When you have a more extensive makeup collection, it can be hard to stay focused on what's most important. I really enjoyed the challenge of putting together my best face. One product from each category. My true favorites. To know as long as I have these, I'm good. That's peace. Freedom. Or as it is commonly called in the beauty world, My HG face.

Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation : First Impression Application & Review

Did a video demo of the new Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation in the shade Golden Light. If you don't want to watch it in action, my final thoughts are that it is definitely not for dry skin. It did cling to dry patches, and felt like it was sucking moisture out of my face. Not good for the dry sensitive skin types! I had a suspicion that might happen based the amount of talc in the ingredients, but that cocoa powder goodness had my hopes up that it would be an exception to the rule. Sorry to say this one is being returned. It does smell great though! But in the future I'll be getting my sent fix from the chocolate soliel bronzer only!

Tarte Skinny Smoldereyes Intense - Gold, Bronze, Plum

This is the Tarte Skinny Smoldereyes Intense Trio from Qvc.com. Currently these shades are only available on qvc. This is also suppose to be a more intensified version with more pigment than the original skinny smoldereyes. These swatched extremely easily, high pigmentation and opacity, the swatches photographed below are only one swipe. I think they are absolutely beautiful and a wonderful way to celebrate the coming fall! I know I will be wearing them to the pumpkin patch this year!

  L to R: Gold, Plum, Bronze (Gold is more of an antique gold metallic, plum has a lot of burgundy in it and a little bit of glitter, Bronze is a metallic warm milk chocolate brown with a small amount of glitter.)

Gold, Plum, Bronze

Below wearing Plum, it has a beautiful copper glitter and a small amount of gold and purple glitter. It's very fine glitter that lends beautifuly to the fall feel of these liners.

 They wore very well, no smudging at all.

Burberry Sheer Luminous Fluid Foundation in Trench No.4

      Being the first day of spring I have decided to celebrate on my face ;) Today I'm still trying out Burberry Sheer Luminous Fluid Foundation in the color Trench No.4. Thought I would share it with you all in case you're interested. I do think this is a fairly good mommy foundation because it's super easy to blend and doesn't need a powder to set it. It has a nice glow to waken up the face which most moms can use. The downsides for some people might be that it does have a light powdery scent. It also may not work for super oily skin since it does have a slight 'glow' built in. Even though I do not have oily skin it did get a bit shiny by the end of the day.

All over face. 

Also wearing Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten.

Below is a video still of me wearing this foundation for the first time. No concealer. You can still see my freckles.

I think my end opinion is this is a really beautiful sheer foundation, but not great for long wear times.

Thanks for stopping by!
