Make Up Forever Pro Finish Powder

Your eyes do not deceive you, it is me! I'm back - it's been a chaotic few weeks which had meant that I've not found time to blog. So as it's Sunday afternoon and I'm at a loose end I thought I would treat you to a post :) I can tell you're all pleased. 

Now, the product I am reviewing here is Make Up Forever Pro Finish powder foundation which I picked up in Sephora - Barcelona on a recent holiday. 

I wouldn't normally stray away from my longest standing product in my make up bag, my MAC studio fix powder foundation - but there was lots of hype around this product in store and so I was captivated. 

This powder can be applied wet or dry so you can customise how you wear it, but for me powder foundation sits on top of my liquid foundation to mattify my skin. I have never found a product that comes close to my MAC powder but this one has changed my mind. So much so that since purchasing, I've used it every day. 

The texture is slightly lighter and doesn't sit as heavy on the skin but still provides to matte, even finish to my complexion that I love. 

I apply my powder with a brush rather than a sponge but a sponge is provided if that's how you prefer to wear your foundation and is also handy if you apply the product wet - something which I don't do. 

I was matched as colour 120 - Neautral Ivory but it is available in 24 different shades. 

The only draw back? It's pretty pricey. I picked mine up during a 15% off event in Sephora but now I'm home and looking onlinev upwards of £35 for 10g. 

I do love this product but my bank balance prefers the MAC studio fix option and whilst I would purchase this product again I would keep it for going out rather than everyday wear. 

Have you tried Make Up Forever products? What did you think of them?

OPI Liquid Sand - Alcatraz Rocks

This is my first OPI Liquid Sand purchase, I never really fancied one before but this colour looked amazing so I had to buy it! 

Application is quick and easy and you don't need a steady hand to apply this polish as it's pretty fool proof. Coverage is great in one coat but two coats looks better and there is no need for a top coat. 

The only draw back is that I didn't find it as long lasting as normal nail polish and it did chip quite quickly - it was however easy to top up on any chips as the coverage is good and it blended in. 

As with any textured polish it is a nightmare to get off but if you have enough time to soak it, it will come off easily. 

OPI liquid sand polish is available online but I purchased mine in John Lewis for £11. 

Have you tried liquid sand?
