Is Too Faced's Ethereal Setting Powder Worth The Hype?

Setting Powder is one of those makeup products that I have a love hate relationship with. I love when my makeup feels set and provides a nice base for my bronzer and blush... But I hate the feeling of cakey, powdery makeup, that makes my face look and feel like the Sahara Desert. So I decided to give the Too Faced Ethereal Setting Powder a go after reading so many positive reviews!

This powder contains coconut water and hyaluronic acid, so I hoped it wouldn't be too drying, but would also stop my skin looking so oily in the day. I used this powder and boom I was sold! My complexion looked so much smoother and airbrushed when I applied this and it didn't look cakey or powdery, but made my skin look radiant somehow. This powder was everything I wanted, I could use it under my eyes to set concealer, all over to set foundation and it didn't feel like I was even wearing powder. It also stopped my skin getting oily and I didn't have to fix my makeup or apply powder again in the day!

Another thing I love about this product is the plastic seal that shuts the powder. I love this for travelling as the powder doesn't go everywhere, it's the little things you know.

The only downside of this product is that the colour translucent... isn't translucent , you can see from the picture above that it is more on the yellow toned side. But I am very pale and it doesn't show up on my skin at all as a colour. For reference, I find the Glossier Wowder in Light, too dark for my pale skin, but this looks great on my skin, so is definitely a lot lighter.

Overall, I am in love with this setting powder, it doesn't look cakey and drying and is the least powdery looking powder I have ever tried. It feels incredible and is my new holy grail!

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...
