Catrice Poreless Perfection Mousse foundation
Since the new Catrice products have been released I have been trying them out as much as I can. You will have seen me select the new Catrice Poreless Perfection Mousse foundation as part of my Shop My Stash. So I have been using this daily for more than a week to get a good…

Base Makeup Declutter
It is another week in which I declutter my makeup collection. I did my eyeshadow palette collection last week and this week we are doing base makeup. This means everything that I would use to get my makeup look started. So think foundation, concealer, powder, primer and setting sprays. Since I am less attached to…

Hourglass Vanish Stick foundation
The foundation currently in my Shop My Stash? Alongside the It Cosmetics CC cream I decided to finally put the Hourglass Vanish Stick foundation to the test. This is a foundation I have owned for some months, but I knew it would not be great for the summer time. Now that it is the winter…

ELF Swirl Foundation Brush
Are we not always looking for affordable makeup brushes? I certainly am! Some of my favorite brands to buy brushes from are Zoeva and Sigma, but those can still be on the more expensive side of things. So at times I love looking at brushes by drugstore brands. After my favorite brush for primer by…

Max Factor Radiant Lift foundation
Drugstore foundations is a category of makeup I love trying out. Often they are not only as good as high end brands, but they can even be better and at a more affordable price point. For instance while I love the YSL All Hours foundation, the very similar L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear is as good…

Dior Backstage Face & Body foundation
Today we are having a closer look at a not so new foundation, but one that I excited for nonetheless. I bought this last year just after it launched, but I hadn’t really given it a proper try just yet. So last month I committed to giving this a good try. It came with me…

Colourpop No Filter foundation
In this month’s shop my stash I decided to select the Colourpop No Filter foundation as one of two foundations to use this month. Earlier this year I already reviewed the accompanying concealer in this line. I liked it, but it emphasized my lines a bit because it has a drier, more matte finish. So…

Make Up Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Foundation & Concealer
You know I love a good drugstore product and if there is one brand I like trying things out from it would be Make Up Revolution. Their eyeshadow palettes for one, but after trying their Conceal & Define concealer and that instantly going to the top of my concealer favorites’ list, I knew I had…

Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude foundation
About a year ago I decided I wanted to try more high end foundations. I bought a few over the course of the year and am now making my way through them and testing them out fully. During the month of August, I was up for an easy lightweight foundation. I decided to pull in…

Makeup Basics | Picking a Foundation
To continue my makeup basics series, I thought that after talking about eyeshadows for a bit, we could switch to foundation. Foundation was a product I struggled with a lot when I first started using makeup, but I also think it is a product that lots of people are interested in trying. However, selecting the…

Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream
After my all time favorite BB cream was discontinued by The Body Shop, some people recommended I look into the newly released Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream. It took ages before I could find it in store last winter and since BB cream is a summer makeup product for me I didn’t get around to…
-
Essence You Better Work Tinted Day Cream
Now that it’s summer I like switching up my base to something more lightweight and airy. So when Essence released a new tinted day cream last winter as part of their spring/ summer 2019 collection, I knew I would bust it out come summer time. I love bb creams, but tinted moisturizers are quite new…

Maybelline Dream Cushion foundation
The foundation I used in the month of May was this Dream Cushion foundation by Maybelline that I have had for nearly 2 years and wore but never reviewed. I decided to make a point of trying to use it up this month as it was on the older side and I am not sure…

MAC Waterweight foundation
It’s foundation time again! I have been trying so many different foundations lately and it had been a while since I tried anything by MAC. I used to own the infamous Face & Body foundation and I wanted to repurchase that. But that foundation doesn’t have a great shade match for me and that is…
-
Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Foundation
Are you ready for a new drugstore foundation? One that has everyone talking? Because supposedly this new Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation is the drugstore dupe for the IT Cosmetics CC cream. And you know: if us makeup lovers can get a great product for a cheaper price, then we will go after it. So…
-
The Ordinary Serum foundation
The Ordinary is not only an affordable skincare brand, they also do some other products. One of those products is a range of 2 different foundations: the coverage and serum foundations. The coverage foundation promises to be more full coverage, but since I prefer a light to medium coverage foundation I decided to try the…
-
The Body Shop Matte Clay foundation
When The Body Shop discontinued one of my favorite products by them, I was sad to see it go. The Tea Tree BB Cream was one of my favorite lightweight, summer time face products. When I tried to see if I could still get my hands on it, the lady at the store informed me…

Makeup Declutter | Foundation
Today I continue my weekly makeup declutter and today’s episode is foundation. I am not much of a foundation girl. At least, I didn’t used to be. But then I started trying more and more in recent years and it has gotten a little out of hand. So much so that I have put my…

Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony foundation
A recent but not a new foundation: that is the Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony foundation. A foundation that I haven’t heard much about. No buzz, no nothing, but I knew the minute I spotted this in stores that I wanted to try this. Why? Because this is the European version of the much talked…
-
YSL All Hours foundation
If there is one thing I am always curious after is how good expensive makeup products are. Are they really worth their price point? Are they really any better than a product a fraction of the price from the drugstore? Very often my answer to that question is a solid no. There are very few…

L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hr Fresh Wear foundation (incl. comparison to Stay Fresh foundation)
Time for another foundation review! I have been interested in trying some more foundations lately and this is quite a recent release I figured to bump it up the review line. This is the L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear foundation and it is the updated formula from the older Stay Fresh foundation. I reviewed the Infallible…

Clinique Even Better Glow foundation
If there is one makeup brand I have not tried many products by it is Clinique. I have tried a few of their skincare products though such as the Dramatically Different Lotion and Hydroblur Moisturizer. And so far: what I have tried, I loved of the skincare range. So I figured I should start trying…
-
Too Faced Born This Way foundation
It is getting colder which means I am working on changing up my foundation. Where I prefer lightweight, barely there foundations in the summer time, during fall and winter I go with richer textures. I am not necessarily looking for a full coverage foundation, but what I am looking for is a formula that will…
-
Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation
Foundation was the last makeup item I got into. That is why I am running terribly behind. For a long time, I didn’t really feel my skin needed much coverage, but I have found that a good even base can do wonders for your makeup look. Since I do not need super heavy coverage, I…
-
Essence Insta Perfect foundation
You know I have to try it when Essence releases a new foundation. So when I spotted the #Insta Perfect foundation, I knew I wanted to give it a go. Because whenever a budget friendly foundation comes along that has potential, I am all game for trying it. And there is another reason why this…

Catrice HD Liquid Radiance foundation
When I showed the new Catrice products for fall/ winter 2018, I immediately got questions about the new foundation: HD Liquid Radiance. Since I wanted to wait until I went back to work to see how it would hold up during a regular workday, with perhaps a workout tacked on at the end, I didn’t…
