Hey Hey Hey!

I have had quite a few people ask me what foundation I use, how do I get this "flawless face", etc. Although with taking very much care of my skin, I do use some awesome foundations and I wanted to share with you all which ones!

  • Maybelline FIT ME in 230
  • MAC Studio Sculpt in NC30
  • Revlon PhotoReady in 008 Golden Beige
  • Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich in Warm Natural 4.5
I have been using these foundations for quite a few months, some of them even years! All these are medium-full coverage, and buildable! 

My sister recently told me "You always go for that Kim Kardashian face." I wasn't sure how to take that considering she's very opinionated and forward with her words, but I love Kim so who cares! Kim conceals EVERYTHING. And SO DO I. I dont need full coverage foundation, but I love wearing it. It gives an amazing finish to my face and I absolutely LOVE it!

Maybelline FIT ME Foundation is an AWESOME drug store brand foundation. Legit, for like $6-$7 dollars you are getting a bang for your buck! I LOVE this foundation and actually just purchased my second bottle as during the summer I was a tad darker so for the winter I need a lighter color! This foundation is like medium coverage and is very moisturizing. I have dry skin, it used to be VERY dry, although I have taken great care of it it's only dry once in a while. Still, I need to use moisturizing foundations and this is one! It's easy to blend, easy to build, and SUPER easy to match to your skin!

MAC Studio Sculpt is a thick matte foundation. It is a foundation you need to work with. Not your typical foundation where you can just add some to your face blend and go. For a newbie, this may not be a good start. I have been using this on and off (because I like to switch up my foundations depending where I am going or doing) for about 2 years now. It is a full coverage foundation and somehow still very buildable. This foundation will leave you unbelievably flawless looking!! A little bit goes a long way, and if you work it in to your skin the right way, you will fall in love!

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation is actually quite new to me. A few months ago I purchased it, tried it at home, and took it back. I couldnt stand it! Just a few weeks ago I purchased it again. I didnt put it in any of my hauls because I was REALLY unsure of it. I just purchased it again to REALLY give it a go. If I liked it I would blab about it, and if not, I was seriously going to write to Revlon lol. I sound like a maniac saying that! Haha This time I wore it under different weather conditions, wore it in photos, and I really like it! It matches my skin tone perfectly, which is a super plus! It is very matte and also medium-full coverage. I love the pump action it's got, too! I am enjoying it for now, although still unsure if I'll repurchase in the future. So far so good though!

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation is a medium-full coverage foundation. It is matte. This is typically my go-to foundation. For the type of coverage it is, it's very light weight. Unlike the Studio Sculpt, it's super silky and thin. It blends amazing into the skin and leaves room for added coverage! I love this foundation for sure!

I recently got a sample of 2 Chanel foundations that I am honestly in LOVEEEEE with! It forthcoming days I will purchase one of them and give my feedback on both. 

What foundations or even tinted moisturizers are you guys loving? 

Tip: You can create your own tinted moisturizer by mixing lotion and your foundation together. Try it out, tell me what you think!

Helloooo!!!

I have struck again! I picked up a few things that I needed and well, of course, wanted!

  • EOS Lip Balm in Sweet Mint
  • EOS Lip Balm in Lemon Drop
  • Nail File from Sallys
  • Allure & Vogue Magazines (subscriptions)
  • Urban Decay All Nighter Spray
  • Zoe Thermal Pouch
  • Urban Outfitters Shirt: Leopard Cross
There is a photo at the bottom left of my blog home page.. it's of a girl wearing a white t-shirt with a leopard cross on it. I found that photo a few months ago and almost fell off my chair! I NEEDED IT! I searched for it immediately and didnt find anything. Just a few days ago I decided to search for it again and it came up on Urban Outfitters website.. BOY WAS I THRILLED! It was also on sale for $14.99, so you KNOW I was on that! I purchased it and it finally came in today!! AHHH It's HUGE, haha, the size was a "one size." Therefore, it's ginormous, but I dont care! I am thinking of taking it to my tailor and hope she can do something with it, OR I'll just rock it big the way it is, with some leggings and a belt! Oh -& stilettos, of course!

The other important purchase of this all is the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I have heard raves about this for MONTHS now.. My girl Cheryl @ Cheryls Beauty Blog posted about it recently and I just had to finally purchase it. She really knows her stuff. I cant wait to try it!!

The Zoe Thermal Pouch is for my hair straightener when I am on the go! This weekend, as some of you know, I went on a mini vacay to visit my girlfriend and her husband in Upstate New York.. I didnt have any way to store my hair straightener after I straightened my hair. It was actually still hot as I was ready to leave my house so I had to take it as it was and let it sit in the car. Had I had this Thermal Pouch, I would have been all set from the get go. Boo on me for purchasing it too late! BUT, I will have it for the futureeeeee!!

I am still very unsure if I like those EOS Lip Balm thingymajigs.. They taste kinda funny and we all know how I am about lippies that have funky tastes to them. The Lemon Drop one isnt so bad, and the Sweet Mint is OK. I need to keep wearing them to get used to them I guess!

I got those Nail Art Wheels too! I have been meaning to buy those for a while now and kept forgetting. When I stopped in Sallys I saw them and immediately remembered lol - I wanted those for blogging and for my own reference when I want to pick out a nail color! Definitely needed them for blogging too, because I dont want to always have to remove my nail polish to demo a nail color for you all. Having that really makes it easier for me!! Amen for chochkey gadgets like that!

So what I really went shopping for is a new blow dryer.. can you believe that after like 8 years my blow dryer died this weekend! That beast just stopped working on me! HOW DARE IT! I have had that thing since the beginning of time, ok not really, but you know I over exaggerate! haha! Here's what it looked like before it called it quits on me...(the black one pictured below)


The blow dryer to the left is my super super duper old one... lol it's like ancient, but I kept it after it started to go bad on me as a back up dryer... Then I had purchased the BabyLiss Pro (to the right) and it was my magic wand for the last almost 10 years! I lost the cap to the front so I stole it from the blow dryer to the left and taped it together, and I broke the back part that holds all the lint so it's been used that way for a while (the dryer fell). I mean, this thing took beatings and bangs and even got wet a few times - this thing was bound to stop working any day, but I definitely wasnt expecting it to be this weekend. 

Anywho, it gave me a reason to buy this badboy!


This thing is NO JOKE! I needed a 2000 Watt dryer. I just love the speed and heat of it. The 1875 Watt dryers really dont work for my hair. Which is why I actually never purchased another dryer other than my Professional BabyLiss Pro, because I just didnt think something would be able to match how amazing it worked for my hair... BUT THIS THING... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ::angels singing::

I got it on sale for $79.95 from $119.95 @ Ulta. Click HERE for the link to the site. Well worth the money!!! 

That's all my new junk!

I have some EXTRA BUCKS to spend at CVS, have any of you purchased any drug store goodies that I can go there and purchase too?? Do tell, do tell!!

XO!
