Top 5 affordable make up products

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I will be talking about a few of my favourite make up products and why I like them. I hope you enjoy this post.

Loreal True Match Foundation:

I first tried this product about a year ago and I have loved it ever since. I use the shade 1.N which matches my skin beautifully. I really like the finish of this foundation as it stays quite dewy on my dry skin but doesn't look oily. The coverage is medium but can be built up to full coverage, it layers beautifully and doesn't look cakey on the skin. I find that this lasts fairly well on my skin and my other products last well on top of it. Also this is very affordable which is just the cherry on the cake for me.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer:

I have been using this product for years I know that this is a well loved product which is totally understandable given the high quality product at such a low price point. The coverage of this concealer is amazing, it blends beautifully and works brilliant for under eyes and over blemishes. I have found that with other concealers at this price point either the coverage isn't enough or the formula dries down too quickly for it to blend into the skin well. I also love that this range goes pale enough for my fair skin tone, I don't think that the ranges goes dark enough for someone of colour, but for medium and lighter skin tones it works very well. (I really hope that the drugstore and highstreet brands get their arse's in gear and get some darker shades out there).

Miss Sporty Eyeliner Pencil:

I think this was the second eyeliner pencil I ever bought and I still love it to this day. It is such a good product for the price, this is so affordable. It is super soft and creamy and very comfortable to apply and the pigmentation is beautiful, it is super black which I love. It lasts fairly well in the water line but I do have to touch up after 4-5 hours. My only problem with this product is that it does smudge and transfer a little bit, but when I set it with a small amount of eye shadow there is not issue at all.

Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Palette:

I absolutely LOVE this palette. All but maybe 2 of the colours in the palette I think are amazing, easily some of the best highlighters I have used. There are also some beautiful blush topper colours of which are beautiful on their own or over blush. These are not chunky or super glittery but they are high shine and shimmery and magical...I love them. They work beautifully on the skin or as eye shadows, you can foil them using a bit of setting spray to dampen your brush. They can be used subtly or you can get a really strong pay off. Brilliant texture, pigmentation and price.

Top Shop Cheek Jelly:

I know this is a cheek product but I really like to use it on the lips. It give a really natural moisturising stain that looks and feels lovely. I do also like it on the cheeks but I much prefer it as a lip product. It is a really smooth gel texture that isn't greasy or oily but still feels really hydrating. The pigmentation is pretty good but it can still be built up for a bolder colour. I really like this product and I'm surprised I never hear about it.

I would highly recommend all of these products. I really hope you enjoyed this post, I know its quite a short one but I wanted to make sure I got something up for you guys. I have Some really cool blogs and reviews on the way so stay tuned. Love you all.

Dermacol Extreme Coverage Foundation Review

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I will be reviewing the Dermacol full coverage foundation, I am sure you will have seen it all over Youtube. I ordered mine from Ebay and it arrived within a week and cost me £2.89.

http://www.dermacolcosmetics.com/produkt/dermacol-make-up-cover-make-up-cover-224/

Above is a link to the Dermacol cosmetics website. If you want to read the full description and claims of this foundation then go a head and click the link. If like me you are too lazy to do that then I will give a brief summary of what they say. 

 The claims for this foundation are as follows:

-waterproof

-hypoallergenic

-SPF 30

-Suitable for all skin types

-50% pigment

-Extreme full coverage (enough to cover tattoos)

Lets get into it. 

I did my skin care as normal, if you want to know what I used then check out my skin care blog, http://bit.ly/2tZJVOt . I then applied the foundation with a real techniques miracle complexion sponge. The foundation is very thick which is to be expected from a high coverage foundation. I found that it took me a little longer than normal to blend out the foundation, in future when using it I will either add a drop or two of oil or mix it with my normal foundation. The coverage is very good but not as full coverage as I expected, you can still see some of my freckles and redness through the foundation. However I did not apply any concealer as I wanted to see how it would work on its own and it covered my dark circles very well. I found that the foundation does set but it stays quite dewy looking. I used a small amount of translucent powder to set my under eyes and any where I thought it was too shiny. I then applied a jelly blush, liquid bronzer, powder blush and powder highlight over the the foundation and they all applied normally without any issue.

You will see the application and how I applied the rest of my makeup in the video. I will apologise in advance for the water mark on the video, I am trying out a video software and I am yet to purchase it. I have also taken pictures of the make up throughout the day.

After 3 1/2 hours the foundation had started to wear off across my jawline/cheeks. I have fairly dry skin so getting oily or shiny is very rarely an issue for me, it wasn't a problem I had with this foundation, the finish didn't change. My under eyes were looking pretty dry, other than that it was doing well up to this point. I can't complain too much about the foundation wearing off as I am someone who touches my face more than I should, I lean my face on my hands and my 2 year old often grabs my face for kisses (so cute btw).

After 12 hours the foundation had mostly worn off, but there was still coverage on the skin. Again I didn't get shiny and the foundation didn't break down. The rest of my makeup didn't last. The last check in I did for the foundation was at 1:30 am so needless to say I am rather tired looking.

Told you!!

To summarise this review, I do like the foundation and I will be using it again but in the ways I described earlier, with oil or mixed with my other foundation.

Pros:

Good coverage

Nice finish

Didn't need much powder

Good colour match

Make up went over it well

Sat well on the skin

Cons:

Under eyes looked dry

Didn't last as long as I hoped

Didn't blend well

Formula was slightly dry (for my skin type)

I would definitely recommend this foundation. If you have normal to dry skin then I would suggest moisturising well and using with a drop or 2 of oil or using as a coverage boost to another foundation. If you have oily combination skin then I think this foundation will last well on you, just powder lightly where you need to and use a good mattifying primer.

I really hope you have enjoyed this post, I really enjoyed making it. Let me know what you thought in the comments below.

Have you tried this foundation? If yes then what did you think? If no are you going to? Love you millions.
