XxxLoveIsBeautyxxX: Make Up | Your Blog Description

Hey Beauties!

Of all my make up pieces, I would have to say that I'm a total foundation collector/hoarder deep down.

I'm pretty much a fan of all finishes and love to rock everything from a dewy look to matte, depending on the occasion.

L'oreal are one of my favourite make up brands and I have pretty much all of their foundations so when I heard they released a new one...you can imagine my excitement!

Read on to hear my thoughts!

What They Say

This foundation delivers a matte result that last up to 24 hours and is also clinically proven to be waterproof and steam-proof.

Easy to apply, it is enriched with perlite technology and reduces the appearance of shine so that you can have all the coverage with none of the shine!

What I Say

I love the packaging of this, the squeezy tube is perfect for travelling and popping in your handbag and the little nozzle is great for controlling the amount of product you get out.

I chose the shade Honey, which is the darkest shade so hopefully they will add more shades for people but it's a good match for me when I'm tanned.

The texture isn't too thick at all and I found it easy to blend out with my buffing brush.

It dries down to a matte finish and the coverage is great, easy to build up the layers and it really does look flawless.

It is important to have a good moisturiser on underneath though as matte foundations will stick to dry patches and really highlight them so I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry/very dry skin.

Combination/oily skinned girls will love this though, it's really long-lasting and just a great all rounder in my opinion.

If you do have dry skin, then maybe you could try use this product in conjunction with a more hydrating primer.

I definitely recommend that you guys check this out the next time you're make up shopping!

Hey Beauties!

Foundation is something that I genuinely love and collecting them is somewhat of a hobby at this stage.

I really don't feel awake without a pump or two of foundation and love how you can pick up different finishes to suit your mood.

Some foundations enjoy a cult status and are touted as must-haves and the True Match Foundation from L'oreal is definitely one of them.

I recently picked up a bottle when I was in Boots (along with lots of other bits!) so read on to see whether this baby lived up to the hype!

What They Say

Available in 20 shades covering all skin tones, this super blendable foundation perfectly matches the colour and texture of your skin.

It promises to hide imperfections with it's creamy texture resulting in a flawless coverage!

What I Say

I love the packaging of this foundation, a glass bottle with a pump applicator and lid, pretty much the dream drugstore packaging am I right?!

There is a great shade range with this product especially considering that it's a more affordable price range so I went for N4 Beige to match my fake tan.

This foundation has been hailed as a dupe for the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation so it's a great pick for those that can't afford the higher-end option.

I found this to be a great medium to full coverage foundation that is easily buildable and not heavy on the skin at all.

I like that it's not a thick formula so still feels light on the skin despite the coverage it gives and it blends easily with my flat top kabuki brush.

The finish is somewhat satin, not too matte that you look dead and not shiny at all so a great all round product that is also long-lasting.

I do think it's suitable for all skin types, however if you have quite dry skin then I would recommend just using a good moisturizer underneath.

All in all, I love this foundation for the days where I want a good coverage and for my makeup to last throughout the day.

Hey Beauties!

Mascara is one product that I use everyday and I really don't feel ready or even awake without a few slicks on top of my tired lashes.

Max Factor mascaras are something that get slightly overlooked in my opinion, with more attention seemingly being given to brands like Maybelline.

Max Factor have released quite a few products lately and I have been enjoying trying them out, none more so than their *Masterpiece Transform Mascara*.

Read on to see what I thought!

What They Say

This revolutionary new mascara instantly creates darker, bigger and more dramatic lashes thanks to the new instant impact wand.

This small brush captures and volumises every lash effortlessly, with rows of rotating bristles ensuring that every lash is brushed through, captured and coated.

This all results in thicker and fuller lashes!

What I Say

I like the packaging of this mascara, the black and gold colours give a certain luxe feel which I love.

This mascara has a plastic bristle wand that is really flexible so does a good job of getting into those inner corners, making for a more even application.

I found that this product gave my lashes lots of volume without clumping or going spidery on me and also gave some length so it makes a good day to night mascara in my opinion.

At the end of the day, this mascara was easy enough to remove with my usual micellar water and didn't crumble or flake onto my face during the day which is certainly a plus.

Having said that, if you like to layer your mascara or prefer a more defined and separated lash look then this wouldn't really be for you.

So I would recommend this mascara but only to those that want a fuss-free mascara that applies in only one coat to give volumised lashes mainly.

Check it out guys!
