FOTD + Product Review


My fotd is inspired my pixi2woo's Scarlett Johannsen look for the Moet ad, and also my recent purchases. Ok so foundation i think was Chanel Vita-Lumiere. I like this foundation because i have dry-combo skin and it is moisturizing (pro). It would really be an ideal winter foundation. (con) - Since its warming up i tend to glisten easily and the added sparkle in the foundation makes my faces look like an oily mess:( I do prefer Vita over Pro Lumiere 100%. The coverage for Pro is way too heavy for me while Vita is just right- light to med. Eyeshadow - From the Michael Kors Blonde Mink palette i used the gold color for the inner 2/3 of my eye and for the crease i used Urban Decay Twice Baked. Conclusion: I will never buy Estee Lauder eye shadow again. It was horrible quality, gritty like dirt. I was soo disappointed, the gold color is pretty but im going to have to find a dupe because it was just a pain to work with, and for the brown color i didn't even bother using with this look. I did try it out and it was even grittier than the gold. I think Maybelline eyeshadows are softer yuck. Anyways... on my lips are Lady Gaga lipstick and English Accent lipglass. Love them both:) In my recent trek to find my perfect foundation i journeyed once again to Sephora to once again be matched to a Nars Sheer Glow tint. (I do recommend you get help with these because the color scale is difficult to read) Thank god someone could finally do it right and i was matched with Fiji YAY!!!!!! ( I exclaimed) lol, I've been wearing it the past couple of days and Ive gotten soo many compliments. It really makes my face glow:) But I am going to try MUFE HD foundation again in 120, and see if I'm swayed... I like to be thorough in my decisions. OHH Sephora has a new makeup brush line and i want a bunch!! Some are really nice and unique, worth the high price (which surpass Mac prices).
