Glowy Luminous Skin - the non greasy kind

Hey Chicas,

So this video has taken  be forever to do, and edit, my video editor has been tres touchy!!  

Regardless, this is the step by step process that I go through to get that perfect luminous looking skin, without using any specialized products, except for maybe a little moon glow (by Hard Candy), but I mean a teeny tiny amount of it.

So the video below is a lot slightly longer and has tiny reviews throughout, plus a little more of my personality shows through....let me know if you like it like that or the more professional way of the previous ones.

I personally like this look because it just gives your face a gorgeous luminous glow, almost like you're glowing from the inside, you know the way the young wiper snappers skin looks.


It's a nice neutral natural look, that just emphasis all the good aspects of your features without having to cover it all up!




You see the way the light hits the cheek bones!!  It makes your features more pronounced and totally highlights the high points of your face, in turn making you look more chiseled!

So checkout the video below for all the details on how to get this look!

Foundation - Dream Smooth Mousse

Hey Chicas!!!

So I haven't done too many reviews, but I don't like to review anything without testing it fully.  I have owned it for 3 months or so, and have been able to test it for longevity, coverage, etc. It has been through different  weather, skin issues and the like.

So lets get down to it

Pros:
  • good price/easily available
  • good coverage
  • buildable
  • super easy and fast to apply
  • blends like a dream!
  • I like the amount you get (some may find it small, but I don't)
  • great for travelling
  • self contained, with applicator
  • like sponge applicator
  • it could go either way - but it has a cooling affect on the skin, which I find reduces the redness
Cons:
  • needs to be set with powder (i set all foundations with powder though)
  • not too much shade selection
  • seems to separate on the skin (regardless of skin type, easily fixed with buffing)

Yeah so as you can see, the foundation is not perfect, but there are way more pros then cons, and if I think of any more I shall add them.

I would totally repurchase, as I saw in the video below if you only have 3-5 mins to apply foundation this is the best stuff for you.  It works well on combination skin (mine), and dehydrated skin (my mommy) so unless you have very unruly oil issues you'll be fine.

Check out the video for more a detailed review, as I seem to be better when I just chat it out.
