Thought I'd tell you about my weekly boots shopping trip... I tend to go into boots on a weekly basis and buy stuff that I don't necessarily 'need' but it's more of a want really!
Anywhooo...I was slowly running outfoxed foundation and I usually wear Maxfactor Ageless Elixir in Light Ivory 40 but I fancied trying out the new No7 range and needed to get colour matched!
I spoke to a lovely lady at the No7 counter and explained that I wanted a full coverage foundation but wanted it to look natural and not heavy on the skin. She then took off all of my makeup using the No7 Beautiful Skin range (which is the skin care range that I use anyway)..
She then proceeded to colour match me using a very clever machine, she tested out both sides of my face and found that my left cheek came up as 'Calico' and my right cheek as 'Cool Vanilla'.
I was happy with the Cool Vanilla as it gave my skin a nice warm colour to it as I have a very fair complexion. The foundation that the lady recommended was 'Protect & Perfect - Younger Looking Skin Foundation' - this basically smoothes and moisturises for younger looking skin and gives you a flawless and radiant complexion!
After using this foundation I will usually add concealer under my eyes (depending how much sleep I've had?! zzz) and then add No7 Translucent Loose Powder to help smooth the foundation and hide any flaws etc.
In boots at the moment they have a 'Buy two No7 products and get a free Beauty Bag worth £28' and because I LOVE No7 I couldn't really resist so I decided to buy the new Limited Edition Tip Toes Nail Varnish from their Spring collection along with the foundation.
I was pleasantly surprised to find inside this really cute pink No7 bag some small travel sized products - Mulberry Moisture Drench Lipstick, Black Extreme Length Mascara, Mauve Stay Perfect Eyeshadow and Protect & Perfect Intense Day Cream'
What No7 products do you like or use? - Let me know!
Happy reading Guys!
