Foundation Review | Essence All About Matt Foundation Review
 |
| Essence All About Matt Foundation shade 50 Caramel and 60 Mahogony |
Mwah!!!!
I really thought that I had done a review on the Essence All About Matt Foundation hey, because this is my second bottle (tube) and I will be repurchasing another soon.
Here is why.
The claim:
Essence claims that the foundation is mattifying, oil-free gives a flawless and radiant finish, covers imperfections without clogging the pores. Essence also says that the formulation is long-lasing and moisturizing.
The product:
The foundation comes in a white tube and has a red lid, the foundation shade is also visible on the bottle my foundation shade is Caramel, and I use Mahogany to contour. The foundation has a slightly runny constancy and does not have a strong over powering smell

My experience:
I first got the Essence All About Matt Foundation as part of a PR package from Essence last year. Since it claimed to be mattifying I was really concerned because I have dry skin and all things matte end up ashy and cakey. So when I tried the foundation I was really surprised with the finish that it gave me. The foundation has a really good medium to full coverage and for a drugstore foundation I’m really impressed. The foundation does what it claims in the bottle and that is long-lasting and moisturizing, for a foundation that is oil-free I wonder how it achieves that.
My verdict:
The foundation is affordable, lasts a long time I just wish that it can stop transferring everywhere but with a setting spray it lasts. Great job on this one Essence!!! just bring us more shades on this range okay.

New In | Yardley
 |
| New In | Yardley Foundation, Eyeshadow Palette |
So the "NEW IN" features here on the blog are like mini hauls cause I never really do hauls.
About two weeks ago I bought the Yardley foundation, eyeshadow palette and nail-polishes because this year I just want to step-out of my comfort zone and try new products and products that I really are foundations the higher the coverage the better.
To be honest though my local mall which is Jabulani Mall in Soweto does not carry a lot of variety in make up products, let me tell you quickly what their Edgars has Yardley, Revlon, an old selection of Rimmel products, Black Opel products that need updating aswell, and their in-house Design brand, that's it LOL I think that it's time I can malls and start going to Maponya Mall now.
I swatched and played around with the products and I will share my final look and review on Friday.

Avon’s Flawless Coverage Cream-to-Powder Review
Happy Foundation Friday, today I have an awesome post for
you. I know I haven’t been reviewing foundations as much as I would like to but
this spot “meaning Foundation Friday’s “is here to stay. I’m reviewing the Avon’s
Flawless Coverage Cream-to-Powder Foundation which retails for R169 but I
bought mine for R99 through an Avon Representative. Let us see how the
foundation does.
I must say that it is pretty hard to order a foundation
through a booklet, so I just ordered the shade “caramel” just to be safe.
The foundation gives a very good medium coverage and a convincing
full coverage. The foundation has warm undertones and it is perfect for my skin
shade. The Avon’s Flawless Coverage Cream-to-Powder Foundation has a creamy
texture and then once applied it turn into a powder. This foundation is great
for people with a combination type skin as the T-zone will remain matte the
entire day. I have dry skin and because the foundation turns into powder it
cakes in certain places in my skin and does not give me that flawless coverage and
I always want.
Overall it’s a good foundation because it gives the benefit
of a liquid and powder all in one. The foundation is great and leaves my skin
feeling flawless. If you have dry skin use a good moisturizer, and if you have
oily skin use a mattifying primer.
Price: 4/5
Packaging: 4/5
Repurchase: Yes
Overall: 4/5

Review | Almay Truly Lasting Foundation
What would Fridays be without a #foundationfriday post and
to think that this is my first foundation review for the year it is truly
unfair to me and you. The weather in Johannesburg also known as Joburg is still
cloudy and drizzly. How is your Friday going?
Today I bring to you a foundation review that I wanted to do
for a while, but I had a love/hate relationship with the foundation because
some days it will apply good and others not so well; plus I like to really test
out products before reviewing them.
Let’s get down to business.
*Almay says that skincare meets makeup, oil-free formula
offers up to 16 hours of smudge-free, flawless coverage no matter what the
weather plus the foundation won’t clog pores.
My experience: I must say that I love bottles that have
pumps and that always play a huge role when it comes to my buying
decisions*true story*.
When I apply the foundation I make sure that I
use a foundation brush as it has a slight matte finish texture hence “oil-free
formula” plus when you have dry skin like me make sure that you moisturise
properly plus wear a primer that will not dry you out.
SHOP HERE : ZANDO.COM
The foundation applies smoothly, it is buildable you can
achieve a great medium coverage and a good full coverage. I found myself
reaching for it more this summer as my dry skin tends to be more forgiving
during these periods, and we will need to see how well it does in Winer.
P.S. My next post will be showing you how the foundation
looks like on my skin…
*The Almay foundation was kindly sent to me but the opinions
are my own.

Beauty | Revlon Colorstay Foundation Review
Liquid foundations are my favourite and the *Revlon
Colorstay Foundation has been my go to
foundation for years and today I’m finally reviewing it. Many Bloggers and YouTubers have been raving on how great the foundation is and I also can’t seem to fault
it, let us check why.
Revlon promises a Longwearing coverage with Time Release
Technology and a lightweight formula that won’t cake, fade, or rub off.
Specifically made for combination or oily skin to control oil absorption and
shine. Your look stays flawless
throughout the day.
I usually apply liquid foundations using my fingers and the
Colorstay Foundation is no exception, I moisuturize then I apply my
primer. The moisturizing and primer process are very important because
they make the foundation last longer. Even though it won’t look as fresh after
12 hours it will still be great for you after 8 hours at work provided you are not
sweating and all.
Things I like about the foundation.
The price because it retails for R239 but I
always wait for it to go on sale because you can usually get at discount of up
to R50 off.
The shades in my range, I don’t need to mix it
with a darker or lighter shades to get my perfect shade (I'm shade 013 Caramel 1 )
The foundation is medium and it is build-able.
Managed to also snap a shot of it
so that you can see how it looks like on me. Have you tried the Revlon
ColorStay Foundation? What foundation have you been using the longest?
