Hey everyone, haven't posted in a while, just been super busy with college. I'm studying photography (don't think I've even told you that), so let me know if you want to see any of my work? :)
Anyway, because I haven't posted for so long, I have discovered some rather beautiful products that I want to share with you guys!:)
So it seems I've been very drawn to L'Oreal? I think I just like how the packaging is always pretty damn good for drugstore products.
L'Oreal True Match Foundation -
It's no secret that I'm a huge lover of the true match foundation, mainly because it genuinely matches my pale yellow skin (W1, Golden Ivory for all you lovely pasty people(me included)). It's also got a lovely, sort of satin finish, so it's good for dry skin, but doesn't look wet, I hate that. But I do powder, just to look extra matte, but that's just my preference. The reason it's not quite a 10 for me, is just because it wouldn't last all day without powder - 9/10
Soap & Glory Hocus Pocus Higlighter -
Yes this sounds like some sort of witch craft, fairy tale potion, and I tell you, it is! It leaves a slight shimmer highlight, with a sort of iridescent sheen. It has both yellow and pink undertones, in a 'white' base, which makes it perfect for any skin tone. I mix it in with my foundation when I want to look bright and awake. When I want a more matte finish, I just apply it to the top of my cheek bones. But because I could live without it - 8/10
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - Transparent -
Oh yes, the trusty beauty blogger/gurus best friend. I love this stuff, especially the transparency, because like I mentioned, finding a skin tone match for me is near impossible. It's keeps shine away, and helps my foundation & more importantly concealer, last all day. Because I wish they did have a pale yellow shade, so that I could add a little coverage - 9/10
L'Oreal La Touche Magique True Match -
What a great creation. I love this stuff. I have the shade D.W 1-2 Ivory Beige, which is supposed to match my shade of foundation. It's slightly paler than my foundation, so it adds a definate highlight to under my eyes, but doesn't add a huge amount of coverage, which is why I apply my collection lasting perfection concealer before this. What it does do, is add a bright, awake look to my complexion - perfect for photography. Because I'd like more coverage ( I have the darkest under eye circles, thanks dad ) - 7/10
L'Oreal Brow Art Plumper -
More L'Oreal! This is the best brow gel that I have tried from the drugstore. I was a fan of both the Rimmel and Maybelline one, but not so much after finding this. The brush is super easy to use, and applies a nice amount of colour, some days this is all I'll use and it still gives me good brows. I use the shade 04 Dark, which is perfect for me, but they could have more colour selections, as they only have this and a blond. But they do have a clear one if you just need it to keep your brows in place. Because of the limited shades - 8/10
L'Oreal Superliner Perfect Slim -
Like the brow gel, this is my favourite drugstore liner. It is super fine, so you can be really precise with the line you want. It lasts longer than the Collection one (as in doesn't dry out) & stays on my eyes all day. I just love how easy it is to use - 10/10
Rimmel Lip Liner - Velvet Beige (Kylie Jenner Inspired)
It has been my fave to wear just a lip liner over my entire lip. I'm loving Kylie Jenner's style at the minute (who isn't?), and this shade was an attempt at a Mac Soar dupe. It lasts super long and the colour suits my skin one perfectly. - 10/10
L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara -
I love this mainly for the brush. It has a plastic wand, which grabs each individual lash really nicely. The main downfall to this mascara is the fact that it doesn't really curl the lashes, and even if you use an eyelash curler, it still won't hold. - 7/10
L'Oreal Color Riche - 461 Scarlett Creme -
I wear this if I'm in more of a bold mood, which is when I put the lip pencil down, and pick this up. This is a very classic pillar-box red, it suits a lot of different skin tones. The texture is really creamy and smooth, so doesn't dry the lips out. It lasts nicely, not all day though and you'll have to touch up after you've eaten. - 8/10
Thanks for reading :), If you'd like me to post a tutorial of this look, or just a picture to show it on, let me know :)
