Foundation

Recently, I have been really trying to stop using foundation because I am young and I have been trying to persuade myself that I do not need it but when you first stop using it, you do become a little self conscious. And I did at first but the results really have started to show through, and I honestly do think that it will be a lot better for my skin, not to wear foundation.  Also, as Spring Summer are just coming round the corner, your face does look naturally glory and pretty from the sunlight that I might consider not wearing foundation throughout these seasons. 
Luckily I haven't given up on concealer (I think that would be impossible for me, with very dark under eyes.  At the moment my favourite concealer is the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in 02- light.  I heard a lot of YouTube makeup gurus raving about this and I had to try it out for myself.  I like how it covers really well as it has a very thick consistency.  I'm not too sure about it lasting 16 hours, like it says in the packaging but it does last a pretty long time.
The reason I am mentioning both foundation and concealer in the same post is because I wanted to ask you guys- if there is anyone reading this- what your favourite foundations and concealers are?  Because by September, I will definitely need to buy a foundation (if I haven't given up on not using fountains by then). And I always like to try out new concealers because I have awful bags!

Thank you :)

Review of No7 50ml Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser

I only just bought this product one week ago but I think it is definitely worthy of a review.   Despite buying the tinted moisturiser a shade too dark, i do really like it.  I hope that the fact it is slightly too dark makes me look sun kissed or at least that is what I am trying to persuade myself.  Also I am going to keep it because Summer is coming soon and hopefully I will have a tan by then.  But I will probably buy the lighter shade after that.
The reason I bought this was because I find foundations too heavy on my skin, especially full coverage ones.  I also bought it because I had heard so many great reviews on it and they are all true.  It really does look like your wearing no makeup at all and gives you a very healthy glow.  What I really love about this is that you really don't have to use much at all to cover your whole face.  You can apply it as you would moisturiser or you could use a foundation brush which is what I do.  I'm sure it will last a long time and I'm really glad that it will as it is of such high quality.  It makes my skin feel so soft.  It's quality definitely exceeds it's inexpensive price of £12 or £7 with the £5 off No7 voucher which they are always giving out in Boots.
Another thing I love is that it is so much better for my skin then the foundations I have used in the past.  When foundations are cakey, you can almost feel the layer of foundation you have on your face but when you wear this you completely forget you're wearing anything and in my opinion, that is how foundations should be.
I hope this has been helpful,
Thank you :)
