It shocks me to even write this..... (prepare for shallow make-up confession)
I have never tried ANY L'oreal foundations.
*gasps*
I don't know why but I haven't. I suppose it is because I have always been a loyal buyer of the Bourjois healthy mix foundation and also the gel foundation so whilst I was scouring Boots yesterday, I had a sudden 'I'm going to buy a different foundation moment!!!' Yay!
So off to the L'oreal section I go. Straight away I see they have a 2 for £15 offer on selected make-up products. (You can see what they have in the offer here). I then see the new Nude Magique Eau De Teint foundation and immediately I'm sold. An offer and a raved about foundation?! Of course I'm going to get giddy. The one thing I absolutely HATE about buying foundation is deciding on the colour. I just take forever. I have pale skin so I take ages umm'ing and ahh'ing over whether it is going to make me look orange - even the lightest shades can often make me look orange. *sigh* The trials and tribulations of being pale!
Anyway, I'm rambling now. I got this foundation in the colour 100 porcelain which seemed to be a perfect match. I've not properly tried it out yet but I'm pretty confident it will be the right shade and I can do a review on this once I've worn it.
Has anyone else used this foundation? It seems to be really runny in the bottle - like you shake it and if you shut your eyes, it sounds like you are shaking a glass bottle filled with water. Slightly wary of this considering the bottle is TINY - only 20ml - but I must admit, it's so cute.
So, continuing with the theme, I picked up the L'oreal True Match foundation in the colour N1 Ivory. I've been wearing it all day and got so excited using it for the first time this morning. This colour matches my skin PERFECTLY so I feel like the Nude Magique foundation will be a match too as these two colours (porcelain and ivory) looked the same on my hand. I find this to be a medium coverage but is easily buildable without looking cakey. I always like to have a good amount of foundation on and it really did make my skin look flawless. *woohoo!* I've heard lots of people raving about this foundation and now I can see why! Of course, this is only the first day of wearing it so I don't want to say too much about how I love it and how marvelous it is as who knows, I might suddenly grow a strong hatred for it by next week?! You never know. But what I can say is it has lasted all day and only a slight amount on my chin has worn off. So two foundations for £15, both originally priced at £9.99. A fiver saved - can't be bad!
Let me know what you think of the L'oreal foundations! I'd love to know!
