Makarone83 7/12/2012 2:56:00 PM
I love L'oreal products. This foundation however im not entirley in love with. Pros: Cost is reasonable Color is nice Spreads evenly Coverage is Med (can be sheared or buildable depending on technique) Widely available Smell is not to strong or stinkey Not too much settling in lines/wrinkles, pores- As long as used with a base Not much discoloration with Oxidation- ever so slightly Cons: Glass bottle-Hubby accidently broke the first one No pump Pretty Liquidy Overall: The finish is dewy and this comes in a wide range of colors.I really like it except for those little cons.

Eye Shadow -Sacha Cosmetics - Eyeshadow
Makarone83 7/12/2012 2:42:00 PM
As in my previous review about this company yet again Sacha is no good. Their eyeshadows are very colorful (good for playing Mas during Carnival) not to much selection to do natural/nude/or smokey eye THE FALL OUT IS HORRENDOUS it gets everywhere Packaging is cheap I will say however the pigmentation is not to bad Sadly overall its not worth it

Crème -Sacha Cosmetics - Creme to Powder Foundation
Makarone83 7/12/2012 2:37:00 PM
Ok ill explain: Sacha Cosmetics is from Trinidad West Indies (I know im currently living here) obtaining things in this country is very expensive, so corners are cut ALWAYS Being that Sacha is a relativley inexpensive brand of cosmetics here, thats usually why people buy it. Also it is one of the VERY FEW cosmetic brands that offer testers in this country. With that being said: The product is not good. It is very heavy (which for some reason women in this country love that), cakey, settles into pores/wrinkles has the absolute WORST FLASH BACK when photographed with regular cameras especially for med/dark to dark skin tones Customer services in Trinidad is virtually NON EXSISTENT which would explain why their customer service is so bad Its very dull and does not blend nice at all Really and truly I could on about this company. I took what was called a makeup course from them and I was horrified, I didnt even finish it. They said I was the first person who asked for their money back. Bottom line: If it works for you FANTASTIC however for most people there are way better selections of cosmetics out there other than this company

Concealers -Graftobian - HiDef Corrector Palette
Makarone83 7/12/2012 1:52:00 PM
Once again thumbs up. I have the 5 color corrector pallett. Product goes on very well and is not heavy or cakey The colors themselves are really well (not to light or to dark) I have very very dark circles. Brown with a little blue sometimes if im sick or did not get much sleep. The darker Salmon color works for evening out the skin tone, and ligher pink/salmon color is for highlighting/concealing. Only negative for me is I have to order mine online. Other than that very pleased

Crème -Graftobian - High-Definition Glamour Color Creme Foundation
Makarone83 7/12/2012 1:44:00 PM
I have used many foundations and by far this is all thumbs up for me. I have 2 Graftobian Palletts, warm and cool and combined I make neutral. I am usually Buttermilk but I will mix depending on how my skin is looking. This foundation requires very little and the coverage is flawless. I find using a nice stippling brush or a kabuki brush really makes it nice. Once set it stays, the finish is more satin/a little matte I find. It is not dewy or shiny. There is no high fragrance Color does not really change with Oxidation Theres no cakey effect or accumliation in wrinkles and pores The only downfall to me is availability. I have to order it online Still its amazing and I really recomment it
