Today is Easter Sunday and typically it's a day for families to spend it together. All of the shops are shut so it's a very peaceful day!
In the modern era one of the main aspects of Easter is now Easter eggs! Yummy, hollow, chocolate eggs that are usually accompanied by a chocolate bar/bag of whichever variety. The chocolate tastes so much better than block chocolate (imo) and as a household it seems we have Easter eggs lying about for forever after Easter.
One of the things we've always done since I was a child was an Easter egg hunt. We'll be doing ours tomorrow on Easter Monday as a lot of my family are going to my grandparents house - I can't wait, it should be so fun, especially considering my mum is making the clues so we might be trying to find them all day!
Another thing we always do is have a big roast with all of the trimmings - I'll take any excuse to have a roast dinner.
It's always nice to go for a walk in the evening to chill and unwind and I find the whole holiday such a lovely, relaxing time.
Finally, every day we play and look after and love our rabbits. Theo(left) and Elmo(right) have been such bundles of joys in our lives these past nearly 4 years. They are perfect in every way and I'm so happy we get to spend Easter and the rest of their lives with them and nourishing them. And if I could, I'd take them on our Easter egg hunt! I imagine they'd be the winners!

Happy Easter! Enjoy whatever it is you'll be doing.

I hope you enjoyed reading,

Dior Forever Foundation

My sister bought the Dior Forever Skin Foundation for me for christmas, but the shade was too dark for me. It has taken me three months to go into town and sort it, but now I have a shade that is absolutely perfect for my skin.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this foundation. I thought that with it being a matte foundation it might be slightly heavy and sink in around my nose and on my smile lines, however it does none of that. It blends seamlessly on the skin and gives a matte finish that almost has a slight sheen to it - nothing too much though. I would consider the coverage to be high, especially when built up, but I think it might sit around the medium-high category in comparison to others.
The longevity is amazing and I've worn it on numerous long days and it still looks just as good as I applied it. It does wear off slightly around my nose, but every foundation I use does that so I can't complain! Another bonus is it has spf 35 which is so good.

I have shade 11 and it's a perfect match. The lady who matched me was so lovely and the combination of great service from Dior and how fab the product is will certainly mean I make future purchases. Also, the packaging is beautiful! This has soon become the foundation I'm reaching for most regularly and I'm so intrigued to see what the other foundations that Dior offers are like.

Have you tried any Dior foundations?
