Hey! My Eyes Look Bigger!

I think most people know about circle lenses by now so there’s no need for me to introduce it. I’ve never been too fond of circle lenses after my first experience with it. I bought a pair of Geo Nudy Brown with my friend last year. However, it just didn’t work for me. It hurt my eyes so much that I wanted to rip them out right after I put them on. No way was I going to use something that hurt my eyes. (And yes, they are authentic so that wasn’t the problem).  I thought maybe it was just that type of lens that didn’t work for me. After much hesitation, I decided to try another pair a year later. Click pictures to enlarge.

This time I decided to get the Geo Fresh Look Brown since I like lens that look really natural as opposed to crazy colored ones.

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?
