Favourites on Friday

This is a new weekly post that I thought I would start on my blog. Sorry if anyone else does it…..I don’t mean to copy. (Let me know and I will credit you).

This week I have been loving the new 17 Photo Flawless Foundation and Primer.

I have to say I was a bit sceptical about these products. I normally wear Estee Lauder’s Double Wear but I ran out and needed an alternative. I nipped into my local Boots one day and seen these on offer. The foundation retails at £6.29 and the primer is £4.99. When I purchased then the primer was free when you bought the foundation.

I apply the primer with my fingers as I find that this works best. The primer has a similar texture to the Smashbox primer. (For those who do not know what that feels like it is a kind of siliconey/ creamy texture.) Once rubbed in the skin feels super smooth and soft.

I apply 1 or 2 pumps of this foundation with either my fingers or a flat top kabuki brush. It makes my skin look flawless and I don’t even need concealer with it. First impressions where good but the real test was if it could stay put throughout the day. I decided to test it out on a Wednesday as I work my two jobs that day. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t need to reapply or touch up. It stayed on right through the day and didn’t go patchy. It says that it gives a matt finish but I find that it gives my skin a dewy look.

I would definitely recommend these products and I will definitely be repurchasing.

 

Have you tried these yet?! What do you think?
