Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free *Review*

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of trying new foundations but let me just start by saying I’m so happy my friend persuaded me into buying the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It has now replaced my beloved Max Factor 3 in 1 foundation which I have been using for over two years!

There’s so many great qualities, why I love this tinted moisturizer, even though it’s a tinted moisturizer it gives of amazing coverage and really does even your skin tone. I love the fact that it’s so light and makes your skin look fresh and gives you a natural, healthy glow but most of all looks like you’re not wearing any make-up at all! It might be on the more pricey side of tinted moisturizers but it’s worth every penny in my eyes (£27).

When I first started using this tinted moisturizer I wasn’t the biggest fan because I wasn’t use to using my fingers when applying my foundation. However, after a few days of using my fingers I finally got use to it. To make sure it was fully buffed into my skin after blending the product with my fingers I get a small brush and just buff my face and neck to make sure it’s all blended.

I love how easy it blends and even using a small amount it really does go along way! It's quite buildable; usually I add a little bit more around my chin to cover the redness. This product is perfect to cover mild acne scars and redness around the face. Another reason why I’m obsessed with this product is because it doesn't crease especially on the drier areas like the under eye area.

Revlon PhotoReady Powder Foundation *Review*

It's been a while since I last did a beauty review so I wanted to start by saying I’ve found a cheaper powder foundation which personally seems to last longer overall and also stays on a lot longer! Win - win situation! I thought I’d never be able to find a better powder foundation than The Body Shop one but after trying many powder foundations I came across Revlon PhotoReady Powder Foundation. I’ve never been a big fan of Revlon’s make-up but this foundation is amazing!

It’s perfect if you like wearing BB/CC cream or if you don’t like to wear a lot of make-up. However, if you’re having a break out or if you like more coverage it’s so easy to build up and buff into your skin for a full coverage without it looking cakie or patchy!  

I recommend people that don’t like to spend hours doing their make-up or if you’re in a rush to work, college etc to try this foundation out. If you’re on a budget and can’t afford expensive foundation then for £11 pounds (Superdrug) you can’t really beat it!

La Roche-Posay - Effaclar A.I *Review*

So before I even explain what a life saver this little product is, let me just say bloody hell the name is such a pain to say (aha)! But seriously this skin care product is amazing! Even though it comes in a tiny packaging, a little really does go a long way. All you need is a tiny dot on your ring finger and dab it over any redness you have and just watch the transformation happen in just a few days!

For me this product has been a life saver, honestly my skin has improved so much and I can finally say goodbye to the yucky, ugly red spots that were taking over my face!

The Best Powder Foundation (High street)

Ok, so I've been wearing make up for the best part of three years. In that time I've tried a lot of different high street brands such as Rimmel, Gosh and Max-factor who sell powder foundation and I have to say I found my favourite powder foundation in the most shocking shop (which I'd never think to buy make up from) and that's The Body Shop!

I've never thought to try Body Shop make up before but have to say I'm so glad I did :3

There's so many reasons why I love The Body Shop all-in-one face base powder foundation. One of the reasons is because of the sleek, silver, compact packaging which makes it perfect to carry around when you're shopping and you need a little touch up or you've had a hard day at work and you've gotten a little oily. Another reason why I think this powder foundation is amazing, is because it never ends!! Well of course it does end but it literally lasts me 4/5 months and I use it every single day all over my face and then in the middle of the day on my T-zone and chin just so I can carry on looking fresh ;)

This powder foundation is perfect if you're in a rush and you just want some coverage. Easy to apply and doesn't get cakey! Talk about a win, win situation?!

Just try it, trust me you won't look back :D
