My top 3 Foundations of all time
My all time favourite foundations are:
1. Coverderm Perfect Face
This is my top foundation of all time, it is full coverage, thick cream that covers every imperfection (also used to cover tattoos). It is very easy to find your shade since 9 different shades are offered. It is also waterproof which can be worn during the very hot summer months and it simply won’t go away or transfer, and it is very long-lasting. Very safe to cover acne with it as well as it is non-comedogenic. It also has SPF 20 in it. I do not wear it everyday since it is quite heavy. It’s finish is satin-matte. It is also fragrance free.
30ml retails for approximately €30
2. Rimmel Stay Matte
One of my everyday favourites! Despite the cheap price, it has very good coverage, a mousse like texture which is extremely blend-able, build-able and smooth velvety feel. It’s easy to find your appropriate shade as 6 different shades are offered. It is quite long-lasting - perfect for everyday makeup for work. It is fragrance free. This foundation is also formulated to help control shine. As it’s name suggests - it is a matte foundation, perfect for those with oily or combination skin.
30ml retails for approximately €7
3. NYX Invincible
Although it is marketed as the fullest coverage foundation in the NYX range, I don’t find it full coverage, I find it as a medium coverage foundation which is build-able. It’s formula is of a thick liquid and a little goes a long way. This is an oil-based foundation however it still gives a semi-matte finish. It is a tad difficult to find your shade as the printed colours on the foundation stand are not the same as the actual colour of them. I have the lightest shade which I sometimes use as a highlighting concealer. It is fragrance free. Overall, even though it has some cons., I still love this foundation as it gives medium coverage and gives a nice finish.
25ml retails for approximately €20

Head & Shoulders Shoulders 'Smooth & Silky' Shampoo Review
VJ Salomone Marketing Malta were kind enough to send me The Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky Shampoo to try it out.
As soon as I got it I was excited to try it out but my hair was still clean because I washed it the day before. So I waited until my hair got a little bit dirty. So finally, yesterday I tried it out and used it.
I usually use the Tresemmé shampoo and conditioner, I’ve been using them for a long time switching between the ‘Deep Cleansing’ and the ‘Smooth and Silky’ series. At home we also have the Head & Shoulders ‘Classic Clean’ Shampoo, and I sometimes use when I have some dandruff in my hair.
So let’s jump to my review/first impression about the H&S Smooth and Silky Shampoo:
I have very dark brown hair (which has been through a lot of bleach and colours - copper, brown and blonde), an oily scalp but dry ends.
As soon as I got into the shower I wet my hair and put some shampoo in the palms of my hand and massaged them onto my scalp. The smell of the shampoo is lovely. I could already feel my hair soft.
I washed my hair twice with this shampoo, then I applied some conditioner to my ends and left it for about 5 minutes.
I rinsed my hair with cold water (because it slows down oil production and leaves hair looking healthier and shinier). While towel dry, I applied some Milk_shake ‘Whipped cream’ which is a leave-in foam, some serum to the ends, brushed it throughly and left it to air dry for about 3 hours.
When it was completely dry, it was not frizzy as usual after a wash, but I had beautiful shiny locks and large waves without frizz. It was so smooth and silky that I did not straighten. I left my hair looking natural. I did not have any dandruff, looked clean, smooth, soft and shiny… not to mention the lovely smell!
Usually I have to style it using a straightener or a curler for sure because it is left frizzy. I did see a difference.
I was impressed. I’d give this shampoo 5/5 for my first impression. Today, my hair still smells like clean hair, looks smooth and is very soft that I didn’t even need to style it!
Rate from 1-10
Effectiveness: 9+
Scent: 9+ Smells nice on both men and women!
Bottom line: Recommended and will re-purchase
You should give this shampoo a try!
