A face worth a million

This one is new foundation from Bourjois. Actually when I saw it I thought it's going to be a BB cream as it looks like a BB cream but it' a full on foundation. I don't mean full coverage btw.

It gives you antipollution screen, SPF30 and radiance boosting pigments.  

Well I can't speak about antipollution or SPF30 as it is the things we don't see with naked eye but it is lovely on the skin and it has a really nice smell. About those radiance boosting pigments, to me it sounds that it should make you look glowy which it does complete opposite to me. It sets quite matte. 

After I apply my base I usually go and do the eyes. After about 10 minutes after the application this foundation changes into this lovely young and gorgeous skin and it makes me look like 10 year old in terms of skin. I know I am young and I cannot complain but honestly my skin looks like baby skin. Other people might think that it looks like you are wearing loads when in fact you are wearing hardly anything. It photographs beautifully. 

The only down side to this is that has a red undertone which is wrong for me. Here is where baking comes in. If you never seen or heard of baking it is basically when you pat way to much powder to let the liquid products react with the dry products on your warm skin. You would apply a lot of powder and leave it there for about 5 to 10 minutes. I use it on all the points I want to highlight or lift. As the powder is light in colour the under eyes or under the corrector (that's where I use it to really sculpt the face) or on you chin looks so much lighter. Baking also keeps the make up in place for a little bit longer. When the time is up I just use a brush everything off with face. 

I use translucent powder from Marks & Spencer. I got it years ago and I doubt you'll find it as it is limited edition but any powder would do. 

Back to City Radiance, it costs £9.99 and you can find it everywhere. It comes in 6 shades, mine is in 01Ivory Rose. I love the squeezy tube because you can really use up all of your product without any waste. 

If you are looking for something that will change your face completely I really recommend this foundation it is really a game changer. 

Tell me about your foundations and why you like them?

Hydrating concealer

I haven't tried that many concealers in my time. I sound like an old lady. I don't really have a need for them. I don't like my skin to be a complete blank canvas. I do get spots but I am not that put off by them, I just don't care about them. Also the more product you put on spots the more dryer the area is and it just looks gross at the end of the day I think. I am also not that person who likes to touch up either. 

There is a newish range at Bourjois and I wanted to give this a go. On the packaging it promises to correct, illuminate and a 24hour hydration. 

Yes it does all of these things, but in moderation. It has a matte finish and it kind of blocks out all the unnecessary tones. As it is light in colour it does illuminate and it does hydrate your skin. 

When you put it on it feels very light and comfortable on your skin especially under your eyes. 

However, it creases so much. It doesn't matter if you bake or set it or leave it be it will always crease. 

Again I do not opt for a perfect canvas make up look so as long as it feels amazing on my skin I like it. 

It smells so nice, which I like. I love nice smelling the products. 

The colour I have is 01Ivory and I think it is perfect on me. It costs £7.99 and it comes in three colours. 

You can find it everywhere. It comes in super fancy tube that is half matte and the lid is silver. 

It has a lipgloss like applicator. 

If you are like me and don't really mind if your make up is creased I recommend this. It is super hydrating and nice on your skin and it makes you concealed parts look nice too. 

What are your go to concealers?

Lipsticks

Red and dirty pink lips 

As you can see both these lipsticks are dearly love by me. They both are 12 hours stay from Bourjois although if I had to comment on how long they stayed I wouldn't say 12 hour. However, when you eat the middle area of your lips tends to disappear and outline remains which is very easy to just reapply after a meal. If you are on the date it might look a little bit silly so have that in mind (because we want only the best impressions on the dates). 

The horizontal lipstick, which is like a dirty dark pink colour, is in number 30. I really really like this one when I just want something on my lips but have no idea what to wear. It goes well with everything and it really works very well of your natural lip flesh colour. The colour is visible but not bright and out there. If you are not comfortable with bright lipsticks but you want some pop of colour on your lips I highly recommend this one. 

The vertical lipstick is a beautiful red in number 34. This is my favorite red out of all that I own. I always opt for this one as it really complements my skin colour. It is literally red, no yellows or pinks or oranges just plain red. It is not too light nor too dark it is just perfect. 

These lipsticks have like a velvety finish, they are more matte but not quite and are not glossy at all but they are very moisturizing. My lips are never dry and I just love these lipsticks.
