Favourite new products


I love trying out new products hoping to find the perfect consistency without the product being either too thick and caking or with no coverage.

Ever since buying the MAC foundation which was a BIG waste of money I have always been cautious buying high end foundations. A lot of people say good things about the Estee lauder double wear and how it's full coverage but then again others say its thick and cakey. I wanted something that was going to be good coverage but wasn't some pore clogging cakey product.

The Collection foundation was good coverage but it sank into my pores and made my skin look so greasy which wasn't a good look or feeling. You get what you pay for and with the Collection foundation being £5.99 you cant complain and it is a bargain. This would be perfect for someone who doesn't have a quite oily face.

I thought I would try out the Bourjois healthy mix from Superdrug as Sarah Ashcroft used it a lot in her Youtube videos and it looked amazing. Reading about it and watching reviews on Youtube I decided to buy it and with it being £9.99 its a really affordable price. I've only worn it once since buying it as it came yesterday and I'm already in love with the consistency. It applies on the skin smoothly and is amazing coverage.

I use the Maybelline Baby skin Instant pore eraser under it which is also amazing! It is such a soft product and makes my skin look poreless (is it says on the packaging). Although, I wasn't expecting it to be as small as it is I thought it would of been bigger like the Rimmel primers.

Foundation Review

So i've recently ran out of my Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation and i thought i'd try something new but cheap as i dont really need a heavy full coverage foundation because my skin is pretty clear. 

I thought the Rimmel foundation was thick and clinged to random areas on my face so it looked blotchy. I also bought it in the shade Soft beige so it a tad darker than my natural skin tone which was hard to blend into my neck colour. It isnt suitable for if you have dry skin because i feel that it just makes it appear alot worse. 

I decided to purchase the Collection foundation because i've heard really good reviews and for the price which is £5.99 i thought that i'd have to try it out. I also really like the packaging because it's not too bright and has a matte glass affect which i think makes it very appealing. I got the shade Ivory 2 as my natural skin tone is quite light. On the back of the bottle it says 
• Lasts for up to 16 hours
• Flawless coverage
• Minimises imperfections
• SPF 20 
• Oil free
Even though it says oil free my face still gets very oily with this on but my face is that skin type so thats probably why. Thats why i didnt purchase the illumate one. 
The consistancy isnt too thick or thin so it's great for when you dont want that heavy cakey look but at the same time you want a nice natural looking coverage.
The coverage is buildable, i only apply 1 layer on as i dont need to cover anything really because my skin is clear. 
You can buy this foundation from Superdrug and online stores such as Amazon and the Collection website itself. 
I also use 2 concealers so thats why i dont need the coverage, i use these to add abit of colour to my face. I use the shades Porcelain and Natural Ivory from the L.A. Girl Pro HD concealers.
