REVIEW: L'Oreal Infallible 24H- Matte Foundation

First off, I'd like to thank my friend and fellow beauty blogger, Zara, for recommending this foundation to me! (Check out her review of the foundation on The Glamourelle).
This is honest to God, the BEST foundation I have ever used in my entire life!!! I purchased it at Boots for €11.39 and that was quite possibly the best €11.39 I have ever spent in my life! 
I purchased Porcelain because Vanilla was too yellow toned for me but Porcelain is a little too pale so I'm gonna play around with mixing some shades around until I find my perfect one!
That being said, this is still the best ever foundation of my life. 
First of all, this needs a name change. L'Oreal should have marketed this as a 3-in-1 instead of a foundation because oh lord, it ticks all of the boxes!
Upon first application, I was just completely thrown away. I used a buffing brush to apply it all over my face and the coverage was amazing. It's classified as medium to full coverage so that was to be expected but I was blown away. It covered all of the redness from my acne including some acne scarring. I had absolutely no need to use concealer at all. The job was done! 
I then brushed my fingers over my face to feel it felt heavy to the touch and it honestly looked and felt like I had already applied powder. It says it's a matte foundation and boy oh boy, it is!! It didn't feel cakey at all which is usually expected in a full coverage foundation so I was absolutely delighted with myself at how light it felt! 
I generally have normal skin, I don't get oily or have dry skin so if you have normal type skin then you should see similar results!
Now, in terms of it's lasting power.... I haven't worn it for a full 24 hours but I did wear it on New Years Eve to a concert and for about 12 hours and it didn't budge or melt from my face at all! It is definitely a great everyday foundation if you're a busy gal like me and needs it to last all day long no matter how much running around you're doing! I found that it stayed matte all day. I tend to get a little oily or sweaty around my T zone if I'm running around all day or if it's warm but nope! Not with this bad boy!
Overall, this is an amazing foundation that I will definitely be repurchasing! I'd highly recommend it to people with oily to normal skin. As it is a mattifying foundation, they tend to stick to dry skin so I would probably not recommend it for that. The ONLY reason I'm not giving it a 10/10 is because I didn't find the color range all that fantastic BUT I am so not fussy about playing around and creating my own perfect shade, so it's not that much of a downside for me!
9/10

Review: Bleach London Rosé Hair Dye & Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram  (if you don't you should) you would have seen that in the last couple of months I've gone from having blonde hair to having pink hair, back to being blonde, to having pink hair again and it's just been a long cycle!  After using several temporary pink hair dyes, I have FINALLY found one that does not stain my blonde hair!  Because of the job I have, I can't have super fun colored hair so when I went on vacation for weeks this summer, I wanted to take advantage of the freedom and quench my thirst for fun hair. It had to be gone by the time I was back in work so I needed to find one that wouldn't stain and stay forever.  After extensive research and asking others for help, I finally found a candy floss pastel pink hair dye that was EXACTLY what I wanted! That hair dye was  Bleach London in Rosé  which is only €8.99 in Boots and every so often part of their 3 for 2 offer! With the help of my BFF, we applied about a...

How to Travel Like a Pro

Image
I've done my share of travelling in my short 18 years of being alive. My first flight was when I was 4 weeks old and I've been flying pretty regularly ever since. Things have changed in terms of travel in the last 18 years and from my personal experience, I've learned what to do and what not to do when it comes to travelling, especially when it comes to long haul 6+ hour flights/ journey's. Carry- On When it comes to a carry on, I like to keep it nice and light. There's nothing worse than lugging around a bunch of heavy giant bags when you're navigating around airports and trying to board a plane. I've also had my fair share of trying to squeeze a bag into the overhead carrier, which is why I like to keep it small and compact when I can.  Most airlines allow you one personal item, such as a purse or briefcase and a carry on suitcase like a duffle bag or small suitcase. I like to use a big purse to keep all of my personal items in. If you're checki...

What's in My Gym Bag?

Image
This has been a highly requested post on what I bring to the gym with me! I may not use all of the products below every time I go but I have used them all at one stage or another! Sometimes, post workout, I'll go to the pool so a lot of the products are for showering and after showering at the gym!  First things first, bag! Now, I'm completely loyal to all things Nike and this is to be honest, the PERFECT size bag! It seems a little big but I can fit all of my gym gear, towel, and a complete outfit for after the gym. It's called the  Brasilia Small Duffel Bag  which I purchased at JD Sports for €30 which I find quite reasonable for a Nike product and for one of its size! It's got two pockets at the side. One is the size as you can see and the other actually has a bigger pocket so it extends into the main body of the bag. I put my beauty products in the smaller side pocket and dirty gym clothes in the bigger one for after my workout to keep it separate! Now, t...
