"The Magic Faraway Tree" "The Magic Faraway Tree" is a popular children's book written by Enid Blyton. It was first published in 1943 and has since captivated the imaginations of young readers all over the world. The story revolves around three siblings named Jo, Bessie, and Fanny. They move to the countryside and discover a mysterious tree, known as the Faraway Tree, near their new home. This extraordinary tree is said to reach up into the clouds and lead to different magical lands. The Faraway Tree is inhabited by a cast of whimsical characters, including Moon-Face, Silky, and the Saucepan Man.
The idea is an excellent one and it could potentially be a great product but there are things missing and something I can’t quite put my finger on that makes me dislike it.
It doesn t have the coverage of a regular foundation product and runs sheerer so it does perfect and will hide minor issues but if you desire or need fuller coverage this isn t the product for you.

L’Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder in Nude Beige
Where I got it: I got this on ebay for approx. USD$15 (approx. NZD$18.30) including shipping from the US to New Zealand. This is not available in New Zealand, so I need to buy it online, plus it will be much cheaper. It is called Magic Nude Liquid Powder in the US and Canada, but Nude Magique Eau de Teint in the UK and Australia.
What I got: This is L’Oreal’s Magic Nude Liquid Powder in Nude Beige #316. This comes in 12 shades in total and the nude beige is a light/medium yellow toned shade. Magic Nude Liquid Powder is very much similar to the Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup in terms of its texture, consistency, technology and coverage. I was given a small sample of the Giorgio Armani Maestro fusion makeup to try and I really like it. The liquid powder foundation is designed to have light to medium coverage and is more suitable for combination/oily skin as it does catch on dry skin patches.
How I find it: After moisturising, I let my skin settle down for a few minutes, then I shake the bottle up to mix the formula well. The packaging is a little disappointing as with most drug store foundation, it is just a glass bottle with a screw top to pour out the foundation. As for this really liquid formula, you can easily pour out too much. Tip: I would use my middle finger to cover the opening and tip it upside down so the foundation goes onto my fingertips, then I apply directly on my face. This foundation is not designed to be used with a brush Immediately after application, the skin looks really natural, sheer cover but evens my skin tone quite nicely, the texture feels amazing! After about 10 minutes my skin looks exactly the same as it was applied, still the naturally matte finish and no oxidizing. After about 1-2 hours I see no oil on my t-zone, the skin actually looks better than when first applied, it seems to work with my natural oils so the foundation sticks to the skin.
Overall: This liquid powder makeup is really comfortable to wear, works fantastic with combination-oily to oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin and have dry patches, beware because it will catch onto the dry patches. I was in Japan a few days while travelling and it was a dry winter day, the foundation catches onto my flaky skin which was really bad. For winter time or dry seasons, I would use a more moisturising cream or hydrating mask before I apply foundation. The foundation seems to look so much better after my face produces some oil, my face is not slick, but it seems to fuse with the foundation and look like my own skin. Even though the coverage is not high, I prefer this natural look while on holiday and for work!

Reviews for "Embarking on a Fantastic Journey with The Magic Faraway Tree"
1. Emma - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to read "The Magic Faraway Tree" as I had heard so many great things about it. However, I was quite disappointed with the book. I found the plot to be incredibly repetitive, with the same thing happening over and over again. The characters felt one-dimensional and lacked depth, which made it hard for me to connect with them. Overall, I just couldn't get into the story and ended up feeling quite let down.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - I have to say, "The Magic Faraway Tree" was a huge letdown for me. The writing was very simplistic and lacked the magical and captivating tone I was expecting. The dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, making it difficult to believe in the world the author was trying to create. Additionally, I found the pacing to be very slow, and the story didn't hold my interest. I was hoping for an enchanting adventure, but instead, I felt bored and unengaged throughout.
3. Sofia - 2/5 stars - I read "The Magic Faraway Tree" with high hopes, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The book lacked a cohesive plot and felt more like a series of random events strung together. I also found the writing style to be clunky and the descriptions to be lacking. The characters were forgettable, and the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. Overall, I found it to be a mediocre read, and I was left feeling disappointed.
