New Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation Review

I was slightly nervous about the fact that the epic Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation had been reformulated. And I say epic with not even a hint of irony because it was just that: very few high coverage, ultra longwear foundations came close to it in terms of the quality of finish, ease of…

Foundation Review: Dior Forever Perfect Mousse

There seems to be a bit of a thing for longwear foundation launches at the moment, and I have a handful of those that I’m testing on rotation, but I wanted to kick off this run of reviews with Dior’s new Diorskin Forever Perfect Mousse. Although it actually is longwear, longevity isn’t even this foundation’s talking point…

The Ordinary Colours: Serum and Coverage Foundation Review

Another foundation review for you. (Ambassador, you’re really spoiling us, etc.) It’s actually two foundation reviews in one; the Coverage Foundation and the Serum Foundation, both from Deciem brand The Ordinary. The Ordinary launched last year to a hugely positive reception from the beauty world; it’s a high-tech skincare brand with a no-frills, ingredient-led approach and incredibly low price-points. I’m not…

Armani Power Fabric Foundation Review

I’ve been testing out Armani’s Power Fabric foundation – very thoroughly, as it happens, because I’ve been trying to film quite a bit of content for Youtube and so I’ve needed a fuller base. As you know, I’m not the greatest lover of high coverage, longwear foundations – I’ll usually grab something slightly more natural looking and glowy unless…

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer Review

The Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer from Clinique has seen some love here on the blog before, but it’s never had its own standalone review. So here we are – if you, like me, were disappointed with the new Superbalanced Silk Makeup (full review here) then this sort of levels things out. I’d plump for the Beyond Perfecting face base over…

September Favourites

Another mixed-bag favourites video for you; this one has a harrowing book (sorry), some bump-covering dresses (niche!) and a few brilliant skin perfectors that’ll give you a flawless, glowing complexion. (Special mention goes to the new Bourjois blurring concealer which is just excellent.) You can find all links below the video pane, if you’re into…

Flawless Full Coverage: The New (ish) Dior Forever Foundation

Not only did I draft this review at the beginning of the year and then forget to edit and publish it, I went to a load of trouble trying to obtain an old version of Dior’s Diorskin Forever foundation so that I could do a comparison with this new one and then – about ten minutes ago in fact…
