The La Roche Posay Rosaliac Daily Unifying CC Creme* is formulated for those who suffer with sensitive skin that can be prone to all types of redness. This product is designed to both soothe any redness, whilst also offering immediate coverage and long lasting correction. 

Let's start off with the packaging as i'm a sucker for packaging, especially packaging that is simple and minimal (probably another reason why I love La Roche Posay). I really like that this is designed to be stood upside down, meaning you're not having to squeeze any product out or having to faff around when you're in a hurry, it's simple and I like it.

When I first used this I wasn't too sure exactly how a CC creme worked as i'd never owned or used one before, but I figured that it would be a little more lighter than a BB creme, which I wear usually on a daily basis. On first application I thought this was a little too dark/orange for me as it does only come in one shade, which is meant to adapt to your skin tone and I think it does to some extent but as i'm quite pale products often come up a little too dark on me anyway.  

Surprisingly the coverage of this is actually really good, so good that i've been wearing this on it's own on some days where I just need a little bit of coverage in order for me to look human enough to leave the house. It covers spots really well, although I do still use concealer underneath and i've noticed that any redness around blemishes is pretty much masked to the point that you can't really see them. As for long time correction, I can't really comment as I haven't been using it long enough but I will definitely be using this well into the summer months, especially as it contains SPF 30 and the coverage is just enough for those hot summer days that i'm dreaming of.

Also, this product is currently on offer in many different places including Escentual where you can currently get a third off, for only £16.55!

Have you tried out any CC cremes?

Made some cheeky payday purchases - Even though my pay wasn't so great again this month, I decided to treat myself to a few bits that i'd been eyeing up for a little while. All I can say is thank god for student loans coming in just over a week!

Reorganised my makeup storage - I decided to neaten the top of my makeup storage drawer system by removing all the random junk that had accumulated and now I just have my brushes and palettes in clear sight. I can't wait until I change to Muji storage, but i'm happy with how it is for now. I also can't wait for a trip to Ikea, there is so much stuff I want at the moment for my room.


What did you get up to last week?

Even though my wages have been shocking these past couple of months, i've actually been really good with my money and I thought i'd treat myself with the little bit I had left from last month.

The first lipstick I picked up is the the Illamasqua 'Glissade' Lipstick from their new Glamore Collection, which I spoke about briefly in my recent favourites post. When I first saw blog posts circulating about their new collection I just knew that I had to get my hands on this lipstick, then to my delight I saw they stocked it on ASOS which means one thing, student discount! I love the shade of this lipstick, it's bold pink with a somewhat berry undertone is just perfect for me and I will definitely be getting my wear out of it this summer, and it's formula is perfect not too matte but not too creamy.

Next are two MAC purchases, which i've gotta thank my Mum for seeing as she picked these up for me on her recent trip to Australia. I'd been eyeing up these two shades in particular for some time but I wasn't gonna just give up £30 when I knew she could get them slightly cheaper. Anyway, the first shade I got was MAC Plumful, which is in a lustre finish. Now i'm entirely 100% sure what that finish is, but I know that they are more of a moisturising finish and slightly less pigmented but still build able. This shade in particular I wanted as it's the perfect day time shade and just gives my lips the lift that they need without too bold of a colour, whilst also lasting really well.

The second lipstick I got was MAC Lustering, again another lustre finish and this shade is one that I haven't seen an awful lot about but after doing some research I decided that I needed this one also. It's slightly more of a brighter pinky shade than Plumful but again is one that is perfect for the day time as it adds a nice amount of colour without being too overpowering.
