After browsing some reviews and chatting to a few fellow bloggers I decided to try out Smashbox's Studio Skin foundation. The decision to change my foundation (I have regularly used Dior Forever for a couple of years now) was based on a desire to find something more long-lasting in an effort to ditch the patchy/dryness I have been experiencing. After 30 seconds the face feels almost smooth and prepped for foundation. The No7 balm is slightly thicker with the texture of a moisturiser and has a lovely glow to it. My only criticism of the Smashbox primer was that it was a little watery, which I felt may be contributing to the patchiness - especially given the rush in which my makeup gets done some mornings mean I don't always give it the drying time it deserves.

The other day I decided something had to give before my coworkers start thinking that I'm coming in following a 9 hour bender so I decided to ditch the powder and find myself some new basics.Īs my regulars may know, I have been an avid fan and supporter of Smashbox's hydrating primer for a number of years (see this post for details) but as a treat for myself over Easter weekend I decided to branch out and trial something different so I opted for No7 Instant Illusions Radiance Balm. Added to the fingerprint smudges, my face is also becoming more drier which accentuates the whole dishevelled look that personally, I'm not really a fan of. I find myself rubbing at my face all day in work with the result that by lunch time I look more mismatched than a patchwork quilt.
It's been a stressful few months recently (which is my excuse for the lack of blogging!) and it has begun to really reflect on my skin.
