So I've been using Revlon's ColorStay with Softflex foundation recently with my Target Stippler Brush, and I've got to say, it's awesome. The coverage is medium to full, but I get the airbrushed look with the brush and no cakey-ness. I don't use foundation everyday (just whenever I feel like it.. about once or twice a week) but when I wear this foundation, it really feels lightweight and I can hardly tell its there.
I've also been using the Hidden Agenda Concealer by Sonia Kashuk pretty much everyday since I bought it. I have small red marks from acne scars and the olive based color (bottom right) really covers it up well. Previous to this, I used Maybelline's coverstick in Deep Beige and although it was pretty good at concealing, the color didn't really work that well with the redness, so it would take a while to blend and such.
Oh Cetaphil.. how I love thee... I've been using it about every other day (and using St. Ive's Apricot Scrub the other days) and I really love it. Since Cetaphil is soapfree, you don't need to work up a lather, all you do is slather it on your face, rub. and rinse. It makes face cleansing so much easier over the sink because I usually hate doing it with other soapy facial cleansers. Another plus is that you can use it by leaving it on your face and just wiping it off with a towel, leaving a sheen. This relieves my worry about leaving soapy residue on my face as with other cleansers.

Unfortunately, They shipped a wrong item to me. I ordered a mini eyelash curler, but they gave me a regular one instead. I emailed them immediately and they responded the very next day that they would send the correct item out ASAP. I'm still waiting, but it's only been a few days.
I guess I should've flipped these two pics over because they are upside down. They're supposed to be in the order that the swatches are on my hand.
L-R: Lipgloss in watermelon, all over color stick in pink lemonade, blush and bronze duo (supposedly a nars dupe), and the eyebrow kit in medium (wax and powder)
swatches with direct natural light from the window
Thanks so much for the support! lol I have an accent?
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't mind you asking at all! ;) I'm also such a nosy person myself.
Yes, Austria is my native country, I would say... I'm born and raised here, but my parents are originally from Taiwan.
I've never been to the U.S, yet. But I#d really like to travel there, hihi..
Cheers!
Jess
Thanks for the comment. The color payoff is pretty good in the palette. I think the best ones are the more shimmery colors. So far my favorite shades are the blues and green. =)
ReplyDeleteNice e.l.f order. The pink lemonade color stick looks really pretty.
LMAO I'm glad you like your man-friend
ReplyDeletei like that bronzer/blusher...too nad i can't avail that because ELF doesn't ship to my country

Hi Jenn! I see you're just starting out too. Gotta say, I'm liking this blog very much. You should post more recipes up instead of teasing us with the end result like that salmon. =P
