L'oreal Infallible 24hr Foundation Review ♥

As you read this I will be en route to Ayrshire, let my 3 day, mini break begin! I can't wait to see my Gran and Papa & their Birman cat Buffy (named after Buffy The Vampire Slayer, cool cat) and of course go shopping, Primark and Topshop are calling me! Of course I couldn't forget about my blog whilst I am away so I have typed up this review of my newest foundation for you to have a read of!
I recently ran out of my beloved Revlon Colorstay foundation, so I decided to see what Superdrug had to offer in the form of super pale foundations. I instantly seen this ghostly pale shade under the display lights in the L'oreal stand and thought it looked perfect, it isn't too badly priced either at £8.99!
Each morning I pump out a small amount of foundation onto the back of my hand and then buff it into my face using a Real Techniques Buffing brush. At first this medium/full coverage foundation appears to be the perfect match for my skin tone but as it gradually oxidises it gets slightly darker, I don't notice this problem with my Revlon Colorstay at all. It isn't dramatically different to my skin tone once blusher and bronzer is applied but I notice it on my bare face. This foundation covers up any imperfections nicely, I have no red marks or spots showing through either which is great. I love the finish of this foundation, it looks very dewy & fresh. I have been wearing it every day for about 12 hours, it has lasted really well and doesn't wipe off my face with a slight rub of the nose throughout the day. I would recommend this foundation, just don't expect it to be as pale as it appears in the glass bottle!

Revlon Colorstay Foundation Review | My New Favourite! ♥

I am loving this foundation at the moment! It is hands down the best foundation I've used so far, here's why. 
I have very pale skin as some of you already know and I can't ever ever find a the correct foundation colour for my skin tone, however, this foundation seems to be the perfect match. I have it in the shade 110 Ivory which is the lightest colour Revlon has to offer. It has a medium to full coverage which is great for those not so good skin days! 
I find this foundation works best for me with an oil balancing moisturiser as a base layer, I use Simple's 'Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser' (review here). I then apply my foundation with an Elf stippling brush followed by my Beauty Blender (review here) to blend it all out and get rid of any brush marks, to give my skin an airbrushed & soft look. It blends out perfectly and has that 'no foundation, flawless skin' look. 
This foundation hasn't caused my skin to break out which is great because quite a few high street foundations have done in the past, so this one is in my 'safe' zone. It lasts all day which is good for me because I always lean my hands on my face or I have an itchy nose or something (weird, I know), so most foundations I've used tend to rub off but this one stays put! I am just about to purchase my second bottle, so I would highly recommend you try this foundation next time you are looking for a new one!
What are your thoughts on this foundation?
