A little while ago, Seventeen launched their on the spot foundation and this was really hyped up by bloggers and youtubers at the time. I had to buy this foundation when it came out due to the claims it made. Apparently it will reduce spots in four weeks which is pretty good for a blemish foundation. I have never used a blemish foundation before and I do have quite a few blemishes, so this was a must buy.
I have been using this foundation for the past month to two months, so I would know if it has actually worked or not. The shade I have is Porcelain which is the second lightest in the colour range and the foundation also has spf 15.
At first I thought the foundation was a screw top but no, it was a pump and this I love because I find I can control how much product I get out by using a pump. Plus using a pump makes it more hygienic and saves on wasting product. The foundation is a thick consistency and I really do not need a lot of product to cover my whole face. I use one pump to cover my whole face and I still have a bit of product left over which I use on my neck to blend out any foundation lines.
Seventeen claim it is a full coverage foundation but I have to say I think it is a medium coverage foundation due to not covering up any scars, blemishes or dark circles. This is a bad point because full coverage is meant to cover all these areas and not to use a concealer over the top. However with this foundation I still have to use a concealer on any blemishes that still show up through the foundation. My dark circles still show up and it seems that this foundation does not cover up dark circles at all.
This foundation has a spot fighting ingredient called salicylic acid and this is the main ingredient to try and combat breakouts and blemishes. It doesn't say what the percentage of salicylic acid is in the foundation but it will not be that much compared to a facial wash.
Even though it doesn't cover up anything, I still like this foundation because it blends easily with my skin and it doesn't take too long to blend. I usually apply two small layers to make sure I have the best coverage I can get out of this foundation.
I find that this foundation lasts all day with a setting powder such as the Rimmel stay matte powder. It lasts most of the day which is what I like in a foundation as well.
Over all I quite like this foundation despite the lack of coverage on blemishes and dark circles. I quite like how thick the foundation is and there are about six shades in total and I am the second to lightest which is pretty amazing since sometimes I am the lightest shade it is still looks too dark but the colour on this one is nearly my skin tone and doesn't look too light or dark, its just right.
I have heard some reviews saying its not a good foundation but I think it depends on your skin tone and if you have problem skin.
Have your tried this foundation? If so what is your opinion whether you like it or not?
This has to be by far the best collection from Models Own (for me anyway). Firework collection is one of two new collections released last week and if you love glitter then you will love this collection. This collection is for the autumn/winter 2013 since it has the name 'Firework' and all the names for the nail polishes are names of fireworks which I quite like. There are five brand new nail polishes in this collection and they are all packed full of glitter. Each nail polish has a colour associated with it but they do not have a base colour. They all have a clear base with a main colour by different types and forms of glitter. I have tried my hardest to get good swatches and pictures of the nail polishes and their glitters, plus I bought fake nail sticks to try and get a much better swatch than you would do just seeing the polish in the bottle.
The first one is Rocket and this is a red theme glitter polish. There are red strands, orange hex, holographic micro glitters.
Roman Candle has pink hexes light and dark pink, pink and silver dots, silver micro glitter and holographic strands.
Banger contains light blue hex, pink dots, lilac micro glitter and blue strands.
Catherine Wheel contains orange hex, red dots, yellow strands and yellow micro glitter
Sparker contains holographic strands
I got mine from the Models Own website and it was £20 for the 5 polishes plus I got a mini buffer.
Boots are doing a buy one get one half price and I know they have started to stock Models Own in Superdrug. The firework collection is going to be released in Superdrug on 25th September but it is already out in Boots and on their official website. They are £5 pounds each and I think they are affordable and brilliant for how much they cost.
