My 3 favorite foundations: From full to light coverage

Hey there dollies!

I don't know if this could count as a part of the monthly favorites but, I was kinda looking forward to share with you the 3 foundations I've been loving lately. I've been using them for a while now and what I like about them is I can reach for them depending on the finish and coverage I want.
I'll show you what I use when I need a full coverage, a lighter one and a very light coverage with a nice, natural glow. Cuz yeah, I'm into that dewy look.

We'll talk about a foundation, a BB Cream and a CC Cream...Here we go!!

WARNING: Sorry in advance for the bad looking pictures, I pretty much took them when I was doing my makeup in the morning so, you'll see bad hair and all that. Light can also change cuz I took them on different days at different hours. My hair looks too dark! LOL

On those days when I need a full coverage I always go for the e.l.f Flawless Finish Foundation with SPF 15. I'm using the shade "Porcelain" (83111).
This is a very lightweight foundation that lasts the whole day. Originally, it says it'll give you a matte finish but, it gives you more of  a dewy look without feeling sticky or thick on the skin. I wouldn't recommend it if you have oily skin cuz I'm sure it'll look a bit shiny at the end of the day but other than that, I think it is a great foundation. Price is also very affordable.
I gave one to my mom as well and she loved it!

Left is no makeup face and Right is my face after applying the foundation (and some concealer)

For a medium coverage I go for the Killing Me Zombie BB Cream with SPF+ PA+++. It claims to have 3 functions: Whitening, UV-block and Wrinkle Care.
At first I only got it because of the whole Zombie concept and honestly, I didn't like it but, as I used it a little more, it grew on me.
The formula is a little thicker than the e.l.f. one and the color is has a slight gray tone to it but, as it sets on the skin, it matches my skin tone. It doesn't have a matte finish, I'd say it gives you a dewy look as well.
Durability is great and even tho the formula is not lightweight, it doesn't feel thick on the skin. The only thing I don't love about it is that it feels a little sticky.
I love BB Creams and I'd say this is not my ultimate favorite but, it is still a good product.

same here, left no makeup face and right, face after the bb cream.
As you can see, the color is a little lighter than the e.l.f one

And, for those days when I'm having a good-looking skin and I can use something with a light coverage, I reach for the y.e.t Trick Play CC Coushion with SPF50+/PA+++. It's supposed to have a whitening and ant-wrinkle effects. The one I have is on the shade "21 Milky Beige". This is also my first time trying cushion foundations and a CC Cream so yeah, I was very excited! I was actually thinking about making a separate post about it but, I'll include everything here.
What I noticed from this brand is that they have a good variety of colors. Some were more yellow based, others more tanned and lighter shades (like the one I got).
First of all, the packaging is really nice (kinda big tho). It looks all clean in white, orange and silver. It comes with a nice sponge thingy and a lid to separate the sponge from the product. The color looks slightly darker on the cushion but once it's applied on the skin it looks lighter. Then again, this one gives you a healthy, dewy look so, I don't think it'd work for oily skin.
Durability is good, but I don't know if there are better ones out there considering this s my first CC cushion.
I usually apply some concealer before using this one to cover my red spots. I love how it makes my skin look as if it had a natural glow.
It has a very soft flower scent to it but is not something I can't deal with.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the sponge. I usually use my beauty blender after applying the product with the sponge. It helps me to blend it a lot better.

Left no makeup. Right CC Cushion

Also, when I want to have a matte finish, I use the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in "Sandstorm" (004). I've been using it for years and I still love it!

As for concealer I've been loving the TonyMoly Cover Pot Concealer Face Mix in 01 "Natural Beige". This one is a little thick but has a great coverage. (And I think it is really cute!)

This is it for now, I hope some of you find this helpful in a way, this could change as I keep trying products but these are the faves at the moment.
Let me know if you have some faves I could try!

Beauty Haul: Avon, Flormar and Korean face masks

Hello sweeties!

These past few weeks I had the impulse to buy makeup and skin care stuff again, whithout noticing, I managed to have enough to make a little Haul for you!
I haven't had the time to really just go shopping and but things so, I've been ordering some stuff...I'm still in the process of trying and testing so, more info to come when I do that.

Let's take a look!

~ AvonUltra Luxury Eye Liner: in Black. Out of all the eye liners I've used so far this it the one to keeps me away from looking like a raccoon by the end of the day. I like the twist thingy version of it but, oh well. It'll be next time.

