♥ My Favourite Foundation ♥


The skin on my face is a bundle of troubles. It is usually dry to combination but can vary suddenly to MEGA OVERLOAD dry which is literally impossible to work with. Not only that, I’m very fair skinned, “la peau anglaise” as the French say or “le milk bottle” as my Mum so kindly puts it. Between finding a product that would suit my skin tone and one that wouldn’t leave my skin as dry as a badger’s bum (excuse my French) I was left furiously trying product after product after product... with no luck whatsoever. 

My favourite foundation of all time!!!

All my wishes were granted whilst in England last year when I stumbled upon this little beauty! It is the Max Factor Xperience foundation in 30ml, retailed at £9.99 in Boots (click here) and by gosh does it do the job for me! It feels so creamy when you apply it and doesn’t feel heavy on your face! I’ve been using it every day for a year now and I still have a little bit left. It is well worth the money! It doesn’t dry out my skin and leaves it looking somewhat dewy and fresh. For the coverage I’d say it was a medium but I’m pretty sure you could build it up no problem! I’ve been using the shade Raw Silk 45, even though the colour is pretty close to my skin colour (compared to most foundations which make me look orange), I heard that there was an even lighter shade which will probably suit me even better (which I shall purchase soon *hee hee hee*)!  I really just love it! I hope this review might help someone  out who was in the same dilemma as me! 

Product on back of hand... it looks good enough to eat!




Please tell me below what YOUR favourite foundation is!
