Cheap & Awesomeee Mineral Makeup

Review: Sephora Mineral Loose Powder Foundation


Methinks I am in lovveeee!!! So I was on Sephora.com looking through their sale items...when I decided to click on this loose powder. Usually I'm not interested in the Sephora house brand at all. I usually just stick with my Urban Decay & MUFE. But then I saw the reviews and the price ($10) and was like, hmm, maybe I'll pick it up for fun next time I'm in....which was the next day. muwahahaha I had gotten a $15 off gift card from Sephora which was only valid if my purchase was $40 or more. So I bought my Urban Decay Surreal Mineral Makeup as usual ($30) and thought I may as well give this a try. If I didn't like, it was only $10...AND Sephora has a bombass return policy, so whatev's!

Mineral Loose Powder Foundation (Original Price $18)
What it is:
A hydrating, 97-percent-mineral foundation that creates a matte, flawless, natural-looking finish.

What it does:
Achieve beautifully buildable coverage with this versatile complexion-perfecting essential, suited to all skin types. Even out skintone, and conceal blemishes and imperfections with this antioxidant-infused formulation.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Synthetic Fragrances


I purchased this in Medium 25. It kinda looks dark in the container, but it actually blends in quite well to my skin tone. Right now I'm going from my summer color of NC30 to NC25, so this is perfect for someone in-between (or on the darker side of NC25, lighter side of NC30). PICTURE WHORING TIME, WHOOO!

It is, what it is. Hmm, hydrating? Me likes. 8.5g for $10? Me loves!

Did you read that?! No parabens, fragrance, allergens, or talc! SOLD!
Medium 25 - No flash
Medium 25 - with flash
The bare naked face. I know, makeup does miracles. That's why I wear it bitch!
Whoo! Blemishes & redness, GONE! Even skin tone, all for $10. :)
Ninja-turtle smilin with the completed face for work - added blush, liner, & mascara.
I freaking lahveee how fresh it makes my face look!
Umm...and then I decided to chop off some bangs. Fucked up looking every time, but they grow out nicely. :D
OVERALL:
Pros:
  1. I love the finish. Not totally matte like how it says, but I love that b/c it really makes my face look fresh. Couldn't stop lookin at my skin in the mirror. Yeah kittens, it was that awesome.
  2. Undertones are warmer to neutral, definitely not cool-toned. Usually it's pretty hard to find something that matches to my skin tone, but this is the closest I've ever come. HELLS YEAHHH! I've also heard of some cool-toned ladies saying it also works for them. :)
  3. Coverage is awesome. Remember I have redness, uneven skin tone, & pitted scarring on my cheeks. Covered it all in two sweeps.
  4. Doesn't look cakey when building up for coverage...which is strange because every other mineral foundation I've tried tends to cake up after awhile.
  5. Uhhh, it's $10!
  6. Good for normal to combo skinned people. Not sure about you dry folks yet because my skin hasn't been too dry lately. Which leads me to say:
  7. This stuff is hydrating! I keep saying "strange", but it IS strange because I've never had a mineral powder that actually is hydrating! You know how you wear some that just make you look fucken 80 the next morning or after you take it off? (well in my experience anyway) ... this stuff is amazeballs! My skin is really hydrated after I take it off, and it makes my skin soooo softttttt.
  8. So far, has not irritated my skin or made me break out (knock on wood).
  9. Looks beautiful in person but....
Cons:
  1. The dewiness the foundation gives off can sometimes translate as oiliness in certain cameras. On my digi & in person, my skin looks fresh & nice. Cell phone cam though, it looks oily. :(
  2. Oily skinned folks, if you wanna try this, better mix some good oil control powder in it because although it tended to keep the oil at bay, you could kind of see the oil through the powder! Strange and hard to explain, like the oil was kinda there after a couple of hours of wear, but if I patted at my skin, there was no oil! I'd probably mix in my MAC Prep+Prime powder to mattify my t-zone area more...also some good shit I have to do a review on.
Sooo, I'm pretty much conflicted. I love the way it looks in person, but it's probably not the best to wear for pictures IN CERTAIN CAMERAS. And then there's that weird issue of "Hi, I'm oil but you can't blot me because I'm not really there." I guess I'll just have to keep wearing it for longer. Would I purchase again? Probably....that is, if Sephora isn't discontinuing it. LOL Anyhow, go try this out and see if you like it. It's some really good mineral powder for every day and for $10, you can't beat the price. Plus, you're free to return within 60 days if you don't like it. Just doooo it!

Two Dorra Lipstick?!

