Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

Hi lovelies! So I'm suuuuper excited to tell you about a product i received complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

It is the StayMatte Liquid Mousse foundation.
So, I have tried so many foundations over the years the number 1 problem i always have is the color. I am so light with pink cheeks that even the lightest color is either too light or the second one up is like grey-ish looking. No one wants to look dirty when wearing makeup right?

I was so happy and surprised how well that this foundation matched my skin. I chose the 100 Ivory. It comes out thick but super fluffy and airy, if that makes sense.. you would have to try it to know what I'm talking about. It was really easy to blend, felt really light almost like it wasn't there to be honest. It dries to a smooth matte finish and the best part it isn't greasy or sticky after you apply it. To further test it i did not set it with any powder and...... it lasted all day and my face wasn't greasy at all!

Now another problem i have as stated above is the stickiness when it dries. I absolutely hate that! it ruins my powder, my face looks and feels nasty and i feel like my skin cant breathe. I was really impressed with how light this was compared to my 10 bottles of foundation i have in my makeup box, seriously.

I vined my StayMatte foundation routine i will insert it for you to see. See my StayMatte Vine Here
Sorry but it wouldn't let me insert it for some reason.

This was my box . Also i really loved the packaging the tube also has a matte finish and i really liked the purple cap super cute.
This foundation can be found at your local drug stores or Target , Walmart etc.I suggest you go out and try it, its honestly a really great product and at a great price.
One more thing that i almost forgot. When i was researching on what shade i should get i read reviews saying that this foundation dries orange or something. I had NO problem with this and I've been wearing it pretty much everyday. I'm thinking maybe they were not getting their colors right maybe?
If you have any questions comment below, I always respond and id love to hear what you think.

Have you tried this foundation yet? What foundation do you use?
or Share a story about your foundation funny,embarrassing or whatever :)

Thanks for reading and have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving !
XOXOXO,

L'OREAL PARIS BB CREAM REVIEW

 

Hello! I am very excited to share my thoughts with you on Loreals Magic BB cream! I received a full size bottle of Loreal BB Cream in light complimentary from shespeaks.com




About L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream: This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits. With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization



To apply, simply dot on and blend with fingertips. Self-adjusting beads will instantly transform and blend to your skin tone.
 Apply on your face ( my face was so red!)
blend blend blend! :)
 
This is how it looks once i blended it evenlyFinish with powder,blush or bronzer and you're finished!

I really didn't think i was going to like this bb cream. I have very red cheeks at times that most foundations cannot cover. I am very happy that this bb cream is so light weight feeling. It feels like I'm not wearing any makeup at all.
This is going to be really good for summer! I usually do no wear makeup in the summer because i hate the feeling of makeup on my face in the heat. It feels like a mask if that makes sense but this product does let your skin "breathe"

L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide. Click here to find out more

I want to thank L'oreal Paris and SheSpeaks for this opportunity. I really like this product and i have replaced all of my foundations. Now i would like to try the new CC cream that is out! :)

Have you used any bb creams? What type of foundation are you currently using?


xoxo,
phelicia

My First Beauty Swap

Hello everyone!!
Its been crazy over here the past few weeks so that is why i haven't blogged everyday like i planned.

So, last week i received my first beauty swap box from a friend i made here on blogger, her name is Maria. I had so much fun just emailing and texting her that at one point i forgot we were doing a beauty swap.

What is a beauty swap? It is when you and another blogger (or person) get to know each other and find out your likes and dislikes. You set a budget and shop for items they would like or want to try.

It was so funny when we were chatting we both have the same skin tone,skin problems and like the same colors and items. (well, she knows more about make up then me) So i actually gained more than beauty products with this swap, i also made a really cool friend too :)



Here is my box (we also recycled our beauty items we no longed used or never used but that's a separate blog)

 
This is how everything looked once i unloaded my box.
 
We set a budget of 50.00 but we both went over so i think we spent around 60-70 not including the shipping which was 20.00 for us both.
 
 
This is what i received in my box:
I love the urban decay set! i havent tried the elf one yet. 
 
All three of these are great! I really love the whipes they smell great adn the makeup remover works so good. 
 
 
 
 
First two lipsticks are elf brand and the last is nyc. Ill update the colors later when i get my lipsticks
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these bronzers!  The translucent powder is great also
 
The brushes are great!!
 
 
 
 
 
These colors look so fun i cant wait to try them
 
I also received some fun candies and snacks but i didn't take any pictures of them.
 
Here is a preview of some of the gifts i sent her but you will have to read her blog to see what she  received.
