Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Perfect Finish Powder Foundation

I ordered this powder foundation off from Sephora.com and its retail at $59.00Cad. The shade I have in this is Caramel 110. For reference I am B30 in Chanel Aqua Vitalumiere and 30 in Dior forever foundation.

The packaging of this foundation is just simply amazing and luxurious. Like other high end foundation, this compact comes with a velvet pouch that has it's logo right on top. The compact itself is in a rounded square shape with rose gold casing. The compact overall is quite thick, as there are 2 mirrors inside.

I have used this foundation for at least a week, so my opinion might change after I use it for longer. However, so far, I am liking it a lot. The coverage of this foundation offers a medium & build-able finish. The powder is not too loose compared to some of the compact foundation, where it gets really messy once you swipe it with a brush. Although there are still some fall out, but this is definitely not a major issue.

I think this foundation is great for those with combination to oily skin. For me, I have dry cheeks and a little bit of oily around the T-zone. This foundation did not accentuate any dry patches on the skin. This also doesn't make the face look too cakey. One thing I noticed however, is that it somewhat clogs the canvas around the nose, and you really need to apply lightly in order to avoid that chunky affect around that area. Other than that, I have no complaint about this foundation.

The lasting power is quite good as well. I apply this foundation in the morning at 7am and by 2pm in the afternoon, it still look great on the skin! Sometimes I don't even need to reapply and can still look great when I leave work (around 5:30pm). This is why I am very impressed on the longevity of the foundation. The sponge that comes with the compact is quite dense, so if you use it to apply the foundation, it'll offer a thicker/fuller coverage to the skin. I usually just use the brush to sheer it out, but if I feel like wanting extra coverage and not wanting any concealers on the skin, I would just use the sponge and tab on the area that I want to focus on.

Nowadays, I try to minimize the amount of makeup I use on a daily basis. And I think this foundation gives a nice fresh, satin finish to the skin without looking too matte/lifeless. So overall, I am happy with this purchase and I can't wait to test it out longer to see if my opinion will stay the same! So stay tune :D

Review: Lancome Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation Makeup

I have always been trying out new foundation powders over the years...And I gotta say, this is one of my favorite foundation powder. The shade I have is Matte Neutrale II (W).. The texture of this powder foundation is really finely milled. I would say the coverage of this foundation is medium to build-able. I wouldn't say this is a heavy duty full coverage powder, as it doesn't cover acne or marks. One of the reasons why I love this foundation a lot is the longevity that it gives. I usually apply my makeup around 7:30am in the morning...and I have a typical OL work schedule. So by the end of the day (I would say at least 8 hrs later), I can still see the foundation set really nicely on my skin. For alot of other foundation powders that I have try (ex. chanel)..this Lancome powder does not oxide as much on me. The color stay pretty much the same as I applied. But of course, it does wear off a bit at the end of the day. But I really love how long it stays o...

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses. The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products. He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend. He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look. Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations)...

My Shu-Uemura Art of Hair - Experience Journey

SILK BLOOM RESTORATIVE SHAMPOO FOR DAMAGED HAIR I love the bottle and smell of this baby. It's got a soft, subtle and feminine scent and it lingers on the hair after the wash. This shampoo is excellent for those with damaged hair, medium to thicker hair. I have noticed a difference to my hair after a few week of usage. For me, my hair has been damaged over the years of hair dyes. As much as I want to 'restore' the thickness of my hair, it has been going thinner as I get older :(.... I miss the days where I have full volume and thick hair... Anyway, back to this product. The shampoo has a rich lotion texture, once you start to massage the shampoo into the scalp, you'll start to feel it starting to make the hair softer. This shampoo does NOT strip the hair at all and it's safe for colored hair. I really recommend this to those with damaged/dry hair as it really does offer rich moisture to the hair while making it look healthy. I also noticed that my hair doesn...
