L'OREAL INFALLIBLE STAY FRESH 24HR FOUNDATION {REVIEW}

I'm generally not one to "chop n change" my foundations, as I tend to remain loyal to what I'm happy with and what works for me, that was until the end of 2015.

Thank goodness I took a leap of faith, after reading all the wonderful reviews, and bought the L'Oreal True Match foundation and I wasn't disappointed, in fact I rated it as one of my top products of 2015

L'Oreal True Match Foundation Review 

Top 3 Make-up Products of 2015

On the strength of my new found love for L'Oreal foundations I soon purchased my second and that was the

The L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Foundation, 
which appealed to me for its staying power and coverage.

Infallible Stay Fresh 24hr Foundation (Golden Sand)

L'Oreal claim that the Infallible Stay Fresh 24hr Foundation is a;

"High coverage long wear foundation now with Hydrating Hyaluron Complex. 

The 24H non-stop formula stays on and feels fresh from day to night"

I am not sure how many people would wear a foundation or want to wear one for 24hrs, but if you did then this could be just the one for you, as it's extremely long wearing.

I put it to the test on many occasions for 18hrs+ and I was seriously impressed.

Unfortunately due to me having a dry to normal skin I did find that I had to moisturise really well on the mornings of wearing this foundation,as I found it to be a 
little drying on my skin.

This foundation would work perfectly on combination skin, after saying that, drier skins don't be put off, but just be aware to moisturise well before application and the problem is solved.

The texture upon application is very different to the True Match foundation and you have to work a lot quicker with blending etc. as it noticeably contains less moisture, giving it a drier formula.
The finish of the Infallible for me, whilst giving a lovely flawless finish,was neither a matte or dewy, which I quite enjoy.
The foundation is buildable, but the one application was enough coverage for me, without giving my skin that cakey or dry look.
(the last thing a mature skin needs is a foundation that accentuates any fine lines or wrinkles)

The True Match is still my daily "go to' foundation, whilst the Infallible Stay fresh 24hr is a perfect foundation on those days where a slightly fuller coverage and all day wear is called upon.

There is a good selection of shades available from L'Oreal stockists countrywide at R199

The L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation was both re-formulated and re-packaged recently and I am so glad that I decided to give it a try, as for me it was a "winner" and has been the only foundation that I have worn since I discovered it.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES - NOVEMBER

During November I actually reviewed very few beauty products, but the ones I did review were absolute gems and I am sure that they will both make my "faves" list of 2015.

Trying to find the correct shade of foundation can truly be a nightmare for many, but I discovered the L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation during this month and I can highly recommend this product for its light, yet covering texture & formula and I am sure that there will be a shade that suits you.

I have finally found my "best" foundation of all time.

Mascara's can also be one of those make-up items that we seem to be eternally looking for the best one on the market. Mascara's are a very personal preference but during November I found the perfect combination "pour moi".

L'ORÉAL TRUE MATCH SUPER-BLENDABLE FOUNDATION {REVIEW}

Too light, too dark, not enough coverage, feels heavy, goes "cakey", doesn't blend easily,  

I am sure these remarks will sound familiar to most of us when trying to find the correct shade of foundation. Foundations are perhaps the most difficult of all make up items to buy and it does often take some "hit and miss" attempts until we find that "one" that will be our daily "go to" foundation.

I've used foundations from many of the houses, but for sometime now I have been using a couple from the Estée Lauder stable and have been relatively happy.

L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation R185

I came across the L'Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation via a few (non sponsored) overseas blogger posts, where they all raved about it, so off to Clicks I excitedly trotted to investigate further!

This product is no newcomer to the foundation scene, as it's been around for several years, however it recently went under a make-over itself and was re packaged and re formulated, so not having used the previous version I have nothing to compare it with. 

I have to say that my first impression of the bottle was one of quality, as the pump action, squared off, expensive feeling bottle fits comfortably into your hand and it's really easy to control the amount you dispense, so we were off to a good start!

Thankfully I ignored the Clicks consultants recommendation and opted for the shade 3.R/3.C Rose Beige,which really was a True Match for my skin, as opposed to the yellow undertone shade she recommended.They do have a good selection of shades (21 Internationally) on offer, so I suggest that you try the testers of several to find your true match.

I wasn't expecting the light texture of the foundation to feel so creamy and fluid, hence the ability to be Super Blendable and it truly is! 

It has to be one of the easiest foundations to apply, as the formula just glides onto the skin and allows you time to blend the foundation, whether it be with your fingers or a brush, without it drying and becoming cakey. 

I was super happy with the medium - high coverage that the ultra fine, skin perfecting pigments give and the foundation is buildable, whilst still giving my skin a natural matte, yet radiant finish. 

I have a normal to dry skin and used over my regular moisturiser, without a primer, I cannot dispute LOréals claim of 24hr Hydration and with a primer, or radiance enhancing product, 

it was even better. 

As though I wasn't impressed enough it just got better and better, as it's a foundation that is long wearing and I mean "looong" wearing, it really looked good after many hours of wear.

Throw in an SPF 17 and this is a well performing foundation. 

This product is all that it claims to be and I cannot find anything to fault it on, 

even the price is good R185.

I sincerely doubt that there will be anymore foundation reviews from me for a while, as I want to just carry on for now enjoying my new found foundation friend, which is a 

"True Match"
