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.

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...

July Empties

 Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through.  The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite.  My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Glossier Skywash Review

Whenever Glossier launches anything, I just can't resist! I always loved the idea of swipe on liquid eyeshadows, but Glossiers lidstar's were just too shimmery for my taste... but Skywash.... right up my alley! These are matte liquid Eyeshadows, which claim to be buildable, long lasting (up to twelve hours) and easy to apply. I bought the shades echo, a cocoa brown and terra, a warm orange based brown. I love the concealer, doe foot like applicator, as it is small enough to swipe a good amount on my eyelid, without smearing it everywhere. I honestly can't tell you how easy these are to apply and blend out. A quick swipe on my eye and tap tap tap... I have a gorgeous wash of colour that's not patchy and looks divine! I love how quick and easy these are to apply and the fact they applied evenly really shocked me. They are also buildable, applying two coats gives me more of an evening look and a stronger wash of colour. To be honest... they aren't super long wear...
