Foundation, Tinted Moisturiser, BB Cream

Before I get into this post, I just want to apologise for not posting since Wednesday! I've just been busy. But anyway, onto the post! 

I've not done a post dedicated to foundations yet, so I thought it was time to change that! I'm going to show you the foundations, bb creams and tinted moisturisers that I own, and also a little review so you can get a feel for the products! 

Mac Matchmaster Foundation (Shade 1.0)

I've had this foundation for a while. I bought it because I previously used the Pro Longwear and the Studio Fix by Mac and I wanted to try something different as loads of people rave about the Mac foundations like there's no tomorrow! I would say that this foundation is okay, nothing amazing but not complete rubbish! I probably won't buy it again once I've used it all, but I've had my eyes on Mac's Face and Body - if anyone has tried it please let me know your thoughts on it. 

YSL Touche Éclat Foundation (Shade B10)

I think I saw Essiebutton raving about this in one of her videos so I just had to get it! At first I was literally in love with this beauty, but recently I just can't wear it anymore! I have dry skin, and this foundation really clings to my dry areas and makes my face look awful! I'm really trying to make my skin better so that I can continue to wear this but so far nothing it helping! I do really recommend this product though to close with normal skin as it's a beautiful product that leaves you with a natural, dewy finish.

Revlon Colourstay Foundation (Shade 180, Sand Beige)

I recently bought this because I needed to get a darker foundation for Prom as I was wearing fake tan. I have the 'normal/dry skin' one, there's also an 'oily skin' option too. I've been loving wear this foundation when I'm more tanned, and I'll probably buy it in a lighter shade too so I can use it as an everyday foundation. The formula is similar to Mac's Studio Fix Fluid, as it's very thick. Don't be scared though, it blends really nicely and it doesn't look cakey (just aslong as you don't put too much on).

17 Sheer Moisture Foundation (Shade Light)

I usually wear this in the hotter days or if I'm on holiday. For the price (which is cheap) it's actually a really lovely foundation. The coverage is really sheer, but definitely thicker than a tinted moisturiser. If you're looking for a cheap, sheer coverage foundation then try this out. 

Mac Studio Moisture Tint (Light)

The smell of this just reminds me of being on holiday because I bought it just before I went away to Florida a while ago and I used it all holiday. It's a nice tinted moisturiser, but for a tinted moisturiser it's also pretty expensive so I probably won't buy it again. 

Maybeline Dream Fresh BB Cream (In Shade Light)

Wanted to hop onto the BB Cream bandwagon so I got this. It does leave your face with a nice finish but the only issue I have is the shade selection. I have the shade 'light' and it's too dark! If it was a bit lighter I think I'd get more use out of it.

THE BEST OF JUNE

I've grabbed a handful of products to show you that I have been loving this month, so lets get to it...

- I have fallen in love with the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion by The Body Shop. I get really bad redness around my nose (charming) and I thought it was time to fight back! I have noticed a huge difference in my skin, its much clearer and the redness has been greatly reduced. Also, I love the smell and the feel of the product on my face - it tingles!

- I've had the DKNY Be Delicious fresh blossom body lotion for ages now as I got it in a set with the perfume (which I adore). I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and it really is a lovely smelling lotion! I am the worst at explaining scents so I'm not even going to try, but if you love fresh and clean scents then I would definitely recommend giving this a whiff!

- Not sure about everyone else, but personally, I find it extremely hard to find a mascara that won't smudge and make me look like a panda! However...I think I've finally found my perfect mascara. The L'Oreal Volumissime X5 in carbon black has really won me over, completely no smudges and it gives my lashes a really full and lengthening effect. I would highly recommend this beautiful product!

- There are so many people raving about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, so when I was in Boots the other day, I took a gander to the Revlon section and got myself one! I chose the colour 'honey' as I had heard from a beauty guru on YouTube that it was a good dupe for MACs 'plumful'. I wore the Revlon Balm Stain to my sixth form prom a couple of days ago and I really do love it, and it doesn't budge all day! I woke up in the morning (after coming home drunk and removing my makeup) to find that there was still some colour left! Great little beauty to have in your collection

- It is no secret that the Urban Decay Naked palettes are amazing! I am completely in with the hype and have been loving the original Naked palette and also the Naked Basics. The colours are stunning and by far are my favourite eyeshadows.
