Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Giorgio Armani

Since I've started watching Youtube videos just over three years ago, there have been tones of Youtubbers who have had a huge influence on what I purchase. These have ranged from clothes, bags, skincare and make up.

The most recent make up purchase was made after seeing so many people mention how good this product was and eventually I caved in and brought the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. After hearing so many great things I thought to myself I must try this.

I've been wearing this for a while now and feel I can give a true, fair review on what I think and if it lived up to my expectations.

I can now honestly say it is one my favourites along with the Loreal True Match and Rimmel Match Perfection. Just like the name suggest it gives your skin a real, healthy, radiant glow whilst giving your skin a bit of coverage. It glides on really easily and applies nicely with a Real Technics Brush.

I try to use this for special occasions as it is more expensive that any of my other foundations but sometimes I can't help using it on an everyday basis. If your looking for a foundation that gives coverage without looking like your face is plastered then I would certainly go for this one.

Ted Baker make up review

If you saw my "What I Got For Christmas 2016" post, then you will know that one of the presents I received was some make up by Ted Baker. Ted Baker is one of favourite higher end brands as the quality of the products is such a high standard and everything is full of pretty, bright, colours. In the past I've had one of their well-known purses so was intrigued by the beauty side of their products.

First of all the best thing that struck me about these products was the packaging. The colour scheme for these are a beautiful rose gold and white which I absolutely love. It's very classy and looks a lot more expensive than you might think.

The Bronzer and blush palette is extremely pigmented. You literally need the smallest amount on your brush when applying this to your skin. It has a shimmery appearance which makes it perfect to wear on a night out or for a special occasion. It also contains a spinney mirror which makes it perfect for traveling with.

The next product is the chunky, blush stick. This is very similar to the Clinique chubby sticks in terms of appearance and application. The colour of the blush is a dark pinky, red making it quite different to your standard pink blush. It's really easy to apply you simply apply it to the area and rub with your fingers. This gives a healthy, natural colour to the skin.

The eye shadow palette contains three shades of colours. One matt brown, a shimmery pink and a dark brown. All three colours are the perfect combination to create a smoky eye. This all contains a mirror which comes in handy.

I wasn't overly keen on the mascara but not sure why. But when I actually used it on my lashes it was actually really good. It lengthened them, gave them volume and gave them a darker appearance.

In the set came with two lip products, one lipstick and lip balm. The lipstick came in a pretty, pale pink which I love. It's moisturising, smooth to apply and came in a gorgeous white packaging similar to a Tom Ford product. The lipbalm came in a natural, pink shade which is perfect for everyday use.
