l'oreal true match foundation.

I bought this foundation a few weeks ago and have been using it daily so I felt like it was time to do a review. I actually purchased this after hearing Victoria from inthefrow talk about it on one of her videos, she always makes really good recommendations so I know it would be a good foundation, unfortunately I wasn't able to do a match test so I looked through the various different shades and decided to go for 'C3 Rose Beige' which was the closest to my skin tone.

I always apply my foundation by putting it on to the back of my hand and then using a brush, the first thing I noticed was that it came out very runny, I was a bit worried that this would mean it didn't apply as well and would look thin and patchy but once it goes on the skin it is really thick and gives great coverage. It adds a little bit of moisture too but it takes seconds to sink in so it looks natural, doesn't leave a shine and because it is so light you almost forget you have it on!

It is my main foundation at the moment and I love using it, I would highly recommend it but there are a lot of shades to choose from so if you can, get a match test done first!

makeup is my saviour.

As I’m new to this blogging stuff I thought I’d go for a topic that a lot of people do in blogs: ‘what’s in my makeup bag’, because every girl has a secret passion for makeup. I’m going to go through just the products that I use on a day-to-day basis, because if I did all my makeup this post would go on for days! Unfortunately I am one of those people who needs a bit of foundation and mascara to look like a normal human so I do have a lot of enthusiasm when it comes to my makeup bag :)

First I like to start with the ‘porefessional’ primer from Benefit beauty. I use a lot of Benefit beauty products because I have found that they are a pretty standard price, as far as makeup goes, but such good quality! The ‘porefessional’ primer is one of the softest primers I have ever used; it literally feels like rubbing silk on your face it also has a very slight tint which means it is brilliant to use to add a subtle bit of colour. I suffer with a bit of dry skin but since using this product it has got a million times better and means that all my other facial products settle really nicely on my skin.
