Description:

"Our fresh foundation has an anti-shine core.  Its' ultra-light formula is enriched with powders to instantly absorb excess oil.  Controls shine for a natural-looking, flawless finish.  Our first 2-in-1 foundation stick with anti-shine core goes on effortlessly to reveal flawless, lightweight coverage.  Easy to use and perfect for the on-the-go-touch ups."

Review:

So I have oily-combination skin and love trying out new base makeups that claim to keep me shine free all day especially on the T-zone area.  While I'm not really a foundation "stick" person, I thought I'd give this a go anyway due to the small packaging and easy to travel with/carry around design.

First thing I noticed with this foundation stick is that this has a more creamy texture compared to other stick foundations where they can be harder and definitely requires blending with fingers as body temperature helps to 'melt' the foundation making it easier to blend.  Due to the more creamy texture, I can easily blend with a brush which is the method I prefer!

This foundation stick gives a sheer to light/medium coverage - though I would discourage layering it on to try and create a higher coverage as it will look cakey.  Even though it did initially keep me shine free, it doesn't last as long as other matifying foundations.  This may be due to it's sheerer coverage where less powder is deposited so less powder to absorb the oils.  However, it still did a pretty good job lasting around 3-5 hours depending what sort of day I've had.  This also isn't an extremely long wearing foundation, it starts to fad around the same time it stops keeping my oils away, so definitely requires touching up.

Some positives that I've noticed is that it feels soooo lightweight you can barely feel it on your skin, and even though coverage isn't that high, it does even out my skin tone giving me a natural looking finish.

The 2 layer system seems a bit gimmicky to me and shade selection (6 shades available) leaves a lot to be desired, however, overall, this is a good foundation that I would recommend especially for those that just wants a light foundation to even out skin tone and not require a lot of coverage.  Even though this is an anti-shine foundation, I think it's more suited for the oily/combination skin type than those with really oily skin.

Price: £8.99

Review: Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation

Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation:

http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Fit-Me-Foundation_1279214/

• No oils, no waxes, no nonsense
• Natural coverage that leaves skin the way it was meant to be…fresh, breathing, natural
• Exclusive translucent base and lightweight pigments allow skin's natural highs and lows to show through
• Non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested



To summarise what I reviewed in the video, this foundation gives a light to light/medium coverage, feels light weight and gives a smooth slightly powdered finish.  It went on really well using a kabuki brush leaving no streaks, did not separate, move, or disappear on my combination/oily skin throughout the day either.  It also lasted a good full day, say from 7am til about 7pm, so staying power is pretty good.  However, I do use primer & powder when using this foundation, as it transfers really easily, so you need to be cautious when using this foundation.  If you are one of those that touches your face throughout the day etc, I definitely do not recommend this foundation.  Another thing to note is it did oxidise throughout the day, and though it didn't affect me much as I'm sort of between two shades anyway, those with paler skin may want to buy the next shade down.

People I do not recommend this to are those with dry skin as the powdery finish can emphasise any dry areas, & definitely not for those with really oily skin as I guess the transfer will only be worse with really oily skin!

The bottle comes with a pump which is nice, however, the pump does release quite a fair amount in one pump so just use one pump first and if you need more then go for another.  The foundation comes out quite watery, however, it does provide the stated coverage when applied.

Overall, I've used this foundation for over a month now & still grab for it once in a while.  I like the finish it gives me, and I learnt not to touch my face whenever I have foundation on which is another added bonus I guess.  The shade fits me well - I bought 220 (I'm an NC25-27) and like I said, it lasts all day.  It's also the only drug-store liquid foundation that hasn't broken me out, so I'm impressed with that as well.  While it's not the best foundation out there, for the price, packaging and formula, I consider it pretty good!

Comes in around 12 shades (from Boots) & caters for both pink and yellow undertones.
Price: 7.99GBP

Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I've always been very skeptical about 'western brand' BB creams as all the ones I've tried have been very disappointing.....still, it hasn't stopped me from carrying on and trying more out!  Next to catch my eye was the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream.  It has been out in the UK for quite a long time now and after um-ing and ahh-ing, I decided to just get it.

"Your 8-in-1 Skin Perfector: Imperfections look blurred, a natural looking glow, fresh feel, compliments skin tone, skin looks smooth, hydrates, protects, oil-free"

In the UK, it comes in four shades: Universal, Light, Medium and Dark.  At the moment, I'm between NC25-NC30 - leaning more towards NC30, and decided to buy the Light shade as for some reason, medium just didn't sit right with me when trying out on my hand in-store.  I'm glad I bought the light shade as it's perfect for me.

It comes out looking a bit pale, however, once applied to the skin, it blends in really well with no grey cast at all.  It also oxidises a bit quite quickly which brought it to my perfect shade, so I didn't have to leave the house looking pale!  As the photo shown below, smoothes and blends out really well.


I have combination/oily skin that leans on the oilier side in the summer, and found that this BB cream works well for my skin.  It didn't totally control my oils, however, even after a full day of wear, I hardly needed to touch nor blot away my oils excessively.  So this is definately one BB cream that is suitable for those with oilier skin. 

The coverage is light as is with most 'western brand' BB creams and I'd say it's possible to build slightly to light-medium coverage, however, even without building up, it does a good job blurring out blemishes, then only a light brush of concealer will be needed for darker blemishes.  It hasn't clogged up my pores nor caused any breakouts which is great as most things causes my blemish prone skin to break out!

The formula feels really light and refreshing thanks to its oil-free, water-based gel formula, so definately a great summer BB cream.  Because of the light consistancy, there is no caking, nor does it sit in my fine lines when used under the eye.  And to top it off, it has an SPF 30, which isn't as high as some of the 'eastern brand' BB creams but definately one of the higher ones compared to other 'western brand' BB creams.

So out of all the 'western brand' BB creams I've tried (including Clinique, Dior, MAC, Garnier, collection 2000 etc etc etc), this is top of the list at the moment, however, next up is the L'oreal Nude Magique BB cream, which again, I've been eyeing for quite a while!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream retails for around 9.99 GBP.

Black Smokey Eye Tutorial


Hey guys, this was a requested video on how I do my black smokey eye look.  Just a reminder, I am not a makeup artist and I havn't had any form of beauty training whatsoeva.  How I do my eyes is through trial and error and eventually what works and looks good for me.  Don't forget, everyone's eyes are different and you'll need to adapt to what works for you.  But hopefully, you'll be able to pick up something useful from this video!
