Foundation Reviews - Mac Face And Body Foundation

Good old Mac Face and Body, I cannot tell you how many people I know that swear by this foundation and use it for pretty much any night/daytime occasion you could imagine. It's one of those all rounder foundations that is loved by so so many people and has become a cult classic of its own right.

So I love the packaging, whoever designed this needs a knighthood or a big mansion or just a big pay rise. It is so so easy to travel with and just looks so minimal and classic, out of all of my foundations, this is by far my favourite packaging. Not to mention you get 50ml, as oppose to a regular foundation which on average contains around 30ml. This is so easy to keep clean, and apply to a brush, fingers or directly to the face. This is really similar to the Glossier Skin Tint Packaging but the Mac face and body just feels a bit more sturdy and firmer. so overall packaging is defiantly a 30/10.

The texture itself is like water, you can really move it around but then it kind of turns into a cream as it applies to the face. I love applying this with my fingers, because I find the warmth from my hands really helps the product blend out. It almost sets on your face and becomes more difficult to move around. I love the finish of this foundation, It really has this gorgeous natural skin like finish to it. It does have coverage but it is light, but can be built up to a good medium coverage.

The only issue I have with this foundation is I really struggle to find the right undertone and shade. I've tried so many shades but find they all either look a little ashy or a little orange. But when I have a tan, I whip this bad boy out like there is no stopping me!

It also lasts a long time, and out of all my light coverage foundations this is the one I can definitely rely on to pull through, I can't even tell you the time it lasts because whenever I wear this it just seems to last forever and if I go out when I come home it looks no different from when I first applied it!

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...
