MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW15


I recently featured this in my October favorites post - link, but i realised i hadn't ever done a full review post on the MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW15. 

What i love most about this foundation is the coverage. I use hardly any and it covers my full face and high coverage. All i do is turn the bottle upside down until the product starts to show and then dab my foundation brush over the opening and usually the amount of product on the brush is enough to cover my whole face.

When i purchased the foundation i went into House of Fraser to the MAC counter and i was matched up to NW15, i would highly recommend getting matched up before buying because i was looking at buying this online for a while and i thought from the photographs that NW20 would be my colour. Phew saved myself from an orange face there! 

Sometimes when changing to a full coverage foundation it can break some people out depending on your skin type but with this i had zero break outs and actually found i have had less blemishes since using, i don't know whether it is just a coincidence that the weather has changed and so has my skin or whether it is using a higher end foundation that has stopped the spots? Any thoughts?

The price may be a little more than what some want to pay for a foundation at £21.50 but if your due a little treat i would definitely treat yourself to this, for me it has lasted longer than my drug store ones and it stays put for longer throughout the day.

My only qualm with this foundation is the smell, i really can't put my finger on what the scent is but its just really odd!

Have you tried the MAC Studio Fix Fluid?


5. Victor & Rolf Flower Bomb - My all time favorite fragrance. This has been my signature scent for years now and as you can see from the photograph above it is running dangerously low. Anyone who hasn't smelt this perfume i urge to go to your nearest perfume counter and give it a whiff, you will not be disappointed.

What has been on your favorites list last month and what are you looking forward to this month?

A Spot of Shopping

Every once in a while you've got to treat yourself right? - That's my excuse anyway! 

Being a makeup girl through and through, I took a little trip to Manchester and picked up a few things - I won't go into too much detail as i will be doing an individual post on each so keep and eye out for that and follow me on Bloglovin to keep up to date :)




Firstly was the Urban Decay Naked Palette - Seriously cannot believe i didn't pick this up sooner serious love for this palette. I'm sure you have heard so much about the Naked palettes that you've started getting a little bored of the thing, but seriously if you haven't tried it, it is a must. It is so incredibly easy to create day-night looks and the formula is super soft and buttery. £37- Link

Secondly i picked up MAC Studio Fix Fluid - I actually went to House of Fraser for this buy, i haven't owed a MAC foundation so was a little unsure of which colour to get and i though HOF would be quieter than Selfridges so i  could get seen and make my purchase with out too much hanging around. Turns out i am NW15. £21.50 - Link

Then i picked up a MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre - I wanted a base that wasn't going to change the colour of the eye shadow greatly but also keep my shadow in place for as long as i needed it too - it was a huge toss up with Soft Ochre and Bare Study... I think Bare study will  be next on the list. £15.50 - Link

We then popped into Superdrug and again i am a little late on this band wagon but i really wanted to try the Make Up Revolution eye shadows i have heard so much about, i decided to go for the Iconic 1 palette which I know has been greatly likened to the Naked palette but i wanted to give it a try. £4 - Link

NYC are have an offer on at Superdrug at the moment where everything is under £2.50 so i thought i would pick up two little items to text out - the NYC Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer which has an illuminus look - Link and the second NYC product was the Individual Eyes palette in Midtown Mauve - it says it is designed for people with brown eyes but i loved the colours anyway. it comes with four shadows an illuminator and a Primer Base. - Link
