Sicksicksicksicksick!
I’m so over feeling/being sick. The migraines lead to nausea which leads to my head in the toilet. Not fun times. Luckily, I have great coworkers that rather have me go home to feel better (which I’m getting there, thank God) then die at work.
Because I’m at home, I had the chance to edit my shopping haul pictures and post them!
*Metropark military routed shoulder jacket & Hellz Bellz tank.
*Metropark pleather & knit hoody jacket.
*MAC blush in “warm soul”, HD Professional foundation, Sephora “IT” foundation brush, & Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer.
Missing: Chloé perfume. (Hey, I can cross that off my wish/check list!)
PRODUCT REVIEW:
*HD Professional Foundation 4.5/5 STARS!
My Problem: I have very sensitive skin. If I get a pimple I don’t have to play with it to scar, it automatically scars or leaves darkening spots from when it disappeared. I also have sun spots, so uneven skin color and redness on my cheeks.
Result: Like many foundations it’s medium to full coverage. With the problems that I have, I need the full coverage to cover the redness. I tested it for 2 days and it stays on without touching up. It doesn’t give you an oily look after wearing it for hours and feels light on your skin. It evens skin tones and was worth the $40 that I paid for.
What you might want: A good loose powder to back it up. I’m currently using (what I have been using for years) MAC blot powder. I think if i could find a better powder, it would complete the foundation.
*Sephora “IT” foundation brush 4/5 STARS!
Of course I spent $30 on a new foundation brush to go with my new foundation 
I was using a MAC foundation brush and the Sephora brush is giving the MAC brush a run for its money. The Sephora brush has taklon (sp?) brissels and it applies the foundation out smoothly and evenly. The aluminum handle makes it light-weight and did I mention that the handle is hot pink? I think I need the whole “IT” line
*Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer 5/5 STARS!
My Problem: My eye shadow fades and sometimes clumps on my eyelid crease. My MAC Fluidline bleeds and smears after 3 hours.
Results: Your eyeshadow is bolder in color and it keeps eye makeup in place! It doesn’t smear after 3 hours like how it usually does. It keeps your eye makeup and even brow makeup looking fresh for hours! Usually after a few hours, my powder filled brows begin to start fading, but with this primer, it stays put!
Sorry to hear that you’re sick. But great haul. I always have problems with eye shadow smearing and disappearing at the crease. I’ll have to try UD’s primer if you’ve given it such high ratings.
Hey rath! I really put it to the test yesterday. I worked about 9 hours and no aircon for the last 3 hours sweating bullets and it was still intact with no touch ups!
Had to get the primer. And my eye makeup is staying put! Loves it. I splurge too much on MAC and stuff at Sephora.. >_<
I’ve heard many good things about the HD foundation too but have yet to try it. I’m going to try use up most of mine first since I rarely wear foundation nowadays.
I LOVE UDPP. It’s been one of my HG products for years and have failed to disappoint!
You’re lucky that you don’t have to wear foundation all too much. That must mean that you have a really great complexion.
You should definitely try it. It’s really light. They have this amazing translucent powder too. It’s silky smooth!
I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH! I’m glad you’re trying it out as well. I want to try the shimmery one too. I usually spend all my money at MAC. I’m learning to branch out and try different products.
