Review: Inglot AMC Cream Foundation



So since I have to sit here with a hair dye on my hair for 30min I figured out  that I will write a review of one of the worst foundations ever. As you can see from the title I will be reviewing Inglot AMC Cream Foundation. Im pretty sure that lots of you heard about Inglot eyeshadows. If you want to know more about Inglot, click here.

Inglot claims that apparently this is a "full coverage illuminating foundation". Bulshit, "more like no coverage make me shine like a disco ball foundation". Ok so when I was in Inglot to pick up their brush cleaner I figured out I might as well try out one of their foundations. The reason that I picked this foundation was the fact that it matched my skin colour and tone 100%.

Ok lets talk about the advantages first, first advantage is the fact that it comes in a plastic bottle with a pump which is hygienic and perfect for clumsy people like me. And thats when the advantages end. Now onto disadvantages:

-none to very little coverage. Inglot claim that this foundation provides "full illuminating coverage", yeah...what ever that means. It actually has less coverage than a tinted moisturiser

-the "illuminating" properties; ok so when I tried out this foundation on the back of my hand, I could see that it gives a nice healthy glow, however once I applied it on my face I it was a bit too shiny for me, but a bit of powder did a job and I ended up with what I call a nude finish; matt but not too matt. So once I finished my make up I left my house. After two hours I looked in the mirror and the worst thing you can imagine happen, I looked like I smear oil all over my face. The foundation was long gone and I was left with extremely oily skin.

-staying power; as I mentioned this foundation lasted only about two hours.

-price; this foundation retail for £16 here in UK, I think thats a lot for this kind of foundation.

So overall I think this is one of the worst foundations that I ever used and I rated it 1/5.

Price:£16

Avalible from: Inglot stores and online

Dior 'Les Rouges Or' Christmas Makeup Collection 2011

I absolutely love this new Dior collection. If I would have to pick my favourite item from the collection, it probably  be the chocolate brown nail polish called EXQUIS in the last picture :-)

Mini Haul 2

Today I went into Superdrug to pick up my favourite face powder; NYC Smooth Skin loose powder , however it turned out that its sold out, so I decided to try the Collection 2000 Pressed Powder. After trying all different range of face powders from different brands such as Mac, Clinique, Rimmel, Loreal, NYC, you name it, I know that there really is no difference what brand you use, most of the times the only difference is a price.

When I was about to go to the tills I remembered that I need to get a new kabuki brush, however what caught my eye wasn't a kabuki brush, it was the Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge which apparently is a Beauty Blender dupe which costs about £15 here in UK so you can imagine how happy I was when I realised that the Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge was only £4.99.



Collection 2000 Pressed Powder - £1.99 from Superdrug

Mini Haul 1

For past few months I wanted to try out the Revlon ColorStay foundation because lots of make up and beauty gurus say that its better than Mac Studio Fix Fluid, so since Mac Studio Fix Fluid makes me break out like crazy every time I use it, I decided to try Revlon ColorStay. Mine is for Combination/Oily Skin in 150 Buff which is a perfect shade for me, its beigy with a hint on yellow.


I also picked up a Natural Collection eyeshadow in Milk Chocolate to fill my eyebrows with, however its slightly to dark, but perfect for a "no make up" make up look.



I also picked up some make up sponges to apply my Revlon ColorStay with.



Finally I picked up a new mirror, but its not just any mirror. Its the No7 Illuminated Make Up Mirror. The two reasons I decided to get this particular mirror, first is that I was tried of using a standard mirror and a lamp to get a good lighting  and second that it was on offer, normally its £49.99, but currently its on offer for £19.99 . Personally I don't think that its worth the full price, but at £19.99 its just an amazing bargain.





Revlon ColorStay Foundation - £12.49 from Boots
Natural Collection Eyeshadow - £1.79 from Boots
No7 Illuminated Make Up Mirror - £19.99 from Boots
Make up sponges - £0.99 from discount UK

Review: Dead Sea Natural Black Mud Mask Soap

Having a very oily and acne prone skin I always struggled to find a cleanser that would clear my spots without drying my skin. I have tried probably every single brand out the; Clinique, Liz Earl, Clarins, Witch, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Garnier, Neutrogena and so on.

About two weeks ago I was at my local Boots looking for a new cleanser since I run out of my La Roche Posay Effaclar cleanser. Somehow I ended up in soaps section and then I remembered that few weeks ago I read somewhere about Dead Sea products and how good they are for acne prone skin. There were two soaps, the first one was just a dead seen cleaning soap and the second one was the Natural Black Mud Mask Soap. I decided to go for the second one because I liked the idea of using it as a mask to. So I picked it up and went to the tills and then want back home. Obviously I had to use right away. On the box it said to leave it on a face for 3 mins and then rinse it off with WARM water, (its really important that you use warm water because otherwise it will leave a weird sticky film on your skin) Even that it said to leave it for 3mins I decided to leave it on for much much longer, about 3 hours. After 3 hours I rinsed it of and I have to say that my skin never felt so soft, also my spots appeared so much smaller just after one use. I was just shocked how good this is.

I have been using this for over 3 weeks now and Im loving it. I use it twice a day, leave it on for 3mins. My skin is so clear now, its just amazing. Also when I use this at night, I don't use a moisturizer after rinsing it off because the soap its slightly moisturizing, but doesn't make your skin greasy.

Price: £3.49
