Maybelline Super Stay 24h Foundation Review!

Friday, August 31, 2012

RRP £9.19

When I posted my empties post you might have seen that my foundation was in it and I said I would talk about my new foundation very soon. Well here it is. I watched countless top five foundation videos to find one that people loved and that would work for my oily/combo skin. This came up a lot and for £9.19 (random price, I know) I didn't think it was bad value at all.

Another great feature of this foundation and possibly all the Maybelline foundations, I'm not too sure, is that the foundations have the same colours. I used to use Dream Matte Moose and sand was my colour so I picked it up and tried it and it was a perfect match.

Although I enjoyed my Bourjois foundation I found it to be too dewy for my oil skin and ended up piling a lot of powder on top. With the Super Stay foundation I don't have to use a lot of powder. It really suits my oily/combo skin and I really love it. I recommends this to anyone with the same skin as me and I think it has great coverage and perfect for my skin.

P.S The winner of the giveaway hasn't replied to my email if they don't reply by Monday I will draw a new winner!

Simple Moisture Boost Hydro Mist Review!

RRP £5.99Caudalie Beauty Elixir . Having never tried the beauty elixir I have nothing to compare it to, so in hindsight this was a bit of a random purchases. But anyway, I brought it to refresh my face and make up after work.


I brought this a while ago and kept meaning to review it, well better late than never! I brought this a cheap alternative (I'm such an idiot) for

I have to admit spraying yourself in the face isn't the nicest thing in the world, but it doesn't rub off your make up. I find it really refreshing it's perfect after a long day at work or a lazy day out in the sun.
My face feels softer and more hydrated and although simple doesn't use fragrances it kind of smells like old-fashioned face powder, a smell I adore!

I have oily/combo/sensitive skin so I can't use any thing harsh or too natural on my face but this has the perfect balance!

When I go back to Uni. and traveling on the train it's going to be perfect for popping in my handbag and using to refresh my face after a horrendous train journey!
