GIORGIO ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION #TBT REVIEW

Throwback to October 2019, when I originally wrote my review on

this luxury foundation by Giorgio Armani and I'm slightly embarrassed

as I read this part ...

 "alas I personally wouldn't part with the approx R800, I feel that there 

are many equally good foundations available on the market and for

 a lot less money."

It was 5 weeks later and the Black Friday sales enabled me to get

20% or 25% off (I cant remember which)

and I couldn't resist this opportunity to get my hands on one, as my

UK Kiddiewink was due for a visit in December.

I don't regret my spend for one minute, as this is a great foundation

and having used sparingly I have placed this foundation is on 

my re-purchase list.

I have since bought several other high end foundations, which

combine skincare with colour and they're some of my best purchases.

So I have changed my opinion somewhat over the last 2 years, as I

now know the benefit of combining the two, but unfortunately it does

come with a price and if you are willing to spend, it's well worth it.

For this past week I've been enjoying the
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

 Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation is an oil-free, yet hydrating fluid

 with exclusive Micro-fil™ technology.

It's lightweight and silky texture glides seamlessly onto the skin and 

provides a buildable medium coverage.

The formula offers an extremely comfortable long wearing, 
weightless and luminous natural finish to the skin.
It honestly feels like silk on the skin...

Use a Blender Brush to apply for a radiant finish. 
Add and blend more product to achieve desired coverage.

Suitable for all skin types

Available in 30 now 40 Shades

 mine was #5.25.

Whilst I enjoyed my week of luxury using this beautiful packaged

award winning foundation I couldn't fail the product, alas

I personally wouldn't part with the approx R800, I feel that there are many equally good foundations available on the market and for a lot less money.

From my experiences with both high and mid priced foundations, they don't

 seem to offer much more nowadays in terms of formulation,coverage,

luminosity etc. than some of the very good drug store foundations.
As always I prefer to invest my cash into anti-ageing skincare products 

than high end makeup.

FRIDAY FOLLOW-UP {NOVEMBER 2019}

Its been many months since I wrote a Friday Follow-Up post to let you know

how I feel about some of the products I have previously reviewed.

Sometimes I have extra to add to my review, on other occasions I grow to like

a product more with time, which is the case with my 1st product.

My 2nd was simply that I missed the way my skin looked and felt when using the product and Black Friday discounts came along that swung me to order the product..

1.

CAUDALIE

GLYCOLIC PEEL MASK

To read my original review

I first reviewed this product back in March 2019 and despite saying in my review that

I wouldn't re-purchase, well guess what, I have repurchased.

As the months went by I found myself reaching more and more for this Peel Mask,

I also discovered that if I left the mask on for the recommended maximum time of 

10 minutes it really came into its own and its proved to be my favourite peel.

On my skin, it starts to tingle around 9-10 mins of being on and that's my cue

to remove.

It leaves the skin incredibly soft,smooth and brighter, which is what Caudalie

claimed it would do, but I simply wasn't leaving it on for the full 10 minutes to experience the full peel effect, so thankfully

I did eventually discover the absolute wonders of this mask.

GIORGIO ARMANI 

SILK FOUNDATION

 To read my original review

I only recently reviewed this luxury foundation in the form of a 7 day supply that I

was sent by Armani Beauty and whilst I enjoyed the sample and couldn't fault the product

this is what I had to say:

"From my experiences with both high and mid priced foundations, they don't seem to offer much more nowadays in terms of formulation,coverage,luminosity etc. than some of the very good drug store foundations.

As always I prefer to invest my cash into anti-ageing skincare products than 

high end makeup"

Whilst I still stand by what I say in the above I'm going to make an exception

re this Silk Foundation from GIORGIO ARMANI, as I surprisingly missed using this

foundation once my 7 day supply had finished, so much so, that I have ordered one today

from overseas, on a Black Friday 25% discount, which softens the cost somewhat.

Call it my Christmas treat to myself...
