Foundation find under 10€

pretty by flormar foundation

Sometimes affordable makeup products surprise me. Especially foundations. I’m accustomed to using more money on foundations and still to this day I think there’s just something special about luxury foundations.

And yet sometimes I stumble upon a great foundation, that is in no way luxurious or expensive. Except in use: it blends seamlessly, it creates a beautiful canvas to my face and it’s so good, I find myself grabbing it more often than my other foundations.

Today I’ll talk about a foundation that is like that – affordable, but awesome.

Pretty by Flormar Weightless Foundation

The foundation I’m talking about is Weightless Foundation by Pretty by Flormar. It’s a new brand, which is owned by Flormar. The brand is from Turkey.

The consistency in the foundation is quite thin and liquid. It makes it easy to apply and blend. Even though the name suggests the foundation is quite light, it still has amazing coverage. It’s buildable and I feel like it hides everything it’s supposed to hide, without looking like a mask.

It almost looks like my skin, but just a more perfect version of it. Which, I guess, is pretty good from a 10€ foundation.

The longevity with the foundation is pretty good. It stays nicely on my skin, but might need a bit of powdering during the day. I pair the foundation with good mattifying primers and powders, which make it even more long lasting. If your skin is more on the oily side, I suggest using a mattifying primer and a good powder as well.

The brand just recently came to Finland and you can buy it here from Tokmanni stores. Internationally I’m not sure about it’s availability. I think you have better chances at finding Flormar (which has some good products as well, by the way!). But if you ever stumble to this brand, make sure to check it out. I also like their blush, eyeliners and that rosy pink lipstick.

BEST BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDARS 2018

Who’s excited for Christmas? And more importantly – Beauty Advent Calendars? I know I am! It might seem a bit early to talk about Christmas, but when it comes to beauty calendars, you have to be prepared. And early. October is the time to order them, so you won’t be left without one.

I think beauty calendars are the ultimate Christmas present to yourself. Obviously you could just buy something for yourself, but for me, the element of surprise is important. There’s just something childishly exciting about it.

But if you do want to know what you’re buying –  you can usually always check the contents of the calendar. That way there are no disappointments. Or do both. Check the contents and buy the calendar – you still won’t remember every single product, so the element of surprise is still there.

Here are my top picks for this year’s best Beauty Advent Calendars!

This is my choice for this year. I ordered it a while ago and it’s already here at home just waiting to be opened. Both me and Risto love Rituals’ products, so I just couldn’t go wrong with this one. What’s epic about this calendar is that it’s shaped like a Christmas tree and it comes with lights!

If you’re just thinking of getting a beauty calendar, I would probably choose this. It’s a safe choice. It’s one of the most popular Advent calendars after all. It contains makeup, skincare & hair products. I had this calendar in 2016 and I was very happy with it. Read my reviews here. Take a peek at the contents here.

Very affordable, but tempting calendar! Sleek makeup has great price-quality ratio. I especially like their eyeshadows. The calendar contains for example full eyeshadow palettes, lip products and nail polishes. Full contents are listed on the link.

asos The Face & Body Advent Calendar $87
Another good option with lots of variety and different brands and products. Makeup, skincare & hair.

amazon 2018 Beauty Advent Calendar £50
Amazon sells some amazing brands so it’s no wonder they have their own beauty calendar. Last year’s calendar was pretty good, so I think this a very valuable option.
