Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Perfect Finish Powder Foundation

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

Pandora Haul!!!

If you haven't heard of the Pandora 2013 March promotion, then start researching on it! The promotion for this Spring season is to spend over $150CAD and receive a free silver bracelet (value $75). To be completely honest, I was never really a fan of Pandora bracelets. I have always thought their design are dupe-able, same silver quality as any that you can find at a typical jewellery boutique.  But sometimes, peer pressure get to you...(this sounds like an excuse LOL). And the only reason why I caved in to the bandwagon is that I want to own a bracelet, that I can collect special charms that can reflect some memorable time in my life.  Or something that I can find special/relevant to me. One thing people need to keep in mind is that, the pictures in the Pandora website is a bit misleading. The photos of each charms look much bigger and shinier, but in real life, they are much smaller. Another thing to remember is that, the silver do oxidize after y...

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...
