Foundation Fantastic

Happy Easter, 
I hope you are all having a wonderful sunday<3 

I thought i would do a quick sneak peak into the foundations i have and swap between, admitted i do use BB cream a lot but i did not think that really counted as a foundation! so on with the show! 





(from left to right: NARS Sheer Glow, Rimmel Wake Me Up, Mac Face and Body and Bobbie Brown Skin Foundation)


NARS SHEER GLOW: I heard so much about this foundation that i just had to go and treat myself and see what it was all about. I have it in the shade Mont Blanc. Ide say it gives light to medium coverage, but it can be built up. I have to say i think the shade is  smidgen to light for me and i do like to mix it with a creme bronzer i have to give me some colour. (I bought my NARS SHEER GLOW from Space NK for £30)

RIMMEL WAKE ME UP: Tanya Burr (http://www.tanyaburr.co.uk) raves about this foundation and i was in the market for a cheap but good quality foundation and thought ide give it a try, for a while i did not like it but more recently i have really enjoyed using it. It gives a lovely duey finish and is light and fresh on the skin, i have it in the shade Ivory 100.
(Purchased from Superdrug while it was on offer for around £6 i think!)

MAC FACE AND BODY: This was my first high end foundation i ever got and i loved it to bits. Its water based so is lovely and light on the skin and is so easy to apply, however it is a light coverage. I dont tend to use it to much now but its good for covering blemishes on the body if im going out and theres a bruise on my leg or some redness on my arms, you get the jist! (I bought my MAC FACE AND BODY a while ago and i think it was £25 then....and now it is £26.50 for the 120ml which is the one i have in shade C1)

BOBBIE BROWN SKIN FOUNDATION: I bought this kind of on a peer pressure whim by the lady at the Bobbie Brown counter, it looked nice on when at the counter but i just could not for the life of me get on with it for months it would always look cakey and patchy and just not cool or good whatsoever, so it sat in my draw, me reluctant to get rid of something i paid quite a heafty amount for, and then today  on a whim i decided ide give it another go i found it okay if i patted it on with a makeup sponge and the rubbed into my skin with my fingers! i guess somethings you just got to keep at!! 
(I believe this was around the £30 mark as well! and i have it in shade 02 Sand)
