Hello lovely readers! So I'm finally moved out for my post grad! wooh! Unfortunate news? I won't have Internet until this Saturday. I'm actually at a Starbucks right now sipping away at a vanilla bean frapp as I write this. I've been filming tons of awesome videos this week so I'm so excited to get them up and available to you guys! We'll be kicking off the second video of my 'dangerous chemicals in make up' series and I also have a fun and different series that I'll also be kicking off!
I'm also really proud of myself. I would certainly define myself as a make up snob. I know, it's terrible, but at least I can admit it. I tend to stray away from drugstore make up because I had really bad experiences with it back in high school. However, I went shopping with my awesome friend/sorority sister Taylor the other day and she inspired me to be brave and pick up the Covergirl Clean Whipped Creme Foundation. You can check out her review of this foundation by clicking here.
I was pleasantly surprised by this foundation. I was actually getting frustrated with my Cover FX foundation and my Stila stay all day foundation is WAY too dark now. This Covergirl foundation certainly brightened up my day. It covers everything - even my acne scars! But it doesn't look cakey, it melts right in with my skin leaving a natural finish. But it also keeps my face matte. I was at a club the other night with my friends for several hours (this club was super sweaty) and my make up still looked flawless by the time I got home. I wouldn't suggest it for overly oily skin - I think it would work best with combination skin as it does have hydrating properties. But this foundation is certainly a win - I will definitely be buying it again. The only thing that breaks my heart is that there's PEG and parabens in it (but so many high end brands have PEG and parabens in it too).
I will get into what PEG and parabens etc do to you skin in a later post, but for now, I hope you have a great day, and don't forget to put a bow on :)
