No7 Stay Prefect Superlight Foundation- Review



I bought this foundation a few weeks ago as I wanted something that was lighter than my normal foundation but something that wouldn't melt off my face within about an hour. I was also looking for something that I could also carry around with me when I was going swimming.

My friend has been using this foundation for while so I decided to give it ago and I went in to boots and was colour matched as the lightest shade (I don't no why I bother being colour matched).

So what can I say about this foundation well as the name suggests it is a light foundation that has light to medium coverage and it is great for just evening out the skin and I feel like I can get away with not wearing concealer, but it doesn't completely cover them but it does make them less noticeable.

The foundation itself has some powder in it which does help to slightly matte down my face and although it says it lasts for 24 hour I would say it lasts that long but it does look good during the day. I do however feel the need to powder it as I do tend to look quite shiny as the day goes on but that is normal with any foundation.

I have also worn this with and without a primer and I have found that it lasts a little longer with a matte primer as it help to control my oily skin.

I do really like this foundation and for its price I can't really complain £14.50 but No7 have a lot of offers on so it is possible to get it a little cheaper, and although it is more expensive than my Rimmel Match Perfect I prefer this foundation as it gives better coverage and it always looks good.

March Beauty Favourites




The first thing I have been loving is my Illamasqua Skin Base: 
I have been using this almost everyday this month. I love the coverage that I can get with this foundation depending on the brush that I use. It is also the prefect colour for me and it doesn't wash me out which is a bonus an other reason that I like this foundation is that it doesn't make my skin feel oily which is a huge plus for me as I have really oily skin. 

The second thing I have been loving this month is my Body Shop Honey Bronzer in the shade 002 fair: 
I have had this Bronzer for awhile and I have found that it is the prefect shade for me as I have fair skin so I find it hard to get Bronzer that isn't too dark. I can also use this to contour and to just bronze up my face. 

The third thing I have been loving this month is my Benefit There Real Mascara: 
I have been using this mascara for a awhile now I have eventually finished my sample and opened my big tube that I got for Christmas and I really do love this mascara almost as much as my L'oreal volume million mascara. This really does make my lashes look lovely. 

The fourth thing I have been loving this month is my Collection 2000 extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner: 
This is another thing that I have had for a while and I stopped using it and I have recently remembered how much I enjoy using eye liner and remembered how to do winged eyeliner which is a bonus. I am also really surprised that this hasn't dried out yet and for £2.99 it is a bargain. 

The last thing I have enjoyed using is my Real Techniques Stippling Brush: 
I bought this to use with my creme foundation but I have loved using this with all of my foundations this month, which means that I don't have as many brushes to clean which is a huge bonus as i normally put this off for as long as possible.
