REVIEW ON L'OREAL TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION

As promised here is the L'OREAL True Match Foundation Review!

L'OREAL True Match in C3 - $15-17

I heard a lot of great things about this foundation and after my brother's girlfriend recommending me to buy this foundation I just had to get my hands on it.

I also wanted a "cheap" foundation to wear on semi-special occasions.

The great thing about this product is for starters is how well it blends on your skin.

It sits really well and honestly I didn't feel it when I was blending it across my whole face.

This is really important to me because I absolutely hate feeling foundation on my face.

I don't like the cakey feeling!

Some foundations that I tried in the past were too heavy and it felt like I was wearing a mask.

The consistency of L'OREAL true match isn't too watery or thick. 

I guess that's what makes it very easy to blend and how light it feels on my skin.

Another bonus of the product is that it has SPF in it! 

This is extremely important as it provides protection from UV rays!

(Ain't nobody got time for wrinkles)

The shape of the bottle is a decent size!

This foundation also sticks well to the face! 

When I rubbed my fingers or tissue on my face the product barely showed!

It's not as big as my other foundations so its travelling friendly!

Pretty much can stick it in any purse and apply it on the go!

 I just apply it all over my face and then blend it on a brush.

I just pour the foundation on the back of my hand and use my ring finger to apply it everywhere.

 I use the e.l.f Powder Brush to blend the foundation all over my face.

The only thing I didn't like about this product was the amount I was using.

It might have been I wasn't using enough but I found myself reapplying the foundation to some places it missed to cover up some red areas or acne.

This is the final face!(LOL)

As for my hair I chose to stick with a high curled pony tail!

Would I buy another bottle of this foundation?

Absolutely!!

If you guys don't know which foundation to try and it's your first time buying and you're on a budget I would definitely recommend this!

Hope you guys enjoyed this review!

Let me know what you guys think about L'OREAL True Match Foundation!

Sunshine Class
The weather was so amazing so I thought I'd whip out early spring outfits

Retro Black Sunglasses - Forever 21
Tan Spring Jacket - Forever 21
Black Cardigan - Forever 21
Gray Sleeveless Button Up - Salvation Army(Thrift store)
Black Skirt - Forever 21
Brown Sandal Heels - Forever 21
Reptile Strap Purse - H&M

LOL so I didn't know most of my outfit was Forever 21.
How ironic of me.

The colour I focused on in this outfit was pretty much: Brown, Black and Gray!

Enchanted Dreamer (LOOK OF THE DAY)

LOOK OF THE DAY!

Make Up

It was such a beautiful day I thought I'd go easy on the make up and focus more on hair!

My fantastic duo! 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewinder - Neutralizer

Mac Studio Finish Concealer - NW 25

This is where I apply the Maybelline Instant Age Rewinder!

I applied it under my eyes to minimize and brighten up the dark circles!

You always want a lighter concealer under your eyes.

I then run the concealer stick down the bridge of my nose to give it dimension.

(I wasn't blessed with a bridge nose so I guess this compensates LOL).

For the Mac Studio Finish Concealer I just apply it under my eye bags for a better cover.

 I also put it under my eyebrows, on the brow bone to make my eyebrows a little bit cleaner.

Finally I apply it on the redness of my face and pimples to hide them ;A;! 

I blend with my ring fingers because they have less pressure compared to your other fingers.

This is important because your eyes are sensitive and you can cause an increase in wrinkles!

Rimmel London Bronzer in Sun Light!

You guys can probably tell I love this bronzer as I hit pan!

I just apply this on the hollows of my cheeks to make my face slimmer ^_^

I also put it on both sides of the mark I drew down my nose from the Maybelline Concealer

because

1) It makes my nose look slimmer

2) Defines the "bridge" I created LOL.

Then I apply it to my forehead just a bit to create dimensions 

I use these brushes to apply bronzer

e.l.f Angle Blush Brush 

(Hollow of Cheeks and forehead)

e.l.f Contour Brush 

(Nose and Hollow of Cheeks)

Mac Sheer Pressed Powder - NC40

This is just to lock everything together and settle it neatly!

I love this press powder.

(Yeah I don't know how that dent got there to be honest ;A;)

e.l.f Powder Brush 

(all around my face)

e.l.f Flawless Concealer Brush 

(to reach places that are sensitive or hard to get[around nose, eyes, around lips])

Eye-Wear!

The black gel two end mascara is by e.l.f

(it used to be clear. I use it for setting my eyebrows)

Annabelle White Pencil Eyeliner

(I use this on the bottom waterline and I highlight the inner corners of my eyes)

And finally blushing!

This also happens to be my favourite blush since you know I hit pan!

It's Maybelline - Fit Me in Medium Coral.

I have to say this is probably the only product I like about the Fit Me collection.

The foundation from Fit Me broke me out completely!!

I would not recommend getting this and I rarely get pimples popping up.

