Review: BareMinerals foundation

Bonjour ! 

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up the BareMinerals foundation while I was in Sephora.  I heard a lot of great things about this product and I had never tried a mineral foundation before so I decided to give it a go :).

As some of you may or may not know I have very dry and sensitive skin so I usually stay away from powder on my face but this foundation does not leave a powdery finish at all. It leaves a healthy looking glow to the skin which just looks gorgeous. I was pleasantly surprised by this product :). I think it would look very nice on people who don't have much blemishes and I would say it gives a light to medium coverage but you can build it to the coverage that you desire. 

On the BareMinerals website, it claims to be an " award-winning mineral foundation that gives you all the flawless coverage you want with a no-makeup look and feel that lasts up to eight hours. Our groundbreaking formula is clinically proven to promote clearer, healthier-looking skin." I totally agree with the description but the only "con" I would have to say is that I chose the wrong color so it's a bit dark looking on me :/. If you are wondering, I use it with the Sigma F50. 

So yes, that's my review. If any of you tried it, tell me what were your thoughts on it ? I hope you all had an amazing day :)

Review: YSL rouge volupt lipstick

Bonjour ! 

There's nothing I love more than wearing a bright red lipstick in the summer. The YSL rouge volupt is one of my favorite's for that. I have it in shade 17, it's a very intense red when applied directly but you can also play with it and make it softer by applying a tiny bit in the center of your lips and then spreading it out with your finger so it gives a soft pink stain. 

I must say that the texture of this lipstick is lovely and creamy. It glides on really well when applied and it is very moisturizing. It also contains SPF which is always a plus. 

It is not only a very good product but the packaging is also amazing. It's very chic and elegant and looks very luxurious. There is also a little mirror at the top of the lipstick, I never really use it but it is a cute thing to add. 

Price wise, I got mine for 31,90€ at Sephora which is quite expensive for a lipstick. But I would definitely buy the other shades because the formulation and the packaging are just really good. 

On that note, hope you are having an amazing summer.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation

Bonjour !

I treated myself to the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation last December simply because it's my favorite makeup product to splurge on when I have money !!

So, first of all I have very dry and sensitive skin, eczema prone actually so finding a good foundation that won't make my skin flakey or cakey is very hard. That's why I tend to buy light to medium coverage foundations that give a luminous glow. Luckily I don't suffer with spots or acne so I don't use foundation to cover anything but just to give a nice flawless look to my face. 

Anyways, on the website the Skin foundation claims to be " A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup. This long-wearing formula evens tone, minimizes the appearance of pores, conceals imperfections, and offers broad spectrum UV protection. Its hydrating technology leaves skin feeling cushioned, comfortable, and clean. Ideal for all skin types. " I have to say that I totally agree with the description, it does feel light on the skin, it is long wearing and very hydrating. 

Packeging wise, I must say is very good, it's a small bottle easy to travel with, the foundation comes with a pump which is always a plus. The way I apply this product varies, somedays I use my fingers, other days I use the Mac 187 or the Mac 116, I even use the Sigma SS190 sometimes. 

Overall, I have to say it's the best foundation I have ever tried for my skin, it really is amazing for very dry and sensitive skin. It's not the cheapest ( 41 euros ), but if you have the money I strongly recommend you try it !
