Vichy Dermablend Corrective Stick 14hr (4.5g/ £15)

I have been using the Vichy Dermablend liquid foundation for a couple of years now and I cannot fault it at all, I can always rely on it if I am having a really bad skin day and I also use it as concealer when I am wearing a lighter coverage foundation, I get so much use out of it and I love it so I wanted to try the stick version hoping for the same love…

Sadly, although it's good, it's not love. Firstly it's not as good value as the foundation because its a stick so inevitably you end up using quite a lot of product each time, the colour choices aren't great either I think there is around 4 shades, they are all pretty pink based but luckily I can get away with the lightest shade 15 Opal which is good because it means I don't have to blend it out as much (the coverage seems to seriously decrease once blended) I find this works better on larger areas as there is less need for precise blending and therefore less chance of removing the product, I found the best way to blend without losing coverage is to use a damp sponge. It is a full coverage concealer on application but it's just a shame that it rubs off so easily, I would definitely set this with a powder too. 

One last note I don't think that the 14hr wear is accurate either but in all fairness nothing ever lasts on my skin that long so maybe it works better on someone with a less oily skin type.

Have you used this before? What did you think?

The New, Nars Radiant Tinted Moisturiser

This I have had for a few months now and it actually has a really impressive coverage for a tinted moisturiser, it's still not a foundation but it has a good light to medium coverage, smells lovely, feels really light on the skin and gives a lovely healthy finish, I can't wait to see how this survives in the spring and summer.

The Old, Vichy Dermablend

This is a holy grail product for me I think, and it's one of the best full coverage foundations that I have tried, I think it is great for the price too. This has a natural finish which I need to finish with powder becaus I have oily skin but for any other skin types I think it would be great on its own. This can also be used for under eye concealing or pin point concealing fro blemishes as it is so heavily pigmented.

The Lovely,  Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet

I can safely say that since purchasing this last year it has become one of my all time favourite foundations, I love that it is such a thin consistency yet so pigmented because you really get the coverage but without it feeling thick or heavy on the skin. I would say this is medium, buildable to full coverage with a matte but natural finish and I think I will forever repurchase this.
