The BEST DRUGSTORE Foundations For OILY SKIN!

08:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

So, it's taken me a very long time to test out foundations which work out for my awkward, problematic skin. I've been testing out products for the past 4 years, trying to find a foundation which doesn't irritate, and does exactly what it says, and have tested out almost 100 FOUNDATIONS!!!

If you don't know what my skin type is like, here you go...
It's very oily (forehead, sides of my nose and sides of cheeks), i can get dry patches on my cheeks in the winter, I have very sensitive skin, a lot of redness and blemishes & acne.
So, basically, I have a lot of problems with my skin, and there's a lot a foundation needs to do to actually work for me.

I feel like that I've finally managed to narrow it down to my Top 5 Best Foundations for Oily Skin. Also, I haven't had a problem with these breaking me out either.

There's one foundation on this list where I have heard of there people breaking out from it, but even with my sensitive skin, I haven't had any reaction.

These foundations work amazingly with my oily skin, and help to control my oils for at least 5 hours. Also, one of these foundations keeps me oil-free ALL DAY, I never get oily from it.

To see my Top 5 Drugstore Foundation for my skin, check out the video above.

I go into detail about why I like these foundations, how long they last for, their price and more.

Two of these foundations aren't available in the UK at the moment, but you can have them shipped over from Amazon or Ebay.

If there are any foundations you love for your skin, let me know in the comments section, as I love seeing new recommendations!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Review: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on Oily Skin!

01:00 0 Comments



Hi Guys,
Recently, I tested out the Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on my channel for a First Impression. This foundation has beed RAVED about all over youtube - I don't think I've even seen one negative review. 


The things that made me really want to test it out are the super affordable price point (it retails for $5-$6), and I fell in love with it when I watched a review from Casey Holmes on her channel about this foundation. Casey has SUPER oily skin, and I have very oily-combination skin. I though. "If it works for her, it'll work for me'.


As I was in Florida on my holiday, I decided to have a look around Walmart to find my shade. And I have to tell you, this was super tricky - they literally sold out of every shade every time I'd go to Walmart! So, I managed to pick up two shades, which aren't exactly toy my perfect shade, but I thought that I could just mix them together if they're not the perfect shade. 
The shades I picked up were Soft Ivory (Light Warm) and Buff Bisque (Light-Medium Neutral). Because I self tan, I knew that I would need the Light-Medium Warm, however I literally couldn't find this ANYWHERE! 


If you don't already know, my skin type is Oily-Combination Skin, very oily t-zone with redness and blemishes, acne prone. 


The foundation didn't have any claims when it came to coverage, lasting power, texture or which skin type it was for, so I basically went into this First Impression blind, with no knowledge of how it would perform. The packaging only stated that it doesn't have any flashback or white cast in photo, so is perfect for photoshoots and selfie lighting. 


They feel and look exactly the same on the skin, and the only difference really being that the Estee Lauder is waterproof and doesn't budge for over 14 hours, and the Wet n Wild starts to come off after 9 hours of wear. 


Wet n Wild Photo Focus is an incredible foundation for only $5! (I purchased it for $4.97 from Walmart.) Check out my First Impression video on this foundation above. 


I tested out this theory by using my iPhone with the flash on and off. And I think it looks great not ways! There's not really much of a difference, however the flash makes everything look perfect and glowy. 



WITH FLASH VS WITHOUT FLASH

So, I tried out this foundation in my first impression, and I was BLOWN AWAY! I feel as though this foundation is a drugstore dupe for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I have this foundation, have been using it for years, and it's my holy grail. 

BEFORE & AFTER

PROS:
Very affordable - retails for $5-$6.
Long lasting - still looked flawless after 9 hours of wear.
Great for oily skin.
Didn't break me out. 
Didn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Looks HD, and evens out skin texture and pores.
Amazing selection of colour - Fair-Deep Dark colours in Cool, Neutral and Warm undertones.
Easily buildable. 
Great coverage - medium and can be built up to almost full. 
No flashback or white cast in photos. 
No strong scent. 
Spatula Applicator. 
Packaging is glass, and feels very luxurious. 

Very hard to find if you don't live in the US or Canada - Wet n Wild doesn't ship internationally.

Sells out very quickly, so very hard to find your shade in stock.
Sinks into pores after 6 hours if not used with a pore-filling primer. 

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

Beauty Products I Won't Be Repurchasing!

10:42 0 Comments
Recently, I've been trying to find the perfect products for my skin and for my hair.
      I have sensitive, dry, acne-prone, pale skin, I find it hard to find any foundation and creams which suit my skin. My hair is dry,damaged and thin from all of the bleaching I used to do my hair, so find it hard to find products which completely nourish my hair to leave it soft and silky. I also don't have very long eyelashes, so its difficult to find a mascara which lengthens and volumizes them to how I like them. So, as you can imagine, there are a lot of products I go through to try to find the perfect ones for me, and it's quite a bit of a challenge.
     I know that a lot of you don't want to keep spending money on products which do not live up to their promises on the packaging, (and I have a lot of those!) so I thought id do a video for all of you showing the products which I have bought, and have not lived up to what they say they do. This way, I hope it helps you all into not buying products which don't actually work! Or maybe you've bought these products, and they've actually worked for you. In that case, I'm glad that they worked for someone :)
     I've managed to find some products which I feel should be in the list of the 'Products I Wont Be Repurchasing', so here you go and enjoy!
