Tweet BB creams (Blemish Balms) have been popular in Asia for quite a while, originating from Korea, inspiring releases from Taiwanese and Japanese brands such as Hada Labo. Now other brands have jumped on the bandwagon of a ‘all in one’ skincare and foundation product. BB Creams can cover an array of uses – it varies from product to product, and brand to brand but basically, at a minimum these days, you should expect it to work as a: {Read More}
Tweet Estee Lauder Doublewear foundation seems to have many fans and I recently tried their Doublewear Light foundation, a product which has the long wearing properties of the original but a light, sheer finish. I’ve never tried the original before, although I do prefer a medium coverage base – however, as my skin condition improves a lighter foundation is a good idea. Doublewear light is a 15 hour wear foundation which a natural, fresh finish. It controls oil, it won’t {Read More}
Tweet I love foundation and I love finding a good foundation because when I have smooth, clear, dewy skin, I can live without any other kind of make up. I have quite a big collection of foundations now, and I definitely have different uses for each one depending on the finish I want and how my skin is feeling! Shiseido’s Perfect Refining Foundation SPF15 is the newest (although not new!) base from the range. This is a smooth, light foundation {Read More}
Tweet I have a serious foundation problem. There I said it. I can’t stop hauling foundations; cream, stick, powder, gel… It was MAQUillage’s extremely pretty packaging that made me pay attention to their newest foundation release (and they are always releasing new base products for the different seasons) – Lighting White Powdery UV Foundation. Don’t expect the names of a lot of Japanese beauty products to make perfect sense – sometimes they just don’t. I don’t even like powder foundation! {Read More}
Tweet Today I have for you a very interesting foundation called Smashit from Sweden. You know I love a new foundation to play with and if there’s something unique about the product, even better (plenty more reviews coming up!). NOTE: I will have 2 of these foundations to giveaway, read to the end of the post! This hydrating fluid foundation is 100% Organic and contains sunflower oil and acerola cherry extract, and contains mineral pigments for full coverage finish which {Read More}
Tweet I had my beady eye on the Shu Uemura Goat Hair foundation brush for a long, long time. I finally saw it with a decent discount on eBay and went ahead and purchased the No. 18! This brush is unusual for a foundation brush for so many reasons! It’s a short handle, its a small head, it’s stubby and sort of more of a blusher brush, it has goat hair which is quite rough etc. etc. It’s nothing like {Read More}
Tweet Japanese brands seem to be experimenting more with ‘mineral’ make up and I thought it was rather groovy to see Shisedo’s Integrate brand releasing a liquid mineral foundation! They also do a powder mineral foundation and a mineral base. I’ve tried the powder foundation and found it no different to standard powder foundation in texture. Integrate’s mineral range is curiously called ‘Be happy with the power of Mineral’ (see more silly names here) which may’ve been better named ‘Be {Read More}
Tweet I like a bit of technology with my beauty so I was pretty interested to try out some products from the Per-fekt beauty range! Per-fekt beauty is a innovative beauty range that has added benefits, like being free of wax, talc and mineral oil (where applicable!). I tried out two of their bestsellers, Skin Perfection Gel & Cheek Perfection Gel. The skin perfecter is an unusual skin enhancing product that is an alternative to foundation, primer and colour corrector. {Read More}
