So I got my Blusche samples in! Actually since last week but didn't get a chance to play around with them because my older son had a medical procedure done and we were out of town for a couple of days. But now that I'm back I got to do some testing! I only ordered 3 foundation samples. Mocha Java, Caramel Macchiato, and Cafe Americano. All are in Full Coverage and with Kaolin. Caramel Machiato might be a tad dark for me but not by much. Cafe Americano is pretty much there just didn't have that touch of yellow that I need. Mocha Java worked great but wasn't sure if it had just a little too much yellow? Well even though this is their "Full Coverage" formula. I would honestly have to say that it's more of a med to full. Atleast on me because I have problem skin. But it's definitely buildable! So far I would have to say that it's "Pretty Good". I aslo got a freebie blush in "Raisin". Haven't tried it yet though. Here I am wearing Mocha Java. My camera doesn't always take the most natural photos! Ugh! I kinda show up looking a lot lighter then normal. Sorry.... I look pretty tired here. You can't tell bacuse of the daylight, but it was already early evening. I thought I was done for the day from doing anything. I go to make a bottle for my little one and guess what? No formula!! So I hopped in the car and ran to town for an emergency can. Lordy! How did I not snap that we were practically out! I also wanted to test out Aromaleigh's Nocturne Treatment as a primer. I already use this at night but I read that it helped someone control their oilies during the day so I just had to try it myself! I applied with a flocked sponge and misted it with just a little water, waited till it dried, and applied my mmu. To my amazement, it actually helped! I wasn't as oily as I usually get! (And nothing ever seems to work).

The other day I  burnt my head with curling iron. Yes, only I can still manage to get a curling iron burn. So I slabbed on some Aloe Vera gel from the plant and used a lot of concealer. Still visible though. =(. You see it? It's a little above my right eyebrow.
