Product Review – L’Oreal Color Appeal Trio Pro

Product Review – L’Oreal Color Appeal Trio Pro

I generally wear make up every single day, unless I’m really really sick and have no intention what so ever of climbing out of my super comfy bed.  Whether it’s to go to the shops, work, the doctor or even walking the dog, I really do feel naked without my bit of slap.  I have [...]

Product Review – L’Oreal Matte Morphose Soufflé Foundation

Product Review – L’Oreal Matte Morphose Soufflé Foundation

As a person with oily skin I was excited to try out this product as it claimed to leave your skin Matte but luminous at the same time.  It sounded far too good to be true, as I usually have to load my skin with a brushing of powder after I apply my foundation. But, [...]
