L'Oreal Lumi Magique foundation Reveiw

I have been on the hunt for a new 'drugstore' foundation for ages! i wanted something with a more dewy, glow look more than matte which is what I normally go for.

Lumi Magique is supposed to be a  'light infusing' foundation with 'liquid light technology' - whatever that is?!

The foundation does give a glowing, dewy finish which looks very healthy without looking oily.

Its a medium to buildable coverage but doesn't look cakey at all. I use a buffing brush to work the foundation into my skin and this seemed to be a lot better than a regular foundation brush. This gives it more of a 'second skin' look.

It evens out your skin tone and any discoloration and hides any blemishes, i rarely use concealer on blemishes when i use this foundation.

It is very long wearing, espesially when some areas set with powder. But I don't set mine with power unless i know its going to be hot, or i wouldn't be able to retouch for a while and it still lasts most of the day.

I love that its in a pump bottle, this makes accident prone people like myself less likely to make a mess! 

Superdrug/Boots -£10.99 

Revlon Lipbutter - Strawberry Shortcake

As soon as my local Superdrug got these in stock i spent about half an hour swatching which ones to get, i came out the shop with rainbow colored hands! But after some thinking this is defiantly my favorite!

Strawberry Shortcake is a really pretty light pick color, its one of the sheerer colors in the range but its lets the natural color of your lips come through and adds vibrancy so its great just for the day time or when your going out with a heavier eye! But still does have an impressive amount of pigment considering its a Lipbutter.

I really love the formula of the Lipbutters, they are really moisurising on the lips and they don't feel sticky at all! There is a great color range to choose from, its almost daunting! They are all really wearable and you can defiantly find a perfect shade for you, I love these for the day time and every time i go near a stall I'm tempted to buy more!

What do you think of Revlon Lipbutters?

April Favorites!

Another month, another favorites! 

I am really loving the Real Techniques Blusher Brush. I picked it up after months of waiting and I am so happy with it! The brush tapers to allow presice application and it really applies blush evenly! I really recommend this brush and i cannot wait to pick up more of these brushes.

Boots - £9.99

After looking around for ages picking a new foundation to wear to college, I settled with the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation. I didnt have high hoped but now im so pleased i picked this one up! It leaves a dewy healthy glow on the skin and lasts all day which is perfect for my long days at college! 

Boots - £10.99

I have had this Rimmel Soft Khol Liner for a while but this month i have defiantly found a daily use for it! I place it in the corners of my eyes and run it along the bottoms of my eyes  and blend to open my eyes up, which is great for early morning starts!

I am so excited about Revlon Lipbutters! I waited for ages for them to come in at my local Superdrug! I picked up the color Strawberry Shortcake which is a very wearable light pink. These are very moisturizing on the lips and great for the day time!

What are your favorite products this month? 

dry, damaged, unhappy hair?

If it's from bleaching, heat or any other factors damaged hair can be  a pain! I've been bleaching my hair to get it back to blonde for a while as I was naturally blonde but went very dark! (and regretted it.)

From all the dying and bleaching and heat my hairs pretty unhappy! So I keep extra care of it so it keeps looking as healthy as I can.

Aussie Leave in Conditioner is my go to product. I use this ever time i wash my hair without fail! It keeps my hair feeling soft, not as many knots. But i only use this on the ends of my hair else my roots go greasy! (be warned) 

I use Moroccan Oil if i can feel i have a bad hair day coming on! Only happy a small amount to the ends of my hair and it conditions them making them look soft a luscious! ... but if it gets onto my roots i look like a grease ball!

I have a love/hate relationship with Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle. I use this ever now and again so I only buy the sachets. Some times this makes a massive difference but sometimes it does nothing at all. My hair has a personality!

Have you got any hair care secrets?

March Favorites

Another month has gone so its time for my monthly favorites!

First of all my Topshop Lipstick in Innocence this is my go to lipstick for the day or i use a glos over the top for when i go out in the evening, i love the texture, the finish and the color is amazing! Really want to pick up more of these!

My MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation has also been a favorite of mine this month, ever since i picked this up I've wanted to use it everyday! It's great for my dryish skin and the staying power is great!

However many blushers i buy i always seem to be reaching for my Gosh Blush in Electric Pink. I love the color and the texture is great!

Also;

Pastel colors or colored jeans!

Neutral nails.

The sun! (when it was out)

My gorgeous friends- they have helped me through a lot this month

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation

As you may have seen in one of my previous posts i have finally invested in a MAC foundation! I went to get matched up and the sales women asked me a few questions about my skin and in the end i opted for Studio Sculpt Foundation and I was matched to NW20. I have used this quite a few times and thought it was defiantly time for a review! 

Studio Sculpt is a gel-based foundation which I had never even heard of! The texture is lovely and a little goes a long way! It gives you a medium/buildable coverage with a satin finish!

It is very long wearing I wear this to college and it stay on perfectly! Its a lovely texture and feel so soft on your skin, its great for drier skin as its feels a lot more moisturising and doesn't emphasize flaky skin.

I found that my Bobbi Brown foundation brush wasn't the best for applying this and i think it is because it is gel based so its a very different constancy, so i also tried a make up sponge and stippling brush and i found the my KCo stippling brush was a great match to apply this foundation with! 

The foundation has SPF 15 which is a great bonus especially if you live somewhere sunny! (where i live not so much!)

My final thoughts- I really love this foundation, the color matched me very well and the constancy and texture feels lovely!

MAC - £23 (but its worth it! - treat yourself!)
