Review: Clinique redness Solutions

Yo! what is up my makeup loving Junkies!, how is everyone doing?
This is a review on Clinique Redness solutions base makeup (foundation)

and I have it in the color 03 Calming Ivory.  (MAC reference NC30).  I purchases this at the Clinique counter for $25 bucks. The bottle holds 1 fl.oz or 30 ml. I love this foundation. It's marketing pitch is that it is a foundation that will neutralize the redness on the face and this works. I have redness around my nose and my cheeks, and this covers it up beautifully. What really sold me was that it neutralized the red acne scars on the back of my cheeks  and made it less noticeable. This is a medium coverage foundation that is build-able. I generally don't need that much coverage so I sheer it out with some moisturizer to get a tinted moisturizer effect.
This is allergy tested and fragrance free so it is suitable for sensitive skin. This has  SPF 15, so it has some sun protection but 15 isn't enough, I suggested a higher one underneath your base makeup, even if it has it built in. For me this is a great winter, fall foundation because it matches me better. In the summer it is a little too light for me so I don't use it  that much.  The texture of this product is liquidy but not runny. It drys to a satin finish. It is very light weight on the skin and half the time I forget I'm wearing anything.

Overall I think this is a great foundation for people who need or wants to cover up redness on their face. Great purchase!

Sunday Goodies!

This weekend was all about investment pieces and fashion basics.

This Sunday I spent some quality time with my mommy shopping at the Marina center in San Lorenzo. My mom and I love to go the Talbot for good quality investment pieces. Now, Talbot is normally catered to the older generation of women but I can always find nice shirts and blazer that I can mix with more contemporary piece, closer to my age to make them work.  The great thing about Talbots is their sales. Every time we go there are discounts from 30 % to 80%  off. Great deals on  professional style clothes. At Talbots I found a navy blue blazer that has a semi ruffle collar regular priced at $80 outlet price on sale for 60% off so my total was about $25 tax included. one of my best finds yet. it is a perfect fit and I can see myself wearing this with a multitude of outfits.

Then while my mom and bro went to Marshalls, I went to the Old Navy outlet store and tried on some of there premium skinnies and I fell in love. These are one of the best jeans I've tried in a long time.  I have been looking into getting some really good quality jeans for a while now and because I have slimmed down a bit I wanted to invest in a good pair of jeans. The jeans price original was $58 and I payed $47 20% off. Even though I work, the 47 price tag was a lot for me, but that just motivates me to keep slimming down so that the jeans will forever be worn until I need a smaller pair.

My last clothing purchase for the day was some essentials for my closet. For the last bit of our shopping day we went to Costco for some last minute food shopping and I picked up some tanks and camis. I personally love Costco's Kirkland brand camis, they are great. Nice and soft and really good quality camis. My other ones from way back in the day have seen better days so I replaced them with new ones. And because you can also never go wrong with some black tanks I got some Calvin Klein tanks.

Elf Kabuki Face brush Review

Hello, I have been on the hunt for a kabuki brush for some time now and when I saw that ELF had one in their studio line I decided to try it out. I got this brush in the hopes that it will be a nice kabuki I could use to buff in my powder foundation  or any product. But the  brush is so floppy that any pressure would make the bristles flay out and disperse against the skin. The brush is very thin and bendable, so the brush couldn't pick up any product. For a kabuki brush it didn't perform adequately. this brush is just a big powder brush with no handle, I can not recommend this brush. For what it is, it does not perform at all. The brush its self is nice and soft though but it doesn't really have anything going for it. Not worth the money.
