Like, Love, Loath #2

LIKE 

Weleda One Step Cleanser & Toner 

I've been using this as a bit of a lazy back up if I don't want to go through my entire cleansing regime but don't want to fall back on the naughty face wipe. All it takes is a quick swipe of a cotton pad and a quick rinse of water and I feel happy enough to hit the hay. I don't see this taking place of my proper cleanser but it's a good quick fix.

LOVE

Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in Quickie

I used to wear this all the time back in the good old uni days, and I've only recently resurrected by love affair with it. As the summer has mainly been all about peach and coral tones, this cool toned pink hasn't really had a chance. But now the seasons appear to be shifting it looks lovely with a simple cat eye and a pink balm on the lips.

LOATH

MAKE UP FOREVER HD FOUNDATION

The fact that I spent a large amount of euros on this only annoys me even more that I really don't like it. I think this is partly down to my choice of shade (just slightly too yellow) but I haven't found a single way to apply this without it looking caked on and streaky. I've tried a multitude of brushes, sponges, just my plain old fingers and they all look less than HD. It's just not for me.

Do you agree/disagree with any of these products? 

Let me know!

Like, Love, Loath #1.

I spotted this lovely little idea for a post over on Lauren's blog, and decided to join the gang.

LIKE - MAC Studio Sculpt

I go through phases with MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer. Sometimes I love the coverage it gives, and other times I think it's far too thick. But at the moment, after a concerted effort to use it up, I actually really like using this under the eyes. It's not one of my favourite products, but I can live with it. 

 LOVE - Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Coral

I have a new found love for rouge, and Revlon Colorburst in Coral has come out on top. I wouldn't actually say this is a coral at all, more bright fire engine red. It's not drying and really goes the distance if you pop a lip liner on underneath. J'adore.

LOATH - Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I gave this a whirl last week. It did not impress. 

I don't consider myself to have oily skin, but I was powdering on the hour, every hour when I wore this. I also noticed that it oxidises quite badly and I felt on the wrong side of orange by the end of the day. I'm sorry Maybelline, but this wasn't a hit for me.

What are your likes, loves and loathings this week?
