My 25cent foundation

There's nothing worse than spending good money on a foundation that ends up being utter shite! We've all been there, probably more than once! I for one have at least 15 different foundations and probably only use three or four of them! But I like to try different products and brands as often as I can, for research purposes of course :) So during the week when I was in my local Boots I spotted a foundation reduced to €2.25. It looked my shade so I said I'll give it a go, if it's no use, no biggie. It was Seventeen's Stay Time foundation in the shade Biscuit and lucky for me it scanned in at 25 cent!!

But be prepared to pay about €10 for a pint or bottle and about €14/€15 for a decent cocktail! In saying all of that, by the time you're finished reading this you won't mind spending a bit more then usual :) Accommodation We sta
