Soap and Glory miracle trio :)

Hello guys :)
Again, this is another Review on products which I have purchased recently (today). Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on on skincare and beauty products at the minute in my local store (Galway). So I bought these... (Any excuse, right?!) 

Soap and Glory "Deep Purifying The Ultimelt Hot Cloth cleanser", "Super Self Heating Deep Pore Detox Mask No Clogs Allowed", and "Multiactive Moisture Lotion For Daily Youth". 

I was pretty happy with these purchases so I tried them as soon as I got home and I was very happy! 

Firstly, the mask. This product has an usual texture. It is a white, thick cream like a mask usually feels but then it has these mousse-like particles. Applied to a dry face and rubbed in with wet hands, the cream changes to a blue colour and starts to heat up. One of the nicest self heating masks I've ever tried!! Left on for 5 minutes and washed off, it leaves skin feeling amazing!! 

The Cleanser was used next, lovely and thick in texture with an almost milky residue. Rubbed into skin with wet hand this smells lovely and fresh. Washed off with the included muslin cloth. I found that this left my skin feeling super cleansed and soft! 

Finally, Moisturiser. 
I am so so picky when it comes to moisturiser so I wasn't really expecting to fall in love with this product. I was wrong!! This cream is both light and moisturising, two qualities which I don't think I've found together before!! Smells beautiful and fresh. Leaves my skin so soft. 

I am overall really happy with these 3 products! I think I may actually stick to a set of products for a change! 

I'll let you know how I find them in the long run, but on first impressions alone, I'm super impressed.

Foundations I love!!

Looking for a new foundation...
Okay, here goes, I am a complete foundation geek. Yet, despite trying almost every type on the market I still haven't found my ideal match. I would, ideally, like three foundations. One, for daytime pale days. The second, for days with tan on, and the Third, for nights out (with tan obviously)!
So here goes my favourite picks for the said categories!
PS. I have combination skin!

Daytime pale days has to be my MAC Pro Longwear in the shade NC15. Super pale right??! It does a great job covering up blemishes and is easy to blend, long lasting, and matches my skintone fairly well. NC10 would be perfect! 


Daytime tanned work makeup foundation would have to be Lancome's Teint Miracle number 01. Really like this foundation shade and isn't an orange tint at all!! Which is always good!! Blends perfectly to tan and has a beautiful dewy glow! 


Last, my favourite foundation is MakeUp Forever HD foundation in shade 118. This stuff is really brilliant! Superb finish and there is no SPF so no attractive moon face in photos taken with a flash! Its really worth a try and lasts and that particular is slightly yellow based which i love and is perfect for my skin!! Just a pity its not stocked in Galway, but the makeup counter in Dublin will post it down!


Which foundation do you like to use on days where you may want to be different colours?? haha <3
