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.

Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam

This product, was one I was very sceptical to try, I used to have the dream matte mouse as a foundation when I was about 15 and just starting out with make-up, so I wondered if this was going to be similar, but better (if that makes sense?)

I love this foundation, Its so light and blend-able, its not high coverage, so is great if you want a lighter make-up look, or you're on holiday and want slight coverage. 

It doesn't feel cakey when its on, or clog on the skin, it glides on smoothly and blends really well with either a brush or your fingers. 

The shade range is great, and is suits skin tones well, to give a natural finish, however I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin, as it dries it out further. 

I went for 020 Cameo, because I had that colour when I had the Dream Matte Mouse, which suited me very well. 

I also like that this has a pump, so you don't lose a lot of the product in a glass bottle where it pours out!

The Airfoam is very affordable, and does everything it says; gives a nude perfect finish, using its air infused foundation techniques. 

I would 100% recommend this, if you're starting out with make up, or just want a light coverage foundation, this is perfect for you!

Daisy Dream

So Marc Jacobs, have done it again... brought out a new fragrance that I have fallen in love with.

Daisy Dream is a gorgeous new Eau de toilette perfume, perfect for lighter weather. 

This is a light, sweet, fruity fragrance, that although is all these things, its very strong smelling, and last's on the skin. Usually with light fragrances they don't last long and often fade quickly. But with Daisy Dream, this is definitely not the case. 

To me this smells of strawberries, and is just beautiful, I would use this as an everyday fragrance, or if I was going out for a meal or on a date (its perfect for dates).

The bottle and packaging, is just so classic, and elegant. With its pale blue box, and liquid, adorned with cute white and gold daisy's, this is the perfect addition to any dressing table. 

Not only has Marc Jacobs brought the fragrance out, he has also given us some extra's too, in the form of a shower gel and a body cream, perfect for gifts or a little treat for yourself.

And the best part is the pricing, its so affordable.
