Reviewing Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation

Hi guys today I'm going to be reviewing the new Bourjois healthy mix serum foundation. Now this formula is different to their previous healthy mix foundation as their previous formula is a bit thicker, has a medium coverage and has a slight matte finish. This new formula has less coverage but is more brightening on the skin and has a dewy/glowy finish which I personally much prefer in my foundations as I have dry skin. There is also about €1/2 of a price difference.

So firstly I primed my face as always using the Soap and Glory speed plump all day super moisture marvel. This leaves by skin feeling tacky which is the perfect base for my foundation. Even though this is only a moisturiser it works just as well as a primer as it has glycerin in it. I used the shade 51 Vanille clair for my foundation. I love the formula of this foundation as it doesn't dry out my skin and its a close shade to my actual skin tone. It also lasts for a long time especially for a drugstore foundation. This has become my new go to foundation on a daily basis as it's so easy to apply and the longevity is great. The only negative I have to say about this foundation is that it does oxidize after applying it so you need to make sure you blend this foundation down your neck to ensure there are no harsh colour lines.
Don't forget to set your foundation if you want it to last even longer. I used the Mac prep + prime fix + in this look.

Moo Goo Shampoo Review

 I realise I am late to discovering this shampoo but nevertheless it deserves a review. I picked up the Moo Goo shampoo in my local chemist last week after a friend recommended it to me. I must admit I have been obsessed every since. I have dry hair and over the years I feel like I have tried every shampoo on the market for dry hair. It wasn't until I discovered the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo did my hair improve at all however sometimes even that doesn't work for my hair. It can be frustrating as using hair masks can make my hair go greasy faster and my scalp would still be dry. Since I started using the Moo Goo shampoo my hair looks more hydrated and there is no dryness on my scalp. This shampoo is a little more expensive than your average bottle of shampoo however I believe it is worth every penny. This shampoo is excellent and also leaves a lovely shine.   Available at:  https://moogoo.ie/scalp-friendly-milk-shampoo Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea...

Upcycling my bedside locker

 Hi! Today I wanted to show you a piece of furniture I recently upcycled. I have this bedside locker for a few years. However the top of it have been damaged by nail varnish and it has some wear and tear marks. I decided to paint it one of my favourite colours from Dulux which is Mid Shadow. I picked up everything I needed from Bandon Co-Op Retail and Garden Centre. I will link what I bought down below.  I started by cleaning the locker with a damp cloth and then waited for it to dry. I removed the drawer knobs. Then I lightly sanded down the surfaces with some sanding paper. This creates a key for the paint to adhere to when you are applying it. I started applying my satinwood to the locker. I decided to purchase the water based satinwood as it drys quickly and is more environmentally friendly. It took about 4 coats however you can buy an undercoat too to reduce the amount of coats you need to apply.  For the drawer knobs I decided the keep them and spray paint...
