So like I said in my Smashbox blog, when I had my trip to Boots in Tunbridge Wells, I also got some goodies from the No.7 counter. I was served by Susie who was very informative and knowledgable about the products which was very helpful having never really used their products in the past.
I explained I wanted to see how they used the Colourmatch technology (after walking past many times and wondering what they were doing!) to find the perfect shade and here's how it's done...
Firstly they take a little bit of your make up off each side of your jawline (which they do then cover up! Don't worry!)
Then they use this little device to take pictures essentially of your skin. This then picks up all the different pigments to decide on your shade using the most found pigment. Clever huh!
I decided on the highest coverage as my skin isn't great at the minute. So... I'm currently a little bit in love with this foundation.
It's not as high coverage as I'm used to with MAC studio fix. However! It's so nice to put on and doesn't feel like you are even wearing foundation. The colour is spot on too. I don't think I've ever found a foundation that is such a good match before. Very impressed.
I also picked up their new power contour palette. This is also a new favourite for me. I decided on the darker shade as I preferred the colour of the highlighter in this one.
Both colours are super pigmented, and very easy to use and blend out. This is definitely going to be staying in my make up bag.
They also had some new lipsticks in too... and I obviously had to have a look! I chose this gorgeous shade, Berry blush. It's such a pretty your lips but better colour and a lot more day to day than my Smashbox purchase!
It's lovely and moisturising on your lips as it's in the Moisture Drench range and the staying power is rather good too.
Next up I had some samples to trial. I've already tried the no.7 airbrush primer and love it, so Susie suggested the colour correction airbrush primer. This made me chuckle as it's shrek green so quite amusing when applying, but it does the job and very well. You don't need much at all to cover your whole face and my make up stayed on longer and was easier to apply when using this.
Lastly I got one of the No.7 mascaras to try out. This is the Lash Impact, intense volume control. The packaging is a gorgeous gold glitter which makes it stands out in my make up bag. I do like this, also I have to build it up with a few coats but that's pretty standard for me and my small lashes!
Overall a lovely selection of make up and lovely ladies on the counter. I will definitely be going back for more.
Much love
