Makeup Forever Brow Gel & Other Buys

Hi lovelies! Happy Wednesday! 

Last week, I was invited to a Makeup Forever event and was beyond thrilled! 

I love the brand, and i love their products, especially their skin & body foundation. I realized i haven't properly reviewed that so I will do so in the next few posts. 

What I was intrigued about was their much loved and cult favorite, Aqua Brow brow gel. It stood out to me the entire night, and i was really excited to play around with the shades (they have so many!) and test out the formula. 

Makeup Forever Smoky Extravagant Mascara

One of the most loved high end mascaras on the market, how does this actually compare to other high end brands and drugstore brands?

Latest Foundation Haul

Hello friends! I've been particularly busy this past week. I'm looking forward to more postings in the next week because I'll be free in the evenings now. Upcoming posts will include reviews of foundations, FOTD's with products I've been liking a lot lately, a drink that helps with acne! Yes, your read right: acne!

But for now, I'll leave you with the newest additions to my foundation hoarding collection.

MUFE F&B Foundation - I've been wanting this for the looongest time. 

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - I've been seeing this on so many blogs lately. It really is a fantastic foundation. The formula very similar to the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. And by very similar, I mean it's literally identical. The texture, the drying time, everything!

Enjoy your weekend, ladies! Any fun plans? Do share!

I will be heading out of town this weekend to attend my brother's graduation. He is officially an engineer now! :)

Smokey Taupe with the Naked 2 Palette

Hello friends! Hope you're having a good week so far. Mine has been quite good thus far. I'm forever looking forward to the weekends though ;)

On Sunday I went out with a friend for lunch and decided on trying every new thing I recently got, including the Naked 2! I'm still being experimental with the color combinations because they are significantly cooler than the first one. But I love it all the same, maybe even a tad bit more at the moment!

I unfortunately did not have my regular camera with me so my iphone will have to suffice.

I appreciate all your comments in my last post about hair! I haven't used any hot tools on my hair for about a month now and the shea butter cream has been a miracle product for me. I'm going to look into the shampoos/conditioners that were recommended :) Looks like I'll be doing a hair haul very soon, lol.

I used Busted and Verve for my eyelids and a little bit of Snakebite on my lower lash line to set the eyeliner. 

I also used MAC Blacktrack to line my eyes, no mascara because it looked very dramatic to me already o_o 

Closeup of the eyeshadow

For my foundation, I used Makeup Forever HD Foundation in shade 115. It is a beautiful foundation that is light reflective and luminous. It's also surprising very light and the foundation intensity is under your absolute control. 

I used Benefit Hervana as a blusher and highlighter. It's a beautiful blush, really multidimensional and versatile! I adore the spring-like colors and the zany swirls although not a huge fan of the packaging. I prefer a compact.

For my lips, I used Benefit's Benetint lip stain. I LOVE IT! Words can't even express it. It's very long lasting and has a very distinctive rosy color. 

That concludes my look for the weekend. I'm continuously experimenting with colors and combinations. I suppose the fun is in the experimentation ;) 

Smokey taupes - yay or nay? :)
