Review: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation N118

I recently asked for a sample of Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation in N118 because I wanted a high-end foundation, and when I tried Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation, I had a bad reaction to it.

I also mentioned this in my last post and said that I would post a review of what I thought and whether I would purchase it or not.

Well, I bought it!

I normally use Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation as my drugstore foundation, but there are times when I would find it too cakey for my taste.

When I tried the sample of Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation, it covered a lot and it was very light, which I liked very much. It really made my skin look flawless.

The packaging is very clean with a pump, which is very different from Rimmel. I like the pump because it easier to use and control the amount you prefer to use rather than an open bottle.

This product leaves me speechless, and I'm so happy I made the purchase, even though it was a bit pricey.

However, for $42, I feel it was worth it.

Not to mention Sephora also included a birthday present to me, which was surprisingly, more Make Up For Ever products.

The Sephora present includes a:

Make Up For Ever Mascara in Smoky Extravagant

and a

Make Up For Ever Lipstick in Rouge Artist Natural N9.

Normally, when I use mascara, I use waterproof mascara so it will last longer and won't smudge onto my face.

Smoky Extravagant is a long-lasting mascara and it does not clump at all.

I wore it all day today and my eyelashes still feel pretty soft and not clumpy.

The lipstick is a neutral rosy nude color, and it is very moisturizing.

Honestly, I would definitely splurge on these products again.

Welcome to the New Year!

Hey, hey, everyone. Welcome to 2014!

This is pretty new for me considering I'm using the Blogger app on my phone to make this post at 1:42 AM.

So there's no special format to this post.

So just to fill you in, I spent New Years with some of my awesome friends and my adorable boyfriend.

Haha. These guys...

Anyway, 4 days after four of us journeyed out to Vermont to go skiing at Stratton Mountain.

I must say, it was pretty awesome.

For New Years, I wore Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation and unfortunately found out that I'm allergic to it!

What a shame considering I've heard good things about this brand. After New Year's, I took the foundation off and my skin was dry, red, peeling, and in pain. I had to moisturize it and not wear foundation for 3-4 days. Luckily, that did the trick, and my skin was back to normal.

So that was my unfortunate experience with Tarte. I've seen some YouTubers use this foundation, and they had high praises for it, so it was basically just my skin having a bad reaction to it.

I went to Sephora yesterday and asked for advice about which foundation I could use. The one I currently use is Rimmel's Match Perfection Fiundation, which I really like, so I was looking for a foundation similar to it. The sales lady recommended Hourglass ($55), but since I did not want to spend over $50 on foundation, she recommended Make Up Forever. I was still cautious about it, so she gave me a free sample of it. I haven't used it yet, but when I do, I'll keep you updated!
