L'Oreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation Review



This foundation has been raved about all over social media, it has been out in the US for a while but only just hit stores here in the UK. When I saw it in my local boots I just had to snap it up!!

I didn't have to much trouble matching my shade, I am in the lightest shade 01 Porcelain and there are 7 shades in total.

The foundation is described as having a dewy glow and normally I do prefer to have a matte finish foundation because my skin can get quite oily through out the day.

I have been testing this foundation over the last week, I haven't changed anything else about my make up, same primer, concealer and powder, just changing and trying different application processes.


My preferred way of applying this foundation is to start with the sponge applicator it comes with and then go in with my beauty blender just to make sure its all blended in. If I need to I will use my beauty blender to add a little more coverage. I don't like how it applies with a brush, I feel like it just doesn't blend very nicely into my skin.

It has a medium coverage and you can build it up a little bit but not a lot, depending on how my skin is, it can still show a little bit of redness through but sometimes I don't mind as it gives me a more natural look.

The foundation does give a nice healthy glow to the skin and doesn't stick to any dry patches.The one thing I really like is that it lasts on my skin through out the day, it doesn't break up on the skin or move around, and it has been put the test as it is really hot and humid at the moment and it still stays in place.

The packaging is great and has a really nice sized mirror, one thing I was really worried about was that it might dry up in the packaging but the seal is really tight on it. I would however like to be able to see how much is left of the product so I know if I am going to run out, but that is me being picky.

Over all I really love this foundation and is definitely going to be my new everyday foundation for the summer.

Rating: 4.5/5

If you have tried this product let me know in the comments what your thoughts are??

Mini Boots Haul



Does this ever happen to anyone else, I pop into Boots to pick up some essential (this time it was for Shampoo and Conditioner) and  just browse the make up section just to see if there is anything new and end up buying things you didn't really need?? I do it all the time which is why I try and avoid going into Boots unless I have to, I have no impulse control when it comes to Make Up.

I haven't tried all the products I bought yet but will just show you the bits and pieces I picked up.

Rimmel

This is my third tube of this lipstick, I love it!! Its applies nicely and sits nicely on the lips. I love this colour, it is a Pink Nude. I have tried a couple of other colours from this range but this is my all time favourite.

Revlon
 Revelon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour in Devotion £8.99

The only reason I picked this up was because it was on offer, It was £2 off so thought I would pick it up.

I haven't tried it on my lips yet, but I have swatched it, the colour is a mauve nude. The texture feels nice a creamy and the applicator is a really nice shape to hug the lips for even application.

Soap and Glory

I haven't tried this yet other that to swatch it on the back of my hand and it is a lot more sheer that I though it would be.

The colour also wasn't what I expected and is a lot more orange nude than pick.

But I absolutely love the packaging and looks really good amongst my lipstick collection.


L'Oreal


I will be doing a separate review on this product so not going to go into a lot of detail.

But this has only just come into my Boots store and have been desperate to try it since I saw that it was launched in the US, I saw so many US based YouTubers talking about this product so I can't wait to put this to the test. 

So check back next week for my review!!


I also picked up a couple of different types of hair clips, they come in handy for when I am trying to style my hair. I can't be without them.

So that was my Mini Haul. If you want a review on any of the lipsticks let me know, I already have one planned for the L'Oreal foundation, I just need to test it out a bit more to I can make up my mind.

Leave me comment and let me know what products were in your last mini haul or your opinion on the products I picked up.

Don't forget to check back next week when I will hopefully have my review  posted!!
