Foundations -Josie Maran Cosmetics - Matchmaker

I absolutely love this foundation. I bought it on a whim yesterday and am trying it out for the first time today. I applied it with my elf flat top powder brush and I only needed half a pump for it to cover and make my face look flawless. And this foundation lasts all day with a primer, although you might want to use a primer to make sure the foundation goes on smoothly and evenly. I don't know why some people think that this foundation is super low coverage because this literally makes my skin look flawless, I obviously can't cover up a few spots of acne or acne scars but I guess it could be because most of my skin is normally clear and I really only need a minimal amount of foundation. But all I really needed was half a pump and a little bit of concealer cover up the spots. Also, this gives a really natural finish. I would say more towards the matte side for me but it definitely looks natural, yet flawless. The color match is amazing!! I am NC30 and I got light/medium. Color was absolutely spot on. The only thing is that you really need to blend it well because if you use something other than a flat top brush like I did, for example fingers, normal foundation brush, sponge, BEWARE of streaks, you're going to have to blend REALLY well! Other than that, I would suggest not rubbing it in with your fingers because for some reason when I tried that, my skin felt a little irritated when I did so, but it felt fine with a brush. I'll give this 4 stars because it cost me $42 and I cringed when I bought this because I'm usually the type to buy drugstore makeup. Although, if all goes well, I think I will repurchase because this does have skin benefits and since I'm young, if I keep on using it, foundation won't keep on damaging my skin like some other ones I've used.

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Makeup

This is a great foundation and I love that it has SPF. The shimmer/Glitter effect did not overwhelm me, in fact I wish there was more because it still leaves my face with a satin finish, not dewy. It does make me look very fresh faced and has medium coverage but its not buildable for me :( Overall its still a great product that I will buy again but in a darker shade ;)

Styling Products -Farouk CHI - Chi Silk Infusion

I love this serum. Its a great heat protectant. I was lucky to buy this in a holiday set for $15 which included a full size silk infusion, shine infusion and a mini 44 iron guard at JCPenney. This is nice and leaves my hair shiny and soft. I use this after my shower sort of as a leave in conditioner. This is a really great product and is not damaging unlike the biosilk, which really ruins your hair. I probably wont repurchase it because of the price but its worth it if you have the money.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Finish Concealer

I have no idea what I would do without this. I have used probably 10 different concealers and have either returned or thrown away all of them except for this one and my covergirl one. THis is my holy grail. I use this everyday and I love that it has SPF because I already have dark circles. This is very creamy, buildable and lasts forever. I've used this everyday for a year and just barely hit pan on it. its great. I'm NC 30 which is a little light for me but it makes my skin look more flawless that way

Treatments -Aussie - 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep
chsokkappa 7/1/2011 8:09:00 PM
I had very high expectations for this conditioner according to the reviews I saw. I used it yesterday and I felt that it was very moisturizing but I pretty much had the same results of my normal conditioner, Neutrogena triple moisture. It was a little better than my normal conditioner but I can't use it everyday. But it left my hair detangled and moisturized so thats good. Overall its an amazing product for the price. If you like this "treatment" I would also suggest the neutrogena triple moisture conditioner because you CAN use it everyday unlike the 3 minute miracle. The packaging is nice but there is a downside if you want to travel. I don't want all the product spilling in ziploc bag in my suitcase. But this a definite repurchase product

Concealers -Neutrogena - Mineral Sheers Concealer

This product was OK but i got it at target on clearance. When I tried it, it was really creamy and moisturizing. However it was way too light for me and it enhanced my dry skin flakes and made my undereye look nasty. I've tried different concealers but my favorite is the MAC studio finish concealer :)
