Foundation + Highlight

FOTD! -- sort of. Turned into more of a foundation review, hahaha.

Siiiince I think we all realized that the Castledew foundation was too light for me.. I decided to try to use my Revlon Colorstay foundation instead.

The color I have is 250 Fresh Beige.. which I think is a TAD too light and definitely a little too pink, especially when compared against the Castledew foundation.

You can definitely see it here.. my body looks yellow and my face looks pink. It's not TOOOOO bad though.. but I would definitely go buy a new shade.

So, you say, just buy a different shade and all will be well! Wellllll.. not quite.

- I don't really like how it feels on my face (I think my skin has improved much and I should get a lighter feeling foundation.. say MAC face+body?)

- It can LOOK cakey--but that may also have been the over application of powder (since I don't normally use foundation, my normal application was just too much).

- There's a.. sort of sweet scent that's bothering me right now. I hope it goes away.

On top of that all.. it.. just looks completely terrible in flash photography.

Note.. my face.. looks about the same shade as my boyfriend. And he is whiiiiite.. LOL.

Another terrible example.. I look like I'm drunk.. or buzzed at least. But I swear to you, I'm not.

Anyway,

I'm thinking of chucking this bottle away, unless someone ELSE has used Revlon Colorstay forcombo/oily in shade 250 Fresh Beige.. and it worked for them.. I will SEND this foundation to you as long as you pay postage! Just send me an email or leave a comment.

Onto happier news..

As requested by Chommie, here's my face with the Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc (highlight). I used the pink/peach/white mixed together.

WITHOUT.. just foundation/powder (see? a littttle powdery.. but not too bad.. and it looks like it matches my face here.. but it doesn't T^T sniff)

WITH.. sorry for the unruly eyebrows :P and I applied a little messily today, since I used a different brush than usual. Buuuut.. you get the point :)

HTH. Off to dinner we go! It's the bf's dinner today, he turns 22.

NEW HAIR COLOR!


still fairly dark but at least the color is more even.

some gifts from EKI~ neechan! ;) she gave me samples of yellow ocher 03 and natural ocher 02 from edit: DHC!! hahahaa.. SO i finally got around to trying them! ;P

can you see a difference? i can't.. hahahaa. thus the o__O expression. i put yellow ocher 03 on the side w/ the bangs and natural ocher 02 on the other side. i seriously spent 10 min trying to see a difference. LOL -___- i told the bf that i put different makeup on the halves of my face and he said "LIAR!". hahahahaa.

though i finally decided that yellow ocher matched me best, since i got a SLIGHTTTT white cast from the natural ocher. i'm talking about SOOO slight that i might be just making it up just so i can "decide" on which one's better.. hahahaa.

any foundie experts out there agree? disagree?

recognize these? oh yeaaaaa. HAWT! 

GO BUY FROM HER!! she has new headband styles up. if they look good on me they'll look good on anyone ;) trust me, i have a huge melon head and it fits reaaaaally comfortably. 

this wasn't her WHOLE package but i have yet to find those pics.. haaha. so i figured pics of her goodies + foundation samples would work :D

thank you loooveeeee! now for me to get a full sized foundie hahaha :)

hehee. he has the cutest smile :) when he smiles foreaaaaal that is.. and he never has a real smile for the camera. or when he does, i look weird. what the heck? :(
