Favourite Foundation Brush

Now I'm fairly new to the make-up brush game so I have only got experience with cheap ones from ebay and the beautiful Real Techniques collection. I've bought a few of the Real Techniques brushes individually but recently I got my hands on the 'Core Collection' set and have found my new favourite brush for applying foundation. Introducing the Buffing Brush! 

This brush applies foundation lightly and allows you to really buff it into the skin (hence the name!). I have tried a few different brushes for foundation in my time and because I really like my foundation to blend into my skin and look as if it isn't there I have never found a brush which really achieves this...until now. Below are all the face products I've used this brush with and have found brilliant results with them all!

Before I got the Buffing Brush I would use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush which I also really enjoy for applying foundation but I prefer the Buffing Brush now due to the lighter coverage it gives.

Like all brushes in the Real Techniques range you get great quality at a low price and that is why they are my go to whenever I'm in brush need. I would recommend these brushes to anyone, especially those who are starting out with brushes as they are so effortless to use and give great results everytime.

Anyone got any other favourite brushes?

Benefit Posie Tint Lip & Cheek Stain

My love for Benefit is nothing of a secret. From their quirky packaging to amazing products I really can't fault them and their 'Posie Tint' lip and cheek stain is no exception. 

I have quite a few of these mini's including another blush colour and 2 highlighters. Although I have always known they're great products it's only recently that I started using Posie Tine on a daily basis and fell in love with it. 

On the cheeks it gives the most natural appearance and beautiful flush of colour. Because it's a liquid it gives such a dewy and glowy finish that just gives the whole face a healthy look. I don't use it on the lips as although it feels like a nice lipgloss it just doesn't give much colour but the Bene Tint version does gives more colour for the lips as it's a deeper red. 

All in all I love this and think it's the perfect travel partner as it's small in size but big in performance!

M I A

Hey lovelies! 

I feel my posts have been lacking recently and I feel like I should address why. I am currently traveling around New Zealand and still have a week to go. It's been a crazy adventure so far which has left me exhausted by the end of every night. I've also managed to pick up a cold (typical!) so haven't been feeling too great either. Put these both together and you have no blogging going on. 

I do apologise for this and I have missed doing it but fear not...I have one free day out of my entire time in New Zealand coming up and I'm determined to get one up then so please bare with! Once my travels here are done I'm heading back to Australia and will be traveling around there before heading home. This may mean that posts will continue to be few and far spread for the next couple of months but once I'm home I'll be on it and bombarding you all with posts (not really...maybe just weekly?!) 

Thanks for reading

No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

Let me introduce you to a special little friend who is known as my favourite drugstore foundation...No7 'Beautifully Matte' foundation. I am a big fan of No7 for both their skincare and make-up and this product did not disappoint. 

A couple of years ago they introduced a new skin matching gadget which allowed customers to go in and get shown their perfect foundation. From colour to formula they have such a wide variety that I truly believe there's something for everyone. 

I have rather oily skin which can sometimes be a bit combination but my main problem is the shine, so I was looking for a matte foundation and that is exactly what I found. The Beautifully Matte foundation is the most matte foundation I've ever found and is medium to full coverage. I have it in 'Cool Ivory' and the colour is also the best match I've ever found that even sometimes I wonder if I actually put make-up on or whether I'm just having a good skin day (answer is always I put foundation on). I think the thing I like most about this product is that although it is matte and does keep shine at bay it still lets a glow come through which gives such a natural appearance. 

I always think No7 gets over looked when it comes to make-up but if you're looking for great quality products which are made to suit your needs then it's definitely worth checking out! It's very reasonably priced and more often than not there's vouchers in Boots giving you money off- bonus! 

As you can see I'm close to finishing this product which just shows how much I love it as I'm definitely someone who starts a products but gets distracted by others and constantly switch them up.
