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!

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...

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...

Glossier Skywash Review

Whenever Glossier launches anything, I just can't resist! I always loved the idea of swipe on liquid eyeshadows, but Glossiers lidstar's were just too shimmery for my taste... but Skywash.... right up my alley! These are matte liquid Eyeshadows, which claim to be buildable, long lasting (up to twelve hours) and easy to apply. I bought the shades echo, a cocoa brown and terra, a warm orange based brown. I love the concealer, doe foot like applicator, as it is small enough to swipe a good amount on my eyelid, without smearing it everywhere. I honestly can't tell you how easy these are to apply and blend out. A quick swipe on my eye and tap tap tap... I have a gorgeous wash of colour that's not patchy and looks divine! I love how quick and easy these are to apply and the fact they applied evenly really shocked me. They are also buildable, applying two coats gives me more of an evening look and a stronger wash of colour. To be honest... they aren't super long wear...
