Illamasqua Skin Base

There's no getting around the fact that I'm a foundation junkie / hoarder / addict. See foundation - will buy it. Today, I have a foundation from Illamasqua that I actually like (I'm not normally an Illo foundation girl) AND which, for me anyway, closely dupes Chanel Vitalumiere.

Ellis Faas Skin Veil Fo...

I was offered a sample of this to review a few months ago but I, for whatever reason, knocked it back. I suspect it was because I don't accept 70% of what I'm offered and I may have thought this wasn't for me and/or because I don't like to accept products where I know there is going to be a long lead time for me to review it. I don't want to be greedy. Now I am totally kicking myself because, seriously ladies, I have finally - FINALLY - found my HG foundation. This is THE one.

Tom Ford Traceless Foun...

Today is a monumental day peoples. Well, in first world terms anyway. I have finally - FINALLY - found an Estee Lauder foundation where the shade works for my sallow skin. Can I get a happy dance peoples?

Meow Cosmetics Purrr-fe...

My search for foundation is neverending. I may have found my perfect match in Chanel's Vitalumiere but that does not stop me constantly buying others to see how they work. I'm a serial monogamist. Jump to read my review of Meow Cosmetics

Bobbi Brown Extra Repai...

I need to face it. So long as companies keep on releasing foundations, I will continue to buy them. I am the most suggestible person on the face of this planet. Bobbi Brown have released a new foundation - Extra Repair - which got me so excited that I didn't want to wait for the Aussie release. I bought direct from the US. That's committment. Or stupidity. I'm not entirely sure which.

Foundations for all Sea...

In my search for the one perfect foundation, I've decided that it doesn't exist. What I do have are a group of foundations that I interchange on a regular basis, depending on my mood and the circumstances - Foundations for all Seasons. Read on to see my favourites...

Haulage – MAC, Bo...

These are always controversial posts for me (I don't want people to think that I'm bragging) but I really want to share my haulages with you guys. Today, it's a mixed bag that includes.... Bobbi Brown's new BB cream-esque foundation. Jump!

Rimmel – Lasting ...

Now that my skin has settled into a natural rhythm of being normal to dry, and a total pain in the a** to manage as a result, long wearing foundations tend to be my enemy. Revlon, MAC, Estee Lauder.... all are just a little too drying for me. Would Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation be any different?

MUFE Face & Body &...

Kimmi from The Plastic Diaries is the worst enabler since Val from Ponikuta. As soon as those two ladies mention a product, I have to have it. So this review is definitely all Kimmi's fault. For real.

Australis Paparazzi Per...

The last time I tried a High Definition (Make Up For Ever) foundation, I was left a little disappointed. Would Australis' new HD Foundation suffer the same fate?
