Don't like foundation?

Hi guys, things have been crazy around here! hence no blogs for ages, I have nearly finished my training, I have been seeing Ben loads and I have been to specialists about my hearing (not great news...but heyho...life goes on)

I have been running an idea at the moment of Foundations, it seems that my opinion has swayed, granted I use to love looking like a perfect skinned teenager, however I since discovering all these great more natural products I have been more inclined to shake that loose and go for something a little 'healthier'.
As before I have (...and still do)loved the mineral foundations as they feel light, which in my opinion is a must for the impending scorching summer, theres nothing worse than feeling all heavy and clogged. 

I made a recent discovery of using 'primer' before applying foundation, or even just applying primer to minimise pores, I use Rimmel Fix and Perfect < < B U Y ~ H E R E > > This stuff is amazing, covers well, goes on clear despite coming out an orange/terracotta colour, the tube lasts for ages and doesn't cost a bomb. 
The only problem is its really only available online.  Primers are something that I haven't noticed really in UK drugstores.



I have also purchased Wet N Wild's tinted moisturiser, I find the heat makes my skin bubble with spots sometimes and its horrible when you are trying to look fresh and lovely. The moisturiser itself is fantastic, it goes on so smoothly and you don't need hardly any, I use it over the top of the Rimmel Fix & Perfect and it looks like perfect foundation, but it means my skin can breathe and its helping reduce my blemishes and spots.  RRP £1.99

I hope these products will make you feel as good as they make me feel. I have a few more blogs to post.  I am changing the format so instead of there being one review per item I will cover different areas with several products.
