My favourite makeup brand - Lily Lolo
Hello there! Long time no see! Hopefully I shall be blogging more as I now have a MacBook so i will try my hardest to post more often. As I've been gone, I have tried many products including mineral makeup! As I am someone with very oily yet dry skin I never thought mineral makeup would work on my skin, however I saw Lily Lolo's amazing shade range so I had to give it a whirl!!
As an EXTREMELY pale girl, not even the lightest shades of foundation and concealer from the likes of Mac and Estee Lauder come close to my colour, so I use white foundation to mix with it, which is both time and money consuming so this seemed to be a better option.
If you aren't aware of Lily Lolo, I would compare it to Bare Minerals, but half the price with double the shade range. Seriously, the shade range is incredible, for both ends of the scale. Also the price range is very satisfying as their mineral foundation is 13.99 pounds (sorry my pound sign isn't working!) This product is amazing!! If you don't like the feel of makeup then this may be for you! You cannot feel it at all on your face but still get a flawless yet natural look. It has SPF 15 and is water resistant, oil free, vegan friendly and anti bacterial so what's not to like? Normally I'm reluctant to get mineral foundation as it just seems so messy! But this one has a cover on with little holes so you can shake the product onto the lid and when you're done simply twist the cover and the holes are sealed, genius! I use the lightest shade porcelain which is still a tad dark but is completely wearable! What I also love about this brand is that most of their products come in a sample size at around 1 pound so you get to test it first!
Another lovely product of theirs is the mineral concealer which is 8.49 pounds and the colour is insane! I use the shade blondie and it is so pale! The coverage is also very pigmented but still has that no-makeup feel to it. It isn't cakey and doesn't show up dry patches, it is just smooth and flawless. It has the same sifter and is also vegan and has Kaolin which is a clay based mineral which gives it the amazing coverage and long lasting wear.
The lasting wear on both products together is around 10 hours with my super oily skin. I do use the urban decay setting spray and blott once halfway through the day which is less than i have to do with my Estee Lauder double wear with the price tag of 32 pounds! I also bought the super kabuki brush from Lily Lolo which is honestly the best brush i have ever used. It was 14.99 and its so soft! It applies the foundation beautifully, with even coverage as it is so easy to blend out. Applying the foundation and concealer takes around 2 minutes as it is so easy! It is great for using if you need to run out of the door but it is still amazing for every day use with its exceptional coverage.
All in all these products are amazing and I would highly recommend them for any age or skin type and they cater for all! I am very excited to try more of these products and I shall keep you updated on how they are!
