Dream Flawless Nude VS Nude Magique

There are no excuses for my extended absence other than... uni? 

I digress. Quickly.

Something I must point out first and foremost is that I hate the feeling of foundation, or just having an unnatural layer caked over the top of my skin. If my complexion decides on being nice that day then concealer all the way, but if needs be then a light mattifying coverage is the way to go (being an oily t-zone sufferer). Hence when L'oreal released their Nude Magique foundation, heaven opened up in the aisles of Boots. However, a host of brands have been releasing their own take on the liquid to powder formula, including more recently, the more budget friendly Maybelline. So a comparison post was deemed to be inevitable.

The Foundation Routine

Having a clear but still somewhat natural base has always been a slight goal. So through much experimentation and research ... on blogs of course; I have managed to round up and form a core collection of products that work for me and my skin type on an everyday basis. I can also happily add that all products are drugstore and so thankfully don't break the bank.

THOUGHTS: L'Oréal Nude Magique Foundation

The Boots 3 for 2 offer lured me in as always and this time around, I decided to try out a few new released bases. There have been a few whispers on this particular release but all were fairly positive and the concept of a 'fresh feel foundation' and 'weightless perfection' definitely intrigued me enough to give it a go.
