ALL ABOUT FOUNDATIONS! HITS & MISSES!

Hey guys!

Today I will be talking about the foundations I have tried and which I like the BEST!

FAVORITES:

When I want a full coverage I use my MAC STUDIO FIX. I am completely in love with this product. It is not too watery and not too thick. I use this the most when I am going out for dinner, special occasions, or just in the mood to have a nice full covered face. This does not finish cakey at all and it is very build-able. I am in the shade NC30. I love the color range for this foundation. If you are new MAC make sure you find out if you are either a warm tone or a cold tone skin.


Another foundation that I have been using everyday is BENEFIT HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN foundation! The consistency is very watery. I feel that to best apply this foundation is either with a flat kabuki brush or just your hands. I found that other brushes will give it a streaky look. I have been using this foundation during the day. I love how it is light but yet build-able.





OTHER FOUNDATION REVIEWS:
I have tried the new Urban Decay Naked Foundation and to be honest it was *okay*. Would I purchase it? No I would not. I feel that the finish on it looks a bit powdery on my skin. (I am dry to combination skin).

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation is a very watery foundation. I do love this foundation but I feel that it is super sheer. The color range is the basics. It is super pricey. I posted this in my May Favorites but I probably would not repurchase this due to the cost.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is a very heavy foundation. I feel that I'm wearing 10 layers of foundation! :O Ah. I also felt that Lancome's 24hr teint was a very heavy feeling foundation. If you are super dry I definitely do not recommend this one.

FOUNDATIONS I WOULD LIKE TO TRY:
I have heard so much great things about Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. If you have tried this please let me know if it is worth the $$$!

Makeup: May Favorites!!!!

Chanel Vitalumiere AQUA has become my favorite foundation of the month! It is very light and more of liquid form instead of the cakey feel. I picked up the Beige color that better fitted my skin tone. This was expensive but I think that investing in a foundation that would be good for your skin is worth it! ($45)

Sephora & Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Eyeshadow Palette is absolutely my favorite!! The eyeshadow applies very smoothly and is very easily blend-able. My favorite color is the "pantone"...it's a bright teal/blue color. I love it on the corner of my eye duct. This is perfect for the summer! I also like how some colors are shimmery and others are matte. This palette was also expensive but definitely worth saving money and getting! I wanted to get a wide range of eyeshadow colors but everything at Sephora was either a palette of only certain colors for around 40$. So I decided to save up $15 more and get this amazing palette. ($55)

Nars Laguna Bronzer is a bit of medium-dark brown colored bronzer. I like how I can use a light concealer and this bronzer makes me look tan. I totally recommend this color it looks great in the sun! ($34)

Buxom Euphoria Blush is a BRIGHT coral looking color (sorry the picture doesn't really show the true brightness of the color). I really like this color for the season. The only thing about the blush that makes it a bit difficult is the texture of it. It's a bit hard and not powdery, so I find myself constantly dipping my brush into the blush to get the color on. ($24)

From Left: Mac Creme Cup, Right: Mac Amplified Salute!
I've been into nude colors lately. The Creme Cup is lighter in person, it's a very light pink that is a bit close to my lip color. ($14.50)`The one on the right, Amplified Salute, is from their Sailor Collection (limited time), it is a light peach color that gives that very perfect nude look. This one was a bit hard to find, thank God I got the last one =p ($15.50)

Victoria Secret Bombshell Perfume is my favorite scent lately! It gives off that sexy romantic smell...Haha. I love it! (I think this was about $10)




Ahhhh. It was fun doing my first post. All pictures are taken by me =)
My goal is to try new things and let you guys know how I feel about the product. I also will be posting bits and pieces of my life. Hope you guys enjoy my blog!
