Hey,
Today's blog is going to have a focus on makeup and my sort of "beauty routine". I don't like to wear a lot of makeup; I like the more natural look. So my beauty routine consists of concealer, compact powder, eyeliner, mascara, blush/bronzer, and a natural color on the lips. Yet, I feel like the compact powder wears off after a while and doesn't cover as much as I would like. And on the other hand, I feel that foundation is a bit too much for an everyday wear (again this is my opinion). I decided to do some research on what products I could use and ended up more confused than at the beginning. I went to Sephora to pick up my birthday gift and decided to ask someone (they were really helpful). They told me about the Cover FX CC cream because of my combination skin (mostly oily but in some parts dry). And I have to say I AM IN LOVE! It's sort of a big splurge if you are on a budget but for me it was worth it (it was $45). It doesn't dry my skin, every time I wear it I see an improvement with my acne, it gives my skin the coverage needed, and it feels light on the skin. Best of all, unlike other BB creams or CC creams it comes in a variety of shades; my shade is medium. I used the CC cream with the birthday gift and adored the combination. The mini lipstick is a perfect shade and the mascara gave me full thick lashes (which is odd because my lashes are really short). I took some pictures and below you can see the makeup.
For those of you looking for a CC cream or a BB cream, my advice is to go directly to a store where someone can help you. There are so many options and though they are suppose to do the same thing, they all come with a different focus. In my case I went to Sephora, but there are so many other places you can go and other alternatives that are not as expensive as the one I bought.
Xoxo,
