Tried & Tested - New Revlon Candid Foundation

It's no secret that I love wearing foundation, and in summer, although I love a full face of makeup, I love letting my skin breathe. So when I saw Revlon's new Candid foundation, I could not resist!

I was drawn to this because the packaging and claims remind me of the It Cosmetics CC Cream and thought this may be a more affordable dupe. The packaging is my kind of packaging, a tube with a pump. I love this for travelling and find it easier to throw in a bag if I'm in a rush.

The texture of this foundation is like a cream and I find it applies best when I use my fingers. It blends into my skin seamlessly and gives a nice light to medium coverage, it covers my acne scars but doesn't look thick.

The shade range isn't the best, as I got the shade 240 as i am a bit more tanned in summer, but the lightest concealer shade which is 10 matches the shade 240, so I wish the concealer shades could be lighter and a wider range in the foundation, but as it is light coverage it is forgiving. It is also lasts a long time on my skin for a light coverage, skin like foundation. I can wear it for about 6 hours before I need some concealer and powder, which for a natural looking foundation, is a pretty long time!

Overall, this foundation is divine, perfect for summer and is that second skin foundation I have been searching for! It is beautiful!

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...
