Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Review

Hey guys,

I have been using the Luminous Silk foundation for over a month but I've had my eye on it for months and months. 

Let's start with the packaging: it is gorgeous; it's a strong glass bottle; it has a pump top which is always a bonus. 

The description on brownthomas.com:
"Silky, lightweight fluid foundation for seamless application. Capture the glow of perfect looking skin with Luminous silk foundation, an oil-free hydrating fluid with exclusive Micro- fil™ technology. Its lightweight and silky texture glides on seamlessly for an all-day, buildable coverage. All skin types. Capacity 30ml."

The foundation comes in 24 different shades to suits all types of skin tones and shades so there is something to suit everything. I would suggest asking for a sample before trying it. There is never any problem to ask for a sample especially for a pricer end of the scale foundation. 


My skin is normal to slightly dehydrated so I never have too much trouble with my skin that's to genes but the one issue I had with this foundation is that it never stayed on the end of my nose and would fade and slide off a lot but maybe that was the combined problem of aircon in work. I work most days and it has been so cold the last month so the heat has been on in work all day and it has effected my skin slightly. The other problem is this foundation will set you back €45 for 30ml. It is a luxurious foundation and you do get what you pay for. I got shade 4.5 and that matched my skin tone perfectly which is always a bonus. 


I would re-purchase as it leaves your skin looking flawless and it doesn't cling to any lines or dehydrated/dry patches I may have. 


Hope you enjoyed this review.
Until next time beauties.

Boots No7 Offer February/March

Hi beauties,

I was in boots looking for a foundation as one I can use during the day and I knew I was going to pick up the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique foundation that I've used before and forgot how much I love as it suits my skin 100% so I was going to leave and pay but I spotted a No7 offer that if you buy two beauty products to you get a fab little set.

I thought to myself what else do I need at the moment and what have I run out of so I picked up the Airbrush Away primer and an Eye Primer on which I'm both enjoying at the moment. 
need to use them for another few weeks and then I'll know fully if they suit. 

Inside the box I got:

Beautiful Skin Dry Skin Rescue for the skin which will be great on those days my skin dries out because of the aircon. I will put it on before my makeup and at night when I've taken all my makeup off. 

Strength & Growth Nail Treatment; I love to get my nails done with gelish paint because I love how it lasts the 3 weeks. I go to Paloma's Nails (look up Paloma's Nails and Beauty on Facebook for an appointment). She's fabulous. So when I get the polish off my nails can be left a little soft and fragile so I love to find a nail strengthen and growth. My polish has been on nearly 2 weeks and it's still perfect but I'll be getting it taken off in another week. 

No7 Lovely Lashes for glossy natural volume; I love mascara with volume so I'll see how this goes the next few weeks. 

Stay Perfect Eyeshadow from the Good Earth Trio (middle shade): it's very creamy and blends very smoothly in the eye. I really like it so far.

I'm wearing the eyeshadow today. It's a fab neutral colour to pop all over the lid. 


I'm wearing the eye shadow today it has earthy tones of grey/brown. It blends easily I'll need to see how it lasts the day with primer. There wasn't a lot of fall out when I was applying it. It was very creamy and blended out very easily. 

That's it for now so until next time beauties,
