Choosing the right foundation

So foundations is always a tricky thing to buy. Not like eye shadow or mascara where you don't have to worry if the shade is right. Actually getting the perfect shade of foundation is tricky and definitely something I still struggle with now. Especially if you are ordering the foundation online.. i bought a shade 10x to dark for me oops!

The perks of buying a high end foundation, is usually you will get the colour tested so it is literally perfect for your skin tone. Even better so, most the time you get a little sample pot to try the foundation, before parting with £30 plus pounds on something you don't like. 

• Don't be afraid to ask for a sample! I did this for ages, but at least if you try a sample you can see if you like it or not. If its drug store, then see if you can get a sample whether its from Feel unique pick and mix which you can read my review here. I got a tester pot of Estee Lauder Double Wear before buying it. Turns out I loved it anyway, but least I was sure before parting with my money. So this foundation is my favourite high end one, it just find the coverage is perfect for me and it is so wearable. 
•  Bourjois Healthy Mix  I tried a little sachet of this before. I must admit, the sachet barely covered my face so it was tricky to work out if i like it or not. Luckily I did. This and L'Oreal True match are my two favourite drug store foundations. However I must admit the Bourjois foundation is a little bit light for me. Ah well nothing bronzer can't solved!!
• Read reviews before you buy the foundation!! Find out if its good for dry/oily skin and see if its the kind of coverage you want. If you don't want to trail through reviews, then usually under the product, people have already rated and reviewed them.

Whats your favourite foundations? Have you try any mentioned above?

My Favourite Loreal Products

If someone was to ask me what my all time favourite makeup brand, I would have to say I always go back to L'Oreal. I don’t believe I have had a bad product yet from them, which makes them my saviours and go to brand. So I thought I would do a post on my favourites products from L'Oreal.

Loreal Palette

These days you can get all sorts of eye shadow palettes on the market, some very high end ie Too Faced or Naked Palettes or Makeup geek eye shadows which you can see my post about them here. Or drug store like Ted Baker palette which you can read my review about them here and even W7 makeup. However not all the time but most I find the cheaper palettes have a lot of fall out and aren't that pigmented. BUT, this is very reasonably priced and the quality of it, is spot on. 

Loreal concealer

Now this concealer I love.. I find you get some concealers that just look really cakey under your eyes, but this one looks lovely. Non of that cakey business.

Loreal true match- 

Aaah my holy grail foundation!!! I just love love love this foundation (can you tell i love it) There is so many different shades now, this is always and I think will be my go to foundation. Its such a build able foundation which is fab for every occasion. 

Loreal Lipstick

This is in the shade Julianne Nude. I wrote about my favourite nude lipsticks including this one which you can read here. I just love this particular lipstick as it is so moisturising on the lipsticks and really is the perfect shade for every day wear. 

Do you like L'Oreal products? Have you tried any mentioned above?

Lots of love,

February Favourites

Its the end of Feb already.. whaat. Like we have had pancake day and valentine day already. One thing that means is.. its nearly easter egg time woo!! Quite scary really. Anyway it feels like ages since I did my last favourite post. I did my 2016 favourites which you can watch here. So yeah here goes for what I have been loving in February. I have been changing up my perfumes really, as I love  having different scents. So this month I have been loving  Modern Muse, it is nothing like my usual scents I go with, this is quite strong but nice. Maybelline lash sensational, I think will make it onto my 2017 favourites, its literally incredible. One good but bad thing also, it stays on your lashes that well, its a challenge to try remove it at the end of the day. Rimmel Provocalips is very similar to Maybelline super stay, it sticks on yours lips and lasts all day, woopppie. I don't know if anyone else has ever struggled with putting false lashes on, but in the past I use to find them a impossible task! However I am loving these Eylure lashes, they are curved so they fit perfectly onto your eye.

What have you been loving this month? Do you like some of these products I have mentioned?

Lots of love,

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows

For some reason, I am always willing to splurge out on eye shadows but try save on all other beauty products. I just love finding a really pigmented eye shadows that blends well. My new favourite eye shadows are.. Makeup Geek Eye.shadow. These are incredible. So the eye shadow shades I bought are Casino, Frappe, Cosmopolitan and lastly but not least Prom Night. I can't wait to try these out with my Ted Baker eye shadow palette, which you can read the review of here

How cute is this little trinket dish, you can buy it here

I went with orangery/ coral shades which is a bit out of my comfort step as I am use to wearing browns. These colours though blend out beautifully. 

I cant wait to start building up my Z palette, it looks a little bare right now!

L-R
Frappe
Prom Night
Cosmopolitan
Casino

Like how pigmented are these shadows, I have only used them once but they blended so beautiful and them shades all went together perfectly! I can't wait to fill my Z paletteZ palette.

Do you like makeup geek eye shadows? What are your favourite eye shadow palettes?

Lots of love,
