SUMMER PROOF BEAUTY || Non-Greasy Sun Protection for Oily Skin - Garnier Ambre Solaire Face & Body...


Hello everyone, I took a small break from blogging whilst I went on holiday and then it took me a while to get back into the flow of things again, but I'm back and carrying on my Summer Proof Beauty series...

Like most women I like to try and prevent myself from ageing by any means possible, which includes protecting my face from sun damage. Me being who I am, I love the sun and having a tan so I really need to up my game when it comes to protecting my face which is where this sun cream by Garnier Ambre Solaire comes in...

I have finally found a sun cream that works with my oily skin as it isn't greasy and absorbs very fast.

I got mine off of Amazon a few months ago for around £5 (which included a pretty pricey postage cost). I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time but you can get it here from Boots for £3.

It's a pretty small tube where you get 50ml in it which is perfect handbag size or if you're travelling.

The product itself comes out white but doesn't leave any white ghost faceness whatsoever, like I said before it absorbs really well with no stickiness left afterwards.

I wanted to keep this post short and sweet.
I hope you liked it and will try and get back into posting more regularly.

Natural Foundation Routine || Oily Skin...

This is a very picture heavy post but hope it helps those who have an oily t-zone like me.

I have been doing this base under my foundation for half a year now and it has been an absolute saviour when it comes to controlling oil. It sounds pretty gross, putting a laxative on your skin, but it really works. I don't have to carry powder any more and I stay oil free all day!

This is also the make up I do for a natural base and for going to the gym (yes I am one of those people).

Products in this post:

Starting with a bare face...


Pour out a tiny bit of Milk of Magnesia...

Apply a thin layer of it onto the oily parts of your face and let dry 
(I use a hair dryer as I am impatient)...

Use a silicone based primer and apply on top/all over your face, 
this will get rid of the white ghost face look...




My skin is pretty happy at the moment and as this is a natural look 
I only put the concealer on my dark circles and any spots.
Then I use the Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation to blend it out on the sponge...

And set my whole face with the Stay Matte Powder...


I use the Collection Eyebrow kit and the Zoeva Brow Line brush to do my brows.
I also add a bit of the darkest colour to my lash line.
This stuff stays on all day long and as you can see is very well used...


Here's what the finished look is and how I would go to the gym.
As a day to day look I would add bronze and blush and do different eye looks...


I really hope you try Milk of Magnesia as a base because it really is amazing at controlling oil throughout the day, no matter how much I sweat.
