As a seasoned makeup junkie I absolutely love trying new liquid foundations. The problem is that they take soooo blimmin long to use up, it's a rare moment when a new foundation enters the beauty race.
For a while I've been living off foundation samples but sometimes a newcomer just HAS to be brought in. And today that bottle is the new Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude foundation.

Tried & Tested! Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation
Another year gone, another hundred products tried and tested. I dread to think how much I spend on my beauty habit but hey, let's think positive - at least I can tell you guys what's super and what sucks! (whether you'll listen and/or care is another story..)
And that's what today's post is about - my favourite, and least favourite products of 2013!

Beauty 2013: A Face Value Beauty Blog Summary
Zoe's bought a new foundation to add to her collection? Errr standard!
I saw the advert for this L'Oreal Eau De Teint foundation in a magazine and I was instantly intrigued. "Perfectly invisible, lighter than water, zero make-up feel" + I haven't tried it yet = SOLD.
Although I absolutely adore my current foundation fave - the Bareminerals Ready Foundation - I'm actually going through a really good skin phase at the moment (touch wood) so I was in the market for a lighter coverage foundation.
Doesn't it look beautiful? A frosted glass bottle with purple foil accents - quite expensive looking for a high street brand. And it's not just a pretty bottle, I was actually really impressed with this foundation!

Be A Natural Beauty with L'Oreal Eau De Teint Foundation
Did everyone have a good bank holiday? The weather has been absolutely fab and the Notting Hill Carnival had everyone in great spirits. On the other hand, strong sunshine and strong booze has done nothing for my skin. And don't get me started on it's evil associates - Junk food, Late Nights and Not Enough Water. BOO.
But I've got something to help conceal all manner of skin sins. And of course, I'm hitting these spots hard with a big-hitting beauty brand. It's the Even Better Concealer by Clinique.
Tomorrow morning I'll be using this concealer because it gives moderate to full to VERY FULL coverage. Perfect for the-morning-after-the-night-before y'know?
WARNING. This post contains some horrendous skin sins being concealed! ^_^

Hiding the bank holiday hangover with Clinique Even Better Concealer.
I'm sad to say that my spell of clear skin has come to an end. What? This isn't meant to happen? I'm like a REAL adult now! Surely it's meant to get better from here?
Unfortunately as I said farewell to the up and down hormones of puberty, I said HIYA to the 4 horsemen of the skin-hating Apocalypse. Alcohol, Stress, Processed Food and Going OutOut.
Does it look natural? Is the coverage heavy enough? Does the finish feel comfortable? Will it have disappeared or changed colour by noon? So much choice and SO MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER.
Thankfully my innate money-saving sixth sense (aka being well tight with my pennies) has taught me that try before you buy is king.
You gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find the handsome prince! So on that theme - here's a round up of the foundations I've been testing before committing to that big spend.... READ ON DEAR READER!

The days of wearing just BB cream and a smile are no longer enough. Heavy duty foundation is required!
If the years since puberty have even taught me anything, it's that the right foundation for me is about three things :
- Colour
- Formulation
- Lasting ability
