Foundations // Makeup

I forgot to post about these foundations, like I had planned. Since I've been enjoying both of them so much I wanted to post this still and hopefully it will help you decide on if either would be a good fit for you or not. 




1.0 Fl Oz $36
My Shade: Fair 103
Shade Range: 42 shades
Finish: Natural Matte 
Coverage: Medium to Full - Buildable 

*VEGAN | CRUELTY FREE | TALC FREE | PARABEN FREE | OIL FREE | FRAGRANCE FREE

I was super excited about the 'Meet Your Hue' launch from Dose. This foundation is a natural matte finish while not drying out your face. Applied with a hydrating primer on my combo-to-dry skin it is a perfect combo for an all day wear. I think with oily skin you could get by with just a regular primer and it would wear well. My shade is in the fair range (of course) but is the lightest neutral undertone in the line, I believe. The shade range is amazing and I was blown away by it and how many undertones are offered. The coverage easily gets to full so I go light handed for medium and apply it normally for a full coverage glam. Paired with the seamless sponge from Dose, it is perfection. While mentioning the sponge I wanted to include how much I love it. It applies, not only this foundation, but any I have applied with it flawlessly! To wrap up this one I think you will love it if you have oily skin and like coverage. For normal skin types I would say only if you like semi mattes and coverage and if you're more on the dry side like me the preference would depend not just on coverage and finish, but if you're comfortable wearing semi mattes. I know some don't so this might not be one for you unless you like mattes with hydrating primers like I do. Oh, and the applicator is a pump!



 0.95 Fl Oz $6.49
My Shade: Porcelain
Shade Range: 20 shades
Finish: Dewy 
Coverage: Medium to Full - Buildable 

*Cruelty-free, gluten-free, talc-free, and vegan shades. 

We're flipping this entirely.. This one is not only drugstore and drugstore price, but also dewy. I also like to apply with this with a regular or even a matte primer so it last the longest on my face. My shade matches me well for drugstore shades, but the shade range is set at 20 which isn't awful for drugstore, but could still use some more undertones in my opinion. Again I'm blown away by the coverage. This one you have to build more for those results than having them from the start with the Dose foundation. It does build up to medium and full coverage. The finish is dewy and incredible. My skin looks so healthy and glows while wearing this foundation. I like to apply it with a sponge also. If you have combo or dry you will love this foundation. If you have normal I would pair it with a matte primer and if you have oily skin type you might just want to run in the opposite direction of this foundation. Haha... It's a good drugstore favorite of mine for my dry skin. The applicator is still the wonky stick (like the regular PhotoFocus has), but the nasty paint smell is gone with this dewy one!

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Nomad Cosmetics Hudson Valley Palette | Makeup

 It had been too long since I got a palette from Nomad Cosmetics . They have one of the best formulas and I absolutely love when they do darker/fall color stories. I still use the Haunted Europe palette all the time and after using this one I know I'll be just as obsessed with it too. This palette is heavy on mattes with only three metallics. I do love these metallics. The formula is buttery and so pigmented plus the shades really compliment the mattes in this unique color story. The mattes are where it is at. They have some of the best mattes ever! Plus these shades?! You have a neutral side with a touch of greens that are all so toned down and wearable. But you also have those beautiful bold fall colors on the other side. While this was a fall launch and a palette I will be wearing every fall I'm sure. I found this palette to be incredible for the holiday season too. I loved the everyday neutral looks to the glam holiday looks that were perfect for holiday outings. The pigme...
