Long Time No Blog!

Wow, it has been exactly a month since I last posted or visited my blog! Summer is finally here but I’m actually even busier now than I was. I work part time 5 days a week. I would really be working 40 hours a week if it wasn’t for that unpaid lunch. My summer is being taken over by work, but whatever, I need the money ane experience anyways. So how has everyone been this past month?!

I went to Sephora recently to return the Make Up For Ever HD Primer in Mauve because in my opinion, that primer did nothing at all for me. I exchanged it for the Duo Mat Powder Foundation and also picked up the BeautyInsider birthday gift.

Has anyone tried the Duo Mat Foundation? I figured it’s the summer and I’m usually very oily and sweaty in the summer so I needed a foundation that would keep me matte. I picked up shade 203 even though I wasn’t sure whether this is the right shade for me. I used it for the first time today and my first impression was good. I felt that looked a bit cakey and flaky on me. It did keep me matte longer than I would be with other powder foundation, but I didn’t think the foundation was spectacular since I still had to blot my face. With it costing $32 for so little product, I probably wouldn’t be repurchasing. I’d rather use my Milani Minerals Compact Foundation, which I am loving and is like a 1/4 the price of the MUFE foundation. I’m probably going to try it a few more times and if I’m not satisfied, I shall exchange for something else at Sephora. Oh how I just love the return and exchange policy at Sephora.

Any current product recommendations?! I still have a Sephora giftcard that my brother gave me for my birthday. I’m thinking maybe I should splurge on some skincare products instead. Anyone know of any good products that treats uneven skintone or redness?
