Product Review BOURJOIS PARIS

Hello, Everyone :)
Another day another another 2 products to review. Today is the turn of Bourjois Paris Healthy range. There is the Healthy Mix serum Gel foundation and the healthy balance Unifying powder.

I will start with the powder as I've had a chance to test this one out a lot more. Since I ran out of my usual Rimmel Stay Matte powder I have been using this to set my make up since I got it. 

The healthy balance unifying powder is said to give you 10 hours of MATT finish and NATURAL HEALTHY GLOW. And as much as I'd love to find a powder that keeps my oily skin dry for 10 hours in a row I have yet to find one. But this powder is awesome and And here is what I think.

It is definitely more loose. It's still a compact powder don't get me wrong, but it's not as dense as the Rimmel one so I feel like there is more product waste as it powders everywhere when I put my brush in it. But on the skin I feel like it's much more natural looking and less cakey. It sets my foundation perfectly and it smells really nice on top of everything. So I FEEL like this is my new go to powder. And I got it in the shade 52 Vanilla

The Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation says to give you 16 hours of radiance boosting even, revived complexion and it is a light coverage foundation which is why I got it in the shade 58 Dark Bronze. I figured a nice glowy and light foundation is exactly something I would need for my  sun holiday next week. I have tried it on, but there will be no picture as it really does not match my skin tone at the moment :D But it feels light and not cakey at all. It blends really well and again it has a warm undertone rather than a pink one, which will suit my skin perfectly with a tan :) I haven't tested the 16 hour stay claim, as I am usually not even awake for that long let alone wear make up :D

I won't be using it during the day in the sun, because I just think wearing make up by the pool or on the beach is a bit silly, but I will be evening out my skintone for those lovely warm weather dinners. I will update on this foundation during the holiday. So if you are interested to find out how it stays on and lasts and feels follow me on Instagram, as I'm more likely to just do a little make up of the night kind of picture/update. :)

Hope you enjoyed this product review post :)

Product Review L'OREAL PARIS

Hello Everyone :)

Day 3 of Beauty Week and for today I have tried out 2 products for you and for me :D This going to be a really positive review because I'm so impressed. The products I'm talking about are the L'oreal Paris new True Match foundation and L'oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire liquid lipsticks.

I have used the old formula true match before, but I wanted to see if this is any better. And I actually don't think the last one was bad at all, but they have clearly made this one even better and I LOVE IT. I got mine in the shade 3.D Golden Beige and although it is a bit dark for me it is just the right amount of yellow rather than pink that it doesn't bother me at all. And once I blend it on my neck as well, you honestly can't tell it's a shade too dark. The formula of this foundation is super blendable and it stays on in this smooth silky layer and looks flawless. I have taken the picture below without flash by the window and just to show how even it is I haven't edited the picture. I have set the foundation with clear powder.

It photographs really well with and without flash so perfect for a night out :D I have been using it for a few days now and because I do have oily skin it does get a bit shiny after a few hours, but it's nothing a little plotting paper or powder can't fix. But it is definitely medium to full coverage foundation. Absolutely the best foundation I've tried recently...and when I say recently I mean this year :D

Top -  L'oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in colour 500 MOLTO MAUVE and 

Below - 600 NUDE VIBRATO

Although they advertise this as a liquid lipstick I think it's more in the moisturising gloss section. But I love this gloss. It's so moisturising and it stays on for so long...even after having food and coffee. I do prefer the mauve color more, but that's not saying I don't like the nude. It's just my preference. But I can't rate these glosses enough. Definitely a favourite everyday lip product and so good for those cold days that make your lips crack .

Hope you enjoyed this little product reiew. I will be doing another one tomorrow so

As always, Stay tuned :)
