My first Face Of the Day and a brave one!

This is the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow I got free in the gift pack. Its ok, patchy application though, will dampen the brush next time. Keep the black disc, it keeps the powder pressed down, even if you shake it (of course I did!) the shadow is still patted down. This is shade Hour Glass BeigeOk, so I am not blonde! But this red caught my attention, the raspberry shade was far too pink, so went for this in Cassis Passion and its pretty nice, smells of Parma Violets though, which I hate!



The lippie is pretty glossy, as this is my first foray into red lips for a long time, I blotted twice to take the shine away. Maybe when I am braver I will leave it!

So products used

Garnier BB Cream Review!

please excuse my non sleep morning face, eeeeek!
I went for this in light as medium was 2 shades too dark, light is fairly pink toned, medium slightly more orange/yellow
The texture is pretty moisturiser like, unlike Cliniques Moisture Surge, this is easily applied, spreads like a dream and barely any blending was needed.
Once blended it is almost invisible on the back of my hand.
Ta-da! Scuse the awful photography and light, its grey here! But this is actually quite nice, it smells lovely, as most of Garniers moisturisers do. I feel the coverage is just right for me, at this time of the month, ie, no spots! Its quite a luminous finish, I did need a touch of powder on my t-zone, but I have combination skin.
I didn't use blusher after I finished my make-up as this is sheer enough to allow my natural colour through, normally a bug bear but this masks some of the ruddy red I get. I actually love it! Not something I would use for a night out but I want to try this over the primer I am getting today to see how it fairs. All in all, a worthy buy, even at full price.
Garnier BB Cream is available in Light and Medium and RRP is £9.99 currently from Boots and Superdrug
