MAC Face and Body Foundation 5/5

I LOVE this foundation. It gave me exactly the coverage and finish that I love, and other products blended perfectly over it. I genuinely feel like I have found my dream daily foundation.
The coverage is enough to make my current acne a lot less visable, whilst also letting my freckles show through.
I would definately recommend.

MAC Prep+Prime Natural Radiance Base Visage

This was a really nice base to use. It added a nice, healthy looking glow to my skin, with this luminosity being visable even beneath a low coverage foundation.
I really feel that this base helped my base apply in a way that looked more ‘put together.’
It also had a slightly tacky feeling to it, so I feel like my makeup will last longer.
I received a sample with purchase, but dependent on price I think that I will repurchase when I run out of this.

Illamasqua Beyond Powder – Electric – 5/5

Bought this highlight on sale for £10, and I really enjoy it. It’s soft and applies smoothly, and doesn’t emphasize the texture on my skin.
It gives a lovely and natural highlight that isn’t too in your face, and I like the way that the pinky tone looks on me.
The packaging is also really cute, and the mirror is a very good size.
Overall I would recommend, especially if you can get it on a good deal.

The Ordinary Serum Foundation – 5/5

This is the best colour match I have found to my actual skin tone, but due to the coverage level I think I can afford to go up a shade without it looking orangy – feel like it would just make me look less ghost like!
I really enjoy this foundation. Normally foundation makes me look really, really dry and cakey, but I found that this gave me just enough coverage to cancel out redness without emphasising the moles on my face.
I definately think I will go a shade up, but I also definately recommend as it’s the only foundation I’ve tried they had helped me feel more confident as opposed to less.

Glossier Skin Tint – 5/5

Overall I think that this product is amazing if you are looking for that perfect ‘no makeup makeup look,’ but only if you already have pretty decent skin.
It is very lightweight, and I honestly think that you could get away with people not knowing that you were wearing makeup – I honestly couldn’t tell any difference without looking at the before and after pictures, and even then it wasn’t that dramatic a difference – I could still see some texture and redness, but it covered it up brilliantly.
I would recommend to somebody who is looking for that ‘me but better’ look.
One thing I will note is that this was tiny compared to what I was expecting, especially considering the finish. Overall I’m not sure if I would repurchase this product, but I am happy that I did, as I personally prefer low/medium coverage and would definately feel comfortable wearing this on a ‘good skin day’ – I marked it down by 1 star because I think that I would want just a little bit more coverage if my skin was having an ‘off day.’ If you do purchase this, please bare in mind that you won’t really get any coverage with this, it just makes your skin look healthier.

Glossier Lip Gloss – 5/5

Glossier in general gives me that ‘you but less dead’ look. Super happy with everything I’ve tried, and I particularly love this lip balm!


Super nourishing and the red one just gives a lovely flush of colour that makes me look healthy.
I would definately buy again, even with the price tag. One thing that I would note though, is that there is no need to buy more than one, as the colour is very sheer and therefore there is no real, noticeable difference between shades.

With this in mind though, I would recommend the red as it does give a healthy tint to the lips.

Glossier Haloscope in Quartz – 4/5

I like how natural this looks for a no makeup look. It doesn’t highlight the texture of my skin, and is easier to apply and blend in.
Saying this, I feel that this product only works if you are after a very natural look, as it really doesn’t add much of a highlight at all – it really is for a no makeup makeup look.
Due to the price and the fact that it is so natural looking I wouldn’t buy again, but I will definately use for very natural looking days.
