My MUFE Haul

i bought the Best of Make Up For Ever set :D it contains the following..
 

High Definition Primer. i love its consistency! :D it feels like you're putting moisturizer on, but it's non-greasy, and it goes on really light. unlike my TFS make-up base, this doesn't leave me with a white canvass, which is great!

High Definition Powder. reaaaaally smooth, i liiiike! :D my peach sake finishing powder from Skinfood is comparable, i would say. except that this is a wee bit finer, and i didn't end up with a white-ish face afterwards (or maybe i just dusted it off really light?) my face felt soo smooth, with a bit of sparkle ;)

Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil (in 0L Matte Black). although this did not glide on as smoothly as my MAC eyeliner, i actually prefer this one because it did not budge on me the entire day! i've always had problems putting on black eyeliner (that's why i tend to avoid it) because it tends to smear, but not this one! :D

Smoky Lash Mascara. definitely lengthens and adds volume. but i can't say it did a good job of holding my curl. and the wand is a bit fat for my taste, found it a bit difficult to work with :(

Sens'Eyes Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser. this works great! :D removing my eye-makeup was a breeze, and it didn't sting my eye at all! unlike my Loreal Elixir Make-up Remover, this did not leave my lids feeling greasy, and best of all, no temporary blindness!








the set costs a whopping P3500, but over-all i'm really happy with it! :D sometimes you just have to splurge, right? :)

i also bought liquid foundation. was originally planning on buying the HD variant, but Lindsay (my MUA during the BDJ Fashion Show) recommended the Mat Velvet + for me instead. it's suitable for oily skin (like me!), mattifies, and evens out skin tone.

i'm glad i listened to her, because i am loving this foundation! it was easy to apply and blend, and i looove its finish. :) 

so here i am sporting my new babies :)

i am in love with MUFE! :)

Ellana Samples

i finally got around to trying out the samples that i got from Ellana. i got 2 shades of foundation: Almond Latte (medium light with cool undertones) and Cinnamon Spiced Latte (medium with cool undertones), 1 blush: Patience (pale nude brown with sheer finish), and 1 finishing powder: Almond Coffee Cream (cool beige with sheer finish).

i tried out the medium foundation first since my face is so much whiter than the rest of my body. i ended up looking like i had just gone to the beach. i looked so tanned, haha! which was not at all that bad, it just wasn't exactly the look i was going for :P

when i put the blush on, i didn't think it would show up. since it was a brown shade and i was so brown-looking already. but hey, it did! i think it added to my fresh from the beach look, haha

tried out the medium light foundation the next day. i would say this matched my skintone.

this time around i used the blush for contouring (or at least attempted to haha), since i think it's better suited for that and i'm not that fond of brown blush shades. i used Happiness on my cheeks instead.

p.s i'm on the search for the next mineral foundation to try out. any recommendations? :)
