The Perfect High Street/ Drug Store Foundation? ♡

So as most of you probably know, L'Oréal has quite a few brands under its group such as YSL and Giorgio Armani, but somehow it still amazes me when L'Oréal Paris release something as amazing as this foundation! 

I have been using this foundation for a good month now in conjunction with the L'Oréal Infallible Primer - which you can read about here and like most other people who have tried this is has soon become my favourite everyday foundation. 

The formula is light on the face but still has a medium to high coverage, and easily covers up little imperfections. It blends super easily and i have had quite a lot of compliments saying how nice my skin looks! 

The formula is Matte, but its not super matte, it still allows the skins natural glow to shine through a little and it doesn't dry my skin out at all and i tend to suffer from dry patches around my nose and forehead. The consistency of the foundation is more toward the thicker end of scale but i have found that its not cakey in the slightest - even with my pores! 

The shade i picked up matches me perfectly - i have relatively pale skin with pinky undertones and Natural Rose is ideal! The only downside i can see to this foundation is that at the moment it is only available in 6 shades which is a bit of a bummer and the shade look like they are more suited to pale and medium skin tones, so if you are rocking a tan or have dark skin, you may find it hard to find a shade to match up with!

In The VIP With The Movie Stars - L'Oréal Color Riche Lipstick - VIP ♡

Since buying this lipstick a few weeks ago it has fast become one of my favourites. Its a perfect matte lipstick and what makes this super special is that the formula is really creamy and not drying in the slightest. 

The is a perfect red toned coral, which makes it perfect for the upcoming months. Like i said the formula of this lipstick is super creamy which means it glides onto the lips like a dream without any dragging and the colour pay off, i mean wow these lipsticks are super pigmented and the colour is really buildable.

The colour is really long lasting and doesn't transfer when eating or drinking - which is always a winner in my eyes! 

I adore this lipstick and there are so many other shades in the range that very from pinks to nudes to bright reds. They also have some shades in a satin finish if you are not a fan of matte. I will definitely be picking more of these lipsticks they are amazing!

Have you tried any of the Color Riche Lipsticks yet? What shades do you recommend?

L'Oréal Infaillible Mattifying Primer ❤

 I have been using this base now for about a month to get a really good feel for it, sometimes you can use a product the first few times and love it, but after a few week it decides to break you out and play havoc with your skin! Well thankfully this product has been brilliant for me.

The silicon based primer is smooths onto the skin and makes applying foundation a dream. The formula is mattifying, so if you are someone who struggles with too much shine then this would be prefect. I have normal skin with dry patches and this smooths over effortlessly and doesn't cling to any dry patches.

A little really does do the trick and it doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy.

Like most primers it is supposed to smooth out pores and lines, honestly i didn't notice my pores being reduced at all but it is amazing for keeping makeup put all day long.

I really would recommend this primer to any one and everyone. Its a super cheap primer that keeps excess shine at bay and keeps foundation looking fresh all day!

L'Oréal Youth Code

So i ran out of my usual day cream a while back and have just been using my night cream as a substitute until i had finally got around to picking something new up. 

I decided to get this - L'Oréal Youth Code. Which is primarily aimed at people aged 30-40 but what better time to start looking after your skin properly than now? 

I love a moisturiser that is thick in consistency, doesn't have a scent that is too strong and something that really helps my skin look and feel better. This ticks all them boxes for me! The consistency is almost gel like that is super easy to work into the skin, the scent is your typical L'Oréal scent, perfumed but not over powering and it doesn't linger for a long time. 

Then theres the result.. When i apply my foundation you can usually see a little dryness on my forehead, this hasn't made it completely go yet but its getting there, it looks so much better and my skin feel moisturised all day. 

It makes my skin look so much more healthier and luminous.

I would consider this to be middle of the road in terms of price, its currently on offer at Boots for £10.50 with its usual price at £15.75  

What is you current favourite daytime moisturiser?
