maybelline superstay 24hour foundation - ivory ♥

hello loves,

I'm becoming a foundation fanatic, I've brought and tried quite a few recently that i believe there's been one nearly every month? 

i brought this one as part of my 3 for 2 from boots one time when i was on a maybelline foundation kick (if there's 2 foundations from the same brand i will pick up a 3rd from the same brand anyone else do that? i also get most my foundations in the 3 for 2 because I'm a bargain hunter!) this is a foundation I've tried and tried and tried but just cant love, i like it but i don't love it, all my beauty girls will understand when its just a "mehhh" product. Its got a pump which i like & its a glass bottle which again i love, you cant take the pump of though which i find wastes alot of product which gets stuck to the sides and bottom of the bottle which i would normally just tap out onto the back of my hand. 

it looks so so orange on my hand which is very strange since it was a perfect match when blended out properly, on my face it looks fine when its all done and dusted since I'm pretty good at picking out my shade now just by looking at the bottle since I'm always pale, i don't fake tan and i don't tan normally since my skin just doesn't do it for me which i deal with. it doesn't last 24 hours on me but that might mean I'm in the environment since I'm always in a hot environment and rushing here and there doing this and that basically always using heat either on me, on clients and well everyone but i only have to touch up once on a full day in the salon so not that bad, its more drying than i would like so i do use this with a beauty blender to add more of that hydration and my primer is a glowy one when i use this.

Like i said i just don't love it, i can and will use it because its not all that bad but its not something i reach for i actually force myself to use it. 

Revlon colorstay foundation - 180 sand beige ♥

hello loves, 

this is one of the foundations that i like then i dont like and then i love. revlon colorstay is a cult favourite in the blogging/youtube/beauty world, and for a while i was put off because of all the hype. its a glass bottle which i love, no pump but i can deal with that the lid breaks if you screw it on to tight so all round not fabulous packaging but it can be sorted with easy hands or buying a pump from mac or using one from a old foundation. 

there are 2 kinds of formula to this foundation a combo to oily & normal to dry, i got the combo to oily since im combo really there should have been a combo to normal and combo to dry aswell but hey we cant have everything. This is quite liquidy and not as thick as i assumed it would be it is medium coverage and can be built up to high if needed personally i dont do that i dont need to but if you do then that is a option, it does last along time without primers and setting powders/sprays with is fab i havent tried the claims of 24hours but ive wore it for 9/10 hours and it wore beautifully, the shade 180 sand beige is a perfect match for me where buff was a little to pale,  it does look flawless with a brush, sponge and fingers & over all im happy with it but as a i said i do go through phases and sometimes i can put it on and think i dont look right it all depends on how my skin is that day. as i said ive got more combo to normal skin so i like a little more dew than this gives and sometimes this is just perfect. 

Maybelline Fitme Foundation - 120 classic ivory ♥

hey dolls,

today is a foundation i honestly thought i would hate, from what i had heard before i picked it up was its dewy - too dewy for someone who is a combo/oily, my skin is always changing sometimes its dry, then its oil slick, then is normal and then its just my t-zone but recently my skin has been normal and ive been enjoying the dewy glowy look. 

the bottle is glass as you can see, which i love i love pump foundations because i can always get the perfect amount with just one and half pumps, the glass does make it a little bit more highend looking. i have dropped this a number of times and its not broken or cracked which i always see as a plus!

The colour is classic ivory in the bottle it does look a little dark but when its pumped out you can see its lighter, this is a dewy foundation but i still use a highlighter since recently ive been all over the glowy look, this is a low/medium coverage foundation for me this is fabulous coverage i dont need a high coverage but i do use them when i feel a bit naked, for day to day im sorted with low/medium coverage. This can last for 6hours with a powder and 8 with a primer and powder which is pretty good going for this kind of foundation! 

this is 7.99 from boots and superdrug

covergirl trublend foundation - 410 classic ivory ♥

today is this foundation all the way from overseas, i believe this is the old packaging but i could be wrong, i got this of ebay while i was looking for my outlast stayfabulous, the bottles the same and so is the pump, it can be locked so it cant be pressed down! how fab is that? 

it is glass but i like that so dont mind all that much really since when i travel i pack it so its not going to fall and get damaged. 

the shade i got is classic ivory, the same shade that i had in outlast and its a great match for me, as you can see it is pale but im as pale as a ghost so its a good match, the finish is dewy and i love that ive gotten into the glowy look recently, it lasts about 9hours without touch ups which is pretty good going for a budget dewy finish foundation. 

i like this foundation and i reach for it when i want a dewy finish but not a strong dewy finish if that makes sense?

L'oreal Infalible Stay Fresh Foundation - Vanilla ♥

Hey loves, 

Today im going to be reviewing a foundation that i got when it first come out, i hauled it, put it in my drawer and forgot about it - does anyone else do that? 

maybelline color tattoo - bold gold ♥

now i love the color tattoo range from maybelline i think their the perfect thing what we needed for us eyeshadow lovers ( did i say us?) i picked up 3 from ebay sometime last year, and didnt realise that they was the american version (no biggy) just dropping that out there if your looking for this shade it may have a different name! 

i loved this when i first got it, but then i noticed the glitter (see swatch) which is my massive bugbare.. the thing with glitter is it gets everywhere! no matter if its set it always seems to find a way. the formula of these are like a dry cream which of course dries quickly but it looks perfect everytime. this is the one i least reach for because of the glitter.. 

but i will be review the over 2 soon! 

calvin klien tempting glimmer eyeshadow in sheer nectar ♥

 

today im back with a poundland purchase, from what i understand now ck makeup is hard to come by? or am i making that up and its everywhere? anyway at the time these were all over the internet making their appearance from poundland and i also believe that these turned up on the scene with brothers and sisters in the forms of lipsticks and blushers? but when i made it to my local poundland they only had the eyeshadows! 

i picked this one up thinking i may not like it so theres no point in me buying like 10 and then just sitting in my drawer till i give them to a friend well im here to say that they arnt going anywhere! ive actually picked up some more recently from poundland so thats how much i like these. They are great as a base for a powdered shadow on top but also pigmented enough to be able to just put this on and go. their creamy but not to creamy that they crease like crazy.. i find that these have a good 7hours wear before it starts to go which is pretty good going for something that doesnt say that its long lasting! they are easy to blend out too. The colour here is a purple-y bronze (the swatch below doesnt do it justice at all!) its shimmery but not glitterly which is a massive bonus point! 

if you could get them in your local poundland you can order them here for £2.25
