Casual oufit that I wore New Years Eve, Eve and my New Years nails

Outfit - I loved my jumper so much that I just had to wash it quick and wear it again and I just wore my Pennys/Primark jeggings (€9.00) and just a Pennys/Primark scarf (€4.00)

Such a plain and casual oufit but I was just having a lazy day!

 

Nails - No7 Damson Dream

 

 

My boyfriend had lit candles in his bedroom for when I arrived at his house (I think that was him being romantic), he knows I love candles.

My perfumes that I bought in Sepohora in New York. (Just thought I would add these in here)  I have never owned either of these perfumes before but they were both on my wishlist so I bought 'Ralph Lauren Pony Collection #2' in the 30ml bottle and then 'Vera Wang Lovestruck in the rollerball pen, handy for my handbag.          

 

Some of my Christmas presents

-Pilgrim jewellery (heart earrings with matching bracelet)

-OPI NYC Ballet mini nail varnish set

-No7 make up set (I was bought some nail varnish's as a gift and this came free). It contained a full size lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner and mini mascara.

-PIXY cosmetics gift set (2 bath bombs, soap and a honey balm)

 

Some more of my Christmas presents.

A gorgeous bag full of Soap and Glory products. I love the body scrub and cleanser and I have yet to try a few of the other products that I have never used before. Santy also put this gorgeous Essence Gingerbread Chai Latte hand balm in my stocking, very festive and smells yummy too!

 

So thats just a few pictures from my Christmas/New Years including a few of the presents I received. I love all of my presents and I am so grateful for them all! I know this post is a bit late up but better late then never I suppose.

MAC Foundation *Help*

So I've been wanting to invest in a MAC foundation for quite awhile now but as the price tag is not very bank account friendly, I want to make sure im going to get the use out of it! I hear many people give out about the texture or staying power of several of the MAC foundations. But none the less, Im still willing to give it a go.

Two of MAC's foundations that I hear a lot of people use are the 'Pro Longwear' foundation and the 'Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15'. To be completally honest as I am a complete newbie to the MAC foundation range I have no idea at all of the differences between these two products, or if they are worth the money.

Im looking for a foundation with medium - full coverage. I have combination skin so oil based foundations don't usually work well for me. Im mainly going to use it as a photo/occasion/nights out foundation, situations where I know there will be lots of photos so I will be wanting a flawless finish.

If anyone has any recommendations on which MAC foundation they think would be best for me whether it is one I have mentioned or another from their range it would be greatly appreciated! :) I'd also love to hear what MAC foundation you use and your opinion on MAC foundations.