~ Avon Crystal Nailwear Pro +: In the color Silver Crystals. I just looooove how this color looks! you know I can always fall for glitter nail polishes and this one wasn't an exception. I really can't wait to use this baby! Many colors from this collection are super pretty! I need more! #Bwahaha

~ Flormar Matte Nail Enamel:: I showed you guys some of the nail polishes I got shom this Turkish brand. The colors are definitely beautiful. This matte collection is also great! I like matte polishes but I only got one to see how good this one was. (I've had bad experiences with matte polishes before) This one is called Burgundy in Matte and it's a blood-type kinda red that I think would be perfect for Halloween season.

~ Flormar SuperShine lipstck: in Summer in Paris (513). Yup, I'm buying more corals...hehe. I've used this one a couple of times now, it is not super long lasting and the color is a little pearl-ish. I did not expected that. It is still really pretty tho. The one thing I don't like is that it makes my dry lips look well...dry! Even if I apply some lipbalm before the color.

~ Korean facemask from G&S Cosmetics and Y.E.T: I've used the Y.E.T ones before but I'm extra excited about the animal mask and the black mask. I really wanted to try black masks for a while now. Animal masks are always fun!

~ Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser: which also works as a makeup remover. This is one great, great product but I'll get to it in a separate post. Maybe an updated cleansing routine?

And this is it for this beauty haul! Than again, sorry for being so absent in here but the blogging muse still refuses to go back to work. #LazyAsTheMaster~~~ hohoho

Weekend Haul!

Hello my darlings!
Here I come with a random Haul from the weekend I spent in my hometown. During that weekend they stores had a "Black Friday" kind of thing, where you could find good discounts in almost every store.
We spent the weekend with my family and you know, girls reunited + discounts → some serious shopping! Hehe

At first I only wanted to buy at stores I didn't had here where I live but, when I thought about missing the discount weekend I decided to go for it. Not all of the stuff I bought had a discount tho!!
Anyways, let's begin!!
NOTE: Sorry for the wrinkled clothig! Just came back from a trip and back to work! Didn't had time to fix them a little. Hehe.
Clothes:

♥ H&M white flowy shirt with buttons on the back. What I liked the most about this blouse was the print on it. It has a pegasus, lions and rabbits. It is really comfortable and I can wear it almost everywhere!

♥ H&M gray bag. This one was a gift from the Omma! I knew I wanted to buy a bag but I just wasn't sure what type of bag. I think the color goes well with everything, it has a good size and somehow it doesn't look too formal but, not too childish.

♥ H&M pink heart keychain. I bought this one especially for the bag! Hehe. I wanted to give it that girly extra something! You know me...

♥ Forever21 black skinny jeans. Can't go wrong with black jeans.

♥ Forever21 yellow-ish cat sweatshirt. I love my cat Michee! And I fell for this sweatshirt as soon as I saw it! I wasn't too sure about the color tho, the other one was gray with black but I have too many
grey sweats so, yeah.

♥ Zara The Gourmand Collection "Cherry Candy". This is my first time buying perfumesfrom Zara, I pretty much payed attention to them because my aunt suggested me to check them out and guess what...I liked this one so much that ended up buying it! What I liked the most is that the package came with a normal size bottle and a mini roll-on one for a greaaaat price! And the smell is also great. I love sweet scents and this one smells like vanilla in a decent and nice way.

♥ Pull&Bear Sushi t-shirt. I'm obsessed with stuff with Japanese food on it! I have ramyon socks, sushi sock and now...a sushi shirt! It is adorable!

♥ Look Kool ripped jeans. I wanted ripped jeans for so long now and I finally found ones I reaaaally like!

♥ Y.E.T (Yes! Enjoy Time) Don't Worry Mask Sheet. Once I thought my shopping would be over we went to Sally and I didn't expect to find...korean facemask sheets!! My obsession! I've never used this brand before so I can't wait to try them! I also think they are absolutely adorbs! (more info once I try them!) Bought a couple of each.

♥ Lassie'el Night Miracle Avocado lifting face mask. My sister told me about this one, The packaging is kinda new but it looks so cute! Looking forward to use it. (more info once I try it!)

♥ Lastly, I bought some traditional sweets for my friends and...a box of Pocky for myself...hoho (not all of the sweets are in the pic. ^^)

And...that is it! Between that, 2X1 cupcakes and milkshakes, we spent a very busy but productive shopping weekend

If I could put together everything the 5 of us bought, it would be a HUGE collective haul.
