L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation

I've been using the L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint foundation for about a month now which I think is sufficient enough time to properly test it out. It's certainly made a good impression on me! It's marketed as being the only foundation which is 'Lighter Than Water' for a 'Zero Make-up Feel' and that's exactly what attracted it to me.

It really is different from any other foundation I've tried, it's consistency is so light that when applied it immediately starts to sink in to the skin so you really have to be quick to blend it in. I find it works best if you do small patches of the face at a time otherwise you are left with darker areas of foundation which are difficult to blend out. 
It  also doesn't come with a pump, instead you have to shake the bottle before each application as the foundation separates. Then with your finger over the top of the bottle you tip it upside down to get a small amount on your finger. 

It's incredibly lightweight and feels as if you are wearing no foundation at all which I love. I don't know about you but I really hate the feeling of layers of make up on my face. It sits well on my oily t zone when powdered and is the only foundation I've tried which doesn't sit as an oily layer, particularly around my nose, by the end of the day.

Unfortunately it doesn't give very much coverage so if you have problem skin then this foundation is not for you. It does however cover redness very well but it can be layered up to provide more of a medium coverage especially when paired up with a good concealer. If you have some dryness on the skin it can sit in these areas but I found if I applied moisturiser before hand I never had this problem. 

I wouldn't say it's especially long lasting either, it lasts around 6 hours before you might want to do some touch ups but it's worth it for the light weight feeling of the foundation on the skin through out the day. It's definitely a foundation for those of you who prefer light coverage and a matte finish to the skin.

Beauty Picks For Autumn 2013

Autumn for me means a change of my every day make up picks and I'm sure for most of you it's the same. The clocks go back, the days get darker and so does my make up, I love going for rich berry colours, purples and golds. You can get a way with being slightly more daring without going too over the top. I put together a few picks from across the web of products I own/want to own.

• Firstly, the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. This has to be the best mascara under £5 I've ever tried and it's currently only £4.50 on Asos which is a bargain for such a great mascara.

• The L'Oreal Nude magique Eau De Teint Fondation is just about the lightest foundation you can get. It feels as if you are wearing nothing at all which is a huge plus point for the colder months when you're already wearing enough layers, you don't need another on your face.

• I think I'll be going for more of a darker red/pink blush for Autumn/Winter and the Bourjois Paris Cream Blush in Sweet Cherry looks perfect for the job.

• TopShop's lipstick in 'Beguiled' is a favourite amongst many beauty bloggers and it's not hard to see why. It's a perfect plum red shade, a great colour that works well with any complexion.

• The Bourjois Intense Smokey Eyeshadow Trio in ' Rose Twist' I was drawn to simply because the colours looked so wearable. A mix of purples and a light gold, I can just imagine wearing these colours on New Years Eve.  

• Finally, the L'Oreal Super Liner Blackbuster I definitely plan on buying, an eyeliner that makes applying eyeliner 10 times easier, yes please!
