The Body Shop Fresh Nude Cushion Foundation

I love a good full coverage foundation but recently I've been on the hunt for a nice light to build able foundation that isn't completely matte..... the not real 'foundation or makeup look' and I think I've found it. 

The Body Shop new Fresh New Cushion Foundation €25.50

It's in a compact style but is a liquid foundation... this is the perfect product for on the go in your hand bag. 

As you can see it has a sponge like applicator so theirs no pump you literally press on the cushion and the foundation comes to the top of the sponge. This is great because theirs no mess or spill like some liquid foundations.

So let's get down to it....

It's a semi-matte foundation meaning it's not quite matte but not too sheer or glowing. It's a lovely natural looking foundation when applied and is very buildable to a medium coverage. This is ideal for me for daily foundations as I like full coverage and find BB creams just don't cut it for daily use. 

It comes with a compact sponge which is perfectly fine to use just make sure you pat it onto the skin rather than drag the sponge across the face. Your just pulling on the product. I use a flat foundation brush or a larger stippling brush and pat and bounce onto and into the skin. This gives a flawless finish to the skin. 

The shade I have is 03 Malawi Beach. It would be lovely for a paler skin with a light tan on if that makes sense? 

The foundation itself is vegan friendly, moisturising from Marula Oil. It also contains Rose water which is great on sensitive skin and Aloe Vera. Its a mineral product so designed to last 24 hours and with powder over it there's no reason for it not to last that long. It also is non-comodegenic which means it won't clog your mores... now who doesn't love that! 

It comes in 5 shades so it will suit a variety of skin tones. 

This foundation would be ideal for younger skin too so great for anyone out their looking to find products for their daughters to wear. 

Overall it's a lovely light foundation that gives the skin a nice glow. I'll be keeping it in my makeup bag for day to day wearing or if going on holidays :) 

Have you tried this foundation?

Glove Your Body Dual Facial Cleansing & Exfoliation Pad

A couple of weeks ago the lovely Valerie from Glove Your Body kindly sent me the NEW Dual Facial Cleansing & Exfoliation Pad :)
(This is not a paid post)

 I was delighted when it arrived... as a lot of you already know I'm a massive fan of the Tanning Mitt and the Exfoliating Mitt, so I couldn't wait to give this a try.

The Dual Facial Cleansing & Exfoliating Pad is prices at €9.99 and is a unique duo pad. One side is a  daily cleansing pad and on the other its a exfoliation pad.
Now this to me is defiantly an essential for everyone out there both women AND MEN!! Yes I said it men too. They need to look after their skin just as much as we do.

So on one side is a soft muslin cloth which gently removes dirt and makeup. It ccan be used on its own to or you can apply your cleansing product and remove with the muslin cloth on the pad.

On the other side is the exfoliation pad which is the unique exfoliating material that is used in the exfoliating mitt (which is amazing) This side can be used to remove any stringer makeup products, a long with removing any dead skin cells by giving you a light exfoliation.

 

 

My thoughts:

I absolutely LOVED it! With it being small and compact it is perfect for popping into your makeup bag for on the go, short breaks aways or just for storing in the bathroom with out taking up too much room or needing to have too many products. It really is a multi purpose product.

The handle which can be switched over to the opposite side is great, it holds the pad on your hand and doesn't slip off. I was a little worried that it would happen when swiping it across my face but it stayed in place.

 

Appearance wise I love how it ties in with the rest of the Glove Your Body colour themes and looks part of the family. I love a good print :)

 

When I was using the cleansing side I've used it both with and without a cleansing product. I found for more waterproof or stubborn makeup products using a cleaning product with it will remove the all makeup which is fab! The muslin side was super soft on my skin and as many of you already know I'm extremely sensitive to almost EVERYTHING but my God this felt great on my skin. There was no redness or irritation left on the skin.

 

The exfoliation side I left only for exfoliating my skin I didn't use it for removing more stubborn or waterproof products... you can but my skin as I said is very sensitive and I didn't want to be rubbing this on my eyes or a lot on my skin as I find you'd have to rub back and forth a bit to remove gel liner etc.

This side for exfoliation however was also AMAZING you only had to gently glide this side over the skin and any excess or dead skin just came away without any redness left on the skin. What I done was dampen down the face first and them wiped this side over the skin. The material is the same as the exfoliating mitt and I love that mitt it literally removes any false tan, dead skin without leaving your skin sore, red or irritated so I was hoping it would be just as good for the face and it was!!!

 

I have been using the pad since I got it and wanted to really test it out and give it a proper review and let everyone know how I got on with it, and I'm loving it!! It washes great. I wash it after every use either with my cleanser or soft soap and it washes up back to new. I would advise that you wash it after every use also as you are using it clean your skin and remove dead skin so you don't want to be cleaning your skin with a pad that has dirt on it each time as this will give you spots, sore eyes, and even skin infections :(  so keep it clean!

 

I want to show everyone how well it works for removing makeup without a cleansing product and exfoliating the skin.

 

This is before I used the pad and as you can see I have quite a bit of makeup on and product in my brows.

 

 

This is after and how clean my skin looks a long with feeling super smooth and no redness to the skin even after exfoliating straight after removing makeup.
