Holy Grail Drugstore foundation & Powder Routine

-
I know eveyone has that one foundation that they always go back to even when they have about 10 others in their collection. I have tried foundation after foundation trying to find one that sits on my skin the way that i want it to and just make my skin look flawless and smooth. I know everyone gets caught up in the release of a new high end foundation (because i do) and i sometimes have to restrain myself from buying them as i already have enough foundation to last me a life time, and sometimes in the release of a drugstore foundation which i do buy and they're always super affordable and wont break the bank. And if i don't like them then i dont feel as bad.

I do have slightly combination skin so i do tend to get a bit oily throughout my t-zone and around my nose and chin, but that is only when its super hot and it rarley is in the UK. So i need a foundation that is going to stay on all day and not budge, and this one definately does the job. i try to use all of the other foundations in my collection but when they don't look right it stresses me out so i take it of and then go back to the same one and then im happy again.


For me my favourite holy grail foundation i the Rimmel lasting finish 25HR breathable foundation. now i dont know why anyone in their right mind would want to wear their makeuo for 25 hours, i can never wait to take mine of. This foundation retails for £8.99 in superdrug but you can often find it on offer in saver for £4.99 as they often have everything on rimmel for under a fiver. It is such a lightweight formula and very long wearing which is great as you dont always want a heavy foundation on your face but you still want that coverage. This is a great foudation if your just starting out with makeup as you can put on as little as you want for a natural look or build it up as much as you want for a full coverage look and it wont get cakey (i always go for the full coverage look). It does have a slight dewiness to the foundation which i dont mind as i use a lot of powder any ways.


Depending on what you prefer you could leave you face looking slightly dewy and drench you face in powder (which is was i usually do when i dont want my makeup to budge). So speaking of powder i have tried so many in the past, some have worked great and some just not so much. My go to powder that i always go back to and it never fails to make my foundation look amazing is the Lottie London Ready Set! Go loose powder. I have always heard Stephanie Toms talking about this one on youtube and i had to try it as it is so affordable and in superdrug it retails for £5.45 which is incredible as it is such a lovely loose powder and always makes my foundation look so smooth and flawless. This is a good powder to bake with but i dont like to do that as i find it doesnt make my foundation look as smooth as it would if i was to just dust it over my face which is what i prefer to do.


If you get the chance to try this perfect combination i would definately go for it as they are 100% worth trying. I promise you wont regret it.

So i know that nearly everyone will have their favourite makeup items that are a staple in their summer makeup bag and that they use every summer and swear by. So here is a list of my favourite summer staple beauty products that i couldn't recommend enough and that i use every summer without fail. I hope you like it and please leave a comment on what you thought. Facial mists are a staple in my summer makeup bag as they are a great way to cool your face down and also keep your makeup intact at the same time. The body shop mint mattifying face mist is a great example and one of my favourites. It keeps your makeup in place for so long. my skin does get quite oily throughout the day, especially during summer. and this one just keeps my makeup on longer and cools my face down at the same time. another favourite is the Superdrug vitamin E hydrating mist. it is so hydrating and smells amazing, it is enriched with aloe Vera which instantly sooths the skin and tones at the same t...

Review: Morphe 39s Such a Gem Palette

So i have recently gotten a new found love for Morphe eyeshadow palettes. I'm not a one to go and buy high end palettes straight away but when there's one you really want and you know you'll get a lot of use out of it then why not. I do love my drugstore palettes and they are what i buy more, but i do like to have more higher end palettes in my collection as well. Purple eyeshadow is one of my favourite to use as i just love how it looks and my looks always turn out so good, so that is one of the main reasons that i bought this palette. They have added 2 new formulas to this palettes which they have never done before, those being new silk toppers and 1 pressed glitter formula. This palette retails for £35 but if you use the code "ADOPTLOVE" it gives you 10% of your order and also helps out animal shelters. It makes me happy that there is a discount code for this. The layout of this palette i really like, it has the same layout to the James Charles...
