Barefaced with Magnitone (*) ...

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS!

I recently got my hands on a gorgeous mint coloured Magnitone BareFaced and I'm in love...

This came with a USB charging cable which plugs into the magnetic charging egg; this makes the Magnitone completely waterproof so no worries when you're using it in the shower or bath. It also came with a splash proof bag to keep it all in, great for travelling with.

The Magnitone BareFaced comes in 3 different colours, Pastel Green, Pastel Pink and Pastel Yellow.

You can buy interchangeable brush heads for different skin types - 

Active Clean (For all skin types)

Soft & Sensitive

The Stimulator (Lifting & Toning)

You change the brush head every 3 months or whenever it's looking a bit sorry for itself.

You can get a Shower Hammock so you can store your Magnitone in the shower along with 2 spare brush heads.

One of the great things about these is that you can use them with any sort of skin care, they say it super charges them, makes them work better and helps them sink into the skin.

I love to wear make up so need to have a good base for it all to be applied to. I use mine daily in the shower with a face wash as I like to start (and end) the day with clean & fresh skin. 

I've also used it to wash off my face masks. 

It leaves my skin super soft after each use and has brought out any blemishes that were lurking under my skin, these are now fading faster with using it as well.

There are 2 modes - 

Gentle Vibra-Sonic Deep Pore Cleansing

Pulselift Toning Mode

There's a cute little video they have made to show how it works & it's different benefits, linked here.

You can learn all about the history behind Magnitone here.

"As two blokes in beauty, we wanted to create a brand that harmonised beauty technology and healthy well-being..."

I definitely think these are worth the investment, especially with the 12 month warranty. This upped my skin care game and can't wait to be able to go Bare Faced on days I don't wear make up.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed using my pretty Magnitone...

L'Oréal Paris || True Match Foundation...

Like a lot of people I still haven't found the perfect foundation, I have an oily T-zone and have as of yet still on the hunt for a foundation that controls my oil and doesn't melt off my face when I sweat.

However things might have changed, today is the first time trying L'Oréal Paris True Match Foundation and I have the colour N2 - Vanilla. I have quite yellow based skin and I found that W1 was too light for me. I would have gone for W2 but they didn't have it so I was helped by a lovely lady in Boots to help find which colour I would be. We agreed that N2 was best, as W3 was a shade or 2 too dark for me and had a bit too much of an orange undertone.

The 'W' stands for warm, for people with yellow undertones, 'N' is neutral and 'C' is cool, people with pink undertones in their skin.

With this foundation you get 30ml which is the normal amount with most foundations. It is oil-free which is good as I don't need to add oil to my already oily skin. It feels really smooth and today I buffed it into my skin with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and I found, like it claimed, that it blended really well. 

I really like the coverage evening out skin tones and it covered the pink areas on my cheeks. Under it I used Milk of Magnesia/Maybelline Baby Skin Primer and set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Transparent. I also used Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to go over any blemishes I have. 

Don't worry you did read that right, Milk of Magnesia, on my face... Kinda gross I know but I shall do a blog post soon about why I use it and how I apply it.

 I forgot to take a before picture of my face so I shall update this post when I do my make up again doing a before and after picture. But so far I really like the way it looks and the colour is a perfect match for my skin. I will also see how it wears during the day and update you on the oil and sweat situation.

UPDATE! Here is my visual routine on how I applied my foundation. In the first pictures there's nothing on my face. Then I add a thin layer of Milk of Magnesia, dry with hair dryer then put my primer on top which gets rid of the white ghost look. Fifth picture is just foundation and concealer and then 6th & 7th is finished face with foundation set with powder.

I found this foundation held up amazingly well compared to what I'm used to using (BB creams). I love the final look and found I didn't need to blot or powder during the day. The only thing that happened was it rubbed off a bit around my nose but that was due to cold weather and a runny nose!
