MY FAVES FOR OILY/COMBO - SKINCARE & MAKEUP

After Posting Numerous pictures on instagram of my fave products I have found for oily and combo skin And getting a few requests I decided to write a post on what I like to use on my oily skin.

Skincare 

(I have only been using these current products for a short time, so theses are just my reviews on how I've seen results as of now)

The good thing about Dermalogica is its recommended from beauty therapist  all over the world, the price can't doubt people on theses products, but I always say that you get what you paid for.

Dermalogica Medibac Cleansing Face wash: I've been using this for a couple of weeks, and I can see my skin texture is already changing my acne is also shrinking and currently only have hormonal breakouts which can't be helped.
It has an unusual but nice smell to it sort of smells like aloe Vera mixed with something else ha-ha can't quite put my finger on it! It lathers up quite well and also when using my Clarisonic. It hasn't Stripped my skin or anything from being too strong BUT I did buy the active moist, which is a light moisturizer purpose for oily skin.

Dermalogica Active Moist: Again been only using this for a couple of weeks, tend to only wear it at night or if not wearing any makeup. Dermalogica recommends this for people who are on the oilier side as it soaks up oil but is oil-free.
When applying this I only use the Tiniest bit ever! And apply all over my face, it soaks in so well and doesn't even feel like you have applied any, it doesn't leave your skin, oily like most moisturizers do, even if they say their oil free and don't cause more "oil" Haven't tried, but if you're very oily they also have one called oil control lotion - Dermalogica: 'An oil-free, feather-light lotion to help hydrate while reducing shine. Non-greasy formula soothes irritated skin and helps eliminate congestion while preventing future breakouts. Microspheres help absorb oil on the skin's surface, leaving skin with an all-day matte finish. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors.' But I also think that they would be more suited for someone during the day not at night, this one is light enough for wearing under makeup I feel.

Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel: This clearing gel, is one of the best I've treated I feel it helps with Preventing and getting rid of present pimples, not much I can say about this product as of yet, but I'll still continue to use it. Dermalogica says: 'An overnight treatment that helps clear skin, calm inflammation and prevent future breakouts by reducing excess sebum, removing impaction plugs and eliminating bacteria that contribute to congestion. Contains no artificial fragrance or color'

Makeup

Primer- Smashbox Photo finish Light + Blemish Control: When using the Smashbox photo finish Blemish control it is best to use with another primer otherwise if used on whole face I was advised it can cause your face to become very dry as it has acne preventing ingredients.

Foundations - I'am still looking for the perfect foundation for my skin type but I do prefer a matte and stay long foundation - For some reason I always end up back at Revlon colorstay, I do also like MAC studio fix and Makeup forever Matte Foundation and Estee Lauder Double wear Light.

Powder- MAC Blot Pressed Powder: I don't know why this powder is not talked about more it has done amazing things for my skin, I don't even have to worry about if I have oiliness coming through, and the fact that it lasts all day is amazing! And if I do have natural oils slightly appearing I don't mind because it look like my skin is just really healthy.


There possibly could be a part 2 of this blog post so stay tune!

WEDNESDAY WEEKLY WISHLIST #8 - TOO FACED

This Weeks Wednesday Weekly Wishlist is one product that has been raved about and on instagram all the time.

Source: Beautywithria Instagram

It is the too faced chocolate bar, when I first saw this I thought it was a bit overrated its just a usual neutral palette didn't really understand why everyone was obsessed until now this is the most amazing picture I have seen of the palette the way it captured shows how beautiful theses colors really are! I am in love with the cranberry reddish colour and right in the corner copper orange there amazing.

The picture was taken by Beautywithria on instagram go follower her for more amazing photos!

Review: True Match Foundation by Loreal

Today I'am reviewing the True Match Loreal - W1

First of all when I look for a foundation to buy I base the pick on theses 3 things: How long it last, How well it covers my face and How quickly it shows my oily skin coming through.

