Chronicles of a Beauty Nerd

Hey lovelies

I've been busy busy at work and trying to get packed for my holiday to the sunny shores of Northumbria. However whilst in a brief period of down time I have been surfing the net, as you do, and stumbled across this amazing beauty blog Chronicles of a Beauty Nerd.
They are based in Canada and not only have beauty posts they also post recipes on there which sound divine.
The blog is sooooooo pretty and whilst us Brits may just have to lust over some of the products mentioned, it is well worth a read.
So go forth and take a look

Garnier BB Cream review

Wow what a week of varied weather the UK has had! One minute it's glorious sunshine and temperatures to rival those in North Africa, the next minute it's torrential rain and thunder storms! One thing has got me through this bizarre British summer and that it Garnier's new BB cream.

This product has SPF 15 which for normal overcast days is sufficient but in extreme weather the SPF isn't so good, but if like me you work in an office and hardly get to see the sun during daylight hours then it's perfect! It also has light coverage (even though the colour selections are currently limited to light and normal) which I would say is slightly lighter that Channel's Vitalumiere Aqua (which I LOVE!). So if like me you like a light coverage during the summer months it is brilliant just to wear on its own, however if you are concious of any blemishes or imperfections on  your face then I would recommend using the BB cream as a base. I have literally just been cleansing and toning my face and then applying the BB cream before heading out for work. 


But beware the BB cream makes your skin look nice and dewy but a little goes a long way as I discovered when I accidentally squeezed too much out the tube and looked a little too shiny faced!

I think once Garnier release more colours, like they did with their tinted caffeine roll on, this product will be brilliant! But at the moment, for me at least, this product is great- I say this because I feel the light is a little bit too dark for my complexion nothing too bad, more slight tan, but still not as natural looking as I like.
