Review: Freedom Pro Matte Longwear Foundation
I've always had difficulty finding a foundation that's light enough for my skin so if I find any cheap ones, I like to try them out. I bought the Freedom Pro Matte Longwear Foundation in their lightest shade 02 hoping it might match.
The packaging is quite simple and in a squeezy tube, I think it looks quite professional though considering it is a cheap brand. This foundation is a liquid formula.
It is a very close match to my skin but I still feel like it's slightly too dark, I could probably get away with wearing it on it's own but I may mix it with a little white foundation. Apparently this is supposed to be a matte foundation but I don't think it looks completely matte unless you powder on top of it.
I would say this gives a light to medium coverage on the skin. It did show up some dry patches on my skin though, I did think I had oily/combination skin but I think it might actually be a bit dehydrated so this foundation is probably not good for dry skin. I wore this all day and it stayed on pretty well except for the few dry patches that didn't look too good. I will continue to use this foundation and I'm going to start using a hydrating moisturiser to hopefully help with the dry skin.
You can buy this for £2 from Freedom.

Review: Garnier PureActive Micellar Cleansing Water
The Garnier PureActive Micellar Cleansing Water is the first micellar water I've tried and I only bought it as I was running out of my cleanser so thought I'd try something different. Micellar water has been around for a while now and is quite popular in the blogger/youtube community. I chose to try the Garnier one as I like the brand and already use a few of their products. They have a few different ones for the different skin types, I got the combination to oily one.
I love the packaging of this, the design is really good and you can see through the bottle so you know how much product you have. It's really easy to use and you just pop a bit onto a cotton pad and wipe over your face. It leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed.
I've used this quite a few times now and it's good at removing most of my makeup but I found it wasn't very good at getting my mascara off. Before I was using the Avon Eye Makeup Remover to take off my eye makeup and it's really good at getting mascara off so I will continue to use this to remove my eye makeup and then the micellar water for the rest of my face.
You can buy this for £4.99 from Superdrug or Boots.
