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!

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...
