Hey everyone! 

Today I have a review of the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint in Beige Naturel. I've been looking for something lightweight to wear, that manages my oily skin, while also providing a bit of coverage. I typically wear the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation but I wanted something that wasn't as heavy. I got the Matte Moisture Tint at Generation Beauty and wanted to test out if it lived up to my needs.

Check out the review below!

Hey everyone! 

Today I have a review on the PÜR Hydrafluid Water Serum Foundation. This is recent addition to the PÜR foundation line, contrasting to the matte foundation trend by being a serum foundation with an emphasis on water and a dewy, medium coverage finish.

REVIEW: Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup

Press Sample

I remember being introduced to the concept of Airbrush makeup when I went to The Makeup Show LA. All these professionals were touting airbrush makeup as an alternative to heavy or cakey foundation, especially in HD or 4k conditions. I used to think airbrush makeup was strictly for professionals until I heard of Luminess Air from my fellow Youtubers and Bloggers.

Luminess Air is an airbrush makeup brand for consumers and professionals alike but is especially consumer-friendly. I received the Legend System with a Black and Pink Compressor and Silver Airbrush Stylus. The system comes with two shades of Foundation, a Primer, a Blush, and a Highlighter. You can mix the foundation as needed to get a color that will match your face!

I've had a few weeks now to try the system + airbrush makeup out and I wanted to share my thoughts on it and airbrush makeup as a whole.

Meow Cosmetics Foundation

My skin is fairly pore obvious when it comes to my cheeks and I've having a lot of trouble lately when wearing foundation because liquid and creams would always just sink into my pores and look awful.

I recently ordered some Meow Cosmetics foundation and overall I have lots of positives and a negatives about it.

Pros: They offer 3 different coverage levels, and many many different kinds of shade levels and undertones. I love how it looks on my skin

Con: I am kind of eh about what they consider their heaviest coverage. I ordered 10 samples, all in the heaviest coverage, Flawless Feline.

The samples come in baggies like this, for one dollar containing 1/4 tsp of foundation.

From the site- "Flawless Feline provides complete coverage with no stiff, chalky feeling". The no stiff, chalky feeling stands fairly true but what, complete coverage?

I do really like the foundation. but not necessarily the claim that I can get complete coverage when I have to layer it on, especially with the other two formulas being called layerable versus this just being called "heavy coverage" By the way, I apply with a buffer type brush which was recommended to me on the site for getting heavier coverage.

I found my match and while it isn't quite my perfect heavenly Foundation, I honestly like it enough to keep using it and once my sample runs out, I'll definitely repurchase.

(Frisky, Naughty and Fierce describe how dark it is) Check on the Meow Cosmetics website and Temptalia's Foundation Matrix (a godsend with foundation matching) to find your match!

Indie Makeup Store Haul+Birthday Dinner

Just to warn you, this is photo-heavy!

I got paid on Wednesday plus got some birthday money so I thought I'd just spend a bit of it on something nice for myself. My birthday was pretty nice and simple, I got a free Daphnes Greek Cafe plate and soda and got my boyfriend lunch because he happened to be working for most of the day. I'm planning on getting a free Cold Stone's ice cream creation soon

I went shopping with my sister but didn't end up getting anything. I also went out to eat Korean BBQ and became too full to eat the ice cream cake we had gotten, haha. Pictures of my dinner at the end :)

Woo Woo Haulage. I had gotten one of the Graftobian foundations a week ago and wanted to include the new one I got. I also got a Kryolan eyeshadow in TK2 in addition to a free bottle of silicon to mix with my foundation to make it a bit lighter. The metal plate at the end is just an Essence Stampy plate turned upside down to act as a palette for me to mix my foundation in.

I paid 12 bucks for each foundation and guess how much is in that wee pot? .5 oz! If you actually look at some of the labels of higher end brands, you'll notice that they usually contain less than .5 oz of product, ex. Benefit's Some Kind of Gorgeous has only .35 oz, ditto for MAC's Studio Tech.

This color looks to be very similar to MAC's Newly Minted which was discontinued ages ago. It has such a nice texture for a matte, I've got a look featuring it coming up soon :)

By the way, the pans are about the size of MakeUpForever's eyeshadows and contain 3.5 grams. Bombdiggity because it means I paid 10 bucks for an eyeshadow that is 2 1/2 times the size(MAC's being 1.5 grams)
Desert Sand on the left, Temptress on the right. You can see that Desert Sand is looking a bit more peachy than Temptress which is a bit more yellow/neutral toned.

My cheeks are lighter than my forehead which is not even the same color as my neck so I've been mixing Temptress and Desert Sand together. Even with that, my face does look a bit lighter than my neck but if I go any darker, I turn super orange so I'll just live with it. I really do love this foundation, my face looks amazingly poreless it's kind of shocking.

Korean BBQ pictures ahead! This is the end of the beauty related business :)

With Korean BBQ, you have a big grill installed into the center of the table and it has a grill plate that you cook the food on. There's chicken in the back, spicy pork and pork belly on the grill. There's also Gyeran jjim served with it, which is the eggy casserole thing to the left. Deliciousss

Along with this, you get several side dishes that you eat along with the K BBQ. Starting from the left and going clockward in, there's steamed/boiled(?) broccoli with hot sauce, cucumber kim chi, cellophane noodles with something, bean sprouts, potato salad, beans and then kim chi radishes.

The best part was the ice cream that you could self serve at the end. Fabulous
