Your tips on how to look more Groomed, Glamorous or Polished #5

Any recommendations for a really hydrating, dewy foundation that still has decent coverage? Does that exist?

The Missha BB cream might be worth a shot! It's quite dewy on me, great for drier skin and has pretty decent coverage as well. The shade selection can be a bit tricky though, especially for darker skintones.

And for lighter too. My skin looked ashy.

I should add (to my disappointing IT cosmetics bit) that I've been adding a bit of Glossier Futuredew to my temporary 'tide me over' revlon colorstay foundation which makes it quite glowy and nicer looking.

I really liked the IT cosmetics CC as well but I've not had it long and it's started to oxidise on me, really not great if you're cool toned! Same with the Tarte Shape Tape I bought. So I'm also on the hunt for the same sort of foundation, @yourecutejeans

I really like the Giorgio Armani liquid silk foundation, made my skin look really good. I am finishing off and IT Cosmetics CC in medium neutral, it does oxidise a bit on me but not too bad, but I won’t buy it again

What are your opinions on good "cheaper" shampoo and conditioners? I have all the expensive stuff but everything "builds bonds" etc. but doesn't leave my hair moisturised.... have looked at this L’Oréal Elvive Hydra Hyaluronic Acid Shampoo a few times.... anyone here used it!?

 

[Thank(space)you]

My friend posted a selfie and her lashes were incredible turns out she used that UK lash stuff you're all recommending so I've bit the bullet and bought it

Yes, used it plus conditioner. Only used it a couple of times. Wasn’t impressed. My hair is very thirsty and it just wasn’t doing the biz for me.

The pink bottle Alfaparf? Highly recommend that range, it’s sooo moisturising. If your in UK check out just my look website it’s so much cheaper on there

I’ve been using this range for a few months and it leaves my hair really soft and shiny. I have fair, very fine hair for reference.

I also bought this recently and found jt leaves my hair super dry! Wasn’t impressed. I prefer the orange range (the water thing is really good!)

My favourite shampoo/conditioner though is kerastase unfortunately expensive but worth it I think!

I tried the orange range and it made my hair frizzier than usual. I do like the wonder water though!