I'am so disappointed in this foundation, and after hearing such amazing things about it and people saying it's there new holy grail foundation and so on I had such high hopes:(

Many people said this was a medium to full coverage foundation, on their website it states  "True Match Super-Blendable Makeup precisely matches your skin’s tone and texture and coordinates perfectly formulated with Precise Match Technology so you can control the coverage and fine-tune it. Ultra-pure formula contains no oils, fragrances, or pore-clogging fillers, so all you see is beautiful, radiant, flawless skin"

First Reason why I dislike like this foundation, As soon as I put two pumps on my beauty blender I knew by the Watery texture of the foundation it was not going to go down well ha-ha, I normally use a very thick consistency foundation Revlon colorstay which is one of my holy grail foundations, but I'am always trying to find a foundation that is better.

You can sort of see how waterly the consists is in the picture above

I work all day and, mostly long hours and sometimes it can be sweaty so I need a foundation that can keep up with that. THIS TRANSFERS LIKE NO OTHER FOUNDATION I HAVE EVER TRIED!

Like my nose was itchy so I rubbed it nek minute all the makeup was on my hand and there was no makeup left on my nose. Now it's not like I don't set my makeup, I feel like this has more of a tinted moisturizer kind of formula.

The first Picture is just applied looking all nice, the second picture is after a few mins and rubbed into the skin, As you can it has grabbed to my fine lines and gone all weird to be honest I can explain it but it just doesn't sit to well on my skin.

Thirdly, I've had a couple of people talk to me on my instagram about the color selection they have, and how there isn't much to choose from, Personally I think they cater more to yellow tone skin tones then pinky skin tones which can make people look quite pastey.

Overall: Main reason I don't like this, Doesn't stay on my face long enough and isn't full coverage enough for me.

These are my opinions and if you're deciding between this foundation, its best just to give it a shot or try to get a sample because they're lost of mixed reviews about it.

Would I recommend this to a friend? Maybe a worst enemy, haha jokes BUT DEFAINTLY NOT!

Beautyfordayz rating love heart:

I give this 1 Beautyfordayz love heart, isn't even worth the one love heart for an everyday foundation but it does have a chance of being a tinted moisturizer and I don't want to bash it just because it isn't want I'am looking for a lot of people love this foundation.

Weekly Wednesday Wishlist -#2- Sigma Copper Extravaganza 29 Brush kit

I don't think you can ever have too many brushes am I right or am I right? In fact, I say that about every beauty product ha-ha whoops.
If you're like me and you can't be bothered washing all your 2000000 brushes every week, it's good to have a range so that you aren't Contaminating your self with bacteria cause breakouts or styes.

So I've had my eye on the extravaganza Kits ever since it came out, but I was not planning on spending close to $500 on a brush kit when I was 16, so it was only ever a dream. But now that I'am 18 it's a whole different story.. Ha-ha, not really. The copper collection or rose gold as they really are when they came out, that's when I really fell in love.

As I'am planning on doing a June Spending ban cause lets be honest I'am going a bit cray cray on da credit card, ya hear what I'am saying gurl!
But with all the money I'am planning on saving I'am determined to buy this brush kit!

This brush kit is amazing for any pro or any girl that wants a big range of good quality brushes, but it does have a very steep price tag to go with it.


Here are some beautiful pictures that you guys have probably seen of this collection
Basically it's just 29 brushes of rosey gold heaven inside ahhh (insert love heart eyes emotion)

If you also want to take a look on there website for theses brushes just follow the link here

Wednesday Weekly Wishlist - #1- ikea Vanity Makeup Desk

Every Wednesday I'am going to be doing Weekly wishlists!
Starting with today I've been thinking about getting a new vanity for a while but was unsure as to what to go for. I've decided to go for the Ikea sort of like "Build your own table" where you can buy a table top and then get two miniature drawers which are used as the base. I didn't actually realize till yesterday, but Lauren beauty actually has the exact thing I'am looking for.

Linnmon Desk top $49 AUD

Alex Drawer X2 $120 AUD each

Musik Wall lamp $59

I already have one of theses in my vanity all ready, but I think I might need to get another one 

I'am thinking about buying theses in June oooo I can't wait to have a new set up.

Once it's all ready I'll put photos up of new and old vanity.

Review: MAC Amplified lipstick collection.

