Foundation Reviews (Quick and easy references.)


Ever found yourself wanting a quick honest summary of a foundation when u need to buy a new one A.S.A.P. I need to all the time but always get huge reviews that i cant get through quick enough or tutorials that show how it looks on that persons skin not yours, which could be totally different. i find looking at quick reviews and trying it out for yourself is best. So i decided to be basic and quick with my reviews in order to get the basics and then you try it out for yourself!

 First up Olay Total effects Touch of foundation now i got this in Superdrug sale after Christmas when it was part of a set with a maxfactor mascara but you can buy this on its own ranging from  £15+ in superdrug slightly more expensive in boots.
This tinted moisturiser comes in a variety of shades and are exactly what you want in the summer or as i do sometimes put a little on my face as a base under my foundation.
It is really a lovely product, its quite a thick consistency with plenty of coverage really for a tinted moisturiser, perfect for dry skin and good for oily skin as it isn't overally moisturising yet is enough for dry skin and not full of oils and is good quality moisturiser for oily /combination skin.
it is also lovely on it own and under foundation as it absorbs powder well and stays put quite a few hours not major amount of hours but enough for a tinted moisturiser I cannot wait to try it in the summer with some bronzer to accentuate the glow it gives of from the nourishing moisturiser. Really a lovely product.

Secondly is Rimmels Match Perfection Foundation ranging from £6+ i apply this sometimes with a standard foundation brush yet find it does need a lot of buffing into the skin so would advise either using clean hands a brush or stippling brush to apply it, it matches quite well to my skin colour once applied and is quite nourishing on par with healthy mix by Bourjois. it has got a strange smell to it but if you get past that its is a nice affordable foundation with light to medium coverage and is great for dry skin. not sure if oily skin would be compatible with this due to its liquid consistency and nourishing formula though so i wouldn't go for this really for super oily skin.
Lastly is Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation i received 2 sample sizes of this foundation in 2 magazines and thought i may as well try it. now with samples they are never the shade of colour  you want so mine was a touch on the dark side, but after looking at the other shades i saw they had a relatively good shade choices. It wasn't anything different to be honest it was quite Dewey and nourishing and did brighten the face in a way. it was a good consistency and gave good medium coverage. it ranges from £8.99 which is quite a good price yet hasn't turned me away from other foundations. yet i would consider purchasing it for a good coverage affordable foundation and I'm sure would look lovely in the summer as it brighten and wakes up the face so in summer would look really healthy and glowing on the skin.

Chanel Foundation Review

OK so this review didn't go as planned, it was only 1 sample that i manage to get 2 wears out of, i received it in Glamour magazine this month and though i would review it, however in all the busyness there was a little bit ago i forgot to take a photo of what it looked like on. I apologise now, so i will just tell you about it!
(Also the photos rubbish because its of the used sample!)

Chanel Perfection Lumiere
What They Say: (Taken form Boots.com) "controls every detail of a perfect complexion to offer a tailor-made result, a model of perfection"
Its light, fluid texture glides on seamlessly with adjustable yet lightweight coverage for perfect results. The skin-embracing texture becomes one with the face, following its every movement. Its Perfect Skin Affinity complex ensures a second-skin effect and perfect foundation hold for 15 hours.



What I Say: Don't get me wrong it was a nice foundation, great coverage, covered redness and blemishes well. It's a light Concistancy and glides on lovely, it feels nice on as well quite hydrating and not cakey. However when i think of it compared to others and the price of an actual bottle. I would rather go for another product such as Bourjois Healthy mix foundation which i think are on par with each other and quite similar in what they are trying to achieve, i just cannot bring myself to think to pay £36.00 for this product. But please try get a sample and try it yourself as this is my opinion and i am quite fussy!
