Current Drugstore Foundation Favourites

I always find it hard to find a foundation that I like and matches my skin tone. 
I hate testing in store, I find it cringey, and very messy to open up the little testing pots, which always seem to be covered in crap. 
However, recently I have been catching up on some beauty bloggers, and really 'stealing' ideas from them on which foundations to try on etc, mainly focusing on those who have the same skin tone as me, so I can just buy their shade. Risky I know, but luckily for me its paid off!

The two that I have been loving are both Rimmel, and both amazing!
The first is the Match Perfection, one I feel you will have all heard of. I love this, its so dewy and light. It leaves your skin looking so radiant and healthy without making your skin look cakey. 
The colour range for this is pretty good, as there is a few too choose from if you're of a light to medium skin tone. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin, as I feel it would just slide off and make your face look shinier than you want. 
This foundation is so build-able and a great affordable price of £6.99.
The next is Rimmel's newest foundation; the Lasting Finish 25 hour. I love this, I have only used it once, but I can already tell it will be a staple in my make-up bag. 
This is a full coverage foundation, that does stay on for quite a long time, even through exercise. I love that this is skin perfecting, balancing out any imperfections and again it leaves your face really glowing and looking healthy. 
This is priced at £7.99, a great price for a new product, and a little bit really does go a long way!
I would 100% recommend this this new product out, if you're on the look for a new foundation.


What's your current foundation fave?

First Mini-Haul from Revolution MakeUp London

I have seen a lot of fuss about this new drug store brand, Revolution Make-up recently, and was very pleased to see my local Superdrug had started to stock it. 
This brand has been all over twitter and Instagram (I will leave links below) and has been talked about by quite a few infamous bloggers. 
I only picked up a couple of bits, as I was in a rush, and just picked things that caught my eye, however I will be going back as I am desperate to try one of their eye shadow palettes, that look amazing. 
 The first thing I got was a nail varnish in the shade Adore. This is just a really cute purple colour, that I thought would look lovely in the transition from Summer to Autumn. This is quite a deep colour and goes on really well in two coats, leaving a lovely shine, this was £1 and they have a variety of other colours to choose from. 
Next were two eye shadow's, again, I could've grabbed more but didn't really have the time. I picked up a silvery- blue shade, called Frozen (how cute?) and this reminds me of MAC's Electra but for a tenth of the cost. I love this, as an inner corner highlight, or to use with a smoky eye for a more dramatic effect. The next is in the shade Insomnia and is just an amazing glittery dark plum colour, again I thought this would look amazing in Autumn, and Winter too, as its dark but still adds a little sparkle to your eyes. These were both £1 each, and again there are many to choose from. 
Lastly was a cute little blush, in the shade Treat and is just a really cute light orange- coral colour. This is quite orange toned, but looks great on the tops of the cheeks, to give a little colour, perfect for creating that rosy winter cheek, without sticking to the generic pink. This was also £1 is definitely worth the money.
I love the packaging of this new range, its just simple and classic, and good sizes for travelling with, and the best part... If you loose an item, or break something, it doesn't cost a fortune to replace! 


What have you tried from this range?
