Hard Candy - Glamoflauge Foundation

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning loves.

I'm truly starting to wonder if I'll ever find a foundation that I love. I just finished up my Loreal True Match Super Blendable foundation, review here. Since I required a new foundation I picked up the Hard Candy 16 HR Full Coverage foundation in Wal-Mart because it was affordable and is one that I haven't tried yet.

 I've been using this for about a week and while it's not the worst I've tried it's nowhere near the best. I like that it's in glass packaging as that always gives it more of a luxurious feel. The doe foot applicators for foundation I really dislike. The only other one I've ever seen is on the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation and I wasn't a fan of it then either. I'd much rather it have no applicator! I find it hard to get a nice even coverage using the doe foot applicator. The liquid isn't runny and dries down extremely quick when applied to the skin so make sure you only apply in one section at a time and blend quickly!

It claims to be full coverage but as you can see above it didn't completely cancel out my blue veins so I'd say it's more of a medium coverage that you could build up if desired. The formula while not overly drying does cling to dry patches and emphasises them so if you're more on the dry side beware.

I woudln't repurcahse this but I will finish using it up.

What's your current go to base?

This girl is incredibly talented! I've been following her for a long time and her looks are always so wonderfully creative and new. She deserves a larger following!

She is a blending queen. All her looks are amazing. Her page has a great mixture of both colorful and neutral looks so there's a little something for everyone's interest.

 

ClaireLovesCosmetics

Okay, maybe I'm being a little biased her because Claire is a fellow Canadian. Just like Jeanette though her page features a mix of colorful creative looks and more of the everyday subtle looks. I love variety and these two ladies knock it out of the park.

Another beautiful lady who deserves more recognition. I mean look at that blending!

 That's all for today, I hope you guys will think of giving these lovely artists a follow. They're all talented and beautiful in their own ways!

Lush - Lucky Cat

 

Good morning loves!

It's been a bit since my last trip to Lush so I'll be having a couple little Lush reviews headed your way starting with their newly released Lucky Cat bath bomb.

I was extremely underwhelmed by this. The outside is covered in glitter which I don't usually like but it completely disappeared in the water nor did I notice glitter particles sticking to my skin, this was the only positive. The smell was subtle and only lingered for a few seconds. It turned the water an almost orange red, based on the outside I believed it would have been more of a lovely pink shade.

Overall, I definitely wouldn't purchase this again nor would I recommend. They have so many other great products that showcase their true creativity. I'd skip on this!

Have you tried any of their new products, thoughts?

Top 3 - Highlights

{left to right: ABH Forever Lit, Nude By Nature in Moonlight, Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight}

Hey loves.

Long time no post. Been busy with work and relationship troubles. We all have a life outside of blogging that sometimes isn't so easy and perfect.

Forgetting about that for a while I want to talk about my top three favorite highlighters, one of these being a rather new edition.

ABH Forever Lit - This shade is from the Nicole Guerriero collab that was done a few years back. While I adore the whole palette this is the shade that works best on for my pale skin. It looks absolutely stunning when applied to the cheekbones and I always receive compliments when I wear it. Beware though powder can bring texture to the surface.

Nude By Nature Beach Glow Liquid Highlighter in the shade Moonlight - This was recently gifted to me. My manager thought it was a lip gloss, haha. We had a good laugh over that. Again a stunning tone that has a subtle pink reflect. It's liquid so be careful as it's easy to over apply and then you're left looking like a disco ball. 

Cover FX Custom Enahncer Drops in the shade Moonlight - Moonlight seems to be a popular shade name for highlights. I adore this! This shade is a touch too dark for my skin though so I really have to blend it in and be cautious when applying, it's incredibly easy to over do it with this little guy. I would love to try out the shade Halo though. It looks beautiful!

Do you prefer cream or liquid highlights?
