MAYBELLINE DREAM FLAWLESS NUDE FOUNDATION

Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude foundation in the shade Ivory £8.99

Hello lovelies, please excuse my bare face especially if you've just eaten, apologies! It has been a very long while since I did a 'bad' review on my blog but I had to share my disappointment with this product sadly. Obviously we all have different opinions and skin types so don't shoot me for having an opinion but this foundation just did nothing for me what so ever!

'Flawless nude' - Nude yes, flawless? Erm bull****, I think you have to have flawless skin to pull this foundation off personally! It latched on to all my dry areas and blemishes even with moisturiser and primer applied first. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried it with just primer, just moisturiser and nothing at all but it just didn't sit nicely on my face at all! 

I only picked it up because it was on offer in boots and I loved the packaging, I don't like the wand thing that comes inside the bottle, this is purely just so you can add a couple of drops to fill your whole face but I much prefer pumps. I also got the lightest shade and I think it is still quite orange on me, the joys of being super pale. Maybe if I had no blemishes what so ever and I needed a product that just made me look a bit more awake and not ill then this could work but other than that I couldn't personally. It doesn't hide much at all, it felt quite smooth on the skin and finished to a satin like texture and it smells quite nice but that is the only pro's for me.

To be quite honest there actually isn't a Maybelline foundation I have got a long with apart from their BB cream, maybe the formulas just don't agree with my skin type, no idea. This does remind me a bit of a liquid form of the dream matte moose they did, that had to be the worst foundation going. I remember my friend using it for school and her applying it to my face, by the end of the day I would have patches of orange places all clinged to my dry areas, not good at all, no wonder I didn't have much look with boys through school aha. 

All I would say is if you have amazing skin and you like a very light coverage then maybe this could work for you but if like me you like hiding your blemishes, dark circles and freckles then I wouldn't purchase this.

Did you get on with this foundation or loathe it as much as I did?

WHAT'S ON MY NAILS WEDNESDAY #37

OPI 'Muppets Most Wanted Collection' Mini in Chillin Like A Villain 

Hello lovelies, I was after a pretty nude this week and remembered the muppet collection of opi mini's I previously bought from Tkmaxx so got this gorgeous nudey peach out. I can't find the set on Tkmaxx but here is a link for this shade on amazon. You really have to build up the layers if you want more of an opaque shade, if your looking for a really sheer nude this is perfect for you but I had to put on about three layers to get this more opaque peachy shade and it's still not really that opaque but I am in love with the shade. I think it looks really well on my pale complexion if you ignore my really dry nails, they need some tlc! I think this shade would look gorgeous on everyone's complexion though personally it's so pretty and very versatile and also adds a gorgeous shine to the nails.

I also think the mini opi bottles look so cute! I actually have this big cookie glass jar I keep all my mini polishes in as I think they look very decorative on my dressing table and their perfect for taking away on weekends away or for touch ups in your make up bag without being too bulky. I also think doing one nail in some glitter would really set the look of and the more I look at my nails the more I think I will add some glitter, maybe a gold! 

What do you think of this mini opi shade?
