Current 3 Highstreet Foundations



Hello beautifuls! Today's post is about my 3 current high street (or drugstore if you prefer!) foundations. These are the only 3 I currently own and I thought I would just share my opinions!

Rimmel London Wake Me Up: I have this in the lightest shade 100-ivory and it's an okay colour match. I think they could do with a lighter shade, but I am just speaking for my ghostly pale self! This does provide a lovely glowy finish, but I have found in some lights my face can look slightly sparkley, but I don't see this very often. It's not a major problem and I know many people have no problems with this, this is just my view after all! This isn't my favourite foundation out the three, but I still quite like it. Currently on offer in Boots for £6.99 (usually £8.99)

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation: Everyone has been raving about this foundation recently, so obviously I had to join the club! I find that if I apply to much, it goes quite streaky and funny on my skin. I can't really describe it, that just doesn't make sense, does it?! I have recently been mixing this foundation with the Rimmel one and I thin they work really well together. The finish of this is very "luminous" as it claims, and it looks very nice on the skin. £10.99 in Boots.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum: This is my favourite out of the 3, and I re-purchased this yesterday after running out of my first bottle. In the picture this one looks slightly darker and thats because I have been using the Garnier Summer Body gradual tan at the minute, and needed a slightly darker foundation. This gives SUCH a lovely finish, dewy and very healthy looking (I feel llike I am just repeating myself, haha). I also love the packaging in the slim glass bottle, and would highly recommend this foundation. £10.99 in Boots.

I have come to the conclusion that I am not very good at describing foudantions! Oh well! So here are my opinions on these highstreet foundations, let me know if you think there are any others I would like!

Lots of love,

Wishlist #1

nice thigs

MAC Studio scult foundation: After reading Kelly's post (love her blog!) I decided I definitely want to try this foundation! I was torn between this and Studio Fix, but I am going to get this one when I go shopping next week, can't wait!

Benefit Hoola Bronzer: I am so desperate to get my hands on this! I love the packaging and really need a decent bronzer, I have heard many good things about this one!

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Butter: You have seen me raving about the body shop body butters in my last post, and I would really love to try this one! I absoloutley love anything which smells lemony, I find it so lovely and refeshing!

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish: I have had this cleanser before and it's much better than any other one I have tried, I really need to get this again as I loved it, but unfortunately Liz Earle isn't easy to get hold of near me and I really don't like paying delivery online,haha! But I will get it some time soon!

Essie Fiji: I have decided I am going to wear this to my school prom, it looks like such a pretty colour!

Recent Beauty Purchases!

Hello! I am currently sat writing this post with one follower, who is one of my best friends and if you do happen to stumble across my new blog then you remember I had a old blog: 95hannaah. I decided to delete that one and start again, so here we go! I am planning on reguarly posting and I am very, very excited! Today I thought I would share a few beauty products I have purchased recently!

Bioderma: I am sure every single person has seen and probably got this baby! I purchased this 500ml bottle from ebay and it cost around £13.50 (including p+p). I would really love to get my hands on the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish to use in conjunction with this, but this is all I have been using at the minute to remove my make-up. I went through a period of time using baby wipes all the time and finally ditched them and I am using Bioderma now, and I LOVE it! It removes every scrap of make-up and it does not have a scent at all, so should be good for all skin types!

Real Techiniques Core Collection: You may notice one brush missing, which is the detailer brush, but I had trouble standing it up for the picture so I had to leave it out! I literally purchased these about 2 days ago but in the time I have been using them, I love them, especially the buffing and contour brush. They are so, so soft and so handy for travelling as you get a little brush holder/stand with them! I had wanted these for so long and finally caved, I got them from Boots for around £22!

The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter: There is not really much to say about this product, apart from I LOVE IT!! The body shop body butters are by the best body moisturisers in my opinion. They are so nourishing and smell fricking amazzzzing! They are quite pricey at £12 but last ages, and you can also get mini sizes of each scent, for around £5!

Benefit Porefessional (sample size): I recently picked up this with Glamour magazine for £2 (which I believe is still on sale!) There were 2 other samples aswell, including the mascara and the That Gal primer. I literally searched in like 10 shops for That Gal, but didnt end up finding it :( So I settled for this, I tried this once before and I am pretty sure it made my face slightly dry, but have been using it again and I dont think its that great. Some people say its a staple in their makeup collection but for me I just dont see great results! 

The Body Shop Face Brush: I have heard quite a few people on youtube mention this £3 mini brush recently, and picked it up. I havent actually used it yet, but apparently its really good at removin dry/flaky skin around the nose! 

So thats all I have to say today, sorry it was a bit rambly! I really am looking forward to getting into blogging again, I really enjoy reading blogs, its one of my fave things to do! :)

Lots of love,
