Dipped in Cobalt

Another neutral look! Well, relatively neutral. I love navy blue liner with a passion, because blue is just about the prettiest color against brown eyes.  And it looks normal until you look close up, and then it looks like you lined your eyes with sapphire. Or cobalt. By the way, when I was looking up a picture for cobalt in google images, one of the first pictures that came up was a blue tarantula. I almost died. And here's the look!

Erm... Awkward. I don't really remember at all. I'll try anyway, though!\

Eyes:

• Too Faced Shadow Insurance
• Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige
• Urban Decay Book of Shadows 4 palette; Skimp, Midnight Cowgirl, Zephyr.
• Urban Decay Naked Palette; Naked, Smog
• Urban Decay Binge eyeliner
• L'Oreal quad in Cobalt Smokes (Dark blue and darker blue shades.)
• Urban Decay Perversion eyeliner
• Urban Decay curling mascara

Hmm. That looks right. Even if it isn't, you guys don't really care. 

Sorry if those products are completely wrong... I did that look everyday for about a week, using different products each time trying to get it to look better and better. I decided that more golden-yellow colors make for better contrast, I think. It doesn't help that I did the look a while ago too. I'm going to try to come up with some product reviews next. I know that everyone loves tutorials and looks the best, but I have a lot of pictures backed up in my camera, and most of them are products.  I do have looks too, so don't worry about that either. 

Hope ya'll are having a fabulous Saturday! Oh, and I went to LUSH for the first time today. That place is expensive! I don't know how you guys go to it so often. Well, hopefully the face bar I got there will do something for my disaster of a face. Screw you acne!

Face Up to It: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

So, I ran out of my L'Oreal Magicsmooth Souffle Foundation, and so I had to get a new liquid foundation. I saw that the Maybelline Fit Me wasn't too expensive, so I decided to give it a go.  I believe that it was around $7.  

I don't like foundation bottles like this, because I always pour too much out, and then have to pour some back in, which is kind of gross.  The color is 220, Natural Beige.

Both of these pictures are pretty color accurate. It's pretty much a light tan. Unfortunately, it has a little bit of a greenish undertone... So I don't think that this foundation is anyone's natural color. On the otherhand, I guess that the green tone helps with red color correcting.  Anyway, the right swatch is thicker than you would wear it on the skin, but it shows the finish of the foundation really well. Which, by the way, sucks.

I hate the finish of this foundation.  It looks just as shiny as it looks in that picture.  This foundation gives the most oily looking finish that I've ever seen. Now, I always wear powder to set my foundation, but I have to use so much to set it and make it look matte that my face looks incredibly cakey.  This foundation is so shiny that even people with dry skin, who like dewy finish's would not like it.  I honestly don't know anyone who would like the natural finish of this foundation.

This foundation has pretty good coverage, but it's a little bit streaky when you apply it.  You have to take care to blend it out, and this also makes it so that it's not very buildable.  I feel like maybe it would apply better with a brush, but I just don't feel like I could ever get it too look good on its own. 

Regardless of the oily finish, I didn't find that this foundation moved around any more than any others that I used, whether I used a primer or not. The oilyness was just in how it looked, not really how it performed.

Long story short, I don't like this foundation at all. The color is kind of weird, the finish is terrible, and the packaging is not ideal.  It's not a bad price, and it's not so bad that I won't use it up, but I don't recommend it to anyone, especially because this isn't the first bad review that I've seen. 

What finish do you like for your foundation?
