MUFE HD Foundation Review

As promised.....I thought I'd start of the foundation reviews by talking about my most favourite.  Now if you haven't heard of it I'd be very surprised by that declaration, Make Up For Ever (or MUFE for short) HD foundation is quite a celebrity in the foundation world.

The bottle

I first bought mine in the Sephora they have at the Cite of Europe, France in 2010. I knew I wanted to buy it as I'd heard so many positive remarks about it - especially that it is rather good if you have oily skin.  I am the perfect candidate for that as I have oily combination skin which just has a tendency to get oily towards the end of the day in the T-zone area.

At around €32.00 (which is the same in £'s to as the Euro and the Pound are basically the same) it is not on the cheap side by far.  To me it is more in the category of high end department store than the high street. MUFE have a wide range of shades which is excellent. Whatever colour you want MUFE are more than likely going to have it. I currently use the shade #115 (about a MAC NW15 for reference) this shade for me is simply amazing. It matches my skin as though it was my skin colour in a foundation pot. I just love it and it is exactly as a foundation should be....your skin colour but better!

The foundation comes with a pump which is included in the price unlike some other brands. As for the packaging itself, it's simple. Black and clear plastic, it doesn't look high end but I think it looks sleek.

I recorded a video which is on my YouTube channel.  Basically shows me applying the foundation and what it looks like on my skin.  It also shows the consistency of the liquid on the back of my hand.  So if you want to have a peek here it is.



I'm going to review the Bobbi Brown perhaps as that is my number two.  Have you tried MUFE HD what are your thoughts???

Tag: Seven Deadly Beauty Sins

I do love a good tag video or blog post tag and quite a lot lately I have seen people do these posts.  I saw Bright Town Girl post and she inspired me to give it a go...so here I am! :-)
Greed

What is your most inexpensive beauty product? What is your most expensive?

It is difficult to choose something which is cheap as i use a lot of high end (MAC, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown...) you cannot help what you love.  But my most inexpensive would probably be my mascara.  I love love love the Maybelline One By One...makes me lashes look a.m.a.z.i.n.g!  My most expensive would be my foundation.  The Make Up For Ever, Bobbi Brown or Estee Lauder gives me lovely skin but they do have chucky price tags....

Wrath

What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What has been hardest to find?

I have a love hate for cleansing products and my skin can be quite sensitive and I can break out with eczema and spots easily.  It can be difficult to get the right combination of products.  The hardest to find Liz Earle you have to go (well for me) to  John Lewis or online.  As I don’t have a John Lewis near me and it can be annoying...i wish Boots stocked Liz Earle L

Glutton

What are your most delicious beauty products?

Probably my Lush items or my Macadamia oil/Aussie conditioners.  But I love sweet things like perfumes and lipglosses ...they are very delicious indeed.

Sloth
What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?

I’m terrible when it comes to moisturising my face in the evening and morning.  I mean I use a primer most days but in the evening I do become lazy.  I get as far as removing my makeup then sleep becomes the main priority.

Pride

What beauty product gives you more confidence?

It is probably a combination of things.  Having clean hair  so a good shampoo and conditioner is a must.  A good foundation that takes away your imperfections, a lip colour, a splash of perfume to make you smell lovely.  I don’t think I could choose one thing.  I’m far too picky....

Lust

What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?

Personality is something i look at and how they treat people.  Small things can be very beautiful...the way they hold the door open for you, covering you in blanket if you fall asleep on the sofa, catching them staring at you.  Personality wise they have to make me laugh, be honest, caring, down to earth.  I hate stuck up men, bullies and men who are arrogant....ewwww hate it.
Envy

What item would you most like to receive as a gift?

I have been lusting for a Mulberry handbag and a matching purse.  To receive them would be amazing and a lovely gesture.  The hubby keeps saying he may surprise me one day.....exciting!!!!

So that’s the tag.  Hope you enjoyed.  If you fancy responding and doing your own tag then please feel free.  I’d love to take a look.

Hope you're having a good one!!!

All about nails + NPOTW

When I'm food shopping I always, regardless if I actually need anything from that aisle end up browsing down the beauty aisle. My local Tesco stock a good range of beauty products as it's a Tesco Extra store. I just so happen to have a nose down there on my last food shopping trip and came a cross a nail polish range which I hadn't heard of before called All About Nails. All the polishes on the self cost 99p. Bargain!!! There was an array of colours from your dark blacks, blues and purples to your nude colours and even your 80's disco neon colours.



I picked up only two shades as for the other shades I felt like I already owned something similar. Would you be interested in seeing my collection? Let me know :-) Any-ho this are the two I got I will do a NPOTW post of Heather soon.  But for now I show you Bronze....



Nice....Yes I think so too!!!
