Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser C/O John Lewis |  Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation SPF 30 C/O John Lewis

I always feel like I should start beauty posts with a disclaimer. I’m no expert, I have very little interest in make up. However, recently I have been starting to feel like I need a bit of a boost when it comes to my looks. I’m not getting any younger and I most definitely look like an ogre out of a well-known film when I wake up on a morning.

So when I was given the chance to review these products I was a little scared as to how to review them. Again, for the record I don’t really have clue. So rather than deciding to just ”go with it” I thought I would check out some beauty vloggers such as Essie Button & Lily Melrose  to get some inspiration. I love how both of them do their make up, 1) because it looks so easy & 2) it always looks natural. That’s the look I wanted to achieve.

The answer is pretty much given away in the ”No Foundation Foundation” name, it really is just that. Despite it’s rather funny smell (does all make up smell funny?) it breezed on effortlessly with no smearing or getting stodgy in parts where it had quickly dried. I think this was down to the consistency of the liquid. Normally I’m going over & over & over with foundation because you perfect one part and ruin another. This was so easy to get right. YAY FOR ME! I started with a fresh, clean face and applied in the key areas and used my make up brush to ”smear” it all over my face. My blusher & eye shadow sat really nicely on top without it looking bitty. It is a perfect everyday base.

You know that part about me feelin’ old? Well, there is a solution to that too and it comes in the form of the ”Nutritive Cleanser” from the Perricone MD range too. Twice daily I apply this to my damp skin to rejuvenate the natural oils (I suffer from dry skin so it’s great!) and in the process my skin is feeling much more ”normal” from it. Goodbye flaky skin.

They aren’t the cheapest of products & I think you really need to buy in to them to warrant the price tag, however, if you are looking for a great base that lasts all day, that looks natural then this would be perfect for you.

Have you ever tried the Perricone MD range? What should I add to my wishlist?

    Thanks for this review! What are your thoughts on the packaging? I’d be interested to see if we thought the same on it! 🙂 x

      Hi Lucie,
      Glad you enjoyed! Personally it is a bit plain and has a slight air of clinical-ness about it. I don’t think it contends as a ”playful” brand though like others.
      What are your thoughts?

        I have to agree Bee. The packaging does appear almost like a medicine bottle and while I agree it doesn’t claim to be what I call a “pop” brand, perhaps the colour of the bottle could be a bit more attractive. From your review however, I would trial this brand as you describe it to be lasting and natural – just what the Dr ordered! 🙂 x

          Sometimes looks aren’t everything are they? As long as the product does the job I’m not too bothered about fancy packaging as such.
          Let me know if you do try it out!

      Hi Monica,

      I’m not sure many people have either! It seems it’s being stocked in a lot of well known online retailers / shops!

    I’ve never heard of this brand, looks really interesting, I love the packaging.
    Probably a bit out of my price range at the moment though!

      I think a lot of people haven’t heard of it. It’s brilliant though!

      It is a pricier range – so yes, you do have to buy into the product to warrant it.

      Oh Jessica, I love awful. I can’t believe I will be in a different age bracket in October – I need to gain my youthfulness quickly!

      Hi Elizabeth,

      It appears not many have – hopefully spreading the word people might just start choosing it!

    Great review!! I have their no concealer , concealer and it smells funny too, I believe it’s the skincare aspect of it that makes it smell a bit ‘doctors-ish’ like kind reminds me of a smell id expect to find in my first aid kit lol!!
    I like it but for £38 maybe there are better concealers a out there!!
