Okay, so it's not that I totally don't like foundation, it just scares me. I never bought my first foundation up until last year, before I turned sixteen. Which I guess I was behind in girls my age.
Anyroad, the first foundation I tried was a mineral foundation by Maybelline, which I still do have. Going to show that I really don't use foundation. I had mild success there, thus giving me confidence with foundation. Yay! So, then I decided, a few months later to buy Maybelline's Fit Me range, I, of course was the lightest shade. How can an Australian be the lightest shade? I don't know. I'm not big on the sun, but that's another story.
I thought the foundation fitted my skin colour well, and lasted a reasonable about of time, but it would get really patchy and icky around the dry areas of my skin. Yikes.
Then I moved onto Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation. That's probably my favourite out of all three of the foundations. Minus the glitter. I have no idea what is with that. I think it's meant to give you the 'glow' or whatever.
None of the products I've used have ever made me break out, or cause any major irritations to my skin. I guess I'm not a fan of foundation because I don't like the feel of it on my face.
So now... I've moved on to BB cream, which I will talk about in my next post.

Nail Polish Review
The most recent purchased nail polishes I have bought are Maybelline's Colour Show, and Maxfactor's Gloss Infinity. Maybelline was around 5 AUD, Maxfactor was on sale 7 or 8 AUD. I purchased Maybelline in Asphalt and Maxfactor in Berry Crush, both very different colours and different quality.
I used Asphalt prior to Berry Crush. It was surprisingly good quality for 5 dollars. A few coats were necessary, but it didn't chip immediately and didn't make my nails go discoloured or weak like some nail polish does. I definitely was impressed, and I will be looking for further colours, and testing out the 'shredded' range.
15 minutes ago I applied Berry Crush to my nails, as I had been wearing Asphalt for nearly four weeks now and it had chipped away enough for me to apply a new coat of nail polish.
The consistency, the way it went on was flawless to me. I'm completely in awe of this nail polish. It came out beautifully and smoothly, oh wow. I took some pictures:
Only one coat was necessary. The brush is a little bit big for my tiny nails, but aside from that and the fact I'm terrible at painting nails it is beautiful. I really love it. The pictures do not do it justice either. The nail polish does claim the it lasts up to 7 days, the gloss or whatever. So let's see if it lives up to it's name!
