La Roche-Posay: Toleriane teint fluid Foundation

Hey everyone!

I know that the foundation part is quite interesting for many of you when it comes to blogging part.
It's crucial for me too, while I believe a good base on your make up can change your whole face to the best, but to the worst too, so you really need to be careful when you're about to choose the correct make up!

That's the part when La Roche Posay comes... again !!! :-)

This review is going to be for a full coverage foundation! So, if you're on to that keep reading!
If not, still keep reading as you might change your thoughts on heavy and full coverage foundations...
Let me tell you why...

To begin with, this Toleriane range foundation is the best for my skin out there! I can shout out that this is my all time adorable full coverage foundation everrrrrr ^_^
I know what you're waiting for me to say and yes! It has amazing full coverage with only one little drop!!!
I do have acne scars, and this one makes them dissapear like magic!
It conceals the red part areas, without leaving you with that purple leftover marks some medium foundations do. No, it just conceals them perfectly with only one layer! It's easy when in comes to coverage as you don't need to reapply a second layer, even if you're on the most problematic side.
Seriously, I do want to wear a foundation that don't need to use a concealer on top on spots and blemishes. It's time consuming and can be a little tricky sometimes as you might overdo it and instead of concealing, you tend to enhance more the area you wanted to hide.
With this foundation, you conceal your whole face, even if you don't need to, without looking like "oh look, she has acne on her chin", cause it provides an even looking face!
If you feel like not wearing foundation to your whole face, you can easily sheer it out with a smaller amount and you're done!
I think that even if you're not on the full coverage fan club, cause you have bad experineces on looking cakey and heavy faced, or because you just don't need a full one, this one would change your mind. I believe that you would love how your face looks, even if you do have a problematic free face!
It creates the perfect base for your make up as it makes you so incredibly even, even on your under eye area while you don't need a concealer there too! Amazing huh? :)
The only part you should be more careful with is the wrinkle area around your mouth. You need to apply a tiny tiny layer, just what has left in your hands so as not to have those lines noticable.
I do love the finish! It's semi matte, which I think is incredible as you can manage your matte finish with your translucent loose powder you love and boom, you're ready! And with that combo, it last 24 hours! Yes, I have tested it out for sooo long, so you can trust me.
I'm so excited as you can tell, cause you can immediately feel better with your skin, camouflaging areas you want and feeling nice playing with your rest make up!

Also, a key to that amazing result is that the 11 Light Beige shade I own is the exact same color with my neck! That's a plus as you can't see a difference. Obviously, due to the full coverage it's noticable that you're wearing make up, I don't say that it won't. But, imagine heaving a full coverage foundation with a slight lighter or deeper color match? It would be a disaster... ( If you're an NC20, go for 11 ).

Oh oh oh! It has an Spf 25 too !!!! For me this is amazing! I don't get why some of you keep complaining of the white cast effect on your photos. I haven't noticed anything on my photos. Even If I did, I wouldn't mind as the benefits I get for the product can't beat that!

I do like the package too. A simple plastic tube, with a thin dropping stuff, enough hygienic for my usage.
Price whise, it's more than ok, as for 19 Euros you get a perfect full coverage foundation, while my Estee Lauder double wear has 40 Euros.
I have stuck to this one and I won't buy again another foundation! I'm in love :)
I have found the one that I'll keep buying, as I did with my Froika Cleansing Gel !

A thing that I have noticed is that the previous formula, with the yellow picture in front, not with that red one, was thicker? Perhaps less workable? I feel like I was liking the previous formula more, as this one is more watery when it comes on applying, while the previous one was less liquidy? I don't say that it's not good,it is easy to apply, as it glides on your skin, but I feel with those full coverage foundation it's easier to put the product on, and with only one swatch you get the product applied.
Maybe I'm wrong, cause they say it is the exact same product and that they only changed the package. Don't know, it's not something special no matter what.

So, maybe I should't have shared with you my secret for faking a flawless skin. But who cares, now you know! :)
If you do have it, please let me know if you're so amazingly in love like me.
If not, go get it!  :-)

Have a nice rest of the day!

La Roche-Posay: Toleriane Ultra intense soothing care

Goodmorning people!

This is again a French scincare review, for a daily and basic routine; facial hydration...

You know that I'm a La Roche-Posay lover! I've been using almost all brand's products for soooo many years, same my mum. My dermatologist recommends their products, from the time I cant even remember myself!
Specially in Greece, we used to order them from France so as to get them to Greece. They were so expensive, as they consider to be those pharmacetical products. Nowdays, they're less pricey, still at those high end price level, so that's a relief!

Well, enough with my rambling.
On to this amazing moisturiser!

Toleriane Ultra is a facial moisturiser for allergic, intolerant, sensitive skin.
A thing that you need to know first is that you might have sensitive skin even if you have oily acne prone, or even if you have dry irritated skin. So, that's the purpose of this moisturiser, to be converted to any skin type needs, while paying attetion to the need a sensitive skin has.
It has a rich for my oily skin texture, enough thick to feel that you are really moisturised. But the key is that even though it has that texture, it doesn't feel heavy on your skin.
I can see that I have for some minutes oily forehead, but my skin absorbes it in 5 minutes.
I use it every day in the morning to my chin, nose and forehead, places my skin can accept more moisturization than my cheeks.
I love that it leaves the skin smooth in just a sec! I can feel that after I cleanse my face, the right amount of oilyness that has gone is back in place to my skin; and I do believe that's the key to that product.
It has that thickness a moisturiser needs, without making you oily but inserting deep to your skin the amount you need, whether you have acne skin or dry. Every sensitive girl prone to allergies can use it as you put moisture to your skin while feeling barely nothing at your smooth face.
It's the perfect base for your foundation too, helping you create a silky result.
The smell is pleasant, nothing too special. Only that good high end pharmacetical quality aroma.

Product was sent from assetOgilvy on behalf of L’oreal Cosmetique Active.

 My mum has dry-cracked skin, and she can use it too, feeling reliefed and immediately smoothed. It's amazing how it can be worked for both skin types, adapting each ones needs.
Apart from all of that, it has an ingredient that from time to time allows your sensitive skin to be more acceptable to allergies that propably would affect you and minimize them! 

An important part is that it is simmilar to the moisturiser my dermatologist had recommended to me by Froika, the Sensitive Cream Light. http://www.froika.com/default.asp?V_DOC_ID=2071.

They are both for really sensitive skin, that needs calming and soothing  anti irritating properties, for immediate results no matter your skin type! From oily to dry !!!
I'm not afraid while I'm using it, as I know it won't harm myself; And it doesn't !!
I love it for that and that's why I DO recommend it !!!! 

It's a 40ml product for around 15 to 20 Euros.
It has a new innovating packaging, that doesn't allow air to come through the pump, so as the cream can be truely closed, away from contamination and oxidation. As I can see, the moisturiser is closed in a kind of plastic bag inside the bottle, in order no cream  dried up residues to be left inside the bottle. Very clever and hygienic method!

This is a video showing you what a sensitive skin really means!!!!



Enjoy your day!
