WELCOME BACK loves! It feels good to sit back and give you guys a review on a current foundation I've been wearing! I'm always on the hunt for the perfect foundation best suited to my skin type which is combination/oily. Previously you guys have seen how much I adore the L'Oreal True Match foundation but I think I've found a new love for L'Oreal's new line of foundation - Infallible 24H.

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE 24H FOUNDATION // REVIEW

Hi guys, back to do another review on the Maybelline Fit Me Stick Foundation which has been talked about all over YouTube and the blogosphere. This product recently hit shelves in Priceline roughly, a week and a half to two weeks ago I believe and when I picked mine up, it wasn't even on the shelves yet! It retails for $15.95 but I bought mine on sale for $13.55 when Priceline was having 15% off Maybelline products.

Benefit Cosmetics has came up with a custom makeup kit system which is exclusive to their website! Basically they offer you a variety of items ranging from face to cheek to eye products plus a free gift and you can choose one item from each category. It retails for $79 dollars which I think is an amazing price for a variety of products.
I chose the Some-Kind-Of-Gorgeous foundation in Medium, Fake Up Creaseless Concealer in Medium, boxed powder blush in Rockateur and a Hydra-Smooth Lip Colour in Air Kiss. It also comes with the free makeup bag (which I adore) and also you can choose 2 samples (such as, Stay Don't Stray, POREfessional etc.)
I first used the Some-Kind-Of-Gorgeous foundation when I purchased my 'Primping with the Stars' kit which you can read my review here. I really love this foundation because it's easy to apply, creates a flawless canvas, semi-matte finish, blendable and buildable. I can't wait to try out this product with my new Beauty Blender! If you guys are looking for something lightweight with coverage, I recommend this product instead of the Hello Flawless Oxygen foundation.
I've never tried nor tested this product in stores but from reading reviews and watching YouTuber's talk about this product, I was interested in picking up this concealer for my under eye area which can sometimes get dry. I can't say much about it now because I haven't tried it yet but if you guys want a review on it then I will gladly do one for you guys! And by the way, the packaging is superb!
You guys .. I have wanted the Dandelion boxed blush but when I found out that they offered the Rockateur blush in this kit, I had to get it straight away! At first glance, it's a beautiful deep rose blush with gold shimmer and it appears like that when swatched as well. I loved the embossed design in the blush, it adds so much character but the problem is, I don't wanna touch it because it will get ruined! Another plus is that it smells like roses, I love Benefit's blush scents. If you guys haven't smelt it, I suggest you go and smell it now!
Last but not least is the Hydra-Smooth Lip Colour in Air Kiss which is a beautiful rosy pink lip balm (in my opinion it feels like a lip balm). I'm loving this colour, it suits my skin tone and it's wearable for everyday. I also love the packaging for this product as well, it's innovative, fun and cute which is my style!
That's the end of my post my lovelies! I hope you enjoyed reading and got a little more insight on the Custom Makeup Kit from Benefit. I've been eyeing it for awhile and decided to take the plunge and thought I could spoil myself to some new products. This was my first time ordering with Benefit and I can safely say that they had an easy check out system, shipped out quickly (it arrived at my house within 2 weeks) and packaged neatly. Benefit Cosmetics in Australia is on the pricey side so I think this custom kit has really saved my wallet haha. There are so much more choices than this so please take a look at their website if you're interested in a particular item. I would totally recommend this to people who are new to Benefit Cosmetics or has been a long lover of them because it's just a great addition to anyones makeup collection.

Rimmel Stay Matte Mousse Foundation | Review
Hey friends, I'm back to do a review on another foundation! I've been trying out the new Stay Matte Mousse Foundation for several weeks now and finally I can give you my honest opinion on it. If you guys haven't seen this foundation in stores yet, it's now available at Priceline and Chemist Warehouse. I picked it up at Chemist Warehouse when it was first released which retailed for $7.97. My shade is in 200 Soft Beige, just in case you guys were wondering.
Let's talk about the packaging, it's quite simple, nothing out of the ordinary. A basic squeeze tube with a screw off cap; easy to dispense product and can control how much you want to dispense. Not as handy as a pump but it's better than nothing! Onto the actual formula .. I haven't tried their original Stay Matte Foundation so I don't really have anything to compare it to but I would say it lives up to what it claims on their website and bottle.

Hello my darlings, welcome back to my page! Today I will be doing a review on the newest foundation by Revlon called 'Nearly Naked' as it claims that it's '.. so light, it melts right in, working in harmony with your skin's unique tone and texture for an even, fresh finish.' When this product hit the shelves in Priceline, I had to pick it up straight away since there were a fair few YouTube gurus raving about it and also comparing it to Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation (which isn't available in Australia!) so I was like 'gotta get my hands on that'.
When these products were released, Priceline was having a 'Buy 2 for $30' sale so they were $15 each which is pretty good in my opinion! For the foundation, I picked up the shade 160 Fresh Beige and in the powder, I picked up the shade 30 Medium. I think the foundation is a TAD too light for my skin but using it in conjunction with the powder, it looks flawless as it adds a little coverage. Let's start off by talking about the foundation shall we?
The packaging of this foundation is standard, class case with a screw off plastic cap. Downfall of this foundation? Yes you've guessed it, NO PUMP which is an absolute let down. Aside from that, the formula itself is great! It has an SPF of 20 which is great for the upcoming Summer but not too good for flash photography. You'll see later that even on my hand and taking a photo, it leaves a white cast which is a NO-NO for photography!
As you can see, the consistency of the foundation is quite liquid-y and because it doesn't have a pump, it's hard to distribute the right amount of product without pouring too much or too less (plus, it gets so messy!) but despite that, when it's applied on the skin, it blends wonderfully and smoothly. I would say this foundation CAN be built to the lower end of high coverage but it would defeat the purpose of it being 'nearly naked'. With one layer on my face, I would say it is a medium coverage which I'm happy with as that's what I'm used to with most of my foundations. Once applied, I felt as if it was really heavy, like I just applied MAC's Studio Fix but once it's settled into the skin, it feels and looks very natural. It leaves a dewy finish to the skin and if you have dry skin, I would say to skip the powder and move on to blush or bronzer! But for the people who have oily skin, I recommend you apply powder after the foundation has set unless you love the 'disco ball' effect, haha!
The packaging again is standard which you might have seen within the Revlon range already (like their bronzers). They have a small mirror on top of the window and also comes with a small puff so that you can use it on the go! You guys .. I absolutely adore this powder. It's a pressed and finely milled piece of art and works great with ALL foundations, not just the Nearly Naked. But I really like it because it adds coverage yet feels lightweight on my skin. It has a smooth texture and sets my foundation perfectly. I love the end results as it doesn't cake up the rest of my makeup, but mattifies exceptionally well which was surprising as I've never tried any powders from Revlon.
Overall, I really do like the Nearly Naked collection and I heard that Revlon is releasing a Nearly Naked Mineral Foundation soon (might have to get my hands on this aswell!) I think it's a great duo for people who have oily to combination skin but for dry skin, I recommend just the foundation which will do!
