Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation - Cream Ivory (40) Review!

Today I'll be reviewing my Max factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation, boy that's a long name. I know most of us are always looking for the best foundation, which isn't too expensive and suits us well. Cause other makeup items aren't too hard to find, since if your skin is looking great, almost anything looks good. And in order to make our skin look great, we need a good foundation to give a light radiant glow and cover up any spots. To be honest, I think I kind of have found my favorite drugstore foundation. Maybe I'll soon find out of a better one, but as of yet this foundation is my absolute favorite! I know a lot of people love the Revlon Colorstay Foundation , I like it a lot too. But I just think it's a little too heavy for a daily basis. Whereas this one on the other hand is great. Anyway, getting to the review..
First of all it's packaging is slightly bulky. 'Cause it's a liquid-cream foundation, the sponge applicator is in a separate compartment than the foundation. That kind of adds to the bulkiness. Also, the foundation is enclosed in a thick glass packaging, I think the product is less as compared to how bulky it is. But that's not too much of a problem to me honestly.

Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation (Shade Cream Ivory 40)

It holds about 11.5g/0.4 Oz which is less than a standard foundation. But I don't really mind that cause it's really light and a little goes a long way, you need to use the slightest amount to cover your face properly. As far as fragrance is concerned it doesn't have any, which is great for the ones who are sensitive to smells in makeup items.

Sorry about how it looks, it kind of melted due to the heat here. 

The shade cream ivory (40) is lightest shade out of 9 shades. I'm not too sure about the other shades, but I selected this one online and it's a perfect match for my skin tone. I don't think it's too cool or warm undertoned, it's neutrally undertoned. It's available at Boots and the official Max Factor website for £ 12.99.

I haven't really read the ingredients in it, but I am guessing it's silicone based because of how smoothly it glides on the skin. Unlike Revlon Colorstay it doesn't feel heavy at all on my skin and I think it does a good job at covering spots and giving an air brushed finish. It lasts quite a fair long time as well, about 7-8 hours without touch-ups.

Overall verdict, I really love this foundation. I think it's great for daily use, especially cause it feels very light on skin and gives a very natural slightly dewy finish. Also, it's wear times is great and it isn't too drying or too oily. I'm not too sure about the shade selection though , maybe that's not too great. But it's a great product and I'll definitely repurchase.

L'oreal Extra Intense Liquid Eyeliner Pencil (Black) Review

When I just started buying my personal makeup (after realizing I was old enough now to have my own, as a child I'd use my mother's makeup), the first thing I was into was eyeliner. Nothing too special, just a black line on my waterline was enough back then. But one thing that I hated even then was when that eyeliner would smudge and come below my eye on my dark circles making them darker and more scary, lol. So my hunt for finding the perfect eyeliner has indeed been a long one, but it's finally over! I first fell in love with the Maybelline Line Express Pencil, it was soft, created a nice soft look and would stay. But when I tried the L'oreal Extra Intense Liquid Eyeliner Pencil I was amazed. This is indeed the best eyeliner pencil from a drugstore that anyone can find in my opinion. I've heard a lot of people rave about the Prestige Pencil Eyeliners too, but I haven't tried that so I can't say much.
The L'oreal Pencil is double ended, with one end having the pencil and the other end having the smudger.

The pencil holds 0.03Oz/1.1g. And I know this is weird, but I actually really like how the pencil is completely black. I don't like the wooden colored shavings for some reason (funny I know). The pencil doesn't have any fragrance. I got this for $8.49 I think at Rite Aid.

What I absolutely love about this pencil is that it glides on like a liquid eyeliner, just that it's in pencil form which gives you a lot more control over it. You don't have to apply any pressure whatsoever when applying eyeliner, so you kind of have to be careful because of how creamy the pencil is. Another amazing thing is that even though it's so creamy, you can smudge it right away when you apply it, but a few minutes after that it stick and dries so that even if you try smudging it, it doesn't move. Which to me, is a totally awesome thing.

I don't really use the smudger in the back, though I think it's quite a useful thing. And the smudger is nice too. The pigmentation of this pencil is amazing as well, it's extremely black which makes it all the better! I know it seems like I'm over raving this pencil, but you'll seriously have to try it out yourself because I personally think it's worth all the rave.

In the picture above I just slightly glided the pencil over my hand, I could have made it darker but I wanted to show what's the lightest line you can get from this pencil. As you can see in the picture, the pencil really is true black. Also, it's matte. I personally don't like pencils with shimmer. 

Overall, this is my favorite pencil for everyday use or for a party, I prefer this over my liquid eyeliners as well. It's staying power is amazing too, it stays even after I wash my face even though it's not waterproof. I think it's a great product for the price you pay. I'd definitely repurchase!
