The Best Drugstore Foundation Ever?!



I think I may have found my holy grail of all drugstore foundations and the praises that have been sung of the L'Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Matte foundation are much deserved. My skin is super oily in the t-zone area and fairly normal everywhere else so I usually have a hate/hate relationship with foundations. They are often either too dewy and just make my face look like a shiny mess, or they are too matte and leave dry patches around my face. This foundation however is the perfect in-between and I'm so happy it's nope a part of my make-up stash. 

This L'Oreal foundation provides a good medium to full coverage depending on how much you build it up and despite it being matte, it does have a surprisingly luminous finish while not being shiny or drying in the slightest - my skin has found its perfect foundation! I use the shade Vanilla, which is a near-perfect match to my skin tone and in all honesty, despite me never actually wearing a foundation for 24 hours as that's crazy, this does last all day (nine-ten hours) without a primer so I'm pretty sure the long-lasting claims are correct! 

Have you tried this foundation? What is your holy grail drugstore foundation?

Eyeko Black Magic Mascara


I would like to make a bold beauty statement in today's post. I think I have found my holy grail mascara. Yes I know, bold. I'm constantly trying out different mascaras in the hopes when I thought I was destined to settle with one of the other, along came Kylie Jenner and her fabulous instagram that introduced me to Eyeko's Black Magic mascara which she claimed, to be her go-to choice for awards season! I did initially just buy this mascara because she said she loved it so much (ridiculous I know!) but having tried it throughout the whole month of January, I can honestly say it has quickly reached holy grail status.
