Dior Forever Fluid Foundation

I got this as a sample from out of a Harpers Bazaar magazine. I have a monthly subscription as I absolutely love how they are filled of fabulous clothes and advertisements for make-up and beauty products that are all out of my price range, if only money grew on trees ay! 

I tried the sample out of this foundation and actually fell in love with it, as i am normally used to high street brands this was a whole new world for me. My auntie knew how much i loved this foundation and surprised me with it last christmas.

Baring in mind that i use this every day and i still have that same bottle is pretty amazing, all you need is one pump of this and it covers your whole face! 

I doubt i will ever go back to high-street brands again as this has lasted for over 6 months and i believe i still have half the bottle left. Maybe it's better to just splash out on a high-end foundation rather than settling for the cheaper stuff, let me know what you think?

I swatched my hand to show you girls about how lovely the consistency is, its so smooth and just glides onto the skin so lovely. It gives such an even finish and if you get the colour just right for your skin tone, it looks flawless. With me also having freckles, i do like them to be covered a little but it's also nice to see them but not so prominently and this just does the trick.

Hats off to the guys at Dior, I really do love this!

Let me know about what you think about if you think high-end foundations are really cracked up to be, and if so whats your favourite one?

make-up bag staples

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation . Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara for a full lash effect  . Benefit's High Beam . Benefit's CORALista Blusher . MAC Brow Set . Maybelline Eye Studio Drama Gel liner . Benefit's Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer .

These are the items that have been staples in my make-up bag for a couple of weeks. I have had all of these products for a while and I don't know why I didn't pick them up a lot cause I haven't been able to put them down.

Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation has been hyped up an awful lot over the past couple of months and I can now see what all of the fuss was about. I am in the colour 100 Ivory and I still find this colour to be quite dark on my  complexion even though I didn't think I had gotten so pale, this sounds like a good excuse to get a holiday booked? I cannot say a bad word about this foundation as the finish is dewy and I think I look all glowing when i've got it on and as you can tell, i've nearly finished it.

Yves Said Laurent Luxurious Mascara for a Full Lash Effect is a mascara I picked up whilst I was coming back from holiday as it was in a packet with the touche éclat and i'm so glad I picked this up and I will end up repurchasing it. It gives my lashes volume and fullness, it is also a dream to remove with any make-up remover/cleanser. I've seen good things about the SHOCKING mascara has anyone tried it, is it worth getting?

Benefit's High Beam. This I have been using for years, Benefit was one of my first "high end" make-up brands and I just have to keep on buying more and more of them. As some days I don't wear foundation because I rarely get blemishes I apply this with my daily moisturiser and it makes my face look such luminance. I also use this for my cheekbone and brow bone and I can't fault this again, another brilliant product.

Benefit's CORALista is yet another make-up product that I can never put down, especially in summer as I aren't blessed with olive toned skin when i've been on holiday this blusher is just so perfect. Even in the winter I believe it still looks amazing and rosy.

MAC brow set before this I had never used a gel as such to keep my unruly brows controlled and I won't look back now as it is just so perfect, however it is just a brow set and i'm sure there are more on the market for cheaper as I think a clear mascara would do just the same job.

Maybelline Eye Studio Drama Gel eyeliner is absolutely amazing, I always found it difficult to use liquid eyeliner and most of the time it wouldn't dry quick enough so I used to end up with a nice line of eyeliner under by brow which isn't fun when your in a rush. I have repurchased it because I believe this is one of the best gel eyeliners on the market and it is at a reasonable price compared to bobbi browns and MAC. 

Benefit's Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer is another Benefit product I hear you shout! Yes, I have so many different concealers but this one is just perfect as it does what it says on the tin it really is industrial strength the coverage is medium- high which I think all concealers should be as you are trying to either cover up those dark circles or blemishes. 

I am going to make this a weekly/ monthly thing let me know how often you would like to hear about my make-up bag staples?

Thank you
