Hi Ladies!
Yep another post so soon lol :) But I feel a bit more organised today so I thoight I would share with you couple of recent purchase's I made. I'm especially loving the necklace that you see below, isn't it a beauty?
And not forgetting my lovely drugstore foundation from 'Max Factor' which this post is all about.
The new addition is their new 'Whipped Creme Foundation' for £7.99. You can buy here
Now since the fall/autumn has come in I've been looking around for a mattish foundation that wouldn't break the bank and I saw this new addition to the Max Factor foundation family and thought why not!
It has been a while since I've bought anything from Max Factor. There used to be time where I couldn't live without their pressed powder and red lippies back in the day's...
This foundation comes in a lovely glass jar and feels and looks quite sophisticated as you would expect with Max Factor.
The foundation it self is a smooth mousse like consistency and feels like whipped air on your skin as you wear it. The name does do justice to how it feels and actually is a lovely cooling experience on your skin.
This foundation is a demi matt effect foundation so your face shouldn't look as flat as it would with a full matt foundation. It promises a demi matt radiant finish which hydrates your skin at the same time.
For me this foundation is lovely on my combination skin when it has been well moisturised otherwise it can cling a little to dry patches but it does give a lovely light to medium coverage without looking cakey.
This is best used with your finger tips as it gives more control as a little does go a long way and as with most matt effect foundations I usually finish off by stippling with my RealTechniques Stippling Foundation brush to give it a more air brushed look.
The foundation is oil free and fragrance free so it's ideal for those with sensitive skin and for combination skin as well.
I don't feel even though it is oil free that it's suitable for oily skin types as my t-zone did get a little shiny around the 3 hour mark and I needed a touch of powder. This maybe because of the whipped formulation which gives it the natural coverage without looking heavy.
This foundation unfortunately only comes in 4 shades :( and the shade that I picked up is 'Golden' which is the darkest that I could find.
A note for Max Factor! please add some more shades as this foundation isn't bad at all for the price tag so you guys are doing something right apart from the shade selection.
The shade Golden is a tad light for me but is great with a bronzer as it does warm up and doesn't stay as pale as it looks when you first put it on.
This foundation needs no powder on top unless you are very oily or have combination skin where as I've mentioned already you may need to blot or powder.
This foundation does wear off around the 6 hour mark but it is easy enough to touch up where you may need to without looking to heavy.
Me wearing the foundation!
Do let me know what you guys think? Have you tried this foundation or is there a matt foundation that you cannot live without already? Would love to know :)
Au revoir for now lovelies

I haven't used a Max factor foundation in such a long time! I don't know whether I'll be trying this though as I hate foundations that cling to dry patches on my face x

Hi Anya! I hadn't tried Max Factor in years either. It is a shame it sticks to the dry patches otherwise it's good value for money.
DeleteThank you for visting. Will drop by you rblog soon.
