L'Oreal BB Powder Review

As you may have seen, I have loved BB and CC creams for so long now. So when I saw a  Nude Magique BB powder I was overwhelmingly keen. What could this powder offer that my normal Rimmel Stay Matte powder couldn't?

Well, a lot now that I've done my research...

This powder goes above and beyond the call of duty for powders. With a 5 in 1 formula, you can expect a 'light coverage, velvet feel, 8 hour non drying mattifying finish, shine free and fresh looking skin' according to the blurb. 

My verdict after a few weeks of use -  it's lovely. It certainly delivers on the velvet feel element as my skin feels so soft even hours after us. I wouldn't say my skin felt fresher and I haven't noticed a lot of the shine free element of this, but overall I kind of would recommend this. It's the perfect colour for paler skin for one and for me, just how soft my skin goes with this is amazing. It's really, really soft - trust me.

I think if you live your bb/cc creams then this is perfect. But I'm not sure I'd rush to repurchase this as double the price of my usual/staple powder. 

e.l.f Porcelain Tinted Moisturiser Review

Yes, another tinted moisturiser has made it into my life...

This e.l.f Tinted Moisturiser caught my eye a few weeks ago and I've only just had the time to get round to photographing it. It was hard to put down my L'Oreal CC Cream, but I love trying out new things so it had to happen. 

If I'm totally honest with you, I was a little disappointed with this. I bought Porcelain because I've been weening myself off the fake tan recently, so thought this shade would be ideal for my pale skin. However, as always with tinted moisturisers, it was still just too tinted for my skin. I could get away with it when I used a pale powder underneath, but for the most part I just wasn't happy. If I applied too much I would just be an orange mess...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good foundation, tinted moisturiser or cc cream that works for pale skin?
