REVIEWS!
so i've been trying everything to help my skin. it's gotten worse at an incredible rate.
i went to sephora the other day to try out some new skincare and makeup.
i brought home samples to try before dropping a whole bunch of money. here are my current problems.
- my skin is dry
- my makeup creases under my eyes and in my smile lines
- i have acne scars and hyper-pigmentation
- i have acne bumps
- my face gets shiny throughout the day
- my current makeup oxidizes and gets darker throughout the day
sample reviews:
- makeupforever velvet mattifying liquid foundation:
- feels good going on. a dry, almost powdery feel.
- only has medium coverage.
- doesn't fully soak into skin.
- oxidizes and gets darker throughout the day
- NOT for me.
- clarins lotus face treatment oil:
- i've been putting this on as a moisturizer at night after my epiduo gel.
- it only takes one drop warmed between your palms and pat on your face.
- pricey, but seems worth it.
- overall i enjoy it. might stick to coconut oil to save money.
- murad balancing moisturizer:
- smells like spf.
- thick and hard to spread.
- no huge differences in my skin coloration.
- makes me look greasy throughout the day.
- NOT for me.
still on the lookout for the perfect skincare and foundation routines. let me know if you have any suggestions!
nighty night and happy tax-free weekend!
XOXO.