Ever since I got my first MAC lipstick (myth, bad choice) I had to search around for the perfect formula for my lips until one day I bought girl about town and fell in love.
MAC amplified lipsticks are by far my favorite ever formula's they're so rich and creamy and there pigment are amazing. I love how MAC always brings bright colors out in this formula because they really are amazing on the lips.
As you'll find below a lot of my Amplified collection is pink because I find they suit me better.

I did not make this easy for you guys to show which ones are which 

Front - Chatterbox + Show Orchid (pro only)

Next four - Up the amp + Girl about town  + Craving + Red Balloon

Next Three -Blankety + Morange + Saint Germain

Far Back - Violetta (Pro only) + Impassioned

AND HAPPY GO LUCKY but it was in my bag :(

I have quite liney and chapped lips, they are also very pigmented so its hard for me to wear light pinks or nudes, which is so annoying! 

Morange - Blankety - Craving - Chatterbox -Impassioned - Red Balloon - Show Orchid - Girl about town - Saint Germain - Violetta - Up the amp

Morange - Permanet

Morange is a fluorescent orange, which is beautiful in summertime, to be honest, I thought I'd be brave enough to wear this colour but I not.. But I do have more orangey red lippies in my collection that I choose to wear more often than just a straight orange, it is a very beautiful colour and would look amazing on tanned skin.

Blankety- Permanet

Blankety is a very warm brownish nude, I do quite like this colour, but again bought it when the 'nude lip' fashion was in.. Personally nudes are just not my thing as I'am more of a bright coloured lip person on my fair skin. I do recommend for people that prefer there nudes brown, as this colour in the tube can be a little misleading, especially on fair skin, on my lips it runs a lighter brown rather than the light pink it looks in the tube.

Craving - Permanet

Craving was my old time winter favourite a few winters ago, the main reason being it was a very berry pink it went on my lips beautifully sort of "my lips but better" sadly I don't think this colour is very flattering on me in the summer.

Chatterbox - Permanet

Chatterbox this colour is more of a light pinkish orange but more the orange, sadly this colour is way to light for my lips and shows every single line :( it is a very beautiful colour and I wish I could wear it.

Impassioned - Permanet

Impassioned is a much brighter version of chatterbox personally for some reason I can get away with this colour. I remember it took me ages to get my hands on this, but its the perfect summer colour! I really recommend this colour for anyone as it's totally worth it!

Red Balloon - Limited Edition (Playland Collection)

Red Ballon I haven't had this color for very long, but its such a nice mid tone Reddy pink. It's seriously so amazing, I recommend if you can get your hands on it get it cause it's so beautiful.

Show Orchid - Pro store only

Show Orchid I got this at a Pro store in England and by far its the most frosted hot fuchsia pink ever! Even though I don't find myself wearing it that often just because I don't want to waste it. It's so lovely on the lips

Girl About Town- Permanet

Girl about town, EVERYONE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE LIPSTICK IN THE WORLD! I love this hot fuchsia so much! I think this is my 2nd repurchase of this lipstick and ill probably keep buying it forever! Once I went to the MAC counter wearing this and they even asked me what color I was wearing so I'am guessing this shade varies from skin tones, I still feel it is a must have for everyone's MAC collection.

Saint Germain- Permanet

Saint Germain is a blue undertone lipstick, Sadly, I don't EVER wear this lipstick, I've tried on numerous occasions, but it's just too light for my very pigmented lips :( 

Violetta- Pro store only

Violetta I also bought this at a pro store in England, Again, this is a frosty medium purple with what looks like the specs of glitter. This colour glides on the lips with what looks a metallic purple it is really beautiful color the formula or the colour it's self isn't like other Mac lipsticks.

Up the Amp- Permanet

Lucky last Up the Amp, since purples seem to be the craze or more companies introducing purples into their range, this beautiful medium lilac is very creamy on the lips. This is one of my favorite purples I own and if you're looking to buy a purple this is a great starter point.

(Is quite lighter on the lips and in the tube than in the swatch)

                                                      Beautyfordayz rating love heart:

I give this 4 Beautyfordayz love heart, LOVE THEM and I'am gonna keep on buying theses formulas forever!
