Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation

Hi loves!

Sooo it's been a very hectic time lately...I was thinking about my next post and I thought that I will share with you my favourite concealer and foundation. I'm talking here about the Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation and a concealer from the same brand in the nr 010 - Porcelain 😊

I first came across this foundation by accident... my friend bought it about 8 months ago, but it turned out to be to dark for her skin tone (she bought the shade 010 - light beige- that is the lightest shade out of the 4-shade range →and this fact is a big drawback...this foundation range only contains 4 shades all together). So she gave it to me, because my skin is a bit darker and it fit me perfectly 😍

I have combination to oily skin and for me it's hard to find a good foundation that would last the whole day.

With this one you get 30 ml of product in a nice looking glass bottle. It has a dropper that makes it easier to get the foundation and it also controls the amount of product you use. It has a subtle kind of a baby cream scent to it but it's really light so it shouldn't bother anyone. This foundation is said to:

1. last up to 24 hours
2. it's supposed to be a mattifying foundation
3. it should act as a "second skin"

This foundation is very liquid as it is water-based, but it's very well pigmented. It honestly feels light on the skin. It has a nice coverage. It's not a full coverage foundation, more medium one, but it is easy to build it up to a fuller coverage. I heard that it oxidizes but it hasn't happened with me (thankfully!) It dries quickly to a satin matte finish. 

As for the concealer...I love it! It's really cheap for a concealer that works as good as this one. It has a nice coverage that covers dark circles under my eyes and I also use it as my eye primer/ base for my eyeshadows 😜

What about you...have you tried it? Let me know what you think about them!

Till next time! xoxo

L'oreal (not exactly)true match...

Hi everyone!

I have been using the HD Liquid Coverage Foundation  for a while now, and I absolutely love it (I will give you my review on this one soon 😘). But still I decided that this time I needed something new to try. I heard my best friend praising about the L’Oreal True Match foundation. I kept on wondering about it, and I decided to give this product a try. 
Here is what it looks like:

I really love the presentation of this product: an elegant glass bottle with a plastic pump. The pump mechanism works well. It is also covered with a lid that clicks on securely. The only problem is that the pump can get a little dirty as it can be seen on the pics. But it is not that terrible because it can be cleaned really fast 👍.

So after using it on my oily skin and also on my cousins more dry skin (she wanted to try it too) I think that it's a quite good every day foundation, but maybe not for us 😢

It's not that I hate it cause I love the texture of the product itself. It's lightweight and feels light on the skin, but for me the coverage was a little too light, I have redness and prefer a fuller coverage. I also found it became patchy after some time and also clung to my cousins dry patches. For me, it was also difficult to put it on. I have tried fingers and my brushes. You could see the strokes on my face where it was applied. I finally decided to put it on with my beauty blender but it sat on top of a dry skin.

 

Overall this foundation isn't bad, but it's not the greatest ever either. It doesn't last super long, but that's to be expected as it's not a longwear foundation. Having said that I would not recommend this product for women having extremely dry or extremely oily skin as this product can get too runny at times making the skin too greasy and looking dry. And what do you think about this one?

Hope that my review helped you! Follow!!

Till next time! xoxo
