#1 Greed - What is your most expensive beauty item?
That would have to be my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette at £36. To some people, it probably doesn't sound that expensive and I do know that there are more expensive beauty products out there, but to me it is. But I get a lot of use out of it, so it certainly hasn't gone to waste.

#2 Wrath - What beauty item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Hmm... this is a tricky one, however, I'd have to go with eyeshadow pigments! I love the fact that they come in a variety of different shades, but it's just the fact that they get EVERYWHERE!

#3 Gluttony - What brand makes up the biggest chunk of your makeup collection?
I don't own a huge amount of makeup, but Rimmel London probably makes up the largest chunk of my whole collection.

#4 Sloth - What product do you neglect to use due to laziness?
I'm so lazy when it comes to curling my eyelashes, I only curl them a few times a week, maybe not even that. I'm going to try and start using them more though.

#5 Pride - Which beauty product gives you the most confidence?
Foundation. I sometimes get redness in my cheeks and a get the odd spot here and there, so I like to cover them up!

#6 Lust - Which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?
I've recently been lusting after is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder. There is only one word to describe this, ah-ma-zing. If there was a Space NK nearer to me then this may have already made it's way into my stash.

#7 Envy - What makeup product looks great on others but not yourself?
I love the look of  a deep red lipstick, but unfortunately they don't suit me very well.

So there you have it, The Seven Deadly Sins Of Beauty Tag. I tag YOU!

The Weekend Post #7: A Jolly Good Combo!

Dr.Jart Water Fuse BB Cream | Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Recently, I've been finding myself mixing products together to create a perfect solution for my skin. The culprits are: Dr. Jart Water Fuse BB cream (full review here) and Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. With the weather being a bit better recently- finally -I prefer a lighter base that will keep my skin looking glowy and radiant but still have a bit of coverage to it. There's nothing more I hate than a mask-like foundation (yuck).
 Bourjois have changed the formula of their Healthy Mix, I have the older version but I will be getting the newer version soon. This foundation does wonders for my skin containing apricot (for radiance), melon (for hydration), apple (an antioxidant) and ginger (energy). It glides on my skin leaving me with a fresh even base. My skin feels like it can breathe when I'm wearing this.
 Dr. Jart Water Fuse BB cream is one of my more recent purchases, and it ticks all the right boxes for me. It has a little thicker consistency than the foundation and it keeps the skin moisturised all day. It makes my face look lovely and dewy (without looking greasy). If you'd like to hear more of my thoughts on this then click here.So that's what I've been using as my base for a while and If my skin needs a bit more 'glow' then I add a bit of Benefit High Beam into the mix.

Do you enjoy mixing products together? If so, what are your favourite combos?
