#8: Favourite Foundation

So I decided to share two of my favourite foundations, one from the drugstore, and one high end one. From the drugstore I have the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless. I have mine in the shade naturally beige , and it’s the perfect shade for my skin tone. Next I have the Too Faced Born This Way foundation, I’ve talked about this one in a blog and shared my thoughts about this product. I love it because it feels light on the skin, which is very important for me. Both of these are great for everyday wear with medium to full coverage. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

#1: Most Recent Makeup Haul

So to start this makeup photo challenge that I’ve been wanting to do, here is day one, which is the “Most Recent Makeup Haul”. I know that this photo isn’t my best, but it’ll work. Sorry! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 Also, I’ll include mini reviews on some products mentioned/shown. 😁

Anyway, from left to right:

I have the MAC Royally Riotous (Amplified) from the Veluxe à Trois collection. It’s a dark brown nude, it’s almost like Whirl or Creme in Your Coffee.

Next I have the Sephora Look smart travel eye brush set. They’re magnetic so you can literally just attach the different eye brushes that comes with it on the handle. I think it’ll be handy.

I got the NYX brow gel in Brunette. I’ve been wanting to try something like this for a while now and I just have to say that I will definitely repurchase this product. 👍🏼

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I’ve been getting travel sizes of these because they have a few you can choose from. I just finished my bottle of the Deslick one, and next on my list after I finish this is the Chill one.

Next I have a Nars shadow primer, I also got the face primer with SPF, and a mini blush in Orgasm.

The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, I’m so excited for this! I’ve heard a lot of great reviews for this one and I can’t wait to use it! Will definitely do a review on this. 😁

Next I have the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I have a review for this one on my blog so you guys can see a more in depth review on that. But yeah, I got mine in the shade Naturally Beige.

The Stila Perfectly Poreless Putty Perfector, another one that I was really excited to get. I decided to get this one after I watched Dani (coffeebreakwithdani) talk about this product in one of her videos. I just received and tried it on today and oh my gosh, it’s like magic! I was completely blown away by this product. Again, There will be an in depth review on this sorcery. 😋

I have here two of the Becca Champagne Pop, the shade created by Jaclyn Hill. I originally had the intention of buying one, but it was so damn beautiful that I had to get backups. So yes, it might be too much, but I got two more for backups, I panicked a little because this is a limited edition product. I wish they would make it a permanent one because I really do love this highlighter. ✨

And last, but not the least. I talked about this product on a review before, this is the Swirl & Sparkle brush cleanser sample quad. Marii, the owner of S&S recently added four new scents, and I just had to get my hands on these. The four new ones are Birds of Paradise, Toffee Crunch, Orange Dream, and Java Mama. They smell so delicious that you’d want to eat it. 😝

Born This Way

So I caved and got this.. 😁 I’ve read/heard some pretty good reviews about this product, especially from YouTubers. So I tried it as soon as I got it earlier today in the mail. I first applied it with a beauty blender, and not gonna lie, I didn’t like how it applied with it, which is usually not the case because I ALWAYS use a makeup sponge to apply my foundation. It looked a little patchy when I first applied it, it even emphasized some dry patches on my face, which is my nightmare when it comes to applying foundations. So I was a little sad and disappointed. But I decided to try again a few hours later, I refused to give up on this product, seeing as a lot of people raved about it, and the fact that, c’mon, it’s a $39 foundation. So this time, I exfoliated my face and tried applying it with a brush. I used my Sigma F82 round kabuki brush, it went a little streaky at first, but I tried kinda “stippling” the product onto my skin and it surprisingly applied better than the first try. It gave me medium coverage, but you can always build it up, depending on your preference. I just don’t like having too much foundation on. I have to say though, this foundation feels so light! That’s something that I love about it, it’s as if you weren’t wearing anything on your face. I also have to mention how perfect the shade is, I got Natural Beige and it is literally the perfect shade for my skin tone, which I usually have trouble with when choosing a foundation. They have a wide selection for every skin tone, and I highly recommend that you guys check it out. It’s a bit pricey, yes, but I think it’s worth it. 😉 xx
