L'Oreal True Match Foundation | REVIEW

Hello all! I have finally finished my assignments for this semester so I’m excited to produce some good blogposts! I decided to start off with a review! Hope you enjoy.

L’Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation Review

This foundation is my favourite ever! First of all, it gives an amazing coverage with is high medium. It covers acne seamlessly and is extremely blendable. The foundation comes in many shades, yet doesn’t have as many in Australia. I am in the shade either Vanilla or Rose Beige.

I have tried many foundations (all drugstore), however, this is the only foundation I’ve ever found that doesn’t have orange tones to it. I usually apply it with a Jessup Flattop Brush (from eBay) which is my favourite way of applying it.

This foundation retails for $29.95 AUD but you will often find it on sale for 30/40% off. This foundation is a drugstore foundation, however in Australia is around the same price as Benefit foundations.

Some foundations can cause pigmentation surrounding acne, however I find this one glides over them smoothly and hides them nicely. I always use a primer underneath and have most recently been using Face of Australia primers.

Overall, I have to say this foundation is definitely worth the money, and worth the try! I’m tempted to do a full makeup routine: products I use! This will definitely be in it!

See you next time xx

L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation | REVIEW

Hello all!

Out of all makeup products, foundations are the most fun to try, as they’re the base for all other makeup, it’s amazing when you find one that works, it’s a dream. I have a lot of foundations (not too many, but more than the average person).

I thought I would begin reviewing my foundations, starting with the L’Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint. I hope you enjoy!

What it claims: A perfectly nude look, a flawless finish without the heavy make-up feel. With its lighter than water formula, Nude Magique Eau de Teint provides undetectable coverage while letting skin breathe for a fresh and flawless complexion. The velvety texture endlessly glides over skin, creating a perfectly natural look without the heavy make-up feel.

My Opinion: although L’Oreal is a drugstore brand, in Australia their products are about the same price as Benefit (online not at David Jones). This foundation is $24.99 RRP which you can find on sale for under $20, which isn’t overly bad. The foundation is packaged in a glass square tub (?) which is on the weighty side. The foundation is watery; you have to make sure to shake it before use. The foundation is super blendable and feels like a satin finish in the skin. Although it probably isn’t, it feels as though it’s letting my skin breathe. It’s extremely buildable, and can be a medium-high coverage. It suggests you tip it out onto your fingers and then swipe across your face but I think it’s better if you pour it out onto a palette. It just gives you more control. It does a fantastic job of covering redness.

I would recommend this foundation to people who want a non-cakey feeling foundation. It’s perfect for everyday wear and I think it would work best on dryer skin.

Covergirl Ready, Set, Gorgeous Foundation + Concealer | FIRST IMPRESSION

Hello! For ages I have heard EleventhGorgeous rave about Covergirl’s new foundation “Ready, Set, Gorgeous!” It has just recently arrived in Australia and, as it was 50% off at Woolworths (and still is as this goes up), I thought I would pick up the foundation and concealer and do a first impression on them both!

Packaging

I personally hate when people talk about the packaging as to me it isn’t that important, but this tube is pretty cute and is perfect for travel! I love it when foundation isn’t in a glass tube as I am so clumsy and will probably drop one, one day.

What It Claims

The Foundation: One simple step for a flawless, natural look that lasts all day. The formula blends easily to even skin tone and reduces shine all day. It is oil free, won’t clog pores, and is suitable for sensitive skin.

The Concealer: Helps conceal dark circles and imperfections in an instant! The lightweight formula glides on smoothly, blends easily, and lasts all day. It is oil free, won’t clog pores, and is dermatologically tested.

My Review

Pls no judging for my non-matching eyebrow face

I picked up the shade 115 Buff Beige in the foundation which perfectly matches my skin tone, it has yellow undertones but isn’t orangey-the perfect shade! It’s in between a thick consistency and a thin consistency-also perfect. The foundation is definitely a medium coverage, and isn’t really buildable to a high coverage. I like this because it feels natural on the skin, still looks like skin but covers my acne well, which is a big thumbs up from me. I applied this with a sponge but I have to say I think it would be amazing applied with an applicator.

The concealer, which I got in the shade “Light, Pale” has a dofer applicator, which is my favourite for concealers. It’s a semi-thick look of a consistency but it is in between, like the foundation. It’s quite light but doesn’t cover huge dark circles, but it does a fair enough job. It blends well into my pimples well too, and covers up the redness of them. It has a natural finish and sinks into the skin a bit.

Overall

I would recommend this foundation as the natural, skin-like finish is perfect for all skin tones. The tube is perfect for travel and for $16.99 AUD RRP I would pick it up! As for the concealer, I would give it a miss as there are much better concealers out there.

Have a great day xx

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse-REVIEW

Today I am going to be reviewing the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse. I picked this up on a sale when it was only $15 AUD. I wanted to try something new and as a random pick-this didn’t disappoint.

The Packaging

I love how it is a pump bottle, most liquid foundations are but some still just have a poorer. With the pump, it is easier to maintain how much you pour out. It is in a glass bottle and has quite a lot of liquid, especially because it is such nice coverage. It has a twistable lid which is great in keeping your foundation

Their Review

On the front, they state that it is “Airbrush Finish”. I do believe it does maintain this-especially if applied well.

My Review

This is my new favourite foundation. Its coverage is great, it lasts almost all day, and it is the right amount of dewy and not at all thick. It is easily bendable and such a good price! I would definitely recommend it to everyone and even though I am aware that everyone has different skin so there isn’t an exact way to know if it’ll be good for you, but for the price-why not try it out?
