A Beautiful BB Cream- Full Coverage Mineral Makeup!

For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while now you would be aware that I have used Jane Iredale’s mineral powder for a good few years, I haven’t switched to anything else as that powder is my Holy Grail product! 

After seeing my mums skin look amazing with Jane Iredale’s Mineral BB Cream called ‘Glow Time’ I knew I had to get my hands on some- I have been reluctant to try this for a while now as I have previously only used the powder and I was afraid that I would glow too much since it's called 'Glow Time'

After buying and using this product I can raise my hands and say that I LOVE IT, it gives me everything that I could want in a BB cream! Carry on reading and I'll tell you all about it...

Coverage and appearance 

With this BB Cream a little goes a long way, so for £40 (which I know isn't cheap) you are really getting your money’s worth, it gives you an amazing flawless glow whilst doing a really good job of covering any imperfections and fine lines. 

For someone with naturally oily skin the word ‘glow’ initially put me off as I was worried it could make my skin even oilier but instead it gives me a healthy glow and doesn't bring out the oily parts of your face. I would recommend setting it with a little bit of powder on those areas that are prone to oil- this helps it stay on even longer and avoids it going patchy!

 I would personally put this at high coverage however for the amount of coverage it provides it feels so light on your skin and it still allows your skin to breath. 

The Feel

Although you can feel that it's there, this BB cream feels so light on the skin and doesn't have that heavy, caked on feel to it, instead It has a nice consistency that applies and blends easily on to the skin. It doesn’t feel like it’s drying or capable of clogging pores which is what you want in an everyday face product- especially when you have sensitive skin! 

Skin Protection

Another amazing thing about this BB cream is it has an SPF of 25- so you don’t need to worry about applying sun cream, or threat about getting wrinkles! It is also water proof for up to 40 minutes so if it rains (it most likely will in England) then you don’t need to worry about it wearing off and going patchy. 

The Colour Range 

There is a good range of shades to suit every skin tone- BB5 is the one I picked up and it is described as light/medium with yellow undertones. I found that this is a perfect match for my skin tone! 

Natural Ingredients, cruelty free & vegan

Glow time BB cream is made from many different minerals and extracts including:

grapefruit extract: which claims to minimise the appearance of wrinkles and pores 
and also Apple extract: a skin smoothing antioxidant that exfoliates, refines and rejuvenates the skin! 

I am delighted to say that Jane Iredales’s products are certified 100% cruelty free by the CCIC Leaping bunny programme! So you don’t need to worry about the use of animals for testing when ordering these products!

This product is also completely vegan friendly so you won’t miss out on this amazing product if you're vegan.

My Verdict: 

If you want a high end, high quality and high coverage face product that is suitable for sensitive skin then I would definitely recommend trying this BB Cream! It is on the pricier side of the scale at £40 but...one tube will last you a long time and in my opinion you definitely get your money's worth with all the benefits it brings to your skin.

2017 Fashion Trends!

So one thing that I am pretty good at, not that it's ever going to be any use in an interview or to impress someone... is spotting upcoming/current fashion trends.

I have to admit, I spend A LOT of my lunch times in high street stores looking at or buying clothes and so I thought I would share the fashion trends that I think are upcoming in 2017!

1.  Embroidery

Take a quick walk through any high street clothes shop at the moment and one trend that you'll notice is everything has embroidery on it, from boots to jeans and jumpers- EVERYTHING is embroidered and I don't know how I feel about it! I personally think the embroidered Mom jeans are pretty cool however I don't think I'll be investing just yet!

I found this gorgeous baby pink embroiled jumper and I was gutted to find that it is out of stock! however you can find it in grey HERE

2. Frills

The next thing that I spotted again and again in several different shops is Frills! I think frills are really girly and feminine so I was quite pleased to see these on tops, jumpers and even skirts, wearing frills is a great way to bring something more bold into your outfit whilst maintaining an elegant touch.

I love this black pencil skirt with frill detailing, I think it's perfect to wear to work or a more dressy occasion- this would go well with a plain top or blouse and a jacket! Find it HERE on Newlook

3. Pleats

Personally, I'm quite happy about this trend as I love pleated skirts, I think they're elegant and girly and a great statement piece (perfect for valentines day paired with some heels! ) I haven't yet owned one and so I had to order this one from H&M , even better it's in the sale! Find it HERE

4. Stripes

Stripes seems to come back in year after year as it really is a classic, 'safe' look to go for! I personally love stripes, in particular black or navy as they seem to go with my blonde hair. I think that wearing stripes is a great way to make a statement with your outfit. I have been loving my striped, lace up jumper from Primark- Find it HERE for a bargain price of £10.

5. Pastels

I have started to notice the gorgeous pastel pinks, blues and yellows reappearing in the High street stores! I have always loved pastel colours: the subtlety and 'girliness' of them just appeals to me. When i was wondering around Toyshop I couldn't resist this cute pastel pink and striped raincoat, yes it may be slightly overpriced- but look how gorgeous it is! Find it HERE.

I hope you enjoy reading about what I think the trends of 2017 currently are. what do you think is currently trending within the fashion world? 

I will be back soon with another post!
