My top products to try out? Mascara, lipsticks and foundation!

I’ll never say no to trying out foundations as I’m always on the hunt for my new holy grail (I have a few already). So naturally I was so excited to receive The Body Shop’s new one, the Fresh Nude Foundation.

Fresh Nude Foundation (C$25) is a lightweight, breathable foundation infused with English rose water and 100 per cent organic aloe vera for a moisturizing feel. Available in 16 shades, the finish on this foundation has a semi-matte finish with a subtle healthy glow.

I received the shade Yorkshire Rose, and although it’s billed as being light to medium coverage, you surprisingly get a few good finish on this. I’ve worn it during the day and I’ve worn it at night; every time I put it on I don’t feel the need to go any heavier. As billed, you do get a really nice coverage on it and it feels amazing on the skin, definitely no dryness here! The Body Shop also mentions that it stays as true in the morning as in night, and although it does wear off, it keeps its finish pretty well throughout the day.

If you want to amp up the glow, try a few drops of the new Honey Bronze Drops of Sun Holiday Glow Creator (C$22), which provides a shimmer-free, bronze finish to your complexion. Perfect for summer, I like adding this to my foundation to kick it up a notch, but you can also dab the liquid gel on your cheeks for that “I just got back from Mexico, but didn’t” tan.

Don’t like wearing foundation everyday? Add a drop to our moisturizer to make your skin look more naturally sun-kissed; no one will ever know ;).

I was surprisingly very impressed with this foundation. In fact, this is the first Body Shop foundation I’ve tried and I often associate the brand more with skincare than makeup.  If you like lighter-coverage foundations, then definitely give this a try. With a large shade range and the fact that it’s moisturizing, you can’t go wrong with this one; it’s the perfect summer foundation!
