Yves Richer Zero Defaut Foundation review

Hey guys! My mom gifted me some awesome makeup products for my birthday and I am loving them! First off let's start with my favorite gift: Yves Rocher zero Defaut foundation. It's a 14 hour flawless skin foundation that has fusion all texure and botanical mineral pigments. It says on the description that it has botanical ingredients and it does! It has leaf extract and its alcohol and paraben free! Which I love!
Yves Rocher is a French makeup company that sells top quality makeup with affordable prices. The makeup is created by scientists and botanists. This company is all about botanical and vegitarian products. They infuse their foundations, eyeliners, body soaps, perfumes and deodorants with botanical ingredients that are beneficial for the skin. They sell many different products and its just a very awesome company. I like how they are plant based products that have no animal derivatives.

Back to the foundation. It's very much like Yves Saint Laurent touché éclat foundation but it's more pigmented. It has medium to full coverage with a slightly dewy finish. It has a creamy consistency, but not too thick like Mac studio fix fluid. It's lighter than that. It's not matte but like I said not too dewy either. It's a natural looking  foundation that can change depending if you want to mattify by applying a matte primer before and matte powder over your face after , or, make it dewy by spraying some dewy finishing spray.

In my opinion this foundation is perfect for everyday use and also special occasions. It's a perfect natural looking foundation that has a creamy texture and botanical pigments. My color is beige 200 which has a yellow hue to it, and it's for yellow undertone skin. Two pumps is enough to give you a medium coverage, but since my mom ordered this online, she couldn't check my exact foundation color since it was a small picture online. The color beige 200 is exactly my skin tone. You can add bronzer and some contour so it looks really flawless.

The website where you can purchase this foundation is: www


Yvesrocherusa.com

Just make sure to check your shade from the picture. If you have a light ski tone then beige 200 isn't for you, you have to get a shade lighter. If you are medium skin tone with yellow undertone then beige 200 is fine unless you want a shade dark for a tanner look. It all depends on how you want your look to be!

Overall I give this foundation a 5/5
The consistency is 5/5
The coverage is 4/5
Long wearing 5/5


cons:
It can show up as a white cast in pictures since it's not an hd foundation. Make sure to blend blend blend! And add some bronzer to your cheeks.

I hope this review helped!

Thanks for reading!

**Benefits of Argan Oil**

Hey dolls! I have been so busy recently since I just had a baby! So it was a little hectic, but now I am starting to post more reviews and makeup looks! :)

They call it "liquid gold" and to me that's enough to trust it! Argan oil has been known for its extremely rich beneficial nutrients including fatty acids and vitamin E. These properties are very beneficial for hair and skin. 

Personally, I use Argan oil as a skin moisturiser. I recently purchased the oil 1 month back, to test it out on my hair and skin. I am in love with it. My skin feels and looks so soft, hydrated, and its glowing. I noticed that my dark spots due to pregnancy are slowly fading away on my neck, and I also apply it on my under eye circles, I gently rub it and make sure that none of it goes inside my eyes. My dark circles are fading away as well in less than a month!

I also use it to prime my face before I apply any heavy coverage foundation, Personally, I really like it as a primer for a dewy satin look. If my foundation is very dewy then I won't use this as a primer. But if  its a heavy coverage matte foundation, I do use this and then apply the foundation. That gives me a satin finish with a nice glow to my face. I just use 2 drops and that is more than enough on my face, since a little of this oil goes a long way.

Argan oil is proven to make hair softer, so if your hair is brittle and dry then it's ideal for your hair. The best way to use it is as a conditioner. It will treat split ends and tame frizzy hair. I do not use it as a conditioner, in fact, I just take 4 drops of it, and gently comb it through my hair, not on my scalp but my hair, so it will give my hair shine. I then comb my hair and it looks gorgeous since it becomes so hydrated and sleek. 

One amazing fact is that Argan oil is known to give skin a youthful glow, and it reduces wrinkles that are visible on your face. In less than 1 month I noticed that my under eye dark circles and some lines I have under my lash line are less visible. My skin feels very plump and soft afterwards. Argan oil restores the skin's elasticity, and that is why my skin feels this way. 

If you suffer from dry skin conditions then argan oil is a must have! The fatty acids and vitamin E content in this oil are excellent for repairing damaged skin.

My skin is dry to normal, so I love to use it as a moisturizer. It really doesn't matter what type of skin you have, this oil is a miracle for all skin types!

I purchased mine from Sally beauty Supply. If your interested then you should definitely go get it.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on repairing your skin, tightening and brightening your skin by the use of chemicals, try a natural way first and see the difference! :)

Hope I helped dolls!

Stay tuned for more. :)

Palladio Natural Rice Loose Finishing Powder Review

Hello everyone, I haven't been posting much lately since I had a baby and I was very busy. But now I am back at home, and I am ready to get back to blogging.
So lets get back to business shall we? lol I was looking for a cheap alternative to M.A.C cosmetics loose powder since I am obsessed with that powder. I wanted to find another powder that is a dupe. I went to Sally Beauty and purchased Palladio Rice Powder. I've read many great reviews on this powder so I thought, hey why not give it a try. And let me tell you, I am glad I purchased it. It is amazing! It is so finely milled and has a very matte texture to it, it absorbs the oils on your face and once you apply foundation and then apply this powder, you will see a huge difference! 

The powder sets on your foundation and it creates a flawless matte finish on your face. You wont have a shine on your face and it does not have a white caste on your face either. 

It is suitable for all skin types. 

I really love this powder but the only thing that is a con is that it smells like perfume was added to it. But besides that I really like it. 

The packaging is not that great but for the price its obviously fine. 

It comes with a small powder sponge inside, its not that great, I don't use it personally. I use a powder brush to apply it. 

The staying power is about 4 hours on your face, with touch ups you'll be fine. 

I really like it. If you are looking for an amazing matte loose powder that is herbal and has oil absorbing properties to it then this powder is a must for you!

Over all I give this powder a 4/5. I gave it a 4/5 because of the perfume scent to it.

I purchased my powder at: Sally Beauty Supply

Palladio Natural Rice Loose Finishing Powder is: 

• triple milled 
• oil-absorbing powder 
• ultra-silky finish

Hope you guys enjoyed reading!

STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
