ok, so I went ColorStay crazy... the products from that line are just really good!! I've heard so much good things about them... I love the foundation so much so I thought I'd try other stuff as well... if you are following my blog religiously, then you would know that I now have 4 different shades of the ColorStay liquid foundation... the first ones I got were the Normal/Dry skin in Fresh Beige & Medium Beige from my BOGO free Revlon post... then this time I got Combination/Oily skin in Golden Beige & Warm Golden... I'm doin an experiment to see which shade is best for my skin tone... If I get the chance, I'll probably post pictures for comparison, that's if I get the chance to... it's friggin hectic these past few days so I dunno! so far, I'm really devoted to the Fresh Beige, the Warm Golden might be a little dark for me, although I've only used it twice & I think I might've used a little too much bronzer both times... the Medium Beige is almost like the Fresh Beige one just a teeny bit darker... I haven't really experimented with the Golden Beige as of yet... but no matter what, I've decided to keep all of them... they are really great & maybe I can use the darker ones when & if I get tanned... I can only wish!!!! **sigh**
I also got one of the new Mineral Finishing Powder in Suntan Matte... I think this product has a really good finish especially if you want to get that natural tan without getting too much shimmers on your face... MAC Mineralize Skinfinish dupe?? I dunno, I only own one MSF & it's the skin tone ones... LOL... but even without having tried the MAC ones, I could say it could be a really good dupe, if not better... the thing that I love about this is that the product that gets into your brush, regardless of the number of swipes on it, is very minimal... that means you don't deposit that much on your face... while the one that I have(Medium/Natural & Shimmer) gets too powdery after a couple of swipes... but like I said I only have one so I don't really have the right to give it a bad review, plus regardless of it being too powdery, I still like my MAC MSF... I know! I don't make sense sometimes.. LOL...
I got a pressed powder as well, I just wanted to see if my ColorStay foundation would look really good if paired with its partner-in-crime... & IMO, not really! the Coastal Scents Silica Powder does a better job... it is still my go-to setting powder, still irreplaceable... as of now anyway! but I think I will keep this powder, I have a feeling it will eventually be useful to me...
one of the products I've heard people ravin about is the concealer from this line... I have yet to try it but I'm definitely excited to! why?? coz the friggin MUFE concealer palette that I got, gots to go! it's not creamy enough for me... it dries out on my skin faster than anything... then it gets flaky before I even get to cover it with foundation... it is sooo going back to Sephora.... it might've worked for other people but not on my stinkin face...
another thing I picked up today is the Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover... another new thing I wanted to try & so far so good... it doesn't feel oily like the Neutrogena one... but I need more time & trials to reach a verdict...
til next haul makeup junkies!!!!
