BB Cream Re-Review

Okay, So I think I have found my holy grail foundation!!! This might be a tad early to say such things since I have only used it four times BUT I have never liked something so much after using it four times. I have usually found something wrong or had to figure out how to work with it and make it look okay. Most foundations are usually too pink or too yellow and not have much coverage. This one only requires one application and my skin looks airbrushed. It's absolutely amazing. 

SO WHAT IS IT?

Garnier BB Cream in Light/Medium for Combination to Oily skin

I had tried the regular Garnier BB Cream and found it so streaky and orange. It was also far too hydrating for me and made my skin look like a disco ball after an hour. I hated it. In fact, I reviewed it like a year ago. 

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER!

I tried this on a whim. I checked my bank account and saw I had a little bit more money in my account than normal. I had actually not been wearing a foundation for two weeks beforehand because I didn't have anything worth using. One was too orange and greasy and the other was too light and dried my skin out. I went to Shoppers to kill sometime and with my new found money and saw this. I had used a sample in an Allure Magazine months ago and had liked it. It was on sale and I thought "What the heck?". I'm so glad I did. The coverage is amazing with very little product and it looks so natural. I'm very happy with it. I will see how my skin reacts in the next few days but I'm quite happy.

Ello ello!

Another post? What? I'm getting good at this.

So I ordered some things from the Balm a while ago, they were having a huge 50% off sale. However, the sale started off on quite a rocky note and their website crashed and was down for over a week. When it came back up I bought two things. Now, for about a month, I heard nothing from them. I got a confirmation email but that was it. No shipping notice or updates. Nothing. They hadn't even charged my credit card. I was SUPER PISSED. Yes, it's makeup but I'd like to know what the heck is going on with it. Anyway, I emailed them to ask what was going on. No response. Then, about a week later my credit card was charged and I got a shipping confirmation. Seriously? No reply email saying "so sorry it took so long but we've shipped it now"?? So when I opened my box on Friday with the products inside I was a little mad. BUT that quickly changed. HOLY MOSES! IS THEIR STUFF AMAZING OR WHAT?. I have never tried anything from them before, just heard countless YouTubers like EmilyNoel83 go on and on about how great their stuff was.

WHAT I GOT:

Bahama Mama Bronzer

This baby is so pigmented, it's amazing. It retails for $20.00 regular but I got mine for $10.00 in the sale which is a great deal. You have to be careful not to use too much but it looks fabulous on. I am super pale and I think this would work for a variety of skin tones. It is a deep matte brown. I love matte bronzers instead of shimmer ones. Shimmer ones make me look like peach disco ball. I would use this to contour with as well. Fabulous! And we can talk about how freaking cute the packaging is?? It's like Benefit before they became too popular. I love it!

Frat Boy Blush

This baby is so much like Nars Orgasm to me, only it is way more wearable and far less shimmery. I love this colour so much. It is a lovely pink/coral colour that is perfect for a variety of skin tones as well. It is also SUPER pigmented so be careful and don't over load that brush, honey! It retails for $21.00 and I got it for $10.50. It says on the packaging it can be used an eyeshadow too, which is cool but I think it will take some practice to make this work in an eye look.

Now I know I got these on sale and that's a little unfair but the Balm is always on Hautelook and usually 50% off. You might have to wait a month or so before it is on again, but its a good deal. They also sell the Balm at Rexall pharmacy and they usually mark it down quite a bit. I really like this brand and want to try more from it. I am probably going to buy it from Hautelook or Rexall though because of the bad customer service their website seems to have.

Where have I been?

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

I almost forgot that I had a fracking blog! Yikes! I really want to get better about posting on here. I am crazy busy right now with work and my new play but I will be better I promise about posting!

Enough chatter, lets talk makeup, okay? 

Products I'm LOVING:

Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray is fudging fantastic! I used to hate it because I couldn't figure out how to make it work for me but I finally figured out the secret! I put my primer on first, I just use a cheap one from Prestige, and then I spray this all over my face and HOLY my face looks so great even just using those two products. My pores nearly disappear, it is fantastic! I put on my foundation and concealer and then another spritz of this baby! After that, I move on to powder products! Special thanks to Ingrid, or MissGlamorazzi for showing me the error of my ways :)

Another product I am loving is the Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti, have I mentioned how much I love corals right now? ERMEGERD! They are so amazing for spring! Well, coral in spring, it isn't a revolutionary idea is it? But I love it! Soo pretty! I think it would look good on most skin tones too.

Well, perhaps that is enough for one post but I promise to post more!
