This has to be my new favourite moisturiser, perfect for my skin type, sinks in easily and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy. This little beauty is specifically formulated for oily skin and leaves it lovely and matte ready for your favourite primer to pop on top. Why not give it a go? It’s currently only £8 in Boots, not £12!
Bourjois Happy Light Matte Primer Review
As we know, I’m on the hunt for the perfect primer, and this one comes pretty close! I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve changed up my skincare routine a little bit and I’m using a new moisturiser too which may suit my skin more than my old one, I’m going to feature that soon! Anyway, back to the primer, this is the Bourjois Happy Light Matte Primer, all the words in that title. They have a satin or radiance version too, but of course, I got the matte one for my oily skin. It’s £10.99 from ASOS or any high street retailer which I think is quite a good price for something that really holds my makeup in place! This really does feel mattifying on my face as soon as I put it on! Also my makeup has been lasting considerably longer, and if it does fade off a tiny bit, it’s even, and not patchy like normal! This is great, especially around my nose, where I find that I’m most oily, I don’t have the annoying residue of my foundation like I normally do. All in all, I’m really impressed and this is definitely one of my favourites this month already.
Super Facialist by Una Brennan Tea Flower Purifying Cleansing Wash
The beauty blogger’s day is made when we spot that Boots 3 for 2 sign isn’t it? I always see so many tweets and Instagrams about 3 for 2 buys, I love it, we’re all so easily swayed to buy things that we’ve wanted for a while because it’s 3 for 2. Of course, it’s bargain central, and it’s beauty. It’s a no brainer, we love it. Anyway, luckily I actually needed some face wash/cleanser in this 3 for 2 haul and I also picked up a La Roche Posay product that I’ll be featuring soon and some Soap & Glory conditioner. You can’t do a Boots 3 for 2 without slipping some Soap & Glory in there, non?
Origins Zero Oil Review
As always, I’m on the hunt for the perfect primer. This is similar to Nanoblur by Indeed labs, you apply it before or after make-up.
I’ve only tried it under make-up as a proper primer as I find when I apply anything other than Eau Thermale by Avene or the NUXE moisturising mist over makeup it goes all weird and patchy! This works pretty well under makeup, I feel like it gives me an extra few hours more than other primers do, but I’m still shiny by about lunchtime. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll ever find anything to totally control my oily skin but this is really good so far, keeps shine at bay for atleast 4 hours! At £13 for 18ml it may be slightly expensive but it works pretty well. I might try it over makeup but it is quite liquid-like so I need to trial and error this!
