Naturactor Foundation

Naturactor Foundation



Welcome to the one stop wonder. The Naturactor Foundation is a multipurpose product to create a flawless face, and by far the most pigmented and full coverage product I've come across.


Availability: www.naturactorfoundation.com
Naturactor Foundation has radiant, light-reflecting canvass with no visible imperfections Also: Skin color matched, Skin tone evened out, Skin texture refined, Pores erased, Lines smoothed, Spots covered and it has oil matte effect (these are the instant results that I can share right away.



Here are my thoughts: 
Naturactor Foundation is a very thin cream. 




After a few seconds of letting it dry and absorbed by skin, the color changes and copies skin tone! Magical!! Light is also reflected giving skin a healthy look. Skin color is also matched



Tint can be seen. Sort of like a foundation with a good thin coverage. Texture is nice, and the tone is evened out as compared with the one without where spots can be seen.

Now with my face (and now I will show skin without anything hehe


I have uneven skin, spots, pores, bad texture, lines and oil =((


Instantly, radiant, glowing skin. Slightly lighter than my tone but I think I applied too much. You'll see later. At any rate, imperfections gone!!!


Naturactor Foundation balanced out the skin tone. Texture is really nice and imperfections gone!


Free of imperfections and magically transformed! Texture is really good!



Naturactor Foundation is more healthy-looking and glowing with a pearly texture.


WHAT I LOVE:
Oil mattifying effect! I didnt have to retouch and makeup stayed for long. The feel is not oily, thick and creamy so this is really for me ;)



Overall, I love this product and recommend to everyone who has imperfections but wants a transformed skin in a few minutes. I would really make this as first step already of makeup prior to liquid because the effect is really nice - radiant, pearly, healthy, perfect.
Hope this intrigued you and hope you can try this magical product!!


Blush & Go!


Blush & Go!




Most people opt for the usual make-up staples for on-the-go touch ups: lipstick and powder. I always add blusher to the mix. Half way through the day, I find a pop of blush awakens my face just as much as a slick of bright lipstick; put the two together and it’s win:win.

Side note: if you carry a full make-up bag at all times, then this probably won’t be an issue - personally I rarely do. I tend to pop the bare essentials in a mini make-up bag or the zip pocket of my handbag. In fact this post was inspired by the joyful rediscovery of some favourites in a bag I hadn’t used for a few months - dontchya just love that?!

Of course blush isn’t the easiest option to carry or apply on the go, so I’ve lined up my trusty options for fellow can’t-live-without-blush fans (it’s not just me, is it?).

New CID i-blossom: Rose £18.50 at Feel Unique

The first solution I discovered, this little cutie has a sponge in the lid, powder blush in the base and a mirror on top - compact blush perfection. I remove any excess on the back of my hand, pat a little onto my cheek and blend with fingers. A true rose pink with a sheen and finely milled sparkle - lovely for evening.

Chantecaille Poudre de Pearl: Akoya £36.50 at Nordstrom

This coral-toned pink blush leaves a beautiful luminous finish on the skin. Loose powder blush is stored in the base: I just tap the brush on the back of my hand to fill it with the correct amount of product for application, then swirl to ensure it’s distributed evenly before applying to my face. Currently out of stock online at Space NK and Liberty, I could only track it down at Nordstrom.

Bourjois Cream Blush: Nude Velvet £7.99 at Boots (on 3 for 2)

I’ve raved about this at length before and still love its foolproof cream to powder formula, which is so easy to sweep on with the flat of a forefinger and pat into place. It even comes with it’s own built-in mirror and is a budget-friendly option that beats most high end cream blushes I’ve tried.

Real Techniques Retractable Kabuki Brush £11.95 at Cloud10Beauty

The newest Real Techniques is perhaps the most versatile of all. Load it up with a swirl of your blush of choice before leaving home, pop on the secure lid and you’re good to go with a ready to apply application of any colour you choose, wherever you are. Obviously this is only good for one application, so perfect for an evening out, but you could of course add a small compact blush if you’re off for a weekend away, keeping both your brush and make-up/hand bag clean and hygienic. The new collection also includes a retractable bronzing brush, but I actually think this one is big and versatile enough to cover both blush and bronze. Did I mention it’s a soft as a baby bunny?



Do you blush-on-the-go? (please someone say yes!)
