Actually Honest - skin care and make up reviews

Well, I don't even know when to start, but basically pretty much all of us are always on the look out for new products which actually work and we can them add them to our skincare routine. I've stopped listening to the products bloggers and Youtubers recommend for obvious reasons. So I would...

I'm trying to use crultey free products and vegan where possible. I rate Tropic and White Rabbit Skin Care. I've only tried the Tropic bb cream makeup wise and wouldn't rate it.
The Tresemme shampoo and conditioner makes my hair greasy too

I absolutely loved Boots foundation which was called 'Seventeen Stay Time Foundation' but they have discontinued it!
If anyone knows of a similar brand please let me know!! I haven't found anything that compares since.

Best -
Born this way foundation
UD Perversion mascara
Fenty lipglosses
Collection concealer
L'Oreal eyebrow pencil
Laura Mercier loose powder

Worst -
Benefit brow kit
Charlotte Tilbury matte lipsticks
Benefit hoola lite
UD Naked Skin foundation

Some of the bits I hate my friends absolutely love so I think it definitely depends on skin textures, tones etc. However, we all agree that the CT lipsticks are awful

After many years of using Clinique foundation, I moved over to Estee Lauder Double Wear Water Fresh Foundation, a couple of years ago.

It is amazing.

Make sure you also buy the pump for it, it saves so much wastage of foundation

thank you I couldn't find a thread when I looked x

My worst was that younique mascara all the huns were flogging a few years ago. It ran and made my eyes sting

Best is hypnose drama mascara and mac studiofix fluid for the range of shades as i have quite a yellow tone to my skin.

 

[coconochanel]

I really like.....
Loreal glow Cherie its a natural glow enhancer and I'd say a good dupe of Charlotte Tilburys Hollywood flawless filter. Loreals is £10 CT is £32.
Primark's lustre lipsticks
Mac foundation
Maybelline 24 hr gel liner
Rimmel lip liners.

I'm still looking for a good Mascara to lengthen and thicken so any suggestions would be welcome.

Did you know Mac have bought out a few new foundations which are more yellow based C40 C45 and some others?

Can anyone recommend a good exfoliating cleanser to add into my PM routine please?

I keep my skin care vary basic as I have highly, highly sensitive skin. If I use too many products or anything strong I go bright red, burn up and flare red. Aside from sensitive it's typically combination and rarely get spots.

At the moment I use;

Nip fab - Glyclonic cleanser AM
Drunk Elephant Lala retro whipped cream moisturiser

PM
Body Shop - Chamomile cleanser to remove make up
Bioderma micellar water to ensure everything is removed. I cannot use toners as my skin flares
Sunday Riley - Juno

Looking to add something after the bioderma step just to ensure my skin is sparkling clean!!

What shade do you wear?

 

[Apple In My Pie]

Love:
- Chanel lipstick in shade ‘boy’ (I got it because margot robbie likes it and I love margot robbie It’s so soft and nourishing)
- Chanel waterproof mascara (doesn’t run whatsoever. I wore it in the swimming pool on holiday - fab!)
- MAC lipstick. Gorgeous colour and coverage, goes on like silk.
- Rimmel lip crayons. Gorgeous and soft on the lips, easy to use and the colour lasts for ages even after drinking/eating
- Glossier milky jelly cleanser - use it religiously and have noticed my skin is brighter and my eyebags disappearing!
- Primark coconut and lime hand cream - really gorgeous Scent and makes my hands feel really soft. It’s cheap yes but doesn’t make me itch/sting like other cheap cosmetics (Zoella beauty I'm looking at you)

Hate:
- sleek ‘matte me’ liquid lip range. Nice colours but they settle in all the cracks and lines of your lips and are really drying
- too faced eyeshadows. I got given a palette for Christmas. Gorgeous colours but you need to pack so much on for them to show and they fade quick!
- models own nail polishes. They will peel off of your nails within a day or two of application and the quality is hit and miss - they’re either really thickly formulated or really thin and watery and need loads of coverage.
