L'oreal Paris Infallible 24H-Matte in 20 Sand Review

L'oreal is winning in the foundation field at the moment. I have three different foundations i'm alternating between, all from L'oreal, all very different.

This particular one has phenomenal staying power, as suggested by the name. I wore this for twenty hours straight and it did not budge, not one bit. It looked fresh as a daisy for TWENTY hours. More often than not I get home, look in the mirror and think "why did nobody tell me I looked like this?!" but  with this I got home and let out a little gasp.

The product is very thick with high coverage, which I don't need but it's just so good. There's no dodgy smell and the dispenser has a little tube at one end so you can moderate how much comes out, and it's really sanitary. I tend to steer away from things I have to dip my fingers into- all that bacteria. *shudders*

I have very dry skin so was scared, as this has a matte finish, it would dry out my skin more and cling to the dry patches but it did neither so I was pleasantly surprised.

I opted for a darker shade than my usual skintone to cancel out some bruising I had on my face, but this will definitely be my summer foundation as it will keep the oils at bay, whilst staying flawless for hours.

It's available for £6.99 which is an absolute bargain as high end brands would charge £40+ for something of the same standard.

What's your must have foundation?

Kerastase Initialiste

I won this in a L'oreal giveaway back in december and i've always had great experiences with Kerastase products in the past; so i was expecting great things from this product. I was disappointed at first, mainly because i was expecting instant results so i pushed it to the side. Around a month and a half ago i was drawn to it and began using it again. Again, nothing happened. I carried on using it anyway just to use it up so it wasn't lying around. I was admiring myself in a mirror and i noticed something different, overnight i had suddenly got the shiniest locks. The only thing i have changed in my routine in the past few weeks has been the addition of Initialiste.

The bottle doesn't look like it holds very much but you only need to apply 2 pippetes for thin hair and  3-4 pipettes if you have thicker hair onto the scalp in different areas and massage in with your fingers and style as normal. The product doesn't weigh your hair down and is very lightly scented. Although the price tag is hefty as you only need to apply the product a 2-3 times a week it lasts a long time. Buy (here) for £34.
