Maybelline Superstay foundation
Happy New Year! It’s January 1st, which means I’m back for a new year filled with blogs on makeup, lifestyle and fashion. It was good to have a bit of a break last week, but I’m back in full swing with a brand new review of a brand new product. Maybelline just released their new…

Favorite foundations
Foundation was never my favorite makeup product, but lately I’ve been trying some different ones to see what I like. But while trying new stuff is what I love to do, sometimes the old favorites are good to pull out and go back to basics. And I have a few foundations, both drugstore and high…

It Cosmetics CC cream
Today’s blog is a special one. A) I wrote it with a mouse and my phone, because my keyboard went down. B) It is on a product that is very much raved about. The IT Cosmetics Your Skin but Better CC Cream is a cult favorite. And for good reason I’ve found: I am absolutely…

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation
My favorite drugstore foundations? Bourjois Healthy Mix. Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless. And now also: Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous. This is a foundation that I have had for a while, but that I just hadn’t gotten round to make my mind up about. The reason? This is a very hard to get foundation if…

L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hr Matte foundation
A few weeks ago, I already reviewed the L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh foundation. While that looked like a promising foundation, it didn’t do the trick for me and since I like the Nude Magique Cushion foundation so much I wasn’t about to give up on L’Oreal’s foundations just yet. I purchased this L’Oreal Infallible Matte…

L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh foundation
This past year, testing out new foundations have been my thing. I was never much of a foundation girl. My skin was fussy and most of the time didn’t like it. It cause itching and breakouts most of the time, but as my skincare routine improved, I found I could wear more and more different…

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation (old vs new formula)
Bourjois has reformulated their Healthy Mix foundation and I was curious to try it. The old version is one of my favorite drugstore foundations, but it is a bit too dark and yellow for me on most days. This is why I don’t reach for it all that often. The newer formula promises to be…

Catrice 24 H Made to Stay foundation
If you’ve been following my blog this past week, then you may have expected a review like this. Catrice has launched their Spring/ Summer 2017 line and I got my hands on quite a few goodies. I decided to first start trying out the foundation as that was the product that intrigued me most. I…

Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless foundation
Lately I have found myself on a major foundation kick. I’ve been trying new releases left and right. Moreover, where I normally opt for a light coverage foundation, I have also been dabbling with full coverage ones. Another type of foundation I’ve been trying out is the matte foundation. So many people swear by those…

L’Oreal Nude Magique Cushion foundation
Of course I couldn’t leave out writing a full review after Sunday’s L’Oreal Brand Bites video. In that video, I already mention this foundation and say a little bit about it. However, that is not as elaborate as if I were to write a full blog devoted the review of the L’Oreal Cushion foundation. So…

Catrice HD foundation
Whenever a budget friendly brand such as Catrice puts out a new foundation, I’m first in line to pick it up and try it out. So when I spotted the new Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation that came out a few weeks ago, I was all ears. I bought the lightest shade: 010 Light Beige…

L’Oreal True Match foundation US
Two years ago I reviewed the L’Oreal True Match foundation. I really liked it at the time. I also knew however that in the US, this product looks differently and is available in many more shades. In the past two years I stopped being super duper pale for most of the year and so the…

The Body Shop Tea Tree BB Cream
I hadn’t tried anything from TBS’s Tea Tree line yet. That was until I bought this BB cream. Since the Tea Tree line is formulated especially for blemish prone skin and my skin is anything but blemish prone, I had never really looked into it. That changed when I was looking for a product for…
-
Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation
Foundation was the last make up product that I added to my routine. I don’t have the world’s most terrible skin and that’s why I was always quite skeptical towards wearing foundation. Trying foundation is therefore something I do like to do, but which I don’t get round to very often. Usually when I have…

Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude foundation Light Porcelain
Two weeks ago, I posted a not so positive review of the Rimmel BB Cream Radiance. To balance things out and to show you that Rimmel most definitely does some amazing foundations, I decided to post another review of one of their face products. That is why today is devoted to the Rimmel Lasting Finish…

