Faced Shadow Insurance - When I first bought this it was great, my eyeshadows stopped creasing and I thought "great". However now that it is coming to the end of the tube (may be the reason why) it doesnt seem to be as effective. Also from day one its had this gone off smell, which is horrid. Im finding to that where I havent covered with eyeshadow it goes cakey and I find it quite drying.
Tigi Dumb Blonde Shampoo - There is nothing really wrong with this however my hairdresser said that the L'oreal Elvive range are just as good and when you have washed your hair it feels really soft whereas the Tigi shampoo it still feels quite tangled. If you can get as good a shampoo for half the price then you are going to!
John Frieda Dream Curls - I use the Straightening Potion in this range, the sister product to Dream Curls which I think is great. I have wavy/curlyish hair and wear it straight all the time. I thought it would be nice to have a change and bought the Dream Curls. Not good, I find it straightens my hair more than the potion does! It just pulls the curls out. I find this with alot of curl enhancing products though so could just be my hair. Wierd!
Bourjois Nail Varnishes - I just find these not very hard wearing. They cheap almost immediately. I do have to take some o fhte blame as my nails arent in the strongest condition but then I dont find this problem with my Revlon nail varnish so its a bit of a shame as Bourjois have a great collection of colours.
The Weather - I couldnt think of anymore products that I hadnt loved recently so I thought id complain about the weather. Its August and it keeps raining, very depressing :-(
