Review : Yves Rocher Pure Light Foundation

Hello Beauties ! i'm back with another review , recently i wanted to try a new foundation and get out of my comfort zone , since i have been using only my holy grail fit me foundation . So i decided to get the Pure light foundation from Yves Rocher i was looking for a luminous finish foundation, i actually came across some great reviews about the product before i purchased it .
So did i liked it or Not ? Let's hop on to the review to find out !

Pure Light Foundation Claims :

Its ultra-fresh light moisturizing texture is easy to apply uniformly. It provides maximum comfort for a sensation of no make-up and impeccable natural coverage. The skin's texture is visibly smoothed and the complexion is uniform.The skin breathes, the complexion is perfect, radiant and luminous.

Beauty bonus:Its practical elongated pump dispenser for a better grip

Key botanical ingredients:rice extract, cornflower water, soy extract, vitamin E.

Tested under dermatological control.

My Experience with the product :

First of all i ordered this foundation online when i got it the main thing that drew my attention is the Smell ! i was very unpleasantly surprised it has a very strong fragrance it reminded me of a nail polish remover so to me it looked a bit cheap after that my excitement was diminished because of the smell : I was very bumped about it since i have sensitive skin .

The second thing is it is described as a natural luminous foundation so you would expect it to have a dewy radiant finish , i have dry skin so i was really excited about that but unfortunately it accentuated the dryness that i have on my forehead and underneath my eyes as well as in the corner of my nose ( by the way i always moisturize and apply eye cream before applying my makeup) .

The third thing that i noticed is the finish it is not dewy at all , it a has a matte finish , the name is a little bit misleading ; the longevity though is quite decent  it lasts for a good amount of time on my skin . 

And the last thing that i want to mention in that it has a wide range of shades , my shade is Beige 200 fair complexion ,which is perfect for me , here is a swatch !

Let's hop on to the summary :

Pro's :

Decent coverage

Longevity

Large range of Shades

Would be perfect for combination/oily skin

Con's :

Fragrance

Misleading name since it has a matte finish instead of a dewy one

If you have dry skin you won't like it

Not moisturizing

I find that with my dry skin it does not suit me , as i  mentioned it accentuates my dry patches , the fragrance is a huge turn off for me , and i don't find the finish to be very natural you can definitely see that you are wearing foundation  ; over all i'm going to retry it during summer when the weather is more humid and i'll post an update .

Essence Makeup Products Review

Hello Beauties ! I'm back with another review , today i will be reviewing Essence's makeup products, these are the products that i currently own from the brand and i'm looking forward to get more ! So let's Jump to the review it may help you if you are new to the brand .

I have discovered Essence 2 years ago the first time that i tired products from it i bought a matte foundation and a concealer as well as a loose powder and i hated the three products , but this year i decided to give it another try as the brand revamped its collection and so i bought separately the following products : 

1- The first product is actually a powder brush , i got it in summer and i have been using it daily since then it's very soft , the hairs do not shade and the size is perfect , it is very versatile actually , when my other brushes are dirty i use it to apply my powder , bronzer and blush , you will not regret buying it, it's perfect and very affordable.

2- The second product is the palette , now i love a good smokey eye , dark colors are my favorite kind of colors when it comes to eyeshadows since they can have different uses . I was not  pleasantly surprised when i got this palette ,first of all the pigmentation is OK , most of the shadows are smooth to the touch except for two shades that i don't use because one is not pigmented and powdery which is the second shade from the right in second row and the second one is not my kind of color which is the turquoise color. 

3- Next is the lipstick and this product belongs to the long lasting lipstick collection , the shade that i have is "wear berries !" which is a cool toned berry color , the pigmentation is amazing , the color range is quite diversified , it is very moisturizing and easy to apply the one concern that i have with it is that is not very long lasting , it lasts on my lips for a few hours before it disappears after that i eat something .

4- Last but not least which is a product that i Highly Highly Highly recommend !!! This product is the Silky Touch blush and Oh My God ! These are by far the best blushes that i have ever used from the drugstore , this product has literally everything that you need in a blush , texture, pigmentation and application wise . It is true to its name the texture is very silky very pigmented a little bit goes a long way and the best part is that it is very long lasting , i have two shades "Life's Cherry" gorgeous day to day healthy pink and "Natural Beauty" which i use as a highlight actually i find that i will look gorgeous on a tanned skin .

5- The last product is the liquid ink eyeliner which i have already reviewed here .

PRODUCTS SWATCHED :

Liquid ink eyeliner, left to right : "Wear berries" lipstick , natural beauty and life's cherry blushes

Night club glamour palette

So as a conclusion i had a nice experience with the essence products , the products that i recommend the most are the Blushes , the eyeliner and the brush .

Have you tried one of the brand's products ? what do you recommend? Feel free to leave a comment. Have a Magical Day !
