Half price makeup brushes!
These lovely brushes are currently half price at Boots. They're £10 instead of the usual £20.
The set contains five brushes, which are:
Directional Powder Brush,
Foundation Brush,
Eyeshadow Blend & Contour,
Eyeliner Brush,
Lip Brush,
Makeup Bag.
I particularly love the Eyeshadow blend & contour brush because it really allows you to get right into the crease of your eyelid with ease. If you're quite bad at applying eyeshadow, as am I, then it makes it really easy! And the bristles are white, which allows you to see how much product you've actually got on the brush. (Handy!)
I must admit that they look more expensive than they are. The handles are made of plastic, but initially looking at them, I thought they'd be metal. It does mean that they're quite light to hold though.
The brushes are quite a lot more expensive if you buy them individually. They range from around £7-14 each! So this set is an absolute bargain!
They're limited edition, so if you want to get your hands on them, be quick! Sadly, I can't find this set on the Boots website, but you might still be in luck if you pop down to your local Boots store!

It's Foundation Friday again! So here are my thoughts on Loreal's True Match!
Loreal have brought this foundation out in loads of different shades. I've been using the lightest, N1 Ivory, which can you see pictured above!
It tends to give medium to heavy coverage. Although, it's still a tad too dark for my deathly pallor. As you can see from the picture, it is noticeably darker. Having said that, I am really pale, so this shouldn't be an issue for most people.
The staying power of this foundation is pretty impressive. I normally have to touch up my foundation during the day, but this stays put! It doesn't really get oily on my skin either. A lot of foundations do, so I normally carry blotting papers around with me just in case! I wouldn't recommend this to people with really dry skin though, as it can be a little drying.
True Match has a high SPF, which is good! But perhaps not if you're wearing it on a night out, as there's probably going to be a bit of flashback.
Loreal claims that this is 'Super-blendable'. It is quite easy to blend in. I've been using my trusty Real Techniques Face Sponge, but it also applies really well with a brush or your fingers too! It does seem to settle quickly on my skin though, so you do have to blend it quite quickly. It's also quite watery, but not so much that it'll run off the back of your hand when you're applying it.
Price-wise, it's not the cheapest of high street foundations, but I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good quality foundation on a budget.
If you fancy trying this, you can buy it from Boots for £9.99 by clicking here!

'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.'
I always wish that I could understand and get to grips with 'classical' literature. Despite having studied Theatre Studies (and even doing an English Literature module whilst at Uni), I still have trouble sometimes getting my head around more classical literature. Because I'm a tad thick.
This year, I want to try and read more; and from across a variety of genres too. In 2013, I read loads and I felt more knowledgeable for it, but last year I just slipped a little didn't read nearly as much. 2015 is the year I bring out my inner bookworm once again.
You might have noticed that my recent post New Year, New You? consisted mainly of a rant about New Year's Resolutions, however, this is definitely one thing I'm striving to achieve this year! (So I'm a hypocrite, basically.)
Are you a big bookworm? What books do you suggest I should read? Comment below or Tweet me (@katiee_brown) to tell me!
