Foundation Reviews - Too Faced Born This Way

For some reason, I always presumed this was intense full coverage and was probably the only foundation in the world I hadn't tried. So as my skin decided to break out into a fluster of acne again (eternally grateful) I thought lets give it a go!

I've been using this everyday since I bought it and have had no further acne (praise the lord!) and Is the first foundation I've used in a long time that doesn't feel dry on my skin. The texture is like a thin creamy, gel consistency and feels really hydrating on the skin. I apply it with a brush and then use my beauty blender over the top to make sure it's blended out, it blends out so easily and looks beautiful.

The coverage I would say is pretty natural, it can definitely be built up and for me that's even better. I can use this in the day time, or build it up for a fuller look in the evening, which means one foundation does the job of two. For someone who has acne and acne scars this is perfect as it covers all of my skin issues without looking heavy, cakey or thick. It just makes my skin look perfect and airbrushed.

In terms of staying power this stuff does not move...I went out in the beautiful, British Rain and came back to find my makeup had not budged, despite having some mascara and eyeliner casualties, the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation did not move. It was in this exact moment, I knew I had found the one.

Since I've used this, I have lost all appetite for new foundations, and my old foundations just don't do it for me anymore. I think this is the best foundation I have ever tried and will be repurchasing when it runs out! The foundation really reminds me of the Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation... the finish, the texture, the feel. But for me this one still comes out on top!

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...
