My mission to find the perfect foundation

23/10/2016

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is up for review today. Earlier on this year I wrote a post about Estée Lauder Doublewear foundation and ever since I’ve been on a mission to find my perfect foundation. I’ve tried Clinique, Younique, Estée Lauder and now Giorgio Armani this year in the hope I’ll find something that works for my skin type. If you’d like me to review the others, please leave a comment and I’ll do some more reviews!
Back to today’s topic! I’ve got combination skin and am prone to the odd spot (or a few 😫) on my chin. I tend to touch my face a lot because unfortunately that’s the kind of person I am, so need something long wearing that will blur my imperfections.

This flattering picture should give you a good picture of what I’m having to deal with every day.
On a bad day, 3 pumps of this tends to do the trick, I’ll apply it to my hand and dab all over my face then blend blend blend!

Silky by name and silky by nature, it blends really well and gives a very natural finish;

Unfortunately there is no masking the texture of my skin, so this will have to do.
One day I’ll master a nice eye, but as per previous posts, I’m crap at make up so this will have to suffice.
Being at the higher end of the price range (around £35) I don’t want to waste any and am happy to fork out if my skin looks amazing.

My problem area is still going pretty strong and I managed to prevent Aaron’s parents’ dog Jake from licking my face this afternoon – the day has gone very well 👌🏻
So my final verdict! I’m in love with this foundation. It’s got great staying power, even with my incessant need to touch my face. It’s a beautiful colour, is silky and doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin – what more could you want from a foundation?! I’d personally prefer a more high street price, however I think you get what you pay for!
Let me know if you’ve used this before, how you’ve gotten on with it and if there are any other cult foundations I should give a try!
Until next time!

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
