Hello Everyone. Been a hell of a week but really hopeful for good new next week. So fingers crossed for me.
Hope you all are having a pleasant summer. Who is travellig and where? Who is back already? Me? Stayed put and enjoyed a staycation.
Still determined to keep up with my product reviews posts.
Lets' get into this.....
Colourpop pretty fresh powder foundation - This product has a good shade range. Can be used as a bronzer, foundation, Setting powder.
I was able to get my exact shade so could use it as a powder foundation. Solid medium coverage with a dense brush. Can achieve a sheer coverage with a more fluffy brush.
I actually used up the product. I like it that much and also replaced this powder.
I also have the fenty powder foundation but I do have a pereference for this powder because it feels lighter when I use this to set my sheer foundations/skin tints. You can use this to build coverage without getting cakey. Just use a powder brush.
Now onto a rant...
The Colourpop pressed powder mega bronzer.
The product itself has issues so does the packaging which is worse. I just cannot understand the idea that the packaging needs to be that big and wide. To make the powder fit, this has to be pressed thinly which makes it more breakable than it should be and its powder for the love of God!
Whoever came up with this wide packaging idea needs to be slapped. Its that bad.
First time I got this, it came shattered. Sent the pictures to colourpop, they apologised and replaced and the replacement arrived (picture is of the replacement) shattered again. Just decided to press this back. Used for about a month and it shattered again.
Now onto product itself, it is highly pigmented and the shade worked as an eyeshadow and a bronzer but this is incredibly powdery. You cannot use this with a fan on. The displaced powder got everywhere. Hate to say it, I was happy when it finally shattered so I could get rid of it.
Warning....DO NOT GET ANY COLOURPOP PRODUCT IN THIS WIDE ASS PACKAGING.
Beauty pie Japanfusion urban air purifying day cream - how do they come up with these names? I am baffled.
Anyway, looking for a light day cream? This works. Oily skin, this will work for you. Light and still offers hydration that layers well. Non greasy or oily. Used mornings under makeup.
I got this for one of my Aunts who has oily skin and struggles with finding a moisturiser that works for her skin. She uses this day cream.
Beauty pie pure ceramides eye serum - Really like this product. Age is climbing. Heard it once, 1st place to display your age are around the eyes.
This helps to keep areas around eyes hydrated, which keeps crow's feet and wrinkles away. I also use this around my mouth and anywhere else I am getting wrinkles on my face.
Natrium glow getter body butter - When I first read the glowing reviews for this body butter, thought it was just bull but the hype is real and deserved. It is constantly getting sold out for a reason.
Yummy goodness. Very rich cream. Highly moisturising without the greasy or oily feeling. Packaging is also travel friendly. Repurchased immediately.
Beauty pie super dose vitamin c freeze dried ampoules - I got this for minimising hyperpigmentation, clearer complexion. This did not perform any better than a basic vitamin c serum. For the cost, it was a waste and not surprised this is off the site.
I would not recommend this and was a waste of 4 weeks.
This comes with 4 ampules which you have to mix one with the activator each week. Used as described but in my opinion was a waste of money, time and energy.
These empties are what are I consider dupes for well known products.
Nyx born to glow in my opinion is a close dupe of the Pat Mcgrath foundation. Just not as runny.
This illuminates, offers a solid medium coverage and can be built up. Good shade range and about a third of the Pat Mcgrath foundation cost.
Well worth it. I had issues with selecting my shade but found one that works for me. Not an exact match but it works.
Beauty Bay chamomile + oa lipid cleansing balm - close consistency and performance with the farmacy cleansing balm. Takes everything off including eye makeup without stripping and drying your skin. Pretty good and best of all affordable.
Beauty pie everyday great skin foundation - This is a dupe for Armani foundation. I usually wear this foundation when I have an event. It has staying power and it is beautiful Solid medium coverage and can be built up.
Feel light, not drying, does not settle into fine lines, gives you a grow up and natural coverage. Provides a good canvas for your other products. I love everything about this foundation and for the price of £16, get this!
Herbivore jelly cleanser - I am in the middle with this cleanser.Will certainly not get again.
Its not bad. Its just ok. It was my morning cleanser. For evening, while I do double cleanse, this did not do much for me in the evenings.
Always felt like I still needed to still clean my face even though it was clean. it was more of a feeling than performance.
Given that, will be passing on repurchasing.
Thanks everyone who made it to the end. Will stop he and continue in my next post.....
