Lancome DUAL FINISH - Versatile Powder Makeup

Since I haven't blogged in MONTHS, you guys must be wondering what foundation powder I've been using. This has been my everyday foundation setting powder. Sometimes I use it for foundation alone but I wasn't a big fan of the finish it gave me. I would have to pack on hella just to get some coverage but then it made my face look a little dull. Maybe I am just not a fan of foundation pressed powders...or maybe that was just a bad day...I can't decide. Sometimes I like the powder alone and sometimes it makes me look dull and it ranges from brand to brand too. But I mainly used this to set my foundation. I initially bought this at MACYs for like $35ish cuz I wanted the GWP but then later on I saw this at the Lancome outlet store for like $10 cheaper so I bought it there and tried to return the MACYs one but they said I need to return the GWP too so then I decided just to exchange it for a liquid foundation. The liquid foundation I will review another time...I also bought ANOTHER Lancome foundation mainly because of the GWP lol! I am telling you the GWP has hella good shit in it!! Hella worth it!! =) I have yet to try the other one. Ahhh I have a lifetime of liquid foundations!! I need to finish them ASAP before they expire!!

February Hit Pan

-My Maybelline Eyestudio Quad in Green With Envy

Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer Review

I use this EVERYDAY. Not to cover my pores but to prime my face esp. under the eyes because it makes it SO much easier to apply undereye concealer!!! I noticed a HUGE difference! Sometimes I don't prime my entire face because I still see my pores but it does make the skin super smooth for concealer and foundation.

I can't really tell if it makes the skin tone even because I have really bad hyper pigmentation.

It doesn't sting my eye.

Price: $30 OVERPRICED

I do like it A LOT and I would buy it again but only if Too Faced have their friends and family 30% off ^_^

First hit pan of January

-Cover FX powder FX mineral foundation from Sephora $35
-OMG I just got this too not even that long ago! I've had this for a few weeks not even a month and I hit pan already! Either there's barely any product in here or I use way too much. Hmmm this powder has spf10 and it casts a white shadow over my face making me look hella pale in pictures. Either that or I am using a shade too light. I got shade M50 and I am a MAC NC35 supposedly.
-I've been sticking to this because I heard that it is good for sensitive skin and ever since I switched to this powder my has has been clearing up!!!!! So I think I'ma stick with this one til I run out. I wanna try the cream one next.
-It has 0.42 oz, way less than the MAC and Makeupforever one

Best Concealer for Undereyes

Sutff that I'm tryna hit pan or finish

-Urban Decay primer potion depotted (my first one ever from 2007! OMG should definitely try to finish it, still got a LIFETIME of UDPP in my collection)
-NYC black eyeliner (its a good eyeliner but me just tryna make space and get rid of the old)
-Revlon felt tip eyeliner (before it dries out yikes)
-Maybelline Quad (tryna hit pan on the highlight color for fun)
-Benefit Hoola bronzer (tryna hit pan for fun as well since already hit pan on the NYC Sunny Bronzer)
-ELF Shimmer Whip (didn't know what highlight to pick so picked this for fun, def can't finish the whole thing but let's see how much can I get rid of!)

Let's see my progress this month lol. I DOUBT I will go far cuz I don't ever reapply my makeup unless its lipgloss. Well I almost never need to reapply my lipglos if its MAC but today I wore LOreal and had to reapply like 3 times cuz it hella faded!!!

I LOVE hitting pan for some reason. I don't know why. I know some people don't like to cuz that means they gotta go out and buy another one. But for me, it shows me that I am making progress and is actually using my makeup and not wasting it. Plus it also means I get to try something new as soon as I run out.

Most of my makeup is MAC, Urban Decay, Benefit, and stuff from Sephora, but this year, I wanna invest in different brands and try out this stuff that I've never tried out before. I definitely want to try to the higher end. Higher end doesn't always mean better quality but this is purely for fun! I wanna try Chanel, Dolce and Gabana, Burberry, Rock and Republic, and all that good stuff! I have one Dior palette and one YSL palette and I like the feeling of having luxury brands in my collection haha.

My goal before was to finish one MAC lipstick and one MAC lipgloss that way I can back2mac sooner but I hate wiping off my lipstick to eat lunch. Yah it's annoying. I don't think I can finish one lipstick a month cuz I never reapply lol. I don't know how people do it!!!!

Right now my current foundation is Cover FX mineral powder foundation which is basically a pressed powder foundation. I got it cuz I heard that this brand is good for sensitive skin and my skin has been breaking out like crazy. I thought it was worse before this is far way worse than ever. So me laying off the liquid foundation for now and using this with my SigmaF80 flat top synthetic kabuki brush. I don't use a setting powder over it since it's already powder finish but I think I might use my ELF HD powder over it and see if it makes any difference. Yeah this is more expensive than the MAC Studio Fix pressed powder and more expensive than the Makeupforever Duo Mat powder! The compact is so sleek that it looks like there is barely any product inside. I just looked on the back and it has a tiny big more than the Makeupforever one but way less than the MAC one. Also it says it expires in July 2013. Interesting... Well my goal is also to hit pan and finish this cuz I want to try the cream one too!
