New Foundation~

 I just finished my first semester finals~~ ^.^ I can finally relaxxxxxx..... and blog about my lame life :]

As you guys may remember from the last post, the Paul & Joe foundation was a tad too dark and contained too much of a yellow undertone. I decided to invest in another foundation since a obtaining a decent complexion is more important than anything else. The first foundation that captivated me was the Lancome Teint Miracle. First of all, it comes in a glass tube another with a pump dispenser which is definitely more sanitary. The foundation is also right smack in the middle of a glowy and matte foundation. I just recently realized that my concept of choosing foundations was totally wrong. Since I have acne and am a combination skin type, I automatically assumed that I should definitely go for a matte foundation to mask the oiliness on my face. However the P&J matte foundation caked up my entire face, especially around my nose. :(

In case you guys are germ freaks or newbies in matching foundations, I learned a really useful way where you swatch and match the foundation on your wrist.  ^.^ 

So far I am loving this foundation and would HIGHLY recommend it.

Ivoire 2C

I bought it for $37 at Sephora.

I went to the Premium Outlets in Southern California where I found the L'Occitane outlet. This product was the only one that appealed to me since I'm not too fond about most of their items' scents. hahaha I think this was around $24. Since my mom paid for it, I forgot the actual price. sorry~

Hawaiian Orchid, Barefoot in Barcelona

These are my first OPI nail polishes, and I am truly amazing with the texture. In the past years, I had never really been a nail polish person, and even if I was, I would only get drugstore or one dollar polishes. I know that OPI is probably not as good as those high-brands like Chanel. But hey, these are definitely WAY better than most drugstore ones, I think.

This color (Barefoot in Barcelona) is my favorite. The color on my pinky is actually the Sephora by OPI in Call Your Mother.

 

This was a Christmas gift from my friend. She bought me the color FEZ, however I haven't used it yet. It always takes me some time to use a newly acquired item.

I have been currently obsessing over neutral colors.

 I ran out of my Garnier Skin Renew cream which worked fabulously on my face. I decided to venture out into other drugstore creams, and came across this. The packaging is just 'meh' nothing special.

If you compare the texture of this to the Garnier, this is definitely has a more thick consistently but more silky texture. I find that this takes a bit longer to be absorbed into my face, but otherwise the effects are pretty much the same.

My colony of acne fighting products. By the way, the Neutrogena toner wreaks of the smell of alcohol. I would most likely not re-purchase the toner again.
