Fenty Beauty Foundation Review

After months of telling myself I don't need any more foundations and I have way too many as it is... you guessed it, I bought another one. I'd heard so much hype around this foundation and needed to give it a go!

First of all there are 40 shades... 40 shades!! that is incredible, as it is really rare than I can find a shade that is my colour and undertone. So I got the shade 120 and it really matches me perfectly. I found it did oxidise a little, but nothing crazy orange. It just oxidises to its true colour. I applied a small amount of the foundation tot my neck and went out into natural light for half an hour, so I could see which colour would be perfect after it oxidised.

The packaging of this product is incredible. The white lid and the clear bottle. I. Am. In. Love. Minimal, elegant, packaging is my favourite. The texture of the foundation, is watery and pretty runny, so I prefer to apply this with a brush, because a beauty blender just soaks it up!

The foundation claims to be buildable, long-wearing and medium to full coverage. I think it has more of a light coverage to begin with and can get to a decent medium coverage, but I wouldn't say it's full coverage. I have a few acne scars, which require a lot of work for them to be covered by this foundation.

Another thing I would say is this is not long wearing... at all. I've seen so many good reviews about how long wearing this foundation is, but cannot get it to stay on my face. I have tried using the foundation with the Fenty primer, my go-to Hangover Rx Primer and even no primer, and find by the end of the day it has literally slid off my face! All my acne scarring is visible around my jaw, cheeks and forehead by the end of the day.

Overall, this foundation is a game changer. The shade range is incredible and I've never been able to find a foundation shade that matches me so well. But, I just don't know how to get this to last on my face! I have even used powder and setting spray and still have oily skin by the end of the day. I have used far heavier and fuller foundations like the YSL all hours foundation, that last longer and provide a greater finish and coverage.

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...
