Review: Lily Lolo Foundation and Blush Away Concealer

I have been searching for a great mineral foundation and concealer ever since I began to cut out toxic ingredients several years ago.
Over the past few years, I have tried so many of the foundations that green beauty has to offer, from the affordable to the luxe, but none have lived up to my old foundation. Until now.

I initially purchased three Lily Lolo foundation sample pots from AMORGANICA in Blondie, Candy Cane, and In The Buff. I quickly established that Blondie was my closest match, as the other two were too dark, but over time, I wondered if Blondie was a tad too dark as well. AMORGANICA were kind enough to send me the lightest shade available: porcelain, and I had finally found a perfect colour match! I was surprised that I was the lightest shade, but I guess I am pale!

Why do I love Lily Lolo's foundation?

• It offers buildable coverage (I would say medium when paired with a concealer), without feeling like you are wearing makeup at all.
• It keeps me shine-free all day long, and I don't have to reapply at all
• It is mineral-based so will not clog your pores and your skin is able to breathe
• It is affordable, $27 for a huge 10g of product

I use the foundation after I have applied moisturiser or tinted moisturiser. I tap some of the powder into the lid and apply with a kabuki brush to my face, buffing the powder into my face with circular motions.

You can buy sample pots of the Lily Lolo foundation for $4.95 to determine your perfect colour match on AMORGANICA's site.

AMORGANICA also sent me the Blush Away Corrector by Lily Lolo to try. Blush Away comes as a green powder to effectively conceal blemishes and cancel redness. This was my first time using a green product to cover my acne, and I was curious to see how it would perform. I applied it in soft layers to my acne spots with a kabuki brush, and then applied the porcelain foundation over the top. The Blush Away instantly took away the redness in my skin, and made it so much easier to conceal blemishes. I love it, and it will now be a daily staple, along with the foundation, in my makeup routine!

The Blush Away Corrector is only $16 and available at AMORGANICA
