Product: BeautyPie Everyday Great Skin Foundation Light Medium Samples Who for: Anyone and everyone who wants a lightweight foundation that has a matte finish First impressions: They are all too dark for me  After one week: Not applicable After one month: Not applicable Stockists: BeautyPie I have a love hare relationship with foundation, I love the way it looks on everybody else, but I hate it on me. Why? I can never find a shade that is quite right for me even the paler shades are darker on me. They oxidise over time whether I apply primer or not, they disappear. As you can see when I applied them before blending them, they all were a little too dark for me. Blended there was a slight improvement. I have taken photos after an hour and after four hours. I used the BeautyPie Pro Angled Concealer Brush to blend it in. After hours wear, I could feel my skin tightening where I had placed the foundation. Again., as can be seen in the photos below they are not a match to my skin tone as the

Product: BeautyPie Super Luminous Under Eye Genius Who for: Anyone who wants to hide dark circles First impressions: Not sure about this After one week: My lines are less visible After one month:Think its not really for me Stockists: BeautyPie I bought this as I have dark circles especially when my anxiety is not allowing me to sleep properly.  I had high hopes for this but it did not work for me.  I tried applying it on its own, under concealer and I just felt that it emphasised them, making them look greasy.  I could feel it on my skin.  Sorry its a big no from me.

  Product: Athletia Core Balance Toning Lotion Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: This feels lovely After one week: Skin feels soft After one month: I do not need moisturiser Stockists: Athletia, Selfridges This is the last step in their hydration routine. This is applied by pressing into the skin after I got three to four drops out of the bottle. It smells gorgeous and to me is part of the experience of using this range. I was unsure that that the amount I had in the palm of my hand would be enough to cover my whole face and neck, but it was. I did not apply any moisturiser afterwards as I noticed my skin felt hydrated and soft after the first time using it. And I have not used a moisturiser since. 

Product: Athletia Core Balance Oil    Who for: Anyone and everyone    First impressions: Does this go on my face?    After one week: Skin feels hydrated    After one month:  I do not need to apply a moisturiser afterwards    Stockists: Athletia, Selfridges    This is the first part of a two-part moisturising and hydrating skincare program.  I was not sure that this would work as my skin has been very dry lately.  You have to shake the bottle vertically then carefully get three drops out which I warm up using the therapist swipe.  I then press the oil into my skin making sure that I take time to breathe in the natural aroma of the product.  Then follow with Athletia Core Balance Toning Lotion.  I have not had to apply a moisturiser afterwards as these two products have provided my skin with enough hydration.
