Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation Review!

Today’s review is of Illamasqua's Skin Base Foundation. I have been using this for about 6 months now and feel like it’s time to finally give a review on it.

 

First off I’ll talk about the packaging. The packaging is stunning. The bottle has a very unique shape to it, and the lid of course is the shape of most of the products. One thing I did find hard to do was squeeze product out after a few months of using it. I felt like I needed 2 hands to get anything out of it. But that stopped after a month or so for some strange reason.

The product itself is pretty impressive. I only need to use about half a 5 cent piece blob on my hand to cover my entire face and have full coverage. The foundation was created to feel like you don’t have anything on, and I think they have achieved this nicely. Somehow it gives full coverage without giving you a cake face. The formula itself is quite thick but spreads really easy.

 

I’m very impressed with this range of foundation. I think I spent about $60AUD on this and I think it’s worth every cent. Another great thing about this foundation is that it comes in about 26 shades to fit anyone. It even comes in white! So if you dress up a lot or have very pale skin or very dark skin, then i recommend this foundation for you! If your down at Illamasqua get one of the artists to test it on you and feel for yourself.

 

Have you got it? Tell me what you think of it!

Welcome to the West!

Hello there readers!

 

I'm very very happy to be back blogging. I haven't done it in a few weeks. SORRY!  A lot has happened in the past few weeks, I suppose this can be a catch up post (sorry no makeup!)

 

So if anyone has read my other news flash post you’d know I was moving to Perth, W.A. Well, IM HERE! Not going to lie, but this place is very quiet and kinda boring. I wouldn’t exactly come here from a tourist point of view. But it’s nice, I’m enjoying being here.

 

I arrived on Saturday with my boyfriend Adam. We drove over from Melbourne which is 4 days’ worth of driving (38 hours) well actually, he was the one who drove seeing as I don’t have my licence yet hahaha. The drive was absolutely incredible. We crossed the Nullarbor and saw the Great Australian Bight. We also stayed in very overpriced places and once spent $2.11 p/l on fuel. But hey it was an experience I certainly recommend to everyone!

 

My most favourite part of the drive was definitely the Great Australian Bight. It is one of the best experiences of my life and will do it all over again in a heartbeat. Adam and I arrived and we had t pay $20 (for both of us) to go through to the lookouts. We made our way down and I saw some weird black things in the water. I was saying “it’s a rock, wait is that a whale, no it’s a rock, OMG it’s a whale!”. There were about 8 whales when we went, it was AMAZING! We even had the pleasure of seeing one doing flips in the water.

 

 

 

Adam and I are now semi settled into our new home with my dad. We haven’t received our stuff yet but it is coming (I hope) with this new house Adam and I get to spread out a little bit more then we could at my mummy’s house. We now have 3 bedrooms and a small living area to ourselves. So Adam and I have our bedroom but we also have a room each for whatever we want and as I explained in the other post I’m going to be setting up a makeup studio for myself for clients and also to restart filming my videos!

In Perth I will be working with my dad and Adam to build my makeup business and hopefully get my name out there. So fingers crossed! I will be posting a few reviews in the next couple of days including Illamasqua’s Skin Base foundation as well as a cream blush and lip gloss, so stay tuned! Thanks so much for reading.

Nail of the Day: OPI Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday'

Today's nail of the day is Nicki Minaj's second OPI nail polish 'Pink Friday' from the mini set i bought at Salon Melbourne in April. This color is a glossy baby pink. The formulation is great. When i first saw this in the bottle i didn't really think it was the most amazing color in the world. But now that pastels are in this season the color has definitely grown on me!

excuse the dent on my ring finger haha.
bedroom light, 2 coats

I will definitely buy a big bottle of this nail polish, its subtle and such a pretty color for the spring season coming up in Australia :)

would you wear it?

Love you guys xo
