My Everyday Face

These are the products I have been using on my face for about a month now, and I absoloutely love them. This routine for me is so much faster but gives the same awesome finish - my skin looks great and healthy but it's a lot faster which is a big bonus!

The products I use are;

- NARS Sheer Glow in Punjab

- Maybelline Fit Me concealer

- Chisel Cheeks by Barry M

- Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Lovely Pink

- MUA Matte Perfect powder 

L'Oreal Super Liner brow pencil in Dark Brown

- L'Oreal Telecopic Mascara in Black

- Bourjois Liquid liner in Black

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation and Primer

As I'm sure I have said quite a few times, I adore L'Oreal and it's fast becoming my favourite drugstore brand and without doubt, I absolutely love this combo! This foundation and Primer is gorgeous and if you were to wear them on their own, they look great as well. 

I bought them together when there was a 3 for 2 which I also done a blog post on which you can find here. The foundation retails for £10.99 and primer is £9.99 which is a tad bit more expensive than other brands like Rimmel and Maybelline.

The primer is gorgeous, it has almost a silver appearances and when it's applied to the skin it gives it such a healthy and radiant appearance - without looking oily or greasy.

The foundation is also very radiant without looking oily, it just makes your skin look so healthy and beautiful and as if it's glowing from within. It has I'd say a medium to definitely a builable full coverage as it does a very good job at covering the redness on my cheeks. 

         Here is a picture of the primer and foundation together - as you can see my skin looks flawless and radiant and I'm absolutely in love! You all need to try this combo :)

L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation and Primer

As you can see, my skin is very matte in the areas where I don't have a highlighter which is my nose, cheekbones and cupids bow

L'Oreal is fast becoming my favourite drugstore brand yet, they're products are absolutely amazing and the quality of each is superb. I bought the Infallible 24H Matte foundation and Primer a few weeks ago when they were on offer for £6.99 each in Superdrug and I've been trying them out for quite a while as well, I actually have two shades of the foundation - Porcelain and Sand Beige but for the purpose of this review I decided to do Porcelain as I don't usually show my pale foundations.

The foundation and Primer are fabulous together! The Primer has a very light texture and smooths onto the skin like a dream giving it a matte appearance. It doesn't feel greasy or sticky and doesn't leave any kind of residue on your skin.

The foundation matches me very well which is a bit surprising because usually I can't find one that does. It has quite a thicker texture/feel to it without it being too heavy, my skin still feels natural and like it's able to breath. The coverage is fairly high and is definitely build able without looking cakey - and it also applies matte onto the skin.

The staying power is also incredible, I wore this for a few days from around 8am to about 6.30-7pm and it did not budge, at all. It lasted well around 10.5 hours without a touch up, though that could be contributed to the fact I have dry skin, but even without that I'd say this would last a decent amount of time on any skin type

I do have dry skin so I was a bit wary when I first picked this foundation up, but I can honestly say I haven't had any problems with this foundation clingy to any dry areas or making me look patchy and I think it is mostly down the the fact I moisturise before I apply primer/foundation and also because of the Primer itself, helping to smooth out my skin - so even if you do have dry skin, I would highly recommend this duo, they are brilliant!

L'Oreal 3 for 2

I love L'Oreal, it is by far one of the best drugstore brand that you can purchase and when I seen they had it on 3 for 2 in Superdrug, I knew I had to take advantage. So I picked up the Lumi Magique Foundation (£10.99) the Lumi Magique Primer (£9.99) and the Telescopic Mascara in Extreme Black (£10.99) I got the Primer for free which I thought was a pretty awesome bargain. 

The main item I wanted was the foundation - I had heard and seen so many good things about this in Youtube and I'm pretty sure Nicole Querriero is a fan of this foundation. I went for the shade W5 because I do fake tan and the tan I use is quite golden and it's so hard trying to find a foundation with the same warmth and golden tone so I went for this one and I love it. I then picked up the primer because when I swatched it, it was gorgeousssss and I like to co-ordinate and finally I picked up the mascara becaue I had also heard a lot of good things about the original Telescopic mascara and I figured I may as well :)

I will be doing reviews of these items soon so keep an eye out :)

First Impression - L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Magic Blur

 
Today has been the first time I have tried this product, and already by just a first impression I am really impressed. It is said to be an instant skin smoother, it instantly erases the appearance of wrinkles, pores and imperfections. 

On the first application I noticed it had made my face so soft - it has the same sort of consistence as Benefit's The Porefessional - except this one is white. It immediately made my skin look so much brighter and minised my pores on my nose amazingly well and just generally made my skin look so much better. 

It made my make-up look flawless and it has lasted all day, even throughout the heat and with me rubbing my nose and touching my face etc.

Overall, this product is wonderful, it's my now favourite primer :)

MIA and Shopping

I'm going to apologise for being so MIA lately, I've been so busy with tech everyday and working nights that I haven't had time to properly sit down and do a post - granted I don't really have the time at the minute to either, but I don't want to leave you guys hanging.

Plus... I have been doing quite a bit of shopping this past month - like, a lot. Especially in Boots and Superdrug... I'm addicted. So I thought I would share with you the items I have purchsed in the past few weeks, beauty and non beauty. 

 I intend to do a blog post about the make-up items quite soon and I'll obviously be going into a lot more detail as well so keep an eye out :)
