WISHLIST

Hello my loves,

So today I thought it would be fun to do a wishlist of some of my beauty picks. This year has been incredible with some of the biggest launches and the beauty industry has grown so much.

There have been so many collaborations and new releases, so I thought i would pick 5 products to go into my wishlist, hoping to soon get my mitts on.

1.  FENTY BEAUTY Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in 330

Fenty beauty... omg can we take a minute to appreciate the queen Rihanna. She has smashed it with all products that have been released for Fenty and I'm so excited about this one. A lot of people loved the pre filt'r foundation that was initially released, however, its matte formula was not suitable for dryer skin tones, so Rih actually listened and released a hydrating formula. I am obsessed with anything that will give my skin a healthy glow look. I have heard nothing but great news on this foundation so I'm hoping to try this out soon.

2. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- JACKIE AINA PALETTE

Jackie, Jakie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie! Jackie, Jakie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie! This palette retails for £46 and wow this is the most iconic collaborations I have ever seen. Jackie Aina is one of the funniest, down to earth YouTubers I know and I know that every colour in this palette will be brown girl friendly. Anastasia Beverly hills formulas never fail to smash it out of the pond so I am so eager to try this out.

3.  FARSALI - Liquid glass

Ok, so this product is not makeup, but is essential before applying makeup! It is a radiant skin serum and is perfect si you are wanting to achieve the perfect glass skin. It contains Hyaluronic Acid to replenish moisture and plump the skin. Farsali always kill their releases, and their products are magical! I really want this product as I am such a fan of the glass skin trend.

4. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- LOOSE SETTING

Powder

Anastasia knows their products inside out so I know they have made a killer product with heir new loose setting powders. I am always on the hunt for a good powder, it is a sale in your makeup kit! They have released a couple of shades, however, the banana shade is something that I'm eyeing up as its a brightening powder especially fro under the eyes.

5.  HUDA BEAUTY Life Liner

HUDA is releasing product after product. seriously Huda, take all my money please. I was so surprised with this latest release. Huda Beauty’s dual-ended eyeliner has you covered whether you’re nailing the cat-eye flick or a dramatic smoked-out look. There is a liquid tip and a creamy pencil end – both of which are intensely black, matte and can be trusted to stay put without smudging! I mean everyone needs a good eyeliner, and this is supposed to be super black and super long-lasting, which is what I need as I always feel my eyeliner smudges off after a few hours. For £22 you can't go wrong.

That's all for my wishlist folks.

Are you FAUX real?

Hey, my loves! Hope you all are doing well. Today I have an exciting blog post for you all, it's a review on the most anticipated foundation ever - yes you guessed it right, its the HUDA beauty #FauxFilter foundation! I received it a few days ago and I have been obsessed, so I thought it would only be right to do a review and demo for you guys (i also made a video for my Youtube channel so make sure to check that out too!)

A little bit about the foundation...

    (With Flash)

It is a full-coverage velvety foundation, available in 30 shades which is 10 fewer shades than the Fenty Foundation, however it still offers a skin tone spectrum far wider than most high-street and high-end beauty giants! There's definitely a shade for everyone. It claims to give you a flawless long-lasting look in just one application.It is packed with ultra-refined pigments claiming to hide blemishes, conceal imperfections, and camouflage dark circles. It retails at £32.00 and can be found in Selfridges, Harrods or Cultbeauty for those who live in the UK.

So what does it do exactly?...

This intelligent liquid foundation blends seamlessly with skin and dries to a radiant matte powder finish that looks luminous, not dry or cakey. This product is enriched with Argan Oil which provides hydration and nourishment for the skin (double-win). It's this fade-proof formula that blends seamlessly into the skin, simultaneously working to improve skin texture. It claims to give flawless full-coverage with just one pump which you can see above...it definitely does.
 

My opinions...

I ordered my foundation of the Cult Beauty website, therefore I had to guess my shade (bit risky). Luckily HUDA released a shade chart that i was able to compare other foundation shades such as the Kat Von D and NARs foundation to find the correct shade. I picked Brown Sugar 410G – which is suitable for tan skin tones with golden undertones. I also love how each foundation was named after an item of food which shows Huda's personal touch to the foundation line.

When I received the foundation, I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the product. It comes in a plastic container, however, it looks and feels expensive (perfect for travelling). The foundation comes with a pump which I must say is excellent as it allows you to take total control of how much you want to pump out, in other words, it doesn't come out all at once which I've experienced in the past.

Secondly, I noticed the texture was quite a thick consistency which is similar to the Kat Von D - Lock it foundation. As you'd probably expect,  it is quite thick and high coverage BUT it does not look cakey what-so-ever! I'm really impressed by the formula. It gives a flawless coverage, hiding all my scars and pigmentation, yet it still looks natural.The finish of this product is matte but not chalky and thanks to the argan oil, it provides a protective, nourishing layer over the skin.

This foundation also smells insaneee! I have never experienced any other foundation that smells like perfume apart from this one. I think HUDA really has thought about every single detail of the product. I also must mention that this foundation ain't going anywhere! None of that slipping and sliding down the face business, this foundation clings on for dear life (in a good way!)

My final verdict...

This product is all your skin prayers answered in a bottle. You need this in your life. This foundation line is perfect in every way, including the colour range, undertones of the foundation, consistency, application and finish. The name says it all! It honestly looks like a real-life filter on your face, and who doesn't want that?
