I didn't have too much of a busy bank holiday weekend, but I never really do to be honest, not being 18 is actually such an inconvenience a lot of the time. But only 3 months until I am 18, wahoo! I spent the whole of Sunday at my house with my boyfriend and then the Monday it was one of my best friends birthdays so we went on a little shopping trip to Bury and had Nandos too, highlight of my week. Me and my boyfriend are hoping to go bowling and to Nandos tomorrow (again, yay!).
How was your Bank Holiday weekend? 

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

MAC Studio Finish SPF Concelear NC30 - £14.50

On the MAC Cosmetics website, they claim that the Studio Finish Concealer is a 'lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer' and to some extent I do agree with this. I wouldn't say that this is one of their lightweight concealers if you want to get good coverage like me although if using for things like blotchiness, it could definitely be seen as a lightweight concealer but if you want to cover spots, blemishes, scarring etc you definitely need to apply more to get fuller coverage, making it more on the medium/heavy side! 

For over a year now this has been my go-to concealer as I have a fair bit of spot scarring on my face and it covers the redness of blemishes really well and it stays put throughout the day with only needing to reapply minimal amounts during the day which I love! If you're looking for a concealer to cover up dark circles under your eyes, when first applying it, it does have good coverage for them however over the course of the day I have found that it sinks into the fine lines under the eyes so I would say it is slightly too heavy for this area of the face. If you have dry - normal skin, this concealer may not be the best for you as it is very creamy and doesn't apply very well around dry places/blemishes on the skin. 

I tend to use this concealer both under and over my foundation, however i do use a lighter shade under my foundation and when I use it I seem to have flawless skin coverage, which is what I am aiming for. I love this product and will probably always use this as it is in a reasonable price range of only £14.50 and it lasts for a good 6-12 months depending on how much you use. If you're looking to start a MAC collection this is definitely worth investing in to start off your collection especially for troubled skin.

Weekly Wishlist #1

1. Zara Studded Leather Shopper - I'm in dire need of a new college bag for when i go back in September so hopefully i'll be able to get my hands on this before then!

2. Origins Brighter By Nature Peel - On the Origins website, they claim that this is best for dark spots & discolouration. I've suffered with bad skin for a large sum of the past few years going back and forth between varying products and antibiotics to help clear it up. Only recently have I started using origins products that have actually made such a massive difference and now I just want everything. Because of my bad skin, I've been left with scarring and reading the reviews on the website for this, it seems to be the best thing out of the origins collection to help diminish the scars but with such a hefty price tag (£30!!!!!), I'm not too sure how soon i'll be buying this.

3. NARS Laguna Bronzer - Yes, i am another one of those people who have joined onto the hype of this bronzer. Back in April, I was on a family holiday to Florida and mum decided to treat me in Sephora to one thing and this is what I chose before I had any idea of the huge buzz around this product and it's safe to say that this is the best bronzer I've ever used and unless i find something else that's even better (doubtful) this will be a must-have product for my every day makeup! I need to repurchase this very soon as mine is on it's last legs :(

4. MAC 109 Small Contour Brush - I currently use a cheapo blush brush, that malts all over my face when I put on my bronzer and blush and frankly it is getting right on my nerves. I don't own any proper MAC brushes apart from the mineralize collection ones which are brilliant so I may need to invest in this brush too.

5. Office Nighthawk Boots - When I first saw these boots in the Office shop in Manchester, I fell in love with them! They are so similar the extremely expensive yet bloody gorgeous Chloe studded boots that a lot of celebrities have been seen wearing and I need them. Hopefully, i'll be able to talk my mum into getting these bad boys for me!
