First impressions/review:
Beautyblender Bounce Foundation (£32-- my shade is 1.20)
Alright, I can now announce that Cult Beauty has finally received the rights to ship this foundation across the whole EU. This has basically changed very recently-- 3 weeks ago, I was in the UK and had to ship it to my UK address as they could not send it anywhere else. So, Europe, rejoice! Now, you can finally try it too. The question is, should you?
I am still trying to make this foundation work, which, in my opinion, I should not have to. The foundation should do the work, not me. But what I can ascertain is this: - if you have very dry skin, forget about this foundation. Say "bye, bye", and move on! - if you have normal to dry skin, it is going to be tough. I had to really hydrate my face well, and I added two drops of the Marula Oil into my foundation. And here comes the worst part: you will have to compromise on the coverage so it would not look cakey. I have applied only one full coat (which gave me light medium coverage). If you apply more, chances are it will cake on you. - you do have to set it with powder (it doesn't fully dry down on its own). Once you set it, you CANNOT touch it (remember the song "Can't touch this!"). If you do, you are ruined. The foundation will rub off, it will go patchy etc. - even if you do all of that, you have to have perfect skin for it to look good on you. Like, no breakouts or bumps. I am not done with it yet, however. I am still trying to make it work. And I will have to try it on my skin when it gets more oily. But why should you work for a foundation?
Product review:
Beautyblender Liquid Blendercleanser (295ml for £24)
This is a liquid cleanser for your brushes and sponges. According to the brand, it maintains the integrity of the beautyblender sponge's material. With coconut surfactants, dead sea salts and a light lavender fragrance. This product does a great job, but I will be honest-- I don't need it. I have so many liquid (water based) face cleansers that I don't use on my face anymore, and they work perfectly fine with the cleansing of my brushes and sponges.
Product Review:
Beautyblender Pure Solid Cleanser (30g for £15)
Talk about a marketing rip off. I mean, don't get me wrong, this product works well for cleaning brushes, but for this amount, do you know how many blocks of soap you can buy? Alright, don't want to use normal soap, fine. Buy Lush's face soap that cleans brushes as well as this product-- it will still be about 10 times cheaper.
