Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation Review

Long time no see blog friends. Now that summer's here, I'm hoping to have a few more blog posts up my sleeve, considering it won't be as busy at work. I'll keep them short and sweet, so I will get them out in a timely fashion of course. I got the chance to review Make Up For Ever Water Blend foundation, courtesy of Glam Sense. 

The Water Blend foundation is a super lightweight foundation, made with 80% water, and enriched with pro-vitamin B5. The coverage is super sheer, but buildable, and it's almost like your skin but better.

I got the shade Y305 - soft beige, which was a tad too light for me. but would probably be great for in the winter time. 

I am more of a full coverage foundation girl, but I thought I should give this a chance. I have a lot of discolouration around my eyes, pimples here and there, and redness basically everywhere. 

This is three layers of the foundation. I couldn't use the blender they provided, I felt like it was smearing the product around more than anything. I ended up using my fingers to blend it all out, and a damp Beauty Blender to buff it all out. You definitely have to wait at least a minute before each layer, because the foundation moves if it's not fully set. Even with 3 layers, you can still see my pimples, and a little bit of redness. It definitely looks natural, but not the best of coverage for my skin needs.

Here it is with a setting powder. The foundation itself feels like I'm wearing absolutely nothing. It gives you a dewy glow, which I presume is sought out for in the summer months. The one thing I disliked though was the scent. It has quite the strong fragrant smell, a bit floralish. Not the biggest fan of that. I would definitely wear it on days I don't feel like wearing a heavy foundation, but want some coverage, considering I don't have perfect skin.

I received this product free from Glam Sense by Topbox. All opinions are my own.

Lise Watier Hydraforce Hydra-Protective Comforting Creme Review

 Being a beauty blogger, reviewing good products is fun, and with that come the products we dislike. My least favourite thing to do is to write a review on something I didn't enjoy, but the most important thing is that I'm getting my point across on why I didn't like it. 

I got the opportunity to work with Glam Sense and Lise Watier to review the new Lise Watier Hydraforce Hydra-Protective Comforting Creme. 

The formula is suppose to protect and improve your skin against harsh, cold weather, and it's suggested for normal to dry skin. Having oily skin, I already had my doubts that this product would work for me. 

The cream was thick, gel-like and absorbed quickly into the skin. I felt like it was too heavy to wear underneath my make-up, so I only used it at night. I was not a huge fan of the perfume fragrance though. It was quite overpowering and a little nauseating for me. Though the product dried fairly quick, I felt like it was too heavy for my oily skin.

I also received a moisture checking device to use alongside the cream. It connected to my phone and once I downloaded the Hydraforce app, it would let me know my skin's moisture levels. For whatever reason, the device didn't work for me, so I don't have any stats to share with you guys! Every time I plugged it in, it stayed at 0% no matter how many times I tried or even when I reset my phone. Regardless, I didn't think I needed this device to know whether or not my skin was hydrated enough. 

Overall, the product was okay, but just didn't suit my skin concerns. I'm sure if I had very dry skin, this would work great for the dry winters.

This product was sent to me for reviewing and testing purposes.
