Angelfit

I finally gave up on my ELF foundation. Sure, it has its benefits but I wanted more out of my foundation. I finally had the guts to shell out more than 500 bucks, one day in October, and never looked back.

I’m glad I bought a higher priced foundation. I am now slowly experiencing and learning about the differences in makeup brands and prices. You are really paying for quality.

I was a bit apprehensive with this purchase as the SA’s in both SM and Landmark seem to not know what shade to give me. I told them I was acidic so naturally, I needed the lighter shade. The one at SM said that I should use the light beige ochre shade, which is the natural shade, so that I wouldn’t get dark. She said that if I use the lighter shade then I would get dark. This is the first time I’ve heard this. Is is really like that?  I repeated this to the Landmark SA and she agreed but after a few minutes, she asked me again what the other SA said. Then, she said that I should use what the other SA said. I was like, whatever… let’s get this over with.

On my first day of use, I immediately saw the difference. This foundation looked really nice on my skin. It also didn’t give me any breakouts and doesn’t have a funny smell like the other Maybelline face powders.  Fast forward to present, I am now thinking twice about this particular shade. Sometimes I think I look dark but when I ask MB, he says I still look the same. But you know, you can’t really trust guys when it comes to makeup. I bought a refill of this during the sale and if it doesn’t work out then I’ll try a different brand.

I wanted the limited edition compact with the origami design but they sold out on my shade. Anyway, this one still looks pretty.

The sponge is good but I still need to replace it every now and then so I bought a whole pack of sponges at Beauty Bar.

This foundation stays on for a good amount of time as long as you don’t get stuck in traffic or aren’t in the field for so long. You’d have to retouch when you get to the office or wherever you’re going. For me, when I get to my destination, I just use an oil blotting sheet to remove the excess oil on my nose and forehead then I’m good to go.  The leftover foundation is still good enough to last a couple of hours or so. If you really want this to last, start with a fresh, clean face then when you’re going to retouch, remove all the excess  oil on your face first then apply. This trick also makes your sponge last longer as some of the dirt is removed by the blotting sheet.

Will I repurchase? I’m still hoping that this will work out but I’m also itching to try the NARS foundation. So, we will see. What’s your favorite foundation?

Happy New Year everyone!

    The SA's told me the same thing and yes you can't trust guys when it comes to make-up, haha.


    Weird, pareho tayo E, sometimes I think I look dark with this foundation.

    My favorite now would be my in2it oil control foundie, I used to have a shu uemura, pero bigay lang sa akin, and of course ang ganda ng coverage, i don't even need a concealer, but too pricey. Right now I'm eyeing on the neutrogena foundation

    I think I want to try Shu Uemura. Siguro when I pay, I'll close my eyes and tell the cashier, please make it quick. Hahaha!

    Yung in2it kasi is always out of stock (for my shade). Thanks for the Shu tip Kitten!

    haha, same here, ako I'll save for it. I think it's 2,500 or baka mas mataas na now. Still, I won't be using it everyday naman.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
