Holy Grail Products!

            Hi guys! Guess what?! I'm sick! I have a fever and my whole body hurts but I still love you guys enough to post something. This post is for all the girls out there who do not have perfect skin. If you have acne scars, blemishes and discoloration, then please keep reading. If you have perfect skin, then please STOP reading and go away! I do not like you! Just kidding! No seriously though, I don't like you. =P Anyways, I wanted to talk to you guys about my two Holy Grail Products. I have been searching for the perfect foundation and the perfect concealer for a while now and I finally found them!

           Let's start with the concealer. I stopped by Sephora a couple of weeks ago and picked up the Makeup Forever Full cover concealer and it is AH-MAZING! I use shade #12 and it matches my skin perfectly. It is a full cover concealer so a little goes a long way. I use it to cover my acne scars and my under eye circles. I have wrinkles under my eyes and this is the only concealer I have found that doesn't settle into them. I love this product because it is waterproof and once you let it dry, it does not budge. I personally think it is a lot better than the Kat Von D tattoo concealer because it lasts all day and you get a lot more product. It is a little pricey, $30 for a small squeezy tube but it will definitely  last you a really long time. If you are looking for a good concealer and wouldn't mind spending a little more money then I would suggest picking this up. You will love it!



                  

              Let's face it, it is really difficult to find a good foundation. I tend to stay away from drugstore foundations because I can never find one that perfectly matches my skin tone. I don't know what it is with drugstore foundations but most of them make me break out. I have tried a lot of them and I kind of like Revlon Colorstay and L'oreal True Match. L'oreal is a good everyday foundation but it doesn't last all day even if you set it with a powder. Revlon Colorstay lasts for up to 10hrs but in pictures, it is obvious you are wearing foundation. The sunscreen in the foundation makes you look like you have a white mask on =[. I also tried MAC Pro longwear and that shit broke me out like crazy! Excuse my language but it was really bad! My skin is still recovering from that. I don't think I will ever use a MAC foundation again.

         Recently, I picked up Illamasqua's Rich Liquid foundation and I am loving it. If you want doll-like porcelain skin than this foundation is for you. It is a full coverage foundation and a little really does go a long way. If you put too much on, you will end up looking like a cakey mess. It comes in a squeeze bottle which makes it a lot easier to control the amount of foundation you want. It makes my skin look amazing and it is the only foundation that hasn't broken me out. It does not oxidize and does not have any SPF so it looks flawless in pictures. I love the fact that it doesn't transfer onto clothes so I can finally lay my head on someone's shoulder and not have to worry about staining their shirt! If you have dry skin, you need to moisturize before using this foundation because it does enhance dry patches. The best part about this foundation is that it lasts all day. I wore this last friday for 17hrs and my face looked just as perfect at 10pm as it did at 5am when I first applied it. This is definitely going to be the foundation I wear on my wedding day lol. The foundation is $34 but I think it's worth it so go out to Sephora, get a sample and try it for yourself.



            I do hope you guys try out these products because they are really good and worth the money. I will start posting up more stuff for you guys to read. I am going to be doing a couple of more reviews and maybe even start filming some videos. Thank you for taking the time out to read my posts. Take care guys, stay warm, drink a lot of orange juice and stay away from sick people! Don't forget to always Stay Beautiful! xoxoxox

  1. I feel like I know you... Are you a fan of "Hello Kitty"-themed products for the iPod/iPhone/iPad? If not, I apologize. You write like you are.
