I have "Dewey" Skin

I was so excited; yesterday I went into ULTA and ran through the store like a addict trying to find her next fix.  Literally, I bet if they have cameras in there their loss prevention department would be like, who the hell is that and what the eff is she doing?!  I had shadow swatches all up my arms.  I even went in with a list to try and stay focused and on budget, but shit hit the fan when I grabbed a bag.  I walked out of there with my heart racing like like I just concurred climbing Mt. Everest.  It was sad, I know. 

I bought the Matte foundation by NYX, the anti shine primer and the anti-shine setting spray.  I was like, "girl, you are about to get your shine under control!"  I like to have my personality shine bright like a diamond, but not my skin, if ya know what I mean!

Today I put everything on, I was pumped! here I am sitting at my desk 3:27pm and my face look like I just put oil all over it.  I am not kidding you! I noticed right after I put on this foundation that I did not look matte. I knew it would be down hill from there.  

I think I am beyond trying to pass as the "dewy" look.  I seriously look like I just rubbed oil on my face. 

I am in no way knocking on the NYX products. I LOVE that line.  I had a full on 20 min conversation with a random shopper in Wegmans raving about everything, but their anti shine line is just not cutting it for me! 

So far, my fav combination of products for my skin are Maybelline matte mouse foundation with Porefessional as a primer and NO setting spray, or Becca Complexion Cream with professional primer applied with a beauty blender.

I am on the hunt for the perfect blend of products!!! My next foundation to try is going to be the Givenchy

Fluid Foundation Airy-Light Mat Radiance.   

I will keep you posted! Stay beautiful, beauty queens! 

XOXO
