Foundation Reviews - It Cosmetics CC Cream

Another episode in the 'quest for the perfect foundation' saga brings us to It Cosmetics, cult classic, CC cream. This is branded as your skin but better and has so many claims it makes me feel like I'm wearing something made at Hogwarts.

This is a tube foundation which is amazing I love a good tube, it fits in my makeup bag , I can travel without fear of smashing and I find i rarely waste any product because the tube just pumps it all out.
The consistency is a thick cream and does have quite a heavy feel to it. Whenever I wear this I definitely feel it sitting on my face and doesn't feel as light as some of my other foundations. But this is a full coverage CC Cream, so i kind of expected it to feel a little heavier than say a tinted moisturiser.

One thing I can say is this stuff stays on... and lasts! I can apply this in the hottest of weather and guarantee it won't budge from when I leave the house to when I get back! So this is my go to foundation for vacation as I can Build it up at night or sheer it out in the day! Not to mention it has SPF 50 !! So saves me applying my SPF in the morning. If you prefer a fuller look, i would use a flat top foundation brush, but if you like a more natural look, I would use a beauty blender.

Overall I think this is a really nice foundation that lasts and has all the properties of a skincare product. So it makes my skin look and feel amazing, which I think is so important. The only downside is the colour range is quite bad, I find that i'm in-between shades which is so annoying as it costs double the amount to buy my shade. But overall I love this product and it's why I constantly re-buy it and have it pride a place on my vanity !

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...
