Mac Prep + Prime

As I mentioned in my last post, I was looking for a face primer. I had been looking at the Mac Prep + Prime Skin Base and after much thought on the matter, I just went for it! Mac had free postage on at the time as well so I think that swayed my judgement! Who can resist free postage? 

Mac Prep + Prime 

£18 for 30ML

As soon as I opened it up, I put a bit on my hand and the first thing I noticed was how smooth it felt when rubbed into the skin. This gave me a good feeling about the product. I've now been using it for about 10 days and I can really see the difference in my make-up at the end of the day. Normally my make-up would be a bit patchy by about 1PM but now I can go until about 9-10PM and it still looks like I've just put it on. This was put into practice on Saturday when I went to Hard Rock Calling. I got up about 7:00PM and didn't get home until 12midnight. My eye make-up was all over the place but my foundation and concealer were still perfect! I really couldn't believe that it had stayed in place for 17 hours!! It wasn't like I was just having a normal day either. It was a really hot day in London so I had applied sun cream over the top of my foundation and had been dancing most of the evening. 

The only thing I don't like so much about this product is the size. For £18 you only get 30ML. If I'm going to be using a pump of this 5-7days a week, its going to run out quite quickly. This won't stop me repurchasing it though.

I hope this helped some of you out and if you have any more questions regarding the product you can ask me here or on Twitter. Also, do any of you want to hear about Hard Rock Calling? It will probably just be me going on about Bon Jovi and I'm not sure if anyone actually wants to hear about that! 

Tuesday's Thoughts

Well I haven't done one of these in a while! I wish I could say I have so much to tell you all, but I really don't. I'm that boring! Anyway....

1) I had my college interview on Monday. I'm applying for a Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Consultancy. The interview was fine, I tried my very hardest to impress them and it must have worked as the woman said she is going to recommend I get on the course and I should get a letter soon! 

2) If you follow me on Twitter, I'm sure you will know by now my crazy love (some may say obsession) for Bon Jovi. I did a post about when I went to see them last summer and I'm going to see them in Hyde Park for Hard Rock Calling on the 25th June. I couldn't be more exited if I tried! I've arranged to meet up with a lovely girl from Twitter who I have been talking to a lot over the past few months and we are going to go together as I had nobody to go with. Not many of my friends like Bon Jovi! 

3) If anyone can help, I'm looking to buy a face primer as my make-up now decides it doesn't want to stay-in-place any more. I haven't used one before so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great! I've been looking at this one from Mac. Has anyone used it? 

And I had to include a New York inspired picture, as after last nights Glee episode, that's all I can think about <3

Recent Loves

I was really in the mood to blog last night,which hasn't happened in a very long time. I decided to wait until tonight though as I had my last exam today so I thought I should probably do some revision instead! So all my AS exams for this year are now over. You don't know how good it feels to finally say that! Well, most of you I'm sure do :)

I thought I would do any easy post to get me back into the swing of things, so I'm just showing you a few things which I've recently purchased and I'm loving. 

 Firstly, its got to be the new Sims 3 Generations! I've been waiting for a while for this to come out (being the Sims geek which I am) and I was on it most weekend! Don't judge me :D

Next up is the Models Own blusher in Peach Blush. This isn't new but I've only just started to use it again. At the moment I put it over my Eyeko highlighter cream and it gives a lovely shimmer to the cheeks! The Bourjois nail vanish in Tangerine Fatal is a new purchase and it's fast becoming my favourite polish. Its a bright coral orange perfect for summer. 

As I had my last exams today I was very, very nervous and I think anyone that even looked at me could tell. I don't deal very well with stress! Because of this, my mum said she would buy me a little something to celebrate. As I'm a huge lover of New York, she got me this little travel book! Even though I haven't got a trip there planned, she knows I'm determined to go and I will get there someday :) I think I'm also slightly addicted to this beautiful smelling, rose hand cream. I won it in Jess' Easter egg blog hunt and I'm so glad I did because this little beauty comes with me everywhere now! 

And finally, I bought this bag last week from H&M after deciding I would need a 'across body bag' (?! No idea what you call them!) as I'm going to Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park this month! The main reason I'm going is to see my favourite band, Bon Jovi. I'm sure you know my love for them by now if you follow me on Twitter! But anyway, I thought I wouldn't want to be hanging on to a bag all afternoon and wanted something I could just keep all my essentials in. This fits the job description nicely! 

Hope you enjoyed my little catch up post and hopefully you will all be seeing a bit more of me around here. 

One Year On

Two Turtle Doves was created one year ago today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! In some ways it feels like forever ago I started this blog up but in others I can still remember sitting at my computer typing out my first post. I know I've been very quite on her so far this year, but I'm really lacking ideas on what to post about. I'm hoping once I finish my exams in early June I will have more of an idea of where I want my blog to go, but I'm not there yet! Hopefully you guys will hang on in there but I completely understand if not. Hope you're all doing well and I can't wait until I'm back on here for regular posts.

Bye for now :) xoxo

Tuesday's Thoughts

A day late, but oh well. I had to revise for a psychology test yesterday so I couldn't think about much else!

1) I think I have finally decided to go to college in September. I have filled out the application form and and going to hand it in on Saturday when I go to their open day! I feel like things are finally falling into place for once :)

2) I bought some things from the new Mac Wonder Woman collection last week and it all came on Friday, but once I opened it the blusher I had bought was all smashed :( I was really upset but it was beyond my control. At least it still works!

3) Chloe, my friend that moved to Switzerland, is moving back at the end of this month! I'm so happy that I will get to see her loads over the summer and catch up on everything we have missed.

4) Hopefully going to get some of these Groupon vouchers everyone keeps on going on about tonight. I have loads of stuff saved in my basket and would love to buy some of them!

And you can't have a post without any pictures, so I had to include this adorable puppy! 

Bad Blogger

Its been exactly a month since I lasted posted anything, and I do feel really bad! I would love to tell you a great reason for my disappearance in the blogging world, but I really don't have one. I just don't have the motivation to do much lately. Sixth form isn't what I expected it to be and I dread going in most days, so when I do get home all I want to do is snuggle up in front of the telly and forget about the day. At the moment I'm considering not going back to sixth form in September and instead going to college. Since starting my blog back in May I've become really interested in make-up (and slightly obsessed!) and I would love to make a career out of it. My local college do a beauty therapy course, so please take a look and tell me what you think!

Just writing this post makes me realise how much I enjoy sharing stuff with you guys, sometimes you lot are easier to talk to then the people around me. I also realised how much I have missed blogging, which hopefully means I will pull myself together and get some more posts coming your way! I thought I would include a picture of myself as my appearance has changed a lot since you last saw me. I got the fringe I asked you all about before Christmas and I also got glasses yesterday for my rubbish eyesight! 

Happiness

After a pretty horrible day at school today I came home to an email informing me that someone on Tumblr had asked me a question. I get quite nervous when I see that normally because I expect someone to be mean or its most likely spam. But to my surprise, it was the most loveliest message I think I have ever received from anyone, let alone a stranger.  

I originally thought that this Tumblr blog just sent out these sweet messages to random people, but after looking at their blog I could see that you could ask them to send someone a inspiring message. After reading a few of their posts I saw that an anonymous person had asked them to send me one :) 

 

It was so lovely to think someone had taken the time to ask these people to send me something and that a person would be so kind and caring to a person they don't know. I doubt I will ever find out who did this for me, but I am well and truly grateful :)

Bye for now :) xoxo
