NEW L'OREAL BUYS | THOUGHTS


Two years ago I WOULD NOT have been to say I've bought a different brand of makeup to try. But now, I'm always on the hunt for something new. 

These are a couple of my new recent pick ups by L'Oreal, A brand I'm really starting to fall in love with! (heart eyes emoji)
-  L'Oreal True Match Foundation in shade 2N Vanilla
- L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara in Black

I'll start with the foundation :)

Wow, Don't think I've ever used a foundation like it before. When I first popped it on it was so light feeling compared to others I have used previously, not cakey like at all but decent coverage that hides all my blemishes, I have worn it all day (12+ hours) and its still be visibly on but the coverage worn off a little. It does what it says on the bottle, very blend-able with other products you wish to use to complete your look. I didn't notice when I got it but it has a slight glow/shimmery pigment within it that I really love as it give me a little extra brightness.
I've never said this about a foundation before, but I would happily wear this just on its own and no other face bits if was go for a natural day but wanted a little coverage.
My only little gripe is I did find it a little more watery than other foundations I have used and I seem to use a a few more pumps that I'm used to, so we'll see how long its going to last. 
Other than that, it's still a foundation I would definitely recommend and also repurchase.

Now for the Mascara...

I always have trouble finding a mascara that adds extra curls, volume etc so always willing o try something new, so when I saw this on the shelves I just had to give it a try and I do like it! but its not a love product. The cutesy packaging is adorable and the curl roller brush on the wand really makes it different from the rest. I do really enjoy how it applies the mascara to my lashes.
I didn't feel any extra curling benefits from this but more the voluminous effect with every lash coated, opening up the eyes and lash lengthening. I found it drys well and lasts all day which is a great bonus but also so easy to get off at the end of the day.
I'll be honest I don't feel there is a lot to rave about with this mascara and not sure it'll be something I'll repurchase but its always good to give everything a go.

The great thing about both of these products is they are both under £10

Whats your experience with these or other L'Oreal products?

SPRING MAKEUP | PART 1

So the dream is, wavy beach hair, sun, sea, sand, pretty clothes and beautifully bronzed makeup. But for now stuck in the UK in my cosy jumper because spring doesn't quite know what its doing yet!
 I've got myself a favourite everyday make up that is a little more natural with a pop of colour.

I feel this is alot more toned down to what I usually wear eye-wise, would be more toned down without the eyelilner I know haha! But we know I can't go anywhere without it!
Nonetheless, a perfect everyday look, that is also very diverse and you can jazz it up or tone it down as much as you like.
Some ideas; Without eyeliner or maybe a brown/coloured eyeliner would alter the look completely or add golden glitter and extra highlighter to change it up again

. Perfect for those of you with holidays coming up, quick, easy simple and pretty.
This is something defo I'll be wearing on my holibobs in august when I'm not wandering around makeup free.
