Foundation Review - BareMinerals BarePRO Liquid Foundation

So we once again return to finding the perfect foundation. This time it is the controversial BareMinerals BarePRO liquid foundation. As a brand famous for their mineral powder foundation, many people were shocked when they revealed they would be launching a liquid foundation. TO be honest, I think that the with the rising popularity of liquid foundations they would have been a fool to not give the people something new. This has so many 'good for your skin' ingredients like bamboo, papaya and is also supposed to improve the skin's texture over time (sounding good to me).

The texture of this foundation is pretty liquidy, it feels just like water, it just runs off the back of your hand. When you apply it, it dries quick, and boy do I mean quick, so I found when I applied it with a brush it just looked patchy and unnatural. I decided to warm the product between my fingers and apply it with my hands, which worked like a treat. The finish is stunning, it's matte, but not too matte where your face looks flat (I know I'm practically Eminem). It gives such a beautiful skin like finish without looking to heavy or cakey.

It wears really well and I find it lasts all day, without fail. The only downside is I find it becomes really dry on my face throughout the day and sinks into my fine lines. I've tried so many primers with this, YSL, burberry, bare minerals... and the same thing happens every time, the way I get around this is to not set my foundation with powder, meaning when it starts to settle, I can just grab my beauty blender and blend them away. It really doesn't budge from around my cheeks and chin at all, it doesn't go oily and looks like I have just put it on after about 6 hours.

This also comes in 30 shades, so I found, finding my shade a walk in the park. I have the colours 03 and 04, as I tend to go a little bit tanned in summer so keep one in reserve.

Overall I think this is a good foundation, It certainly isn't my favourite formula, but really looks beautiful. If you're someone with fine lines or wrinkles or super dry skin, I would get a sample of this before buying to see what you think.

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...
