Rimmel London BB Cream

I bought this little beauty the other day while at the Herts & Beds blogger meet up. A lot of people have recommended using a BB cream so I thought I might as well try it. The Rimmel London BB cream was the one that most people seamed to be happiest with and it did look pretty good.  

For those of you who don't know what a BB cream is, its basically your moisturiser, foundation and concealer all in one. This particular BB cream primes, moisturises, minimises pores, conceals, covers, smoothes, mattifies, brightens and helps protect your skin (wow thats a lot)

I have only been using this a couple of days but already i think my skin looks better, it smoothes skin tone and its light on your skin so it really feels like you're not wearing anything. 

It costs £6.99 and trust me it is worth it!

Herts & Beds Blogger Meet Up

On Sunday I went to my first blogger meet up which was held in St Albans. It was a really nice day out and it was great to meet people with the same interests in fashion and beauty. I missed the first hour of the meet up because of how unreliable British public transport is (2 buses didn't turn up and i ended up waiting an hour and a half for one!) and by the time I got there everyone was heading to Lush, when we got there we told them we were all bloggers so they asked for our links and gave us all a free sample of one of their cleansers. 

After Lush we went into Benefit and Bare Minerals, going into Benefit and not buying anything was a challenge as i am completely obsessed with their products (probably about 80% of my makeup collection.)  We then headed to Superdrug, where we were followed around by their staff, so we left and went to Boots instead.

After Boots it was off to Champneys where one off us picked up a tub of their body scrub and passed it around for us all to smell, next thing there was a bit of a rush for the till as we all bought one! We then went to Space NK and even though I couldn't afford to buy anything it was great to have a look round as I have never been in there before.

OOTD

Today I went to the Hertfordshire / Bedfordshire blogger meet up (which I will be posting about later on in the week). This was my first blogger meet up and it was so great to meet other bloggers in the area!

I chose this outfit based mainly on the weather, after all we are in the middle of a heat wave! The dress and the knitted cardi are both from New Look, I got the dress a few years ago and it has really lasted well. The dress is a bit short on me so I wore denim shorts underneath (also from New Look) however it can also be worn with skinny jeans. The red belt came with the dress and I actually borrowed the converse shoes from my mum. As for the gold bracelets i'm not actually sure where i got them from, i'v had that long. The gold chain ring came in a set of rings from Lipsy that i got about a year ago, he colour has lased surprisingly well as usually the gold wears off.
