who updates more than once a day? i do!

Whoever reads this must think I have WAY too much time on my hands as I very.. VERY often post multiple times during ONE day. :) I can only TEEHEE at you, because it's like AHAHA and then a AHEM.. and then a kind of hiding swishing motion. 

(did anyone get that?)

Angie: I realized that every comment I've ever gotten from you has either been helpful, or a wonderful compliment. Thank you SOOOO much for caring, and most of all, completely understanding everything I write and feel!  :) Katie hearts Angie

So and update is in order to lighten up this blog's mood! :) As it turns out, my manfriend read my post this afternoon and called me because of it. How weak is this, when I heard his voice I was all WAHHHHHHHH YOU DON'T LOVE ME SOB SOB SOB. He's all "shhh shhh, no, that's not it! I was just really mad at you and I didn't want to talk to you but that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore!" 

Ok.. I'm paraphrasing the quote really.. it's something like that. I was too busy doing the whole WAHHHHHHHH thing. Oh, he made me burn my left over pizza. We were just talking and I completely forgot I left the pizza toasting.. and well.. it was very crunch, sorta crispy, kinda black-ish. LOL!! It wasn't all bad, just the sides were black. 

:) The party is still on! I was going to drive down to see him after class tomorrow morning (only once class on thurs) so that would mean I'd arrive a little past noon, but he said he was gonna do stuff with his friends for his bday. "They're gonna make me do stuff I don't want to do" ..... umm.. ok. Sure. Should I be worried? Or do guys still do stupid things like.. stick tampons up their noses and think it's funny? My bf wanted to try that once. LOL!! 

Ok so I've been switching foundations around for the past few months. Let the story begin. 

This was my first foundation. Shiseido Hydro-Liquid Compact. I was young, my skin was the same shade as my mom's, so naturally, being the wonderful daughter that I am, I swiped it. LOL!! I THOUGHT it was great.. but I was young, what did I know? Now that I think back, it was streaky, cakey, broke me out. NEXT!!

Tarte Smooth Operator. It was ok. More like a tinted moisturizer if you ask me. The way it's packaged makes it kinda messy at the top over a small period of time. I don't remember why I stopped using it, but it must've been a good reason.

Cover Girl Smoother Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Medium. I used to just use the TM as an actual moisturizer after I washed my face (uhh..) and buffed on a thin layer of the MSF and that was that. It wasn't bad. I was doing this when I first met my bf. It wasn't GREAT coverage, but it was nice to sorta even out my skin tone a little. I still like the MSF but I don't really use it anymore. I have it in both Medium and Dark. I used to use it for contouring but left it alone after I discovered different bronzers and my beloved Emote blush after seeing a tutorial with it from MUT.  I tried using Dark today and you know what, it's a lot more natural than my current ones! Yea.. wth. Don't know, maybe I'll keep switching it up.

The beloved Dior Forever SPF 25. You see.. my first actual dior foundation was Dior Pure Light, but a few days after I got it, I wanted something with more coverage and that's when I discovered Forever.. or rather.. the MUA insisted on slathering it on my face.. which wasn't such a bad idea. I love this stuff, it's heavy coverage but it feels so light! I just recently got my sister into it and she completely loves it. 

Mac Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15. Ok, I admit it, I strayed from my Dior Forever. At first it's like.. WOW!! This shit is NIIIIIIIIIIICE! But then you realize why people talk crap on mac's foundation in the first place. Lots of tiny bumps start appearing out of nowhere.. it took a while for my skin to go back to normal. I'd only wear this on super special occasions because I'll admit, it's got a nice look to it if it's put on right. It does feel heavy though. 

Estee Lauder Double Wear SPF 10. Ok.. THIS was thick. I'd say thicker than the Studio Fix. It had nice coverage and the color was a good match but it made me oily after a few hrs.. which is not good. My skin gets oily very easily so it's probably better for somebody who has drier skin.

Urban Decay Surreal Skin MMU. THIS STUFF WAS LOOOOVE! Made my skin looked so dewy and flawless, I got lots of compliments. Only thing is.. this got oily. FAST. Faster than any other foundation I've ever tried. Color range isn't that great either.. but I loved it while it lasted.

MUFE HD Foundation. Great in pictures, hated it in real life. It just looked weird to me when I looked at myself in the mirror. I already did a review on this but if you haven't read it, you should, because I don't remember what I wrote. LOL. Good in pics though, I'll give it that much.

MUFE Mat Velvet +. I originally bought this in shae 35 before I bought the HD foundation above, but it ended up being too dark, so I bought 40, which was TOO LIGHT! So I had to put off using it until I lost my tan. After kicking aside the HD foundation and going back to Dior but kicking THAT aside too, I went back to this one and so far I'm loving it. I've been using this for a few days, no bumps, no complaints. Very good coverage. But I like the scent of Dior better, this smells... plastic-y. 

Oh, so I've been using this new concealer for a week now, and I think I might be kicking my Maybelline Rewind concealer the curb and saying adios to MAC studio fix NC30 as well. We'll see how it goes in the next week, just in case, before I make a recommendation.

Ok so even though I obviously have a lot of foundation to choose from, I wanted to find something that reminded me of the affect Urban Decay Surreal Skin MMU gave me. As it is really hot and humid here in LA, I wanted to go back to powders instead of liquid. I remember trying Bare Minerals back in the day but that junk broke out my sensitive skin like no other! 

I've emailed Vanessa from nessasarymakeup a few times about the foundation she wears in some of her pics because her skin looked SOOOOO good! The ones that fascinated me were the ones where she wore Everyday Minerals, Silk Naturals, and My Minerals Bath and Body. I've seen so many girls from ABB wearing EDM.. so might as well jump on the band wagon. SHOUT OUT TO ABB-ERS! LOL, I know you're reading this. I find that most bloggers are from ABB..... ANNNND... most started independently blogging when they got sick of Phil's rules and banning. Now.. I'm not saying anything about that, but just my one cent there. 

I gave in to temptation and ordered starter kits from both Silk Naturals and Everyday Minerals. I was GOING to get MMBB.. but I stopped myself because come on.. what am I going to do with all that foundation. If my orders end up being crap, it's no big deal, one was a free sample kit and the other was only 8 bucks I think.. something like that. I'll try Joppa or MMBB next if I don't like it but I WILL talk about these babies once they come knockin on mama's door. 

:) My halloween costume came in today! Along with my white fishnet stockings too. I'll post pics next time after Friday. Umm.. bf is going to be some kinda goth thing.. in like.. 6 inch boots or .. i don't know. Weirdo. 

Hope this wasn't too long!
