Liquid -MAC - Face and Body Foundation
daynaaa 2/20/2013 11:15:00 AM
At first I LOVED this foundation. It was light coverage like I wanted. This cleared up my skin, and made it look smooth/radiant. The price is actually VERY good - at first I felt like it was a huge splurge ($40 for 120mL in Canada). But when I did the math, I realized I was paying MORE for most of the drugstore brands (I'd pay $20ish for only 30 - 40mL). So this foundation is actually better priced than the other ones I'd been using (per mL). The colour is bit yellow-ey for my skin tone. I am SUPER pale (as in, I have blue veins visible along my jaw-line and under my eyes). So I have to be careful about blending into my hairline and jaw/neck, cause if I don't, I'd get a yellow/orange mask with MAC. Overall, I'm still deciding if I'll buy it again or not - I've been breaking out recently, but I DO like the dewy-light finish it gives me.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Falsies

I have very long lashes, but they are sparse/thin, and tend to almost curl 'down' naturally (if that makes any sense). I have a hard time finding mascaras that keep my lashes curled. This one isn't perfect, but for the price, it sure is good! I rarely wear mascara (only when I'm going to the bar or something) but it is pretty good at volumizing/thickening.

Moisturizers -L'Oreal - Dermo-Expertise Nutrissime Reactivating Dry Skin Cream

Only bought it because it was on clearance. It smells very strong (reminds me of something my grandma would smell like). But overall an alright moisturizer. A little greasy. Don't like how you have to dip fingers into it, though.

Concealers -Rimmel - Hide the Blemish

Does not look on my dry skin. I only used it for an under-eye concealer for my dark circles, but honestly it seemed to bring more attention TO them. Too cakey/dry. Will not buy again.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup 24 hrs

I'm on my second bottle of "Revlon Color Stay Liquid Foundation, 110 Ivory, for Normal/Dry Skin". I apply my regular face moisturizer underneath (Complex 15 Daily Face Cream). This foundation looks great when I first put it on, and stays looking decent for a few hours, but by the end of the day, my dry patches on my cheeks/forehead have come through. It's around $20 at the drugstore I work at (but with my discount I only paid about $12). Still on the search for one that is REALLY moisturizing for my dry skin though!
