Hi guys!
So this is me back to blogging after SO
LONG! Life had got in the way and now with exams over, I can finally remove
most of my blog posts from my drafts and post them up!
Firstly,
Although I have many things to blog; from skincare to
particular posts regarding my sister’s wedding as well as products, I have
decided to add very different posts completely unrelated to beauty. This
regards food recipes (if you follow me on Snapchat you’ll understand what I am
talking about!) and also just experiences and perspectives.
However, this post is COMPLETELY beauty
related and this particular product genuinely CHANGED MY LIFE. In fact, my
whole make-up routine has transformed.
Although I am still very big on MAC
products, I decided to experiment other brands. My number one foundation would
always be MAC studio fix. Although this foundation never gave me bad skin as
many other people I know complain about, I did start to feel this was too heavy
for me. As I am getting older, my style of make-up has changed from layering on
make-up to a simple and clean look. For a very long time I would hide my beauty
marks on my face under layers of foundation until I was approached by a few
friends and told that my natural features should be complimented and not
hidden.
BOBBI BROWN INTENSIVE SKIN SERUM FOUNDATION
This Bobbi Brown Serum foundation I came
across changed absolutely everything! FIRSTLY, it contains very natural
products such as lychee and mushroom extracts which are my favourites! This
acts as a repairing serum as well as a lightweight foundation. I usually layer
this on if I want a heavy coverage.
As the ‘strobing’ or dewy effect is really in
trend now, this foundation is genuinely
the most dewy I have come across. Not
only does it hydrate my skin, but it gives my skin tone a warm and bright
complexion as opposed to looking pasty. This is a huge thing for me as
previously I have mentioned I am prone to extremely dry skin. HOWEVER- this foundation is a serum too and
therefore can tend to move a lot on the skin, therefore it requires a lot of
coverage and securely set with a powder or even a setting spray.
I genuinely cannot recommend this enough! For a foundation, it is pricey and retails at
£39, but it worth every penny! This is
my everyday and special occasion foundation. Thanks to this foundation, I do
not touch any other foundation these days. It leaves a very silky texture on
the skin with anti-ageing benefits as well as SPF 40 which prevents skin
damage.
HOW TO USE
Firstly, shake the bottle well and then
pinch the bulb at the top of the bottle to release the serum foundation onto
the skin. Afterwards use a foundation brush or beauty blender to blend out the
foundation.
THIS FOUNDATION WORKS WELL WITH…
MAC- GOLD DEPOSIT HIGHLIGHTER- I use this
tanned, glossy powder highlighter as a blusher on my cheekbones which adds more
warmth to the look.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY – DOLCE VITA- Eyeshadow
pallete I have posted in my blog previously
YSL Bronzer (for contouring) - This
unfortunately has been discontinued, however the Smashbox bronze Lights Deep
Matte Bronzer works just as well.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading my first post
after AGES! Do give me feedback and comments! Thank you for reading!
