Hey Beauties!!
I thought i would do a blog on Foundations today!

I will talk about my Favourites and what i like about them and what skin type advantages and disadvantages etc

• MAC Face and Body Foundation- (My Foundation,C3) (Liquid)- I found this foundation to be really good for the summer its awesome, its better than a tinted moisturiser i personally think its water based but gives a sheer coverage enough to cover red-ness and give you a really nice glow to your skin without feeling wet, steaky or icky (haha). You get 12ML or 4.0 Fl Oz for £23.50 or $32.50

• Illamasqua Rich Liquid- (My Foundation, RF100, RF210) (Liquid) - This is a good foundation aswell its really thick and you only need a tiny pea sized amount as it is a full...MAXIMUM coverage and im not joking its like a new layer of skin. It comes in 17 different shades from Pure White to Dark Chocolate Colour. I would say you shouldnt use this if you have dry skin because it really makes the dry-ness on your skin stand out alot and its not a good look so only wear this if you have oily or combination skin but moisturise really well. Cost- £21.50 or $34.40

• The Body Shop Moisture Foundation SPF 15 (My Foundation,3,5,6) (Liquid) - These foundations are quite thin and as the name says they moisturise the skin whilst they are on so you dont dry out, these would be good for people with dry skin and this is a Medium Coverage. These have SPF in them as well so it would be good for summer time as you will be going out in the sun.  I like this because it goes on really well and blends in really well i always use some powder on top just for a bit of extra coverage just buffed in with a Kabuki and it gives a really flawless look. These foundations come in 8 Different shades. Costs - £13 or $20.80

I love face products as they as they shape or add colour and luminance which we all love even if you love the Pale 1920's look or your a Bronzed Goddess.
My Favorites range from drug store to highend! (In no order)

• Benefit Perfect 10- This is a Bronzer and Highlighter in one which might sound weird but it smells amazing!! ((what is it with me smelling makeup haha)) You get a really nice pinky highlighter that looks to have some golden undertones which is really nice i love this because it really does highlight the cheeks nicely. The Bronzer side is really nice aswell because it is shimmery but not glittery, its really soft smooth and silky it has some golden and bronze undertones in it. The thing with the "Perfect 10" is that it can be used with the soft brush supplied and swept in the powder to put both on at once 

• Illamasqua Powdered Metal in Thalia - This is really a powder but i think it looks really nice once you have put Bronzer on and this goes over the top i like it to give a shimmery contour aswell ((even though Contour is supposed to be Matte, when do i follow rules?))  This is really amazing because it doesnt glitter, it sort of glistens, i dont really know how to describe its beauty its weird but so pretty

• Illamasqua Bronzer in Writhe- I again love this bronzer as it is again ...shiney? gives a really nice glow but when you buff it is it just looks like a really nice soft silky almost matte brown amazing! this is my go to Bronzer as well as Hex Medium Pencil (Yes i use a liner to contour haha) I use the Illamasqua Contour Brush for this! If i could recommend any of the Bronzers get one from Illamasqua! i also love it because it has the Illamasqua Symbol pressed into the Powder

• Illamasqua Powder Blusher(Multiple ones)- I have 3 different Powder Blushes from Illamasqua, These blushes are fantastic, they are super pigmented more so than MAC. One tap of these blushes and sometimes thats to much these will last you for months and months i can promise you that.
• Lover- is a a salmon-y peachy colour which looks really nice on olive skin tones and lighter pale skin tones 

• Hussy- is a Bright Candy Peach which looks amazing on pale and darker tones but again this is really pigmented so a light hand is needed!

• Intrigue - is a Matte White Highlighter but can be used as a blush for artistic looks, i love this as it is amazing as just a block white highlight i find this would be good for drag as it has no shimmer so pictures would be perfect in saying that would be amazing for photography aswell

• Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Laid- is a Bright Rose Pink with a Dewy Finish. I have to admit i haven't used this much because i like using Hussy or Lover but i have tried it and if you thought the Powder Blusher was pigmented you haven't tried these they are so creamy and long lasting, they arnt oily at all i love how smooth they feel. They would be really good for older skin as they wont skin into wrinkles or pores as a powder would most likely do

• Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Grope ((i know!!, but its a good highlight for lighter skin -Matte-))- I love this because its a really nice colour and goes on my skin really nice if i dont want a white highlight i will put this one and it gives a more natural highlight as its practically skin toned ((i think it has been discontinued))
• W7 Bronze Shimmer- I like this because its a really nice bronzer its quite similar to Writhe (a bit darker and less glow-y) But it is really soft and goes on well and doesnt cake up 

It isnt really that dark, i think its just the picture

Hey Beauties!

I love Liners, they are amazing well the idea of them are something they arnt as good as you would hope. Im going to talk about my favourite liners and why i like them!

Hey Beauties!

MAC has recently brought out a collection called "Sized to go" which is actually such a rip off! i wouldn't advise you to buy it.((you can buy the empty MAC Containers and fill them up with the full sized product!))

In this collection:

MAC Sized to Go FIX + $10
MAC Sized to Go CLEANSE OFF OIL/TRANQUIL $10
MAC Sized to Go CLEANSE OFF OIL $10
MAC Sized to Go PRO EYE MAKEUP REMOVER $10
MAC Sized to Go DEMI-WIPES $15
MAC Sized to Go OIL CONTROL LOTION $15
MAC Sized to Go GREEN GEL CLEANSER $10
MAC Sized to Go STROBE CREAM $15
MAC Sized to Go STUDIO MOISTURE CREAM $15


The average volume of these products for the liquids is 100ml or 3.4 Fl Oz, in this Sized to go collections you are getting 30ml or 1.0Fl Oz So think about it. If you were to buy 1 of the regular sized products 
you could save a dollar but you loose 40ml or 1.4 Fl Oz of product!

30ml or 1.0 Fl OZ = $10 so 2 of those would be $20 but you would get only 60ml so your loosing out! and paying more.
Instead of buying the smaller bottle, buy the bigger one as you get more for your money but if you want it for convenience just put it in a smaller container 

DONT BE RIPPED OFF !

Hey Beauties!
I thought i would do a blog today or tonight, about face primers ill list some amazing primers i find work amazingly some will be Drug Store or affordable primers and then 2 of my favourite high end Primers
First- Why do we use Primers?
We use primers because it helps to give our faces a soft, smooth palette to start applying our foundation.
There are different kinds of primers- such as ones for dry skin, matte skin, to help moisturise, colour correct (Smashbox Primers) and some to help give a glow to the skin. They are also used to help the foundation last longer and to stop it from caking up during the day

Ill start with my favourite affordable primer which are the Body Shop Primers there are 2 different primers

• The Body Shop Skin Primer- Matte it
• The Body Shop Skin Primer- Moisturise it

"Best if you want to: Create a perfect canvas for building a natural makeup look with a skin caring primer that creates a smooth and invisible layer to prepare the skin before the application of foundation, and helps makeup stay in place for longer."

Now i said i would review my 2 favourite high end primers which are :
