Foundation Reviews - YSL Touche Éclat Glow Foundation

When it comes to foundations I am obsessed. Anyone, in any shop in the world can persuade me how much this foundation will change my life... Meaning I have had my fair share of experience when it comes to foundation. I had been eyeing this foundation up for a few weeks and finally bit the bullet and bought it! Carry on reading for an honest review.

I rarely wear drugstore foundations, I just love the feeling of luxury, expensive foundation and I usually find high end makeup doesn't break my skin out. So when I bought my first YSL foundation I was elated. The packaging is really travel friendly and I love a good tube foundation as they are easy to store and are less likely to break than a glass bottle.

The formula itself it quite odd, it's like nothing I have ever used. When pumped it appears to look like a cream, but when you spread it, it turns into more of a watery consistency. The formula appears to not mix and separate when you try to spread it, which didn't fill me with confidence when it came to putting it on my face.

I dotted the foundation on my face and tried to blend it with my mac brush... It was a disaster, It would not blend, it didn't sit well and I hated it... But when I used it with my beauty blender, it looked incredible, it left the most beautiful glow and blended beautifully, it blended out really quickly aswell. It really comes to life when applied properly and it has enough coverage to cover any acne scars, with them looking dry or like the formula is clinging to the scar. It also works really well when blended with your fingers, it's really hydrating, nourishing and is amazing if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin, this may not be for you.

When it comes to staying power, it is as I expected for a sheer foundation. it lasts well, but does start to fade after about 6 or 7 hours. So for me this is a perfect everyday foundation, but I would not wear it for a night out. For the price I do think if you were on a budget, you could find something very similar for a lot cheaper. But if you are looking for something a bit luxurious and for quick everyday use, then this is honestly the perfect product for you.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
