Marks And Spencer Moisture Tint Limited Collection - Review

I don't know about you but sometimes wearing a foundation just feels so heavy on my skin and throughout the day I'm then bothered because 1) it feels greasy 2) my skin feels so dank and dirty and 3) it doesn't even look that good. Sometimes we just need to give our skin a breather and this is the perfect product. 

Looking at the current beauty trends, there seems to be an ever more focus on heavy foundation, heavy contouring and an overall full face of make up. Which is lovely, but often we really don't need it. Glowing and beautiful skin doesn't have to be because of a thick heavy foundation and a bucket load of highlighter. Let's go back to basics and show off our natural beauty. 

So here's where the Marks and Spencer Moisture Tint comes into action. Admittedly, Marks and Spencer is not my usual destination for make-up and I really don't know why. Produced by the same company as Clarins, they offer quality products at drug store prices. 


The Moisture Tint is a tinted moisturisers that looks and acts like a foundation but feels so light on the skin. This product leaves you with a dewy natural glow that, because it's a moisturiser, absorbs into your skin leaving the glowing product on top. Lovely.

This product wears beautifully throughout the day. It's surprisingly long lasting meaning you can still look fabulous and radiant from the moment you step out the door for work to when it's 3am and you're partying the night away. Can I gush enough?

As I know some will ask, the flashback on this is minimal. I find that when I wear a foundation I can get horrendous flashback and I look like a greasy sweaty mess. However, with this, despite being a moisturiser, doesn't flashback. 

Obviously there is the lack of SPF which can be a problem for some people but I have previously worn this over an SPF 30 with a powder on top and the product has stayed intact without separating or sticking. 

I will advise users that this product does require shaking to ensure the product goes onto the skin properly every time you use it as it can separate over time. There aren't a great variety of shades. I am very pale, usually edging towards the very lightest foundation in a range, and this foundation shade is suitable for my skin. So yes please M&S please bring out more shades so that everyone can enjoy this magical tinted bottle of joy.

For only £5 I think this product is amazing. This is the second time I have bought it and I would buy and buy it again. You can apply it using a sponge, a brush or your hands and still end up with the perfect finish.

My 13 Piece Capsule Work Wardrobe

You know those day's, everyone has them, when you stare into your wardrobe looking at all the drab and boring things hanging there and you shout I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR. When in actual fact you probably have a million different outfit combinations staring you in the face. Sometimes, it's just hard to see it.

If you've been reading my blog since last summer you'll know I worked in a PR company for  few weeks. Well, this Easter I am returning again! But as a student, with only a small suitcase to return home with, this left me with a dilemma. What was I going to wear? 

As you might guess, some outfits I wear as a student might not be appropriate for life in an office *cough* PJS *cough* so I had to get inventive. Thus, I bring you my 13 capsule wardrobe. 

Pieces:
- White jumper
- Black pencil skirt
- Grey skater dress
- Grey sparkly jumper 
- White long sleeve shirt
- Blue shirt
- Blue scallop top
- White top
- Black and white pattern trousers
- Flower trousers
- Blue rose dress
- Navy striped dress
- Black cardigan 

(Please ignore the shoddy photos. I wasn't planning to blog about this but I thought someone might like to see it!) I know this is a lot of outfits for two weeks but I need options!
