FIT me! Maybelline New York Foundation Review

Well Hello There! :)

While in Superdrug foundation caught my eye due to its sleek bottle design - so I had to have it.

It's a beautiful glass bottle, with minimal writing over it, (and what is there can easily be peeled off).
The bottle holds 30ml and priced at £7.99, it's a good little bargain.

My skin is naturally very dry, and before purchasing I was worried that it may make my skin appear worse, but so far everything has been fine.
Application wise, it spreads beautifully, I've been using a buffer brush to apply it as i'm not a fan of foundation brushes, and it spreads really well. Not that much foundation is needed.

I got it in the shade 120 - classic ivory which has undertones of yellow, which if I had done my research I would have known, but I didn't. My skin has pink undertones therefore the colour doesn't match exactly, however I am going to try it in the shade 115, ivory - because I am pretty pleased with it for a high street brand.

Here comes the slight downside...
After applying it in the morning, then going about my day once it comes to about 3/4pm most of it has rubbed off, even after setting it with powder. Now, this ain't good although it does depends what your day consists of, for the average school/uni/work day, most don't mind a slight break from work to retouch their make-up.

Overall conclusion, i'd give it a 6.5/10. I just feel that a 7 would be to high, but a 6 too low. I am going to repurchase it in shade 115 and see how that goes so I will update with that in a few months.

Any queries, please comment =D

Ultimate Dry Skin Solution!

The skin on my face is... horrendous, that's a fact.
I am forever getting spots, trying to get rid of them and ending up with dry, scaly skin. Nice. After going through many many moisturisers and not getting the right results, I took drastic action and choose the most intense moisturiser I could find.
E45 Cream.
'Treatment for Dry Skin Conditions'
 Yepp that's me.

Beautiful Stuff

It worked absolute miracles, left my skin with no hint of dryness but yet not oily. Perfect.

My skin has slightly improved growing older and less of lose pesky hormones so I have actually moved onto the E45 Lotion.

 It is a lot  lighter than the cream. To put it on simply squeeze a small amount out and it spreads well, at night I put on two coats of this, since my wipes and cleanser leaves it very dry and tight feeling.

For me E45 is fab and at a low price, around £3 per bottle, and can be bought at any drug store or supermarket. Also in competition with it was Liz Earle's "Skin Repair Moisturiser' which I couldn't speak any higher of, but unfortunately mine ran out, and I find it a tab pricey unfortunately.

Note: this is also great for dry legs/arms/hands... everything!!
