Tweet Without even realising it, I have tried quite a few Bourjois foundations! I have tried: Bourjois Bio Detox, Flower Foundation, 123 Perfect, Mineral Matte, Sleep Effect…lots of them! I haven’t, until now, tried one of the best selling and most popular Bourjois bases – Healthy Mix! I purchased this when there was a 3 for 2 at Superdrug: I was choosing between this foundation and the Healthy Mix Serum, which is the newer version. Apparently the serum is better for oily {Read More}
Tweet Bourjois’s newest foundation release is 123 Perfect, which I happened to spot when I was last in Boots – I didn’t hear about it online which suggests it was released with very little fanfare! When it comes to high street/ drugstore level foundation, Bourjois is one of the few brands I would buy and use – I mean I buff foundation into my face every day and I do prefer the higher end premium bases because I don’t like {Read More}
Tweet Even when I have my daily foundation (usually liquid) sorted, I tend to always have some kind of cream compact foundation on the go too. I love creamy compact bases because they tend to be quite hydrating and offer good coverage – I keep this in my handbag for emergencies and touch ups. My latest purchase thanks to a random £5 credit to my Debenhams beauty card was the new Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Compact Make Up. I chose 40 {Read More}
Tweet I popped down to the Illamasqua counter near me a few weeks ago for reasons I will explain next week for a make over with one of my favourite make up artists – Leena who is a Key Artist for the brand. One of the items I purchased and can’t wait to review because I have so many mixed thoughts about it, is Illamasqua’s Skin Base Foundation (£25): They say: Inspired by the cult Asian market Beauty Balm creams, {Read More}
Tweet Inika Cosmetics has an interesting back story; the founder Miranda Bond struggled with endometriosis and thought shouldn’t wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally. She decided to change things in her lifestyle, like her diet (very important of course) and eliminating products that contain potentially harmful chemicals that can be found in cosmetics. Once she began to detox her life she fell pregnant naturally and eventually Inika was born, a 100% natural beauty brand that is vegan friendly, and free {Read More}
Tweet Diorskin Nude is one of my top 3 foundations (my review here) – it’s glowy and easy to blend, it almost has a paint like texture to it because it dries fairly quickly on the face and leaves this pigmented stain (is that a good description?!) which I like! A lot. I’ve realised that I can’t substitute a long lasting foundation for a glowy one if if the long lasting one makes you look ‘dead’. Anyway I have 3 {Read More}
Tweet As if I need another foundation, right? I couldn’t resist buying the new Bourjois foundation and primer when I spotted them in Boots – they have a deal where you can get both for just £13! (The foundation is £11.99 on it’s own so do the math!). Bourjois Flower Perfection foundation boasts of 16 hours wear, pore and fine line coverage, an even finish, SPF15, with azalea flower extract ‘youth extending’ (I can think of other things I’d rather {Read More}
Tweet It’s always nice to try out a new make up brand, and I was recently sent these new products from Mii to try – Illuminating Face Base and Glamourous Trio Bronzing Face Finish: Mii is a brand that is about ‘having the confidence to be yourself’. There is definitely a clean feeling about the range which I really like, and the actual packaging is in simple black. First off, the Illuminating Face Base…
