I ran in to my neighborhood Sephora yesterday intent on researching a certain skin care line, but instead starting playing with makeup! Sephora has always been great for play time because you can ask for help or not, and just play by yourself with all the pretty little things!!
As I mentioned in a prior post, I love Makeup Forever's HD foundation, but have really only seen it on other people and never really got to wear it myself for a day. I wanted to figure out my perfect color (#115) and so I took what I thought was my color and applied it. After applying to one side of my face, actually one cheek, I suddenly heard an exclamation from nearby me saying how gorgeous and flawless my skin looked, and what was that I was applying? So I showed her and helped her choose her color and ended up selling product,which always seems to happen to me when I am in Sephora!! I just can't get over being a Sephora girl!! At any rate, the foundation did perfect my skin 1-2-3! Then I tried the NARS Multiple in Orgasm on my cheeks. It was sooooooooooo pretty and soooooooooo easy to apply and just that gorgeous fleshy pinky-gold tone that looks fabulous on everyone either as highlighter or cheek color depending on the depth of your skintone.
Next up were a few colors from Bare Escentuals on my lips. First I tried Honey Bunny, which came in a kit only, but it is a gorgeous Brigette Bardot kind of color and felt like it would stay on well for a gloss. Then I played with Bunny, which is a peachy pink gloss that looks absolutely beautiful! I need to wear that one out one day and see how it wears. Lastly, I left wearing their Buxom pencil in Amsterdam, which is a warm peachy brown based hue, and it would look softer or lighter on some of your lips depending on how much color you naturally have in your lips. Also, the Buxom pencils are so easy to use, more matte, lip plumping and you feel that plumper tingle!
I am so happy that I now have my HD perfect color from Makeup Forever, and felt a whole lot prettier walking out of Sephora!! Let's hear it for playing with color!!
