FOTD on a Budget.

Hello there!
I have an FOTD for you today and, although nearly everything I own is budget, this one is especially budget friendly.

 Shocking picture. I do apologise. 

Max factor 3 in 1 foundation - Light Ivory 40 (review here)

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - Fair 1

ELF Tone Correcting Powder - Cool

Natural Collection Blush - Sweet Cheeks

ELF Blush (as highlight) - Gotta Glow

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Metallic Pomegranate 

MUA eyeshadow palette - Heaven & Earth

Revlon Matte Eyeshadow - Vintage Lace

Seventeen Doll'd up Mascara - Black (review here)

MUA eyeshadow (brows) - Shade 19

MUA Power Pout - Rendezvous

The most expensive thing here is the foundation at around £12 but most drugstore foundations are pricey and I am very much in love with it.

 

I really liked this look, warm toned metallic browns on my eyes make me happy and I feel like the lips and cheeks complemented the eyes without overpowering it. Obviously the brows were nice and bold, technically they are too dark for my face but I like them. I feel as though a bold brow lets me get away with bolder eyes.

As for the eyes, I layered the top right MUA eyeshadow over the Colour Tattoo and blended it all out, with a couple of the darker shades in the crease (lightly!), along the lash line and under the eye. I also hit the inner corner with the shiniest shade in the palette, the 3rd on the left on the bottom row. Catchy name.

What do you think of this look? Do you want to see more FOTD's?

Foundation Lust List

Hello!

Recently I have been really into skin and foundation, concealers as well as contour and highlighting etc. This is probably due to my skin being a lot better (Thank you La Roche Posay!) but also I have been very lazy and so want to spend less time on my makeup but still look healthy, so the focus has been on the skin. I have bought a couple of new foundations in the last month, and really desperately want these four as well!

Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation £11.99 - NARS Sheer Glow Foundation £30.50 - Revlon Nearly Naked Make-Up Foundation £8.99 - Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin £12.49

I have seen on Youtube a lot of good reviews of the new-ish Covergirl 3-in-1 foundation and was really annoyed we don't have COvergirl in England because it seems like it would work really well for my skin type. Then I remembered that Covergirl & Maxfactor are basically transatlantic twins and so looked into the MaxFactor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 foundation. I even compared the ingredients lists and they are essentially identical.  

The NARS Sheer GLow foundation is something of a cult product and, while being way, way out of my price range is one I want nonetheless. 

Now we come to two Revlon foundations. The Nearly Naked may not be ideal for my oily beastly skin but I really want to try as it's had good reviews all the same, and Ingrid of missglamorazzi did a first impressions/review of it and liked it - and has oily skin! The Colourstay has, of course, reached pretty much holy grail status for many it seems, and seeing as they have an combination/oily formula and wear time is important to me, it seems I have to try it.

The only thing putting me off buying them all now? Even the cheapest highstreet/drugstore foundation is £9 and the others £12ish each and that is a little too much for me to pick up on a whim. That being said, I got my boots advantage card vouchers in the post two days ago and there are a couple of *this many* points when you spend *this much* vouchers so we'll see what happens!

Do you own any of these foundations? What do you think of them?

Much love

♥