(I'll add this to my foundation review)

Hair

Lazy Waves

I call this because the size of the hair I was curling on my wand was inconsistent.

It would be small or big.

Some would be curlier than others some wouldn't.

I just thought this hair gave a natural vibe to it and its super quick to do!

I didn't put any hairspray because I didn't really care if the waves lasted or not!

Hence, Lazy Waves!

Nails

Revlon 410 - Dreamer

The weather motivated me to paint my nails.

I chose this nice baby blue to compliment the weather.

I love how its so bright and that I only needed to use two coats to get the solid colour!

Revlon 220 - Enchanting

I painted my toes this colour.

I thought it worked well with the baby blue I painted on my nails.

I know my toes are hideous.

This is why I paint them to make them less disturbing LOL.

I just love how the purple isn't overwhelming nor underwhelming.

It's a great shade of purple

Hope you lovelies enjoyed this<3

The upcoming post is what I wore :)

Gluttony

People who are hungry beware!! After I came home from my class on Thursday my brother and his gf asked if I wanted to come and join them at Denny's. I didn't pass on the offer, given that I didn't eat all day.   Cinnamon Cream Cheese frosting Pancake and  Regular pancakes   Sunny Side up with Mashed Hash Brown, Sausage, Bacon and Ham. Bacon Sour Cream Cheese Fries   Bacon Burger Saute Mushroom with Bourbon Sauce on Cheddar Bun Whole Grain Toast    Scrambled Eggs with Mashed Hash Browns and Bacon Strawberry Banana Smoothie

As you  can tell we were pretty hungry.

Today or "yesterday"(Friday) I went to Fat Burger with one of my best friends, Leo.

   Chili Cheese Fries Buffalo Curly Fries  
After volunteer one of the managers brought out these cookies. They wanted to congratulate all the volunteer staff for conserving energy by turning off lights and unplugging electronics that are not being used. I thought it was pretty and it tasted super yummy! Save your energy! TURN IT OFF

Spiral (REVIEW ON BEN NYE - BANANA POWDER)

Yay! It's finally Thursday and I'm completely done my midterms!!!!!!! I honestly feel so free right now but a little bit choked because I should have studied earlier! Although I wished that, I managed to answer every question with a breeze! Hopefully I did okay.

I finally got around to do the review on Ben-Nye Banana Powder

After watching many reviews on YouTube and even from my cousin I just had to get it!

I wanted to see what the whole rave and fuss was about this product!

Let's start with its colour! 

It has a yellow tinge to it and hence the name Banana Powder.

Most of the gurus put this product under their eyes because of its yellow tinge.

Since the yellow undertone covers the dark circles.

They also use it as a highlighter as it brightens up the face!

What is it for?

Kim Kardashian uses it for highlighting as well!

The thing that I love about this product is because it acts as a translucent powder.

It blends really well on your skin and you can barely feel it!

I bought it for $21, the prices vary from store to store. 

Moving onto its shape

The shape of the product is very small and cute.

It's like a miniature baby powder bottle.

You can tell you have to pour it out like you would for baby powder!

I say its convenient to store in your make up bag.

You also can count on it not spilling, just make sure you twist it close!

Other Information?

Another addition to this product is that it has a 30 month expiry date.

I think that's pretty awesome for a make up product to have!

It lets you know when to throw it out and get a new one!

I personally like this product and I would buy another bottle when this one runs out

If you don't like the cakey feeling from your highlighter I suggest this one because

1) It's light

2) It blends really well on your skin

3) It sets well.

I use the e.l.f Small Tapered Brush to apply the product

EXCUSE MY FACE LOL

As you can see I am using it under my eyes and I also applied it on the bridge of my nose.

If you notice in the picture you can see it just a bit comparing to the redness/pinkish of my cheeks.

(I'm trying to find my camera's charger so please forgive the quality as they're iPhone quality).

Usually Thursdays are my days where I dress up. Meaning the face, the hair and of course the outfit! Let's start with my face!

Here is a before and after picture!

(Yes I know my left eyebrow is higher than my right that's because I over-pluck)

(It's slowly getting there though!)

Here's an overview on all the products I used on my face!

Ben Nye - Banana Powder

Mac Sheer Press Powder

Fit Me Blush in Coral

Rimmel London Bronzer in Sun Light

Colossal Cat Eye Mascara

Dior Mascara

Maybelline Precision Liquid Eyeliner

(Yes I use two mascaras because of their unique wands)

(Don't worry I'll film a video of my dress up face look)

Lets move to hair!

Headband Braid!

 This is pretty much the only things you need to create this look!
Really all you need to do is grab a nice thin or thick section behind your ear.
Braid it and use tiny elastics to secure it.
Then just bring it over your head!
You can place it however!
(I know its hard reading it so I'll definitely do another post with pictures and such)

Oh and hairspray is optional but I used it anyways.

Garnier Bamboo Hairspray to hold it together!

got2b Smoothing Hairspray to tame the fly aways and cowlicks

Let's move onto the OOTD
