Foundation Finder!

Dear Diary...
Two posts in one day- wow aren't you lucky!!!

I have literally JUST came across this amazing website so couldn't hesitate but to write about it!! It's called Findation and is a nifty little website which allows you to perfectly match your foundation shade, based on your previous buys!

I am ALWAYS on the search for a new foundation, but find the process of shade matching extremely daunting, so this really really excites me! Hallelujah!!

Hope this helps all you girls who, like me, get too comfortable with the products I use and find it hard to change!

Wanderlust...

Dear Diary...
Wanderlust is the term used for desire to travel, and I can say I'm definitely suffering from this!! Being a student this can be very tormenting as us students don't tend to have a lot of cash (however, I often hear of people bagging cheap flights/cheap holidays- lucky them!) I thought that it would be best to compile a list of places I would love to visit!

Being a lover of going on holidays and experiencing different cultures, this was a very difficult decision!! But, not to worry, I have chosen to show you just a few locations from my holiday wishlist! If any of you are racking your brains thinking of where you'd like to venture to next, Trip Advisor is a very handy website; providing reviews of cities, hotels, restaurants and just general hints and tips! (Another VERY useful website is the famous Easyjet- providing cheap flights you just cannot refuse!)

Paris
Having been to Paris twice before when I was younger, and not really remembering much from it, I would absolutely love to go here again! It has such a lovely, romantic feel to it and would be the perfect place to spend with loved ones! It is littered with culture, and has loads of famous sights to see, so you would never get bored! ParisInfo is a great website to visit for more info!

Dubai

Being a lover of shopping Dubai is definitely up there in my list of places to go! The malls look incredible, and I find it fascinating how beautiful the beach looks! Shopping + beach = winning combo!!! Why not visit DefinitelyDubai to see more!

These are just a few of the places I would love to jet off to! This has left me feeling a tiny bit depressed as it is raining yet again here in the UK!

Have you been to either or these places, or is there anywhere you would like to visit?! I would love to hear from you!

The #NoMakeUpSelfie Phenomenon!

Dear Diary!
Wow I feel as if I have neglected my posts for a while having been so busy with Uni deadlines and work commitments, so for that I am sorry! Hopefully now, with a few deadlines lurking in the near distance, I can get back to grips with keeping Dear Charlotte's diary up-to-date again!

I've decided to base this week's post on a really recent but HUGE phenomenon that has seemed to take over  social networking sites (as I'm sure you are aware!!), the 'No Make-Up Selfie'! This is in aid of Cancer Research UK- a great charity which is close to my heart- which asks girls to post a bare-faced selfie and text to donate a small sum of £3. Here are some examples including my own selfie (which I bravely placed next to the gorgeous Millie Mackintosh who would look stunning with mud slapped across her face! Brave move huh?!!)

Many people (including myself) were a bit sceptical at first- wondering what difference it actually makes and firstly, feeling dubious about posting a selfie with no slap on in the first place! Us girls are all partial to a selfie every now and again but taking make-up out of the equation can seem quite daunting!!

However, recent artcles by both The Telegraph, The Daily Mail and many more, have shown that this new craze has had massive effects, raising over £2 million for this amazing charity! Apparently men are even getting in on this trend, by posting selfie's with makeup on! (Now is your opportunity to stitch your dad's/boyfriend's/male friends right up! Let's do it girls!)

So, why not have a bit of a laugh and get donating yourselves if you hadn't already done so! I've braved it and posted my no make-up selfie, now it's your turn!!!

Do your bit and text  'BEAT' TO 70077, or click here to donate via their website!
