REVIEW: Pur Cosmetics Bare it All Foundation

Hello, my lovlies!!! I'm back with an honest af review. Perfect foundations are really hard to come by and and I am fortunate enough to be able to try out a few different foundations before purchasing to ensure it sits well on my skin and does exactly what I want it to do!
Going to work, on days when I'll be running around and still want to look super on fleek, on special occasions or nights out, I want something super full coverage. I have dehydrated skin but can become quite oily throughout the day so it's pretty difficult for me to find a foundation that doesn't end up getting super oily at some point.
I've tried SO MANY cruelty free foundations including high end ones from the likes of Kat Von D and Tarte (some of which I like and dislike) but I have yet to find something that keeps me matte throughout the day and doesn't slip and slide....
Until I tried Pur Cosmetics Bare it All Foundation!!! 
It's a 12 hour wear 4 in 1 foundation. I'm gonna include the paragraph from the Pur website as to how they describe it exactly here while bolding the important bits!!

"By combining high-quality skincare ingredients with complexion-perfecting pigments, this new 12-hour demi-matte foundation instantly perfects the look of skin while helping to correct problem areas over time. Its weightless and full coverage formula masks imperfections, pores and fine lines all day without cracking, separating or fading – fitting into your busy lifestyle by eliminating the need for touchups throughout the day. Formulated with agave extract, green tea, ginseng, B vitamins and PÜR’s proprietary Ceretin® Complex, this unique formula moisturizes and plumps the skin while stimulating the skin’s renewal process and fighting signs of aging. Helping you love the skin you’re in, it’s makeup that gives you the confidence to bare it all."

One thing I learned about Pur Cosmetics during training with the brand was that they are not only a cosmetic brand but a skincare brand as well!! Unlike most other cosmetic brands, their makeup is actually GOOD for your skin! You know how you're not supposed to put makeup over acne because it will irritate it? Not with Pur!! Their cosmetics will actually help heal your skin!

And as for my mature viewers, if you're wanting something to combat anti aging, this stuff does the trick as well!! The brand recommend you blend the foundation down your neck (which I always do for color matching reasons anyway) because there are components in it that fight signs of aging and can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles!! 
The '4 in 1' slogan of the brand basically means their products are a one step product. so when you buy a foundation, you're not only buying the foundation, you're buying a foundation, concealer, powder and skin care!! 
I highly recommend Pur foundations to customers that want a really low maintenance makeup routine but still want to look good! 
When I wear it, I really feel no need to apply concealer to my usual places or over where I have any acne visible. This being said, as an oily gal, I still like to apply a translucent power over it, especially when it comes to applying bronzer, blush and highlight. 
When it comes to work especially, I have yet to find a foundation that does not let oil seep through, or sweat for that matter!! 
And this foundation keeps me matte ALL DAY LONG even when I get home at 10pm after a loooooong day!
I am super obsessed with it. 
Also, would like to let you know that all Pur Cosmetics range are cruelty free, vegan, paraben free and gluten free. 
Don't believe me? See the results for yourself!! I'm including a pic below that is NO FILTER and me wearing the foundation, no concealer, translucent powder and the rest of my routine. 
I am wearing the shade Light here!
I want you all to keep in mind that on the cheek you see in the pic I have a lot of acne scars and pores and a small amount of acne on my chin so believe me when I say this stuff is LEGIT. 
It retails for $39.
For anyone in Europe, you can go to Marks and Spencer and get foundation matched and try it on!!! 

For anyone that is going to go try it, I want to warn you! It is a very thick consistency!!! A little bit goes a long way, I promise!! I've applied the foundation using various different methods and here are my suggestions. 
1. Damp Beauty Blender: this is my preferred way, I just think it's flawless and blends like a dream!!
2. Oval "Artis" brush: I'll attach a pic of the kinda brush I'm referring to here if you don't know what I'm talking about. You can get them from several different brands. I bought a CF 12 pc set off of Amazon for around 20 bucks so it all depends on your budget! These brushes are designed to really move the product around your face and buff it into the skin without leaving any brush strokes. 

3. Foundation brush: I use a foundation brush on clients for sanitary reasons and spend a good amount of time really buffing it into the skin until I've reached the flawless results I want! This method takes a bit more time but still works! 
Beauty blender is still my number one!! 
Let me know if any of you try it out and how you like it!! 
Thanks for reading! xx

    Emily, very good article.

    I have a question: can you suggest a moisturizer that has the highest SPF #? Thanks

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...
