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!

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...
