loreal infallible 24hr matte foundation - vanilla ♥

Hey loves, 

Today is a foundation post, who knew that ive been buying this many foundations?

The packaging is pretty good compared to most squeeze tubes, and the bit it comes out of is that thin you can determine how much you will need, on the back it says what the product is - matte, high coverage, ect. In my opinion alot of companies need to take notes and learn from this because its so easy these days to go in looking for a dew and come out with a matte if you haven't done your research first.

This is something special though - a non cakey, long lasting, matte but not flat foundation theres not many foundations i can say that about, if its matte its flat, if its long lasting its high coverage and drying, if its cakey is high coverage and hard to blend but this is easy to blend, last atleast a good 13 hours, its matte enough to last but not matte that you look half dead.  

i cant see it working on really dry skin but i know a few people with dry skin that has tried and loved it, i honestly think its more to do with the prep you do before it.. i prefer a dewy look personally so i use a radiant primer a matte foundation and then highlight but i cant complain since id say this was a satin matte rather than fully matte -  have you tried this foundation? what did you think?

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. 

W7 Prime Magic Anti-Redness Primer ♥

Hello loves,

In the tube this looks revolting but blended in theres no green tinge or nothing it just contracts the red nicely, i really dont have that much redness but in the summer i get alot more around my nose and cheeks but its one of them things that i always think of theres better out there, but i feel like that about primers in general, this is my fav anti red primer so far but im always on the look out for new primers to find "the one" so if you have any recommendation please leave them below! 

makeup revolution blusher - treat ♥

hello loves, 

i havent ordered or brought much from makeup revolution, i keep saying im going to place a order and never do but i have a list that is ever ever growing from them! so after my holiday im hoping to place a big big order with them. ive said it before and ill say it again i love the rose gold writing on the packaging, i like that its a round pan rather than rectangle the packaging can break but it clips back in perfectly so no biggy and if it does break i can just replace it for £1 price tag. 

left blended - right not blended

im drawn to coral shades when it comes to blush, its very rare for me to love a hot pink like most people do im to pale to pull that off. this is a coral/peachy shade with fiine gold glitter going through it to make it look not so flat. these blushes can be quite powdery which is expected for a £1 nothings perfect but they blend like a dream and the last power is fabulous for such a low priced product i can wear this all day with out touch ups. I do plan on getting the other shades too. 

W7 High Definition Foundation - Buff ♥

Hey sweets,

W7 has been featuring on a lot of blogs recently aswell as mine, this was on a market stall with a few other bits that ive already done a review on, this was the first foundation ive tried from the brand and the packaging really impressed me, a class bottle aswell as a pump all for £2?! pretty good right?

The names a big claim to not be able to hold up to, i keep referring to the price because a high definition foundation is normally above the £10 mark so a very big claim. i can say that it blurs everything, and i mean everything! i can have the worlds biggest spot on my chin and it will blur it out and looks fabulous in pictures, (see below) it looks quite dark but its actually a perfect match for my pale self. it claims to last 16hrs i havnt put that claim to the test but i can wear it to 10hrs without a issue and could possible wear it longer.

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?
