Foundation Reviews - Glossier Skin Tint

Glossier is probably the most hyped up brand ever. It is everywhere I turn, on instagram, in my dreams and before I know it I'm applying to it my face. I deliberated for so long about buying this because although it's light coverage, I saw so many reviews claiming it was pointless as it had practically zero coverage. I do like light coverage foundations, but i feel like I need something to justify spending £20, if I'm just going to look the exact same.

The texture is really strange it feels like a watery oil when you squeeze the bottle. I love the bottle though because it comes out in drops, so I never over use it. It blends out effortlessly, but really does blend into nothing. I have to be having a seriously good skin day, or be boiling hot to be able to wear this. I do like this with a full coverage concealer, as the tint evens out my skin tone, and then the concealer really gets to work with the coverage.

I have tried to use this product so many different ways and found that using your fingers really is the best way to apply this, it just looks like really good skin, no thick cream, just undetectable on the skin. By the end of the day I do look like a disco ball when I wear this, I just look like I am glowing for gold. I don't think I have ever used a product that within about 4 hours, it feels like its vanished and I just look greasy. If you want to buy a product that will make a dramatic difference to your skin this is not for you, it really does have about zero coverage.

When I first bought this foundation I ordered the colour light, as I am as pale as casper the ghost, but when it arrived and I applied it it looked so grey, I honestly looked sick. So I contacted Glossier and they kindly sent me the shade medium instead, which is a much better colour and looks warm and the right tone for my skin. One thing I can say is the customer service at Glossier is amazing, it really is and it's so rare for many brands these days, so if you have an issue with the product, contact them and they really do help.

So there you go, if you want a little something to even out your skin, if you don't particularly like heavy makeup this is ideal, but I would rather not waste my time applying it, and use something with a tiny bit of coverage to save myself so much work, trying to perfect a no makeup makeup look.

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...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
