Clinique Superbalanced Foundation in Silk Sahara | Review

Image
I was looking for a foundation that has abit more of a fuller or 'put together' coverage for those days I didn't want to use my natural products. I've never tried any of Clinique's products before probably down to no being interested however there foundations seem to have good reviews and are a tad bit less expensive than the luxury brands which usually start at £28 and over. I went to my local Boots and asked the assistant which foundation would suit me, I wanted something abit matte, natural looking but with at least medium coverage. She pointed me in the direction of the Superbalanced foundation. Most of the shades do look alot pink overall in most of their shades, and at the time she did match and swatch me to Silk Bamboo, which would suit me when I'm abit tanner probably.

Elemental Beauty Mineral Blusher in Fudge | Review

So since trying Inika's loose mineral blushers I really wanted to try some other colours.

Its a perfect everyday shade, if you don't want anything to pink or want to look like you have blush on, this looks like a natural flush for medium skin tones.  Its very pigmented and a little goes along away so the jar will be lasting me a very long time! I think it was only £5.99 or something which is a bargai

Uoga Uoga Mineral Makeup | Review and swatch

I came across this brand on Instagram when it came up on my explorer page. Their make-up and packaging looks cute not to mention natural and pure! I have nearly finished my huge jar of Earthnicity Mineral foundation that I use on top of the Inika Liquid Foundation, so I thought I'd try another brand out. As I get shiny and most mineral foundations melt and disappear on me I was glad to see that Uoga Uoga Mineral foundation has Kaolin Clay in it to absorb oils and it also has Amber as one of the ingredients which is found in Lithuania and well known for.  Apparently Amber has regenerating and healing properties in it so its a bonus to have in the foundation. Mineral Powder - Amber Sand Uoga Uoga don't have a variety of shades and seem to have more lighter shades which I'm not surprised as I'm just guessing majority of Lithuanian customers have lighter skin tones however I managed to find my shade in 'Amber Sand' which is a medium warm shade with yell
