I get bored really quickly when it comes to foundation, if my coverage doesn't keep up I'll get another one and after my holiday tan faded I really needed a new foundation to stop me from looking pasty. Maybelline is normally my go-to brand, I love how smooth their products make my skin look but I decided to go for something a bit more upmarket, in the hope I would get my money's worth. I'll admit I didn't intend on buying this product, but after trying it I had to have it. Bare Minerals are known for their mineral based, powder foundations but they've final released a liquid foundation mixed with a serum. It. Is. Amazing.
I thought I'd need a darker colour to the foundation I was using before but after getting colour matched it turned out I needed the palest shade (how embarrassing). The foundation on its own is £26 and the dented stippling brush is sold separately for £24. I didn't feel the need to buy the brush because I already had a real techniques one and it works amazingly with the foundation. All you have to do is drop the foundation onto the brush and buff it onto your face. This way you don't waste any product which is just fabby because a little goes a long way. I would probably use two drops on my whole face, maybe 4 if I'm in a rush and don't want to sit and buff for ages. The coverage is great with this foundation, it stays put and you can build it up without looking caked in make up which is great for me.
I would seriously recommend this to everyone, it's such an essential!
Garnier Micellar Water Review
Okay It's been a while but I've been super busy and I'm trying not to be so rubbish.
I've been using Garnier's micellar water for months now and I thought maybe I should write something about it. At first I loved it, as it's a chemical water it was great for my sensitive skin, especially for removing eye make up as it dissolved it in seconds, even my most stubborn mascara was so easy to remove and it didn't make my skin feel greasy like most oil based eye make up removers. The micellar water is suitable for eyes and face so it saved me money as I didn't have to buy two separate prouducts, just one bottle for £4 or so. Taking off my make up literally took seconds and I couldn't fault it, until recently. I've just bought my second bottle but I've noticed lately that my skin has just started to break out all the time, I've never really had spotty skin but right now it's the worst it's ever been. This may be my fault as I work in a kitchen and it gets sweaty but I also use St Ives apricot scrub so I haven't been solely relying on the micellar water.
The product comes in a large bottle, 400ml, which is amazing value for money as the L'Oreal micellar water is only 250 ml and costs a lot more. Garnier claims you can get 200 uses out of each bottle but I haven't been counting. The bottle is clear with a sticker on the back with pink graphics which makes it so pretty and girly. I would recommend it as it made my evening routine so much quicker and easier but maybe team it with another make up cleanser so you don't end up with the same problems I have had.
