Make Up Aficionados, Holla

I have just converted make up foundations.

I have been a devoted user of Bare Minerals make up powder foundation along with the whole shebang with the warmth and mineral veil, but being all too fair skinned, my skin is very very sensitive. It's so fair and white/pale that I am at times pinkishly translucent- quite odd for a supposed fellow yellow Chinese/Taiwanese girl. And not to mention I turn red easily, and my cheeks have always been rosy -no blush necessary in my lifetime- ever since I was a baby. Basically if you were to look at me, I'd be the epitome of a China doll. (you know, medium sized almond shaped eyes, barely any hair on her body- sadly meaning no thick eyelashes or even enough for great shapely and full eyebrows- I pencil in the ends, I am the sort of girl who loves fuller eyebrows rather than the gross super thin and overtly plucked scenario. And the super fine dark brown black hair I got going on- I'm lucky my hair on my scalp grows super quick. The only thing that sets me apart from the Asiatic features is that I am a size 6-7 hourglass figure and not super skinny. go figure)


Okay, when I say sensitive, I am not kidding. Examples? When the weather changes (and mind you this hectic and constantly fluctuating Southern California weather has been a trip and not very forgiving on my skin and don't even get me started on they heavily disgusting smog and pollution), when the menstruation gods decide to collaborate with the hormone gods, when i eat really oily things like chips (so glad that the Lay's brand has decided to use all natural ingredients now, especially since i am an avid ingredient reader), stress of coz, really cheap make up, etc. Well, you get the gist of it, I manage to break out easily.

Anyway, after that long physical description tirade, comes the purpose of this shallow and superficial entry.


Lancôme TEINT IDOLE ULTRA Enduringly Divine & Comfortable Makeup. They're not kidding when they say it's enduringly divine and comfortable.


I have been getting a little tired of Bare Minerals powder because powder (but like I have raved in the past, the lip glosses are still da bomb) regardless of it's natural make or etc, it's going to clog your pores. If not soon then eventually. And my skin hasn't been all that great lately and I've noticed that I've been getting really sick of powder. It looks nice, don't get me wrong, but even if others can't see any flaws, you know you always can. And that shit bothers me. I've had Lancome's foundation too, so i decided to take a break from Bare Minerals and switch to that 'cause honestly, I am a bit sick of powder. It flies everywhere and it's a bit of a waste. Sadly.

Anyway, I got home last night and I looked at my face- make up still flawless as ever. It makes my skin so smooth too after I remove it completely and wash my face. When applied it goes on silky smooth, it blends super well, and the best thing is that it's so light and natural that a little goes a long way. It doesn't dry out your skin or separate at all when you sweat a little or have worn it all day like powder or mess it up like cheap make up foundations. Haha there's a reason why I love the old school really great make up brands such as Lancome and Estee Lauder, because they are too legit to quit!

I've never been a fan of liquid foundations because they're generally a bit oily and they feel heavy. Or after a couple hours they feel oily and have a shiny sheen, bleh. And they make me want to rub it off or scared that it'll come off, but seriously, this foundation is amazing! It looks and feels so natural and light. Ladies (or men), get on it!
