Friday Favorites

So I have been in the lookout for a good powder foundation that won't be caked, has good oily control, and doesn't cling to dry patches.

I tried Make Up Forever's Demimatte on the recommendation from a Sephora employee. And although yes it looks amazing at the first application I find myself needing to blot before lunch and after leaving work. So that didn't works so well. 

Next I went back and forth in trying the Infallable powder foundation since the liquid form was so good to me. Unfortunately I couldn't find a color that matched me well. ( I should have known better I have the same problem with the liquid one but at least with that one I could mix it with other foundations already in my collection.)

I ended up rebuying my Maybelline dream Wonder Powder. I got a shade up since I thought my last powder was a hair light but this next color is a bit orange. Or it may be just me. Because I also placed an order for BH Cosmetic powders. I got #230 and #235, I searched both in my hand and I know that #230 leans slightly yellow but in my face it looks orange? At least in certain lighting. But anyway those powders (only got them $5 each because of a sale) are totally worth it!! I was worried about testing them out today cause I was going to be doing some light lifting and walking for walk but I figured what the heck. And OMG I only had to blot seven hours into wear AFTER the lifting and walking around outside for two hours. The shade selection isn't that great only 7 shades but if you can find your color I would say go for it!! (Get it here: http://www.bhcosmetics.com/products/bh-studio-pro-matte-finish-pressed-powder)

P.s sorry for the lack of pictures or links I am traveling a lot this weekend (look out for a journal in this weekend's adventures to make up for having a lazy noneventful weekend last week).

Favorites Friday

Hi everyone! Thought I would start this weekly post on my blog with weekly favorites.
Since I my skin can change from week to week due to allergies I never wear the same foundation consistently for more than two weeks. I don't wear makeup consistently every week so if there is ever a week I feel like I am repeating products I'll just change it up to just new favorites I have discovered or have random favorites! :)

This week although it warmed up slightly in the middle of the week and it has been sunny my face lost it's natural tan and it has been feeling dry so I wasn't loving my summer foundation: L'oreal Infallible. Instead this week I went back to TheBalm's TimeBalm which I am in the shade: Medium.
I really like putting a light layer in the center of my face and use it to mostly cover up my redness.
The primer I have been using has been the NYX Angel Veil because it is a primer that doesn't emphasize my dryness and doesn't make me oily throughout the day in my T-zone. I have been loving and having time to do my brows so this week I have been using Milani Stay Put Brow Color.

Lips:  I have used this week have been Sephora's Cream Lip Stain in Marvelous Mauve and the Elf Matte Lipsticks, which I found at Target in a set for an awesome price! (Which you can find here)

Random Thoughts:

• I ended work early today thinking I was going to come home, eat, shower, upload this post, and do my homework assignments. So far I have only done two of these... any guesses of which two?
