Recent Buys: Yves Saint Laurent Fusion Ink Foundation, Touche Eclat Highlighter and Burberry Lip Cover ❤️

Hello Beautiful people!




How has your week been? Hope y'all well. Just a quick post to share products I have bought recently.






Some of you may already know that I love anything and everything Yves Saint Laurent. It's my favourite brand and I have never found anything I disliked from skincare to makeup to fashion. Their products are just classy and packaging is to die for. I could spend all day talking about Ysl but let's get on to the products I bought


Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Encre De Peau Fusion Ink Foundation
All Day Perfection& Freedom, Featherlight texture
SPF18/ PA +++ 24 hour wear and comfort
-The first YSL foundation inspired by the use of ink, offers soft and comfortable wear until removal. It's hybrid technology generates a texture that feels as light and fine as ink and as concealing as a classic foundation
- The ultra smooth texture glides on effortlessly and melts into the skinfor an even, perfectly matte complexion. The texture is layered over the skin for made to measure coverage without any excess thickness. The result looks natural and imperceptible, offering all women the freedom of a perfect foundation all day long

What can I say about Ysl Fusion Ink foundation? I looooooooove this foundation. It's just perfect for my combination skin. It feels very light on the skin and gives a polished look like I'm one of them catwalk models lol. One of the main reasons I really love it is I found a perfect shade match BD65/Golden Beige. I couldn't find a perfect match in the Touché Eclat foundation so you can imagine how happy I was about the Fusion Ink. I'm about nc46/47 in Mac and a beige Praline #10 in Lancome foundations. In Estée Lauder doublewear foundation I'm shade Amber honey 5N2. If you don't like fragrance in your foundation or have sensitive skin you might want to get a tester before you commit yourself to buying Fusion Ink. It is expensive but I don't mind because it meets the criteria I look for in a foundation especially shade match and staying power. I put it on at 6am and take it off like 6pm and I only blot once in the afternoon. It doesn't oxidise and go orange (Mac studio fix fluid looking at you!) Overall I really love it, safe to say a holy grail in my makeup bag and I use it daily. 


Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter #5 Luminous Honey
- Touche Eclat adds highlights , refreshes your makeup and brightens your complexion. Touche Eclat offsets the complexion's dulling tendencies and revives it's own natural glow by capturing and reflecting light 
- I once bought this before they discontinued #4 after a week I forgot my makeup bag on the Virgin train I was miserable for a few days lol but finally bit my lip and repurchased. I use this to highlight under my eyes. It brightens up my face. When used with Ysl Fusion Ink foundation mŷ face looks flawless. 


Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick - Sepia No.12
- Burberry Lip Cover adds a touch of radiance. The lightweight combination of nourishing oils and gel dispersed pigment ensures intense moisture and long lasting colour.
- Burberry Lip cover contains anti ageing cerramides for fuller lip definition
- shiny polymers offer perfect luminosity
- contains UV filters to protect from damaging environmental exposure
Okay! I never planned on buying this 😳but after spotting the new Burberry counter in House of Fraser Oxford street how could I walk away empty handed lol. I love the packaging, the lipstick everything is just lush #teamburberry❤️ The colour I bought is called Sepia no. 12 which is a perfect nude for many skintones. I'm not too much into nude lips but this one might have converted me haha, I hope I don't get addicted to that Burberry counter lol. Makeup look wearing Burberry lip cover Sepia no. 9 is  coming shortly.




What have you guys purchased as of late?

 



That's all for now
Have a fab weekend
Stay Beautiful and Blessed
Much Love

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Foundation Review!

Hello Sweeties!






Today I bring you another review of the second foundation I bought from Lancome in March. The last time I made a post about how I was loving it,many of you asked me to do a review so look no further here it is!


LANCOME TEINT IDOLE ULTRA 24H SHADE #10 PRALINE £27.00
24H Wear&Comfort. Retouch Free. Divine Perfection SPF5
24h of wear for a divine,lasting perfection

In perfect affinity with the skin Teint Idole Ultra 24h is irresistibly comfortable. Its new,blendable and fresh texture is divine and leaves the complexion perfectly smooth,velvety and matte with no powdery effect.
Oil- and transfer free foundation
Sweat and friction resistant
Without mask effect

WHAT DO I THINK????
I absolutely love this foundation- Coverage is medium buildable which is perfect for me as I am not a fan of full coverage foundations. This foundation doesnt cake up or leave fine lines around my mouth like some foundations do. I have had compliments on my skin from family and friends saying my skin looks great and I look flawless,I was moved by the comments seriously but had already convinced myself I look amazing from the first day I wore it alone in the house lol


Although Lancome states that this is a 24hour foundation I cannot backup that claim as I never wear foundation for that long anyways who does? I  have worn this foundation without a primer and setting powder from 8am in the morning when I left the house to 10pm at night when I get back home now thus a total of 14hours and this foundation did not move. I have normal,combination skin with oily T-Zone I did not touch up my face,I never do anyway my makeup usually  stays in place all day!


PROS
*Long lasting
*Doesnt look like a mask
*Feels very light on the skin
*Looks natural
*Offers medium buildable coverage
* Can be used by all skin types
* Blends effortlessly
*Doesnt cake up
*Doesnt oxidize

*Gives a velvety matte finish which is not powdery


CONS
*Has rose fragrance may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin
*May need primer&setting powder if you have oily skin
*Less shades released in the UK but Im not bothered as I found my perfect match shade


OVERALL
I love it so much to give it holy grail satus. It matches me perfectly and did not break me out. Love how its long lasting with no need for touch ups.Would recommend at least getting samples before commiting to a full bottle as what works for my skin may not work for yours
