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!

What They Say

This foundation has a new tri-blend formula made up of 3 elements, Primer to hold, Concealer to correct and Foundation to finish. It is flexible and breathable, ensuring a matte look that lasts all day. 

The foundation primes the skin with a flexi-hold technology that creates a flexible film to provide lasting coverage. Next, the formula's Micro-Correctors provide coverage over imperfections. They absorb oil and sebum, without drying out the skin. Lastly, the foundation with SPF20 delivers an all-day high coverage matte finish. 

What I Say

I had high expectations for this foundation and I must say that it certainly delivered!

I applied this with a foundation brush and a little certainly went a long way. Seeing as this foundation has a built in concealer, I didn't use my usual concealer to see if this foundation really works. I was more than happy with the result, it applied well and felt silky on the skin and certainly did a good job at covering up my dark circles. It does provide a good medium coverage and didn't feel cakey at all on my skin. It does give quite a matte finish, so if you have naturally dry skin, I would definitely recommend using a good quality moisturiser before applying the foundation. It lasted all day on my skin and gave a beautiful natural look. I recommend that you guys try it :)

The Max Factor FaceFinity All Day Flawless 3-In-1 Foundation is available nationwide and costs €14.99. 

Available in 6 shades with an SPF20, it is oil-free, dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin.

The Shade ''Nautical''

The Shade ''Jewel''

The Shade ''Stardust''

The Shade '' Luna''

What They Say

This is an eclectic yet essential mix of both everyday classic colour eyeshadow along with fashion inspired, intense hues. 

''Luna''- A classic white shimmer. Partner with a darker hue to create the perfect smokey look.

''Stardust'' - A classic shade. A perfect base shade as well as an eye highlighter.

''Jewel'' - The deep emerald green shade has golden undertones making it a lovely twist on a smokey charcoal.

''Nautical'' - Inspired by the nautical look. This matte, navy shade is perfect to create a bold, sleek look.

What I Say

I was impressed with the quality of these shadows. I like how they have made the solo shadows more wearable with shades like Luna and Stardust (perfect highlighting colours). But they have also been bold and incorporated striking shades and the shade Jewel couldn't be more perfect for A/W!

The Shade ''Humbug''

The Shade ''Goddess''

What They Say

This collection is specially designed to enhance beauty and create depth. Made up of 3 blendable shades, each colour is carefully selected to compliment the other.

''Goddess'' - Stunning mix of greens and beige and will give you that air of Grecian Goddess.

''Humbug'' - A contouring collection of charcoals and white. Perfect for a smokey look.

''Safari'' - A collection of gorgeous bronze and browns for a gorgeous yet natural look.

''Stonewashed'' - Inspired by stonewashed jeans, this is the must have shade for the upcoming season.

What I Say

I love that Miners have also decided to bring out a trio collection, so handy to pop into your make up bag! The shades have all been brilliantly selected to compliment each other and I love the choice of looks these shadows offer. My favourite has to be the ''Safari'' trio, so warm and it really reminds me of autumn :)

Whether you want a natural look or a striking smokey eye, these shadows do the job a treat!

The Solo Shadows are £3.49 each.

The Trio Shadows are £3.99 each.

This gives such a flawless finish and after setting it with some powder, I can barely see any pores. Although I am nervous about it being drying on my skin, (it gives a more matt finish), I also feel this gives a nice incentive to keep up with my moisturising routine :) Also, a little of this foundation goes a long way....you have been warned! I apply mine with my fingers but plan to invest in a foundation brush as I can't find my Elf powder brush (starts bursting into tears).....

So I hope this post was helpful and leave any questions below!
