Normally I am not much for face make up (foundation). It always feels too made up and I had never been able to find a shade that looked normal on me. It seemed I always looked like a greasy orange at the end of the day when I wore foundation. But lately, that has all changed. I do like some coverage now to hide past sun damage (oh how I wish I would've always been sun smart and NOT tanned!). I recently got a sample in the mail for L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base. At first I thought to myself, "do I really need to add another step?", and the answer to that is yes. This base can be worn alone or under makeup. It really does even out skin tone and makes pores all but disappear, and it makes my foundation go on much more smoothly and look great! I highly recommend this to everyone. Even if you don't wear foundation.
I have found 2 foundations that have changed my mind about foundation. The first one is Mary Kay Mineral foundation. It looks completely natural, provides just the right amount of coverage, and feels lightweight and fresh all day. For when my skin is feeling a little dry I use L'oreal Visible Lift. It does a good job also of looking natural and covering well. Both of these also contain SPF, which is really important to me.
After hearing all the wonderful reviews and raves about e.l.f. cosmetics, I decided to give them a try. Most of it I was really impressed with. I have to say the best thing I got from them was their brushes. Super amazing quality at dollar store prices! I also ordered their Shimmering Facial Whip in citrus and pink lemonade. They are both sheer and shimmery (no glitter) and are perfect for summertime when you may want to keep makeup simple. I also got the All Over Color Stick in pink lemonade. It wears well all day and does not crease or run. I don't care to use it as a lip gloss because it seemed to dry for that, but for eyes and cheeks, it did awesome. I also ordered 2 liquid eyeliners in midnight and plum. I have yet to try those, I'll let you know about those when I get around to them.
And last, but not least, I have to give Vaseline it's due. It's a very versatile product, that I don't think I could do with out. I use it for lip balm, to tame my eye brows, to moisturize my knees and elbows, I smooth it on my feet at night and wear socks to bed and wake up to smooth tootsies! It can also remove stubborn eye makeup, protect scrapes and small cuts, and the list just goes on and on.
This is the end for today! I hope everyone enjoys their evening :) Love and hugs to all, Sarah Jane
