Max Factor Creme Puff

I have mentioned my Max Factor Crème Puff powder a couple of times recently, so thought I would write a full review for you. I received this for Christmas and used it a lot to start with, however it hasn't maintained a permanent place in my everyday makeup routine.

 

As I have mentioned before, there is quite a strong scent to this. I personally love it and scents don't tend to bother me. Do bear that in mind though if you don't like scented products! I have this in the shade translucent, which does have quite a bit of colour to it. This disappointed me a little, as I am pale and this can go a bit orange on my skin. I don't use too much of this because as well as being a bit dark, it feels very heavy on the skin.

 

I will keep this, however my favourite powder is still my Rimmel Stay Matte!

New makeup editions: Face

I posted my Everyday Makeup routine last week and thought I would go into more detail on some of the new editions to my makeup collection.

The Rimmel Match Perfection foundation is a new foundation to me and I love it. The colour, Light Porcelain, is a perfect match for my skin. It feels very lightweight and provides slightly buildable coverage. Once applied, this just leaves my skin looking natural and even, with a slight glow.

I posted a comparison of the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint concealer and my Bobbi Brown Corrector last week which you may be interested in. I really like using creamy concealers under my eyes and this one from Seventeen is amazing. It covers any discolouration perfectly, whilst not being too thick, heavy or creasing. I find it blends very well and stays put all day! Someone told me they use this on blemishes, so I may give that a go. I don't know if anything could beat my beloved Collection Lasting Perfection concealer though!



The Max Factor Crème Puff powder has a lovely scent to it. If you don't like scented products then you may not like this, as I find it is quite powerful. The shade I have is translucent, however I find it does have a bit of colour to it and if I put a lot on, it looks too dark. This controls my oily nose well without leaving my skin looking matte and dull. I don't like using a powder that's going to make my skin look dull, as I love the radiant finish my foundation provides.

My final new edition is the Clarins Face and Blush powder. The colours in this are gorgeous and together create a natural glow to the skin. There is a gold strip of glitter on this, however after a couple of uses it completely goes. I love focusing this on my cheeks and then bringing it onto my forehead and nose with a big fluffy brush.

My everyday makeup : 2

For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive some lovely new makeup products. I have also bought a couple of new products recently and love them, so have started using them everyday!

 

Recently I bought the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I bought this a couple of years ago, however I had it in the shade darker which didn't match me, so I never wore it. The colour I bought the other week is 010, Light Porcelain which matches me perfectly.

 

Under my eyes I use my new Seventeen Phwoarr Paint concealer. I am scheduling a comparison post of this and the Bobbi Brown Corrector soon, so you can read my thoughts!

 

The Collection Lasting Perfection concealer is a product I have used and loved for ages. It does the job of covering blemishes perfectly, whilst also being an amazing price!

 

I received the Max Factor Crème Puff powder for Christmas and have been wearing it almost everyday since. It has a scent to it, so if you don't like scented products this may not be for you, however I think it's lovely.

 

My parents bought me the Clarins Graphic Expression Face and Blush powder for Christmas. This product is gorgeous and gives my skin a lovely colour. The colour it gives is suitable for using all over the face as it's very natural. I focus this more on my cheeks and then dust any extra across my forehead, nose and chin.

 

I use Mac Charcoal Brown eye shadow through my eyebrows and then set that with Maybelline BrowDrama. These products together leave my eye brows looking natural and defined.

 

The L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara is a new release I believe. I saw it in Boots the other week and being the mascara lover I am, had to buy it! I really love how this leaves my lashes looking.

 

I really like the Revlon lip butters as they leave my lips moisturised and soft with a nice hint of colour. The colour I use is Strawberry Shortcake which is very pretty, plus the colour is buildable.

 

I used a few of these products in my New Years Eve makeup video, so you can watch that if you'd like to see how I apply them.

 

I may post an everyday makeup video soon, so then you can see how all of these products apply. Let me know if you would be interested in watching that!
