Now y’all know I’m a huge fan of Cetaphil products. The Gentle Skin Cleanser is a no-brainer (that’s Holy Grail stuff, yo!) and the moisturising lotion is a godsend when your skin is acting up and can only take the bare minimum of products. Did you know that Cetaphil also has a range called Suntivity which is a range of sunscreens? I had no idea!

Even though eye makeup is more complicated to apply than foundation, you’ll be surprised at how many mistakes a lot of us make when it comes to the very base of our makeup. Goodness knows I’ve had my fair share of mistakes when I was learning how to use liquid foundation and even more so when I experimented with mineral foundation.

In fact, even after so many years of using foundation, I still make some of these mistakes every now and then. Heck, I’d look in the mirror and go “ah crap, why didn’t I blend the foundation out better? It’s all patchy and horrid now!“. Sometimes, we don’t even know we’re doing it wrong.

Today I thought I’d share with you the top 8 foundation mistakes most of us make. And by us, I meant *ahem* me.

I’m only human after all and I’m sticking to that excuse! 😛

I’ve heard of Mavala nail polishes many times but I had no idea they do lip glosses as well. So when one of the lip glosses landed on my desk for review, I was quite curious to see how it measures up. The one that I’ll be doing a quick review on today is in Mandarine.
