L'Oreal have recently launched some of their new products for 2017, thus including the highly anticipated Infallible Total Cover Foundation. This foundation is advertised to provide a full coverage, natural finish with air-light texture, whilst also lasting up to 24 hours. I won't be testing out the whole 24 hour claim, I mean, who really wants to have their makeup on for that long? L'Oreal claim that you "Get up to 24 hours of full coverage with a lightweight feel and a natural finish. Infallible Total Cover Foundation blends instantly to cover dark spots, blemishes, scars, and hyperpigmentation for a flawless complexion. The foundation is formulated with highload pigments for full coverage and is enriched with Alliagel. The formula glides on and feels fresh all day. It will create the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application." I could not wait to get my hands on this and try it out, so lets get straight into the review.
I love trying new primers, I am constantly on the lookout for that perfect primer that will make my makeup last all day long and keep it sitting nicely on my skin, especially any dry patches. I have used a lot of primers over the years, and I have some that I like such as the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot Primer. The NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a product that I have seen a lot of buzz about, so when I was in Boots and seen this I swiftly grabbed one. This primer was £12, which I found to be a little pricey for NYX but still a lot more affordable compared to Smashbox, so it is still a budget primer. The NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer is a lightweight and oil-free primer that smoothes the skin and mattifies it. It also extends the wear of a foundation. This primer can be worn alone to give it a smoother look to the skin or used as a primer under a foundation to make it last longer.
Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation looks natural but has a full coverage, wears well and does no cake up on the skin. Could this be the foundation for you?
I used to use this foundation a few years back and it was my holy grail, until I started to discover other brands and their amazing foundations. However, recently everyone seems to have joined the hype and been raving about this foundation, again. So, I thought, why not try it out again and see if the new 'comfort serum' has made a difference to the formula.
Rimmel say that this foundation blends flawlessly, instantly, seamless and easily into the skin. And also that it is sweat, heat, transfer and humidity proof for up to 25 hours. So, lets focus on one little drugstore gem that I recently have fallen back in love with.
There is a lot of hype going around right now about Soap and Glory, especially their One Heck of a Blot Primer. The Soap and Glory brand is a great brand that I think deserves a lot more attention than it gets, especially for their makeup, which is of brilliant quality and is affordable. One Heck of a Blot originally started out as a pressed powder that was used for touching up throughout the day. Soap and Glory have now expanded their range and have included a new foundation and a new primer, as you can tell I will be reviewing the primer today.
Born This Way is definitely a full coverage, oil-free and blendable foundation. I had very high hopes for this foundation as I had heard so many people raving about it. Because I live in the UK I had no idea of where I could get this foundation, so while I was in Brighton and wondered into Debenhams (link to buy this foundation here.) I was so excited too see a Too Faced stand that stocked this foundation. This was definitely handy because I was able to swatch the shades and find which one suits me best. There are only 12 shades available to buy in the UK but there is a shade for every skin tone. At £29 this foundation is a little on the pricey side but it is 100% worth it!
What they say it does:
"It
conceals imperfections, dark circles and puffiness for a fresh and
radiant look. Radiance Reveal Concealer is enriched with Mont Blanc
glacier water & hyaluronic acid, which helps to visibly smooth away wrinkles and fine lines and also hydrates the under-eye area for up to 24 hours." - Bourjois.co.uk