Holla for 2 dollars! You know I'm all for cheap makeup...but only for cheap products that still do a decent job. Oh, and sorry I haven't posted in forever, I'm fucken busy! Anyways, on to the review. What am I talking about? I'm talking about Sally Hansen's Natural Beauty line inspired by makeup artists Carmindy of the show "What Not To Wear." Umm..I think that's the show she's featured in...Anyhow, Ulta carried the line, but apparently, the products were all going into major clearance sale. Sooo by the time I got to my Ulta, I managed to only find this one lipstick and one other color I didn't quite like. I got the lipstick in "Baby Pink" for $2. Picture time cause I know that's what most of you impatient whores are waiting for. :)


Umm, pretty much how my lips look without anything on them. They're usually a lot more pigmented, so this doesn't really count. hahahah

After applying the lipstick. Pretty opaque stuff. :)
Was a bit too cool toned for my taste, so I went ahead and applied a warmer lipgloss on top. Ahh, love.
One more picture for you guys. This one was taken indoors with flash...obviously. Anyways, I'm lovvviinnn this lipstick. Too bad I can't find this line anywhere anymore. *sobsob. Oh, and I know my foundation is lighter than my neck. What can I say, I <3 to play in the sunshine. hahahaha

Dewy, So Cut the Grease Asshole!

Heyoooo, I know I've been MIA since my giveaway last month....damn, I really haven't blogged since last month?! ffuucckk. I have no real excuses except for my fucking job which almost always requires OT!!! But oh well, getting paid ain't that bad...except when you have hella bills. hahaha

Anyways kids, today's post is how to get that dewy (not oily, I hope) look. I looovveee this look during the dryer months of the year (aka Fall & Winter), but it can be a bit much during summer. Whomever is trying to sport the dewy look during summer realllyyy has to get that shit down right, or else I'd be wondering if they were frying up some chicken and that shit got on their face. hahaha This picture doesn't quite do-the-dew justice but whatev's, you get my point! And don't mind the brows, I don't know what the freak was going on with them in this picture. I swear they were even when I did my face...you'd just better take my word for it...or else...haha!


Steps to Do-the-Dew
  1. Wash your face! Exfoliate if you have to but just make sure it's alllll nice and clean of debris...and even if you have some blemishes, you can still pull this off...I know, cause I have hella blemishes. Doesn't look like it though, right? Yap, it's my Savior, aka, my War Paint!!!
  2. Moisturizeeeee. I used Clean & Clear's Night Soft Oil-Free Moisturizer (which is now discontinued, damnit!). Rub it in real good...rub, rub, rub like you were massaging a hot naked man with some body oil. Let that sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. BB CREAM!!! More specifically, Legere White Multi BB Cream. I fucking loveeee this stuff. It covers so well, I don't even need to wear foundation anymore. The thing is, it only comes in 1 shade so I have to mix my MUFE HD foundie with some of this so that it matches my summer skin somewhat. It gives this lovely dewy glow without crossing over to the grease side.
  4. Do a light dusting of some good setting powder. I like to use my Urban Decay Surreal Mineral Makeup or MAC Prep+Prime Translucent Powder.
  5. Apply a nice, light sweep of some dolly pink blush (MAC Pink Swoon)
  6. Apply highlighter on top of the cheekbones & down the bridge of the nose (MAC Redhead MSF)
  7. Go light on the eyeshadow. To really get that brightening effect on your face, line the waterline with a white or light peach liner, then apply a white-gold eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eyes.
  8. For lips, all I did was chapstick. A baby pink lipgloss would probably complete the look.
And there you have it! That's how you do-the-dew...without the grease. P.S. Would you guys like a full review on the Legere Multi White BB Cream?

Blog Giveaway WINNER! Whooo!

Sorry ya'll, I've been super busy, but I'm only 2 days late after my blog sale ended! hahaha Anyways, as we all recall I had a small giveaway when I had 50 sexy kitties following my blog. I used a random name generator to input everyone's entries, including an additional entry for those who posted it on their sidelink. With that said, let's get down to the winner.

And the winner is.....drumroll....TARA! Now let's all congratulate her for winning! And umm..remember, I was kidding about the whole stoning the winner to death out of jealousy thing. hahaha :D So Tara please message me with your address and which pigment sample you'd like.

And as for the question I asked you to answer in order to enter which was, "Do you believe in ghosts and have you ever experienced anything supernatural?" I have always believed in ghosts but didn't experience anything supernatural until my 2nd year in college. My good friends and I moved into a townhome together and what's weird was that for the first week of March, my dogs would be very nervous and anxious and would bark at nothing. The same thing happened every year the first week of March afterwards (this is the place I'm just barely moving out of). But this year was different...it seemed to act more "prominently." Once while taking my dogs out to the back around 12:30 am for their last bathroom break, I heard a kitchen cabinet slam shut HARD...and I was home alone. Then my dogs wouldn't want to go upstairs and would just sit at the base of the stairs, stare up, and growl or bark. THEN...IT FINALLY HAPPENED. My old roomie was over and we were catching up in the living room talking. The windows & sliding door were closed and the AC was not on. As she was talking, I felt someone blow into my right ear and all the hairs on my arm and back of my neck stood up. THAT SHIT WAS SCARRYYYY!!! But yeah, luckily we're finally moving and on to our new place. You know Imma be throwing a bottle of holy water into every room! hahaha But there you go, my supernatural story along with the giveaway winner. hahaha Have fun sleeping tonight kitties!!!
