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!

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...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
