BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT: memo

This month's blogger spotlight is slightly different to the usual beauty blogger. A few weeks ago i came across Helens' blog and instantly fell in love with her illustrations, she specialises in screen printing onto recycled card. Helen kindly sent me some of her artwork, the illustration are so cute and would make perfect gifts; father's day on the 19th!

no make up, make up

You know that feeling when you don't want to wear make up but you have to go out somewhere. I normally get this on Sundays and I can't brave going outside with a naked face! These products I use for a 'no make up make up look'. 

• highlighter
• tinted moisturiser
• eyelash curlers
• concealer
• Vaseline
• blusher

I might occasionally add a cheeky bit of mascara :)

This is my natural make up look, and perfect now the weather is warming up!

revlon photoready compact foundation - review

I decided to try this foundation as I'm a fan of Revlon's Photoready liquid foundation. Skip to the bottom of this post for a quick review :)


What they say:
"-Perfected, poreless airbrushed skin in any light
-Liquefying screen turns cream to liquid, then dries to a soft powder finish
-Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to help erase every flaw
-Complete, yet virtually undetectable coverage.
-Soft luminous finish."

The liquefying screen it comes with makes the whole process a little messy, however you can remove it! It has a creamy texture and blends really easily into the skin.

When I first applied it I was disappointed with the coverage. It was more light than full, and didn't cover my blemishes or under eye dark circles. 

However, when I photographed myself wearing the foundation it came up so much nicer in the photos! So I suppose being a photoready foundation, It does do it's job really well and gives the skin a flawless finish. Without flash shows the results i was seeing, with flash it erased my flaws by reflecting light.

Good things:

• soft matte finish
• photographs well with flash
• easy to apply
• comes with mirror

Bad thing:

• doesn't give full coverage
• liquefying screen makes it difficult to apply

Overall this is a good foundation if your having photographs taken. I'll probably use it on top of my colourstay foundation as a powder to set it.

Has anyone else tried this?
