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!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

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...

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...
