my foundations

Hey guys hope your all doing well, today I thought I would do a post on my current foundations.

1. L'oreal Paris Lumi Magique Foundation.

Now before I delve right into this foundation I have to tell you all unfortunately that they have discontinued this  item which is a shame. 

I don't know why I decided to purchase this foundation I was just in boots one day browsing and thought why not give it ago, Its reasonably priced  and have always known L'oreal to be a good brand of products. 

This foundation retailed at 10.99 so not to bad for those on a budget as your getting 30ml of product and a little goes a long way as they say!.

This foundation is a light coverage foundation I wouldn't say you need a lot of it, its lightly infused to give you that subtle glow from within, which is great if you have slightly dull looking skin and its also providing you with an SPF of 18 I know this isn't a high factor but its defiantly better than having non included at all.

Even though this foundation is no longer in the shops there are still plenty of them out there that you can try.

Moving onto slightly more higher end foundations that you can still purchase.

ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK 

I have had this foundation now for a couple of years I was in Jenners in Edinburgh and decided I am going to pop to the counter and ask for them to colour match me and see what the foundation is like before I even think of buying this item, as its 30 0dd pounds so if its not for me then its a lot of money to be wasting and all so it might not look good or be what I am looking for, and my confession with a lot of my items is that I have heard about them and just want to have it in my collection ha.

So I got colour matched at the counter and I was matched to shade 3.5 I asked if It was possible to have a sample as to test out how I felt with the product as with some counters there not keen or wont even give you a sample, but if you don't ask you wont get is the saying!!.

I decided to do more research into this foundation and a lot of make up artists said it looks amazing on the skin and gives you a radiance but not to much of one and looks amazing in photos.  

For the price of this foundation which is around 32 pounds I personally think its been over hyped I don't notice a huge amount of a luminous look from this product.

CHANEL LES BEIGES

This is my first ever Chanel foundation and I am over the moon with it not only cause its Chanel and I love Chanel but it does what It says on the bottle.

As I have always said from the beginning within my posts don't feel shy about going to department stores or  counters and asking plenty of questions and advice on products and seeing about trying on stuff and trying for samples. I know people and have friends who are just not into doing this at all as to shy or feel awkward to ask, if you don't ask you don't get as the saying goes and lets face it whats the worst that will happen, they will say sorry but we don't have a sample or we don't give them out.

If you really are interested in the particular brand and want that product this wont put you off and try some on your face in store and go around see what its like and make a decision from there, happy days!!.

Now we all know that Chanel do stunning packaging and iconic looking items so naturally there was going to be a high end price for all there items.

But not only does this foundation look stunning but it also smells amazing too, if your not into much of a scent within your products then this item might not be for you, its not an offensive scent its a light and subtle fruity scent and personally I like the fresh scent.

I got lucky and did mange to get a sample of this foundation as well as having the foundation applied so I could see how it felt and was going to react to my skin.

I am shade no.20 and this foundation is a healthy glow foundation with SPF 30 which is fantastic the higher the better, it retails in the 30 pound range so its high end. You get 30mls and it comes in a beautiful thick glass bottle with a pump and the black lid with the classic Chanel logo.

It feels so nice and smooth and light weight on the skin which is what I wanted I feel like there is enough of a healthy glow without having to over do it and add loads of product to achieve this look.

I would defiantly recommend this more than the Armani foundation. If you want to see how it works for you head to a counter and get colour matched and a sample you wont regret it.

NARS SHEER GLOW

This is a cult classic out there within the beauty world, and I finally got my hands on it. In November when on holiday I popped into space nk and got colour matched for this foundation I wanted to see if the hype was worth it. This item again is a higher end foundation and retails at 32 pounds, you get 30 ml without a pump which is a pain in the butt as you then have to decanter it onto back of your hand or directly onto your make up tool. But don't fret as you can purchase the pump on its own for around 3 pounds, I do think for 32 pounds though this should be already within the packaging of this item.

I am the shade Santa Fe and I got myself a sample and used it to death and totally loved it, I can hands down say this is one of my fav ones And possibly going to replace all the ones in this blog post once they have been used up.

I looks amazing on the skin and feels fantastic.

I don't want to write much more on it as there is a post on just this foundation on the blog so you can check that out.

These are the four main foundations within my collection and If you find this blog post interesting then fantastic and I am always looking to try out new products, if there is any that you can recommend then please drop me a comment and I will look forward to reading them.

Have a fantastic day whatever your getting up to and love to all.
