Maybelline fit me matte and poreless foundation

Bonjour!

Foundation for me, is one of the most difficult things to buy. I have very fair and oily skin, so trying to find the perfect shade and right formula isn't the easiest task in the world. 

Before my trip to NYC back in December, I decided to watch a few American haul videos to see what was new in the drugstores across the pond. One foundation that caught my eye was the new Maybelline Fit me matte and poreless foundation.

 I haven't tried any face products from Maybelline as I haven't been sure how they'd last on my skin, so I was very excited to try this foundation out. I picked out the second lightest shade, however it is a little warmer toned than I'd usually wear so I think I could have gotten away with the lightest. 

The formula isn't too thick or thin, it has the perfect consistency for me. Because the foundation isn't too thick, it allows more coverage on the skin and means you won't use too much product. 

I'd say this is a medium to full coverage and can be built up without looking cakey. The finish is matte like the name would suggest, and it definitely gives an even and flawless finish. I use a beauty blender type sponge and find this way gives the best coverage and finish. 

The biggest test for me with any foundation is how well it lasts, and how well it wears off on the oiliest parts of my face. This is hands down, one of the best foundations for staying power that I've tried, it even beats double wear for me! I applied this at 6:30 am and throughout the day it didn't seem to budge at all. I checked my make up before removing it at around 7:30 pm and barely noticed any difference. It had started to disappear from my chin, which is where I always loses make up, but it didn't look cakey or even that noticeable. I definitely think that I could have just topped my make up with more foundation or a little concealer and I'd have been good to go. 

When this hits the shelves in the UK it shall definitely be my new go to foundation. If you have oily skin and find it difficult finding a foundation that will last, this is absolutely worth a go.

New York haul - High end make up

Bonjour!

How are you all? I mentioned in my latest post that life has been pretty hectic, and that I may have had a little trip to New York City....

I've been to the big apple once before, and I did the same thing then that I did this time: spent literally every dollar on make up. And, I'm not even sorry! It's just something that has to be done, right? 

Ok, enough with the boring stuff, here's what I picked up from Sephora  and Saks fifth Avenue:

Sephora:

Tarte 'Lights, Camera, Lashes' mascara
Tarte blush in 'Exposed'

Too Faced melted in 'Melted fig'

Kat Von D Lock it tattoo concealer in 'Light 16'

BareMinerals marvelous moxie lipstick in 'Fly high'

Happy New Year and thank YOU!

Bonjour!

Long time no blog! I don't even know where to begin. 

First off HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Work has been hectic, life has been hectic and time seems to have flown by! I've literally had no time to myself let alone had time to blog, and by the time I get home it's pitch black so I've had no lighting at all to take pictures.

However, excuses over, 2015 shall see many more frequent posts from me. I've recently just got back from New York and may have spent a little too much on make up (well......what else is a gal to do in the big apple?!) so I may have a few exciting reviews coming up.

I also wanted to say a big thank you to all that have followed and been continuing to read my blog. I've checked in a few times and noticed I was still getting views on previous posts and it means a lot.

I'm looking forward to getting back on the blogging horse and sharing my make up thoughts with you all.

Once again, thank you and a massive happy new year. I hope 2015 is an amazing year for you all!!!
