No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation Review

!!!NEW FOUNDATION ALERT!!!!

About a month ago I picked up a new foundation, I just wanted a high street one as I would be wearing it for work. So I popped in my local Boots to see what they had and I don't know if it's just me but trying to get a foundation to match is such a nightmare I even had my mum with me and we just couldn't decide but to my rescue a lady from the No7 counter came over and offered to help me find a foundation.

The way No7 match you with foundations and even lipsticks is they have this little device and they hold it against your jaw line and it finds your shade. Of course they ask what your skin type is as well so they get the right one as well. I was matched with the HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation in shade Calico. This particular foundation has a blend of anti oxidants including vitamin A, C and E mixed with grapeseed oil to keep your skin moisturised. She applied it to one side of my face so I could see the difference. Well I was literally like this is exactly what I want!! I want coverage to get hide spots and scars but not too much that you cannot see my freckles. It was just yes! So of course I had to buy it. She didn't let me leave the shop with only half a face done, which some make up artists do, she done the other side as well.

Fenty Beauty

So a few weeks ago me and one of the girls I work with decided to take a drive to London visit Harvey Nichols to get the highly raved about Fenty Beauty foundation. I know I'm late purchasing it but I think that's a good thing as I wanted to wait for the hype to die down a bit and not be so manic when I go.

We met up with one of my other friends when we got to London and all made our way to Knightsbridge tube station. As soon as we came out of the station we were directly at the entrance but to my surprise there was a Fenty Beauty queue. It was over heard that there has been a queue all day every day since it launched!.We waited around 45 minutes I believe, it felt like it was forever, luckily it wasn't cold! As there was a queue only 1 to 2 people could get seen at a time but we made sure we all got seen together so we could all make sure we got our correct colour.

Mac's Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

So I've had my eye on Mac's Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, it's actually been sat in my safari list on my phone so I didn't forget which one I had been looking at. It's a powder and foundation in one with medium to full coverage, now I'm not sure if this is just me but I don't see how a powder has a full coverage, maybe it depends on how you apply it? I'm not sure but I was intrigued to try this as it's described as a foundation I thought this could be ideal on the days where I don't wanted to wear a liquid foundation but I still want something on my face.

Anywhooo I went into Mac last week and I got matched up with NW25 which is actually darker than the Mineralize powder I have in light plus, I slyly think it wasn't right for me from the start but I do use it. It was applied with the 135 large flat powder brush and when I looked in the mirror I could see it immediately went matte and the colour was just exactly what I wanted, not too pale and not too dark.

Beauty buys of June

Hello Darling's

Throughout June I have been shopping a little more only purely because I need to update my wardrobe as summer is very closely approaching. With that in mind I thought I'm going to have to update/renew my beauty products (ie make up, fragance etc). A friend of mine recommended I visit the No7 counter in Boots as I had mentioned that I wanted a new foundation and as they do the Match Made Service. I have oily combination skin and was looking for something that will give me coverage but not too much and too heavy on my skin, the lady advised to try the No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation. She applied the Cool Beige and I loved it! the coverage it gave without looking too much and fake. I got a new Foundation brush, from No7 as well but as I bought two items from No7 I got a free gift, which was a set of miniatures, inside was a mascara, BB lips, nail varnish and a eye shadow, perfect on the go. Everytime I paint my nails I never know which one to choose, so far I've added Barry M Gelly High Shine in Passion Fruit, its such a vibrant colour and Essie in Not Just A Pretty Face which is a pretty colour, to the collection. Both are quick drying which is a must to me these days. I've read in a few different places over time that lip scrubs are good obviously for getting rid of dry skin which I notice more when I apply lipstick. The only place I have seen them is in Lush, I thought I'd give it a try so I got the Bubblegum one, it smells 'Lush' and its edible too!! And a little charity hand/body cream pot. My trip earlier this month to London doing some light shopping included going to Victoria Secrets to stock up on some of of their body mist/sprays my two favourite have to have are the Amber Romance and Pure Seduction (I've had many compliments! but I found another one Sensual Blush. They all smell amazing, so if you get a chance pop in! I think thats all I bought .... for now (hehe!)
