100% pure foundation review





I have been on the hunt for more natural foundations lately, ones that will not upset my overly sensitive skin and that are gentle enough for daily use. I have seen the 100% pure foundations on youtube reviews from american and canadian youtubers ( im looking at you Kassie- CloudyApples), but found that buying them in australia is very difficult as most websites that stock 100% pure do not ship here. But while searching around the internet i managed to find this website http://www.nourishedlife.com.au   which not only was an australian stockist, but sold all natural products at a reasonable price. shipping was fast (4 days) and it came beautifully packaged, cant complain!

Now onto the review; this foundation is a light-medium coverage foundation with a satin type finish, its not overly dewy or overly matte, and fairly long lasting, it lasts me a while 12 hour day when im doing shift work. It has a very light texture, that is runny on your hand but blends out easily and makes you feel like your not wearing heavy makeup.

The foundation comes in a number of shades, and i wear the second lightest cream peach. As you can see this foundation blends very well into the skin, and matches me perfectly.

The packaging is practical and pretty, it has a pump so its very sanitary and you can see the foundation colour through the bottle so you know how much you have left, which i find very helpful.

Overall this foundation was a 10/10 and i cannot wait to try out some more 100% pure products.


What natural products would you recommend?


Thankyou for readings
Until next time xxx Jessica xxx

Birthday outfit & face of the night

 On Saturday night, my family, my fiance, his parents and myself went out for dinner to celebrate my mums birthday.

We only went to a small local restaurant but the food was beautiful and it was a nice change from my work uniform or my distressed jeans.

On my face I wore 100% pure foundation (review coming soon) nyx blush in taupe as a contour, Nars blush in douceur.
 On my eyes I wore light pink eyeshadows from my smashbox palette, Loreal million lashes mascara, macs fluid liner in blacktrack.
                                                            And finally on my lips I wore the OCC lip tar in black dahlia. This liptar was long wearing and is the perfect winter tone.
                                                      


My outfit is all from H&M, with the new melbourne store opening
drawing out shopping lovers like myself. my skirt was $12.99 and
printed button up was $19.99. I paired them with black tights and
knee high boots. I finished off the outfit with a black tie up
winter coat.
