L'Oreal + Me = Happiness!

L'Oreal are one of the few make-up companies I haven't really tried much of, I love the mascaras but everything else seems to have escaped my grasp. On a recent trip to Boots, while looking for my new face products, I came across L'Oreal and their 3 for 2 offer. I ended my buying a new primer, powder and blush; everything I needed for a brand new face! 



The one thing I struggle with is shine coming through during the day, so I brought the anti-shine primer (£10.29). The anti-shine primer is a silica based primer, making it perfect for oily/shiny skin. Silica has a mattifying effect, it also fills in pores and fine lines. Resulting in such a flattering effect, it gives the skin a more flawless look, and banishes any shine you may have.

The liquid is clear and spreads well, you won't need to use it all over your face. I normally just apply to my t-zone. This really is the best primer I've used (and trust me, I've tried loads)! I keeps me shine free pretty much all day and creates the perfect base for my powder, it's very quickly become one of my must have products.



I also brought the powder foundation (£8.19). As I have oily skin I often wear powder, alone or on top of liquid foundation. With this one I've been wearing it alone as I don't feel I need anything else with it. It provides a good coverage without feeling too thick on the skin, it does feel a little dry at first, so if you do suffer with dry skin I'd stay away from this product. The powder is called true match, as it adjusts itself to match to your skin tone, creating a natural, flawless look. It also helps to keep my shine at bay. The powder goes so well with the primer, the perfect pair!




Then I decided to pick up the blusher (£7.69) to finish off the 3 for 2 offer. I brought quite a light shade to keep it looking natural as I'm really pale. The blush is also a True Match product, meaning it adjusts to my skin tone really nicely, it leaves such a natural looking glow. As for staying power, it doesn't stay for as long as my Benefit blush but it does go on so nicely with the foundation and primer.




Overall, I love these products. I'll be using the primer and foundation until they run out! The blush I'll use sometimes, but I have gone back to using my Benefit blush when I'm out all day as it just lasts that little bit longer. So happy that Boots has these products on 3 for 2! I'll be trying more of L'Oreal in the future :D. I'm wearing these products in my brand new 'About' photo: 


What do you think to L'Oreal? Have you tried any of their products?
