The Weekend Edition 3/29

For those of you that asked about the green mask from my previous post, it is LUSH's mask of magnaminty

At first I wasn't going to but I've been getting some encouragement to start a jewelry blog ;) thanks to everyone for the LOVE. I present you...


The crown earrings are up for grabs, go check out the site :)

Guess what came in Friday? My prize from Jnie's ( My Beauty Imprint ) Giveaway contest.

Look how pretty the packaging is!

The prize is the MUFE HD primer :D she being the sweetie that she is also included Benefit's Dr.FeelGood.

The foundation trial...

this is #117

Fresh out of the bottle...

#117 is a good match for me, MUFE has a extensioni shade selection

Prior to makeup application with just the MUFE HD primer on

visible uneven skin tone and dark under eye area

Now with the foundation on...

It's not a heavy feeling foundation, applies evenly and the coverage is decent. Evens out skin tone but doesn't fully cover the under eye area. It leaves a nice finish, not too glowy but not too matte either.

After 6 hours...

It stayed put and didn't oxidize. keep in mind that a primer and setting powder was used.

Overall its a good foundtion, especially for photography since it doesn't contain any SPF. The push pump is handy and keeps it sanitary. There are many shades to choose from so you're likely to find one very close to your skin color. Overall a good foundation

Now some random weekend purchases

Sephora smudge brush #20

DiorAddict High Shine in Pink Protege

and the perfect nude lipstick

YSL #1 in Nude Beige


very nice packaging

it goes on like butter, excellent pigmentation, its rich, its creamy, and its luxurious. I love everything about it. It more of a pink nude. If you haven't tried this, go to sephora or a department store immediately! Touch it, rub it, swipe it on!

My random saturday night look

Using the pigment sample from MAC in Golden Olive
blush is MAC Love Rock, a bit too pink on me?
YSL lipstick in Nude Beige

Tried to do beach waves with my hair

ahhh, the weather is getting a tad warmer :)

XOXO, M

  5. Wow...you got really good prizes here, you must share your reviews with Benefit's Dr.FeelGood with us. It's funny you're wearing nude coz your lip is pigmented. I want my lip pigmented so bad. Nice waves, and I can't wait for the story about what happened to your eyes. Congrats with the new apartment~

  9. ! I got had a bad case of tearing after I wore my new circle lenses for about an hour, I took them off and I just couldn't stop tearing! I felt like I couldn't close and open my eyes normal (that's call blinking haha)

    I hope your eyes are feeling much better.

    I'm so excited you have your jewelry blog! AHH, did you check out the bead website yet?

    ReplyDelete
  10. congrats on signing for a new place :) and for the jewelry blog - I'll have to check that out later!

    ohhh no to your eyes! I've only worn my circle lenses a few times, but I know that they're not that great for eyes because the larger lens keeps the eye from getting enough oxygen...shoot, I have anough trouble letting my eyes breathe with my regular contacts! use whatever drops the doc gave you hun...hope it clears up soon!

    and uuuuugh to the swap trauma...stoopid people.
