Tried & Tested // L'oreal's Infallible Matte Primer & Foundation



After hearing tons upon tons of hype around the new L'oreal Infallible Range I took it upon myself to buy them in a recent trip to the Supermarket. I had been in the market for a full coverage foundation as I still suffer with some bad spot days that I wanted to be able to cover up. So here is my review:

Starting off with the Primer, i'm not the biggest fan of primers as I feel they don't make much difference to my makeup, however as these products are both from the same range I wanted to try out both together. Compared to some others i've tried in the past, I much prefer the formula of this primer and how it has a more gel like feel (rather than rolling into bits in between my fingers) because of this it's so much easier to apply! Obviously because it is a MATTE product it is quite drying so this primer is designed for a normal to oily skin type.


Onto Foundation, my major No.1 problem with face cosmetics is finding a good shade for my pale/fair skin tone however the lightest shade in the range suited me just fine! Just as a medium to full coverage foundation should do it covers up pretty much everything including redness and spots however if even more coverage is needed the foundation is build-able to an even fuller coverage. Personally I prefer a lighter foundation for spring and summer however I shall be looking to these products for a flawless finish on a night out.

LUSH Ocean Salt Review

(image from wehearit.com)

As I am rather poor at the moment i've resorted to collecting samples from my new favourite shops, LUSH. Recently I picked up a sample of Ocean Salt as I had heard some rave reviews about it and wanted to try out new products. Ocean Salt is an exfoliator made with lime, sea salt, and vodka meaning it's especially beneficially for spot-prone skin! I would only use this exfoliator once a week as the sea salt can become quite harsh on the skin and irritate it. 

Would I repurchase?
No because it is a little too harsh on my skin, but if I had a massive breakout this would be my go-to exfoliator. 

Score: 3/5

Give it a go and see if it works for your skin. You can buy it from your local LUSH store at £13.25 a pot. Leave me a comment on your opinion on Ocean Salt and recommend some LUSH  products I should review as Im still quite new to the franchise.
