Smashbox

So today, I wanted to talk about the Smashbox Primer Water which has had a lot of hype from many beauty gurus and make up lovers. The primer water acts as a primer (duh), a setting spray and just a general refresher throughout the day.

My initial response to trying this product out was that it was refreshing and was moisturising my skin however when I went on to apply my foundation, I felt like it hadn’t done much to help my skin lock in the foundation and made it look rather cakey. I’m a little disappointed as I was expecting this to be the answer to my problems. My skin is struggling to adapt with foundations even when I use moisturizer etc. and I’m not sure what the issue is. Perhaps watching these youtubers has set my standards a little too high because they are using different lighting and it just looks so flawless but I’m not getting that same desired effect for myself.  
I will continue to use this primer water and try using it differently and see if I can make it work for my skin. The product itself cost £20 for 116ml which is decent and will last you a long while.

Savage Beauty

   Hey, guys! So recently, I went to the Victoria and Albert museum with my friend to see the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and I can honestly say I was absolutely blown away by it! Throughout the whole exhibition, not once was my mouth closed- I was in awe at everything that was displayed. So, if you live in the UK and London then head on over to the V&A website and book your tickets today- the exhibition ends in August and from what I have gathered, tickets range from £10.20 (students) - £20 (adults), which is a bargain for an amazing exhibition. 
I would tell you more about the exhibition but I don't want to ruin it for you. After the 2nd of August I will update this and talk more in depth about it. 

This is the kind of exhibition that you don't need to be interested in fashion or design to want to see it, it's more than that. McQueen is more than just a designer, he's an artist, a creator, tailor and so much more.