Rimmel BB Cream Radiance in Very Light
Flawless skin is one aspect that make up can bring you, so I am forever looking for the perfect base products. A few years ago, BB creams were all the rage. Boasting skincare benefits as well as coverage, they quickly became a bestselling product and last year Rimmel expanded their range. As their original BB…

Catrice Even Skin Tone Foundation
When Catrice releases a new foundation, I have to try it. Especially if it is a foundation that comes in some nice, light colors. I already showed this briefly in my Catrice/ Essence new products overview a few weeks ago, but when you start using a foundation every day and has become your favorite, it…

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick
A make up brand I hadn’t much explored was Bobbi Brown. I had heard of it, I had seen it around, but I never truly became invested in the brand. That was until my local Douglas was refurbished and reopened with a Bobbi Brown counter. I decided to go and explore the brand and ever…
-
Catrice Velvet Finish foundation
When Catrice released this new foundation last October, I was curious for two reasons. The first reason is that it came in a seemingly very light shade. The second reason was the fact that I love their All Matt Plus foundation and was curious to try more. And I really thought it was time I…
-
Chanel Vitalumière Aqua foundation
Time for another foundation review! My quest for the ultimate foundation continues, though a little less fervently than before. And if it hadn’t been for the fact that I could pick this up at a 30% discount, I doubt I’d have picked it up at all. For some time a high end drugstore held residence…
-
Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation
Finding the prefect foundation is a neverending quest. After trying the L’Oreal True Match, I decided I liked it, but the pump disposes a tad too much product. So my quest went on. I heard great things about the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, but I was under the impression that Bourjois foundations in The Netherlands…
-
L’Oreal True Match foundation
My quest for a good foundation that fulfills most of my needs seems to have become a never ending search for new things to try. I love my Dior foundation, but since that’s quite expensive, finding a good drugstore alternative would be nice. A while ago, my drugstore had a discount on all L’Oreal products…
-
Rimmel Match Perfection foundation
A few days ago I posted my spring make up look where I used this foundation as a base. At the time I already alluded to how I felt about this product. I had never tried a Rimmel foundation before and I was curious to try them. I love their BB cream and almost used…
-
Catrice All Matt Plus foundation
The item in my budget make up shoplog I was most curious about, was the Catrice All Matt Plus foundation in 010 Light Beige. Since the end of last year I’ve been on a foundation trial kick. I already tried a Dior one and a L’Oreal one, but nothing super duper budget proof. I had…
-
DiorSkin Nude foundation
And foundation review no. 2! My first high end foundation and one that I bought after finishing a little sample jar. I knew before I bought the full size that it wouldn’t break me out and that I would like the coverage and look and feel of this foundation. However, now that I do have…

L’Oreal Nude Magique Eau de Teint
A few days ago I posted a beauty shoplog and I showed you two foundations. Today I will be reviewing one of these for you: the L’Oreal Nude Magique Eau de Teint. Up until recently I only owned 1 foundation (and 2 BB creams). My history with foundation isn’t a very pleasant one. Because I…
-
Maybelline Fit Me foundation
Foundation: the worst make up product on the planet. I’ve only been using foundation since September because I had never found a foundation that actually fit me. I had bought a few, but never wore them. Mostly because the color was too dark and I didn’t want to spend a fortune buying drugstore foundations (which…

Missha BB Cream
As you may have noticed from some of my shoplogs I have set out to trying some new beauty products. One of these new products is a real Asian BB Cream. I bought the Garnier BB Cream when it came out in October and have been loving it. I have been using it every day…

Review: Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector (or BB Cream)
There has been lots of buzz about this new product Garnier put on the market just recently. It’s supposed to be the first BB Cream produced for Non-Asian people. BB Creams are in fact blemish balms (hence the BB) that have been Asian women’s go to products for years. The problem was that the color…
