July was a good month. I went to Ibiza and got some fab new products! Heres a few...
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Now, where has this foundation been all my life? I am gutted I didn't try this foundation sooner. I've been trying different foundations for a while now, I like to wear drugstore in the day and high end on a night out. I didn't even mean to buy it. I travelled (yes, I live in Wales so I have to plan and travel when I need to buy make up) to go and buy a L'Oreal foundation but they didn't stock it. So that I didn't feel like I'd wasted a trip I saw the Fit Me foundation with 'matte' on the front, which is what I'm ALL about, so I bought it. This foundation is super good if you have oily skin. The coverage is medium but you can build it up to full. Because I'm really oily I find it hard to find foundations that don't separate on my skin or just slide off. I wear this foundation to work, where I can work up to 12 hours a day, and this foundation doesn't move! It's easy to blend with a sponge and feels light on the skin.
Price: £6.98
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
I saw Holly Boon say that this is just as good if not better than MAC Studio Fix+ so I was like, I have to try. I love to spray this on my skin when I've got no make up on. It's so incredibly refreshing and moisturising. I like to spray my Real Techniques sponge with this before I apply my foundation. Because I use only matte foundations this really helps add some moisture back to my face. If I'm doing a super matte look for a night out using a lot of powder to set then I use the spray when I've finished doing my make up and it helps get rid of any cakey-ness.
Price: £7.00
Liz Earle Skincare
I'm going to do a separate post about my skincare routine, but I had to mention it here. I know it's bad but I've never had a skincare routine before. Mainly because I've never really had bad skin, but I've finally realised how important it is. This skincare line is amazing for all skin types. I use it every morning and night and it has helped clear up my skin in the last few weeks.
Price: Cleanser £14.50 / Toner £15.00
NYX Mineral Foundation Stick
I'm obsessed with this product. I've been telling everyone about it because I think everyone needs it in their life. It's changed my contour game for sure. It is a foundation stick, so you could use it as that, but I buy it in a much deeper shade than my skin tone to use it as a contour stick. This blends SOOOO well. It's so creamy and light on the face, it makes your contour look flawless. I found it hard to find a shade that I thought would be right, but I think what I'm using now looks good. I would definitely recommend going and trying the shades first before buying.
Price: £11.50
Love Island Water Bottle
Just like almost everyone else in the country I have been obsessed with Love Island. I got my hands on the personalised water bottles and I love it. It's good because there's a compartment where you can add fruit into it to infuse the water. It is also a good size water bottle so helps get you to drink more water throughout the day. These are available on the Love Island app.
