like the bomb go tick tick! make up review.

What's upppppppppp everyone! Just a quick blog today, as I'm going to go out again soon. I just got out of my last class today. Uhh.. so the only book that I REALLY needed this week (by tmrw) was my lab course workbook.. but the bookstore is OUT OF THEM! 3 days into the quarter!! I hope I don't need it but he did say to bring it tmrw.. oh well. I got every other damn book that I didn't really need YET! Better safe than sorry no? 

I'll post pictures of my tiny makeup haul from the Suite Array collection by Mac. I didn't touch  the Gold stuff and no Cremesheen for me either. Oh and I'll also post up a picture of what I cooked up last Friday before I went back home to Yorba Linda. I call it.. the "quick college student not good for you but so good food" ehehehehe.

Oh here's what I think of Make Up Forever HD Foundation

Price: $40

My color: # 120

Used: about a week and a half now

Location: select Sephoras (costa mesa, LA, etc)

Pro: Well.. your face looks nice in pictures, which is really what it's meant to do. It's not GREAT as you can achieve that same nice look by other means but I guess having that flawless skin effect in pictures by using a simple bottle of this is nice too. The consistency of this is a lot easier to blend than their Mat Velvet Plus foundation and their color range is a lot larger. 120 was a PERFECT match for me!

Con: It doesn't last for shit. It doesn't hold up well when you sweat let alone stand in humidity. Even on a decent day, it just kinda fades. Staying power = NILL! Careful if you rub yo face because it WILL come off. Oh and only a few hours into wearing this, you'll get a little greasy. Around your nose, T-zone, etc. I also didn't like what I saw in real life. Pictures are one thing but the mirror is another. While the color is perfect, it looked like it was just SITTING on my face.. it wasn't nature and it didn't make my skin look flawless. I prefer Mat Velvet Plus over this one. Oh and I have these pimples poppin up on my forehead and parts of my face just RANDOMLY.. I'm not sure if it's the foundation but after I stopped using it, they went away, so who knows. 

Buy again?: No. I haven't even finished the bottle yet and I already know I'm not going to use it again, unless I put on some mineral foundation on TOP of it (weird i know). Yes I've tried setting it with my loose matte powder but my face looks a lot better with other foundations. Not worth the price either. Mat Velvet Plus is $34 and it's also 1.01 like the HD foundation, so it's cheaper AND water resistant, which is a plus. I don't LOVE Mat Velvet Plus but it's the second best foundation I've tried next to Dior Forever. 

Why don't I use Forever anymore? Well.. I do, it's just that it's $42 for 1 oz.. so it's kinda pricey. But it's waterproof, has spf 25 and EXCELLENT coverage. Not for dark skinned ppl though, as their darker shades are more orangey. 

Okey dokey I'm done blogging, time to do something else! Ta ta!
