Foundation Swatches

Even though I've previously uploaded a post with foundation swatches (here) I thought it was worth revisiting as I've got rid of some and purchased others, also the picture quality was pretty shocking. I find it incredibly helpful picking foundation shades by looking at other peoples swatches so hopefully this will help some of you. I've photographed each set twice, hoping to get a clearer shot or catch them in a different light, so here...

He-Shi Self Tanning Products

From the moment I discovered self tanners I knew there was no turning back. I have extremely pale skin with freckles that burns incredibly easily meaning I can never achieve a natural tan and could rarely find foundations that were white enough to match with my skintone. I love that with a swipe of a tanning mit I can wake up in the morning, transformed into a Golden Goddess (so to speak) so I have tried a decent amount of self tanners...

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner

After a little browse around town last week I ended up buying the new Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner. It's currently on an introductory offer for £5.99 instead of £7.99, so if you're thinking of picking it up go get it now and save yourself some money.I've never tried gel eyeliners before purely because I thought they would transfer on to my eyelid and be difficult to apply... Oh, how I was wrong.The product comes in a little glass...

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Cream Blush

Shade: GingerPrice: £1.50Available From: Fragrance DirectThis was another last minute add to the basket while I was shopping on Fragrance Direct a few weeks ago. I love cream blushers, Sally Hansen is a well known brand and for £1.50 even if it turns out to be a disaster of a product you haven't really missed out on much.On first look the blush looked far darker than I would usually go for and I'd describe the colour as a burnt coral-red....
