My Favourite Foundations For The Summer!

Hey beaut's!

During the Summer months I love a good lightweight foundation that's going to hold up well in the warmer weather and still have that dewy look to it. I know matte foundations are preferred by lots during the warmer weather but I have dryer skin so something more dewy always works best for me so today I thought I'd talk all about my favourites!

Rimmel foundations are incredible, their so affordable but amazing in quality too! Their Match Perfection Foundation has been re-purchased by me countless times, it has a weightless, smooth texture and medium-buildable coverage that blends with the skins real tone instead of masking it, it literally evens everything out whilst making me look completely radiant, I love it. Another favourite of mine from Rimmel in the Summer is their 9 in1 BB Cream. This stuff is incredible, it feels light enough to be some sort of skincare product - you literally cant feel it on your skin at all, it minimises the appearance of pores, smooths, brightens, conceals and covers, contains SPF 25, lasts all day and is literally heaven in a bottle! 

Keeping with foundations from the drugstore L'Oreal's Lumi Magique is lovely, it's great for dryer skin types like mine and it's light infusing which means it gives luminosity to the skin and really adds a beautiful subtle glow which I love in the Summer. The formula is very light weight, silky soft, blends into the skin well and provides hydration all day which is perfect for me. Moving onto something slightly more pricey - MAC's Face and Body! I think this foundation is pretty much a staple in most makeup lovers collection, it's literally as light as water on the skin, super dewy and healthy looking and even though the coverage is very light it builds up so well until you get the coverage you desire, perfect if you've got a tan and just want to even things out slightly! Finally theres Joan Collins First Base Foundation. This is my current go to foundation at the moment, it has a medium coverage, it smooths over my pores and fine lines whilst still feeling super lightweight and comfortable on my skin, it has a natural finish with a glow that never looks heavy or cakey and I've not experienced any clinging to my dry patches either, it literally perfect for me!

What's your favourite foundation to wear in the Summer? I'd love to know!

Joan Collins First Base Foundation and Fade To Perfect Concealer Review

Hey beaut's!

It's no secret that I'm a huge Joan Collins beauty fan, I've got quite a collection of her products now all of which I'm pretty obsessed with - especially her lippies, if you haven't tried them before you definitely need too, their lush. Any who.... enough about lippies, today I'm talking all about achieving a flawless base with Joan Collins First Base Foundation and Fade To Perfect Concealer.

The Joan Collins First Base Foundation* claims to be skincare in a foundation, offering a smooth, flawless complexion with a radiant, natural finish. It contains Re-Age Complex which charges the skin with youthful energy to help increase collagen levels as well as Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and fill in fine lines, sounds pretty epic right? The formula of the foundation itself is gorgeous and I've been absolutely loving it so far, it has medium coverage that can easily be built up if needed, it smoothes over pores and fine lines whilst still feeling super lightweight and comfortable on the skin, it has a natural finish with a youthful glow that never looks heavy or cakey and I've not experienced any clinging to my dry patches either. The lasting power is pretty good on me, I get a good 8-9 hours worth or wear until I start noticing some slight wear on my chin area and it never goes oily, tacky or greasy through the day either. Also can we just appreciate how gorgeous the packaging is, the frosted glass bottle and gold accents look so sleek and chic, I love it!

The Joan Collins Fade To Perfect Concealer*  is said to be Dame Joan's magic wand, again it combines skincare with concealer, claiming to reduce dark circles, soothe irritation and calm puffiness around the eyes. What I love about this concealer is that it's super brightening, I do have the fairest shade 'Fair' which probably helps but I LOVE a bright under eye and this certainly does the trick, the light reflecting particles makes my eyes appear more awake and lifted around and not so drab and dull in the mornings . The concealer has a lovely creamy texture that's super easy to work with and blend, in terms of coverage I'd say it's medium, It's not as heavy duty as I'd like but it definitely has a certain amount of coverage there to tackle my dark under eyes.

Overall I've really been enjoying this duo, the foundation is my new favourite, it literally ticks all the boxes for me and I feel like all skin types could easily wear this beauty! The concealer is also fabulous for brightening up my eye area, and the formula is absolutely lovely! These two wont be leaving my makeup bag any time soon I can assure you!
