Foundation Reviews - L'oreal True Match

Ahhh Loreal true match, a true staple of the drugstore. One of those foundations I have heard so much about I just had to try.

First off the shade range in this foundation is incredible. There are so many shades and more than a lot of luxury makeup brands. This is a great start as it was so easy to find a shade that not only matched my skin colour but also matched the undertone of my skin.

The texture is quite thick, it is like a cream and applies quite thick onto the skin. It has a really glowing texture to it, but the one thing I notice is that this just doesn't last on my face. I have real difficulty stopping this foundation from sliding off my face. As soon as I put it on, it looks stunning, like I'm ready for vogue, but by the end of the day all my scarring is peaking through and it looks like it has all slid off. I have tried so many different primers with this product but have had the same result will them all. I don't have oily skin and find that some of my more water based foundations last longer than this!

I do prefer light coverage foundations, so don't find myself reaching for this on a day to day basis, but love wearing it if I'm going out for a meal or out with friends. It doesn't sink into my fine lines and blends out seamlessly. Another thing I really love about this product is it has this really beautiful skin like texture to it, when applied to the skin, it doesn't emphasise my pores or cling to dry patches.

For the price of £9.99 this foundation is really good value! It really does look similar to my makeup forever liquid foundation as far as the finish goes, but I just wish it would last longer than a few hours on my skin, as it drives me insane!

So overall not my favourite foundation but a good purchase if you're just looking for something to wear on special occasions thats good value!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

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...

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...
