Loreal Review

Well, Hello there. Long time no see, huh?! I'm going through my not wanting

to blog phase that I often hit... boo. But, I've been thinking about trying to do a

post per day with a review. What do you think? I have said often that I blog about

things I want or buy, but feel like I don't do as many actual reviews on these products

and give my feedback.

I don't know why I didn't do this during Lent when I wasn't shopping... this would have

been a perfect project, but sometimes my ideas are like a great afterthought.

Anyway, I'm going to try to commit to doing more reviews on products I own and

am currently using and give my opinions of why I love them, hate them, or am

indifferent on.

I have been using Loreal Magic Souffle Foundation for a couple of months now

and can honestly say I LOVE it. I bought this as a back up foundation for some of my high

end stuff I use and in the process has become my new fave!! This can be purchased at any drugstore or Target or Wal-mart for around 11-15 dollars.

When I first started using I wasn't in love with it b/c it does have a much

different texture that what I had been used to. It does have a whipped

souffle feel to it. It leaves my face with more of a matte powdery effect and at first I didn't

like that. I had been using Make Up Forever HD foundation which had a much more

dewy luminous finish. After using for a few weeks I really started to love the way my skin

looked when wearing this foundation. I never felt like I got oily or shiny and my

skin just had a very natural even tone to it.

When first applied you may think your face looks a little too matte or powdery, but just

let it set into your skin and do it's job and see how great your skin/face looks later in the day.

I think you will be impressed!

(see texture above)

I apply this foundation with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush (sold at Ulta) or with my

fingers for a more natural finish. I have been picking this foundation over a very high

end foundation I bought at Sephora by Hourglass. I just am in love with this foundation

and what it does for my skin.

Loreal claims that this foundation:

"Creates a flawless , silky, even toned finish and when applies daily will achieve

smooth poreless perfection."

I feel like it does all of those things. I am been struggling with feeling like my

pores around my nose and the apples of my cheeks are much more visible. Maybe

I just didn't notice them that much before, but I do now! Gross! I feel like this foundation

does a FANTASTIC job at making pores look so much less noticeable and just overall

great tone!

My shade for the winter months with no tan has been Buff Beige. I will definitely be

re-purchasing this again for the summer and will go up a shade or two.

Have a Great day! Let me know what foundations you have been loving lately!
