Again here I am trying to catch up with my posts, but so busy working and my mother was visiting this past week, which meant spending a lot of money. This was another make up haul from Sephora, they were separate buys to get more samples of course. I decided to actually buy this cobalt blue matte lipstick from Anastasia Beverly Hills as it was sitting in my shopping cart for a while and boy did this not disappoint. I also bought a matte pore primer from Benefit Cosmetics and the lock it concealer from Kat Von D as I had gotten a sample of this and loved it.

Received some samples with my lipstick order, IT Cosmetics cleanser and Dr. Jart Water Fuse, which I recently just finished.
The PORE fessional matte rescue primer from Benefit Cosmetics and Kat Von D Lock It Concealer in medium 19 cool.
I really did love the blue lips, it has now become my staple and my bitmoji on snapchat.

This Sunday I went to a beauty class at Sephora for flawless foundation, which is something experimental and new Sephora is trying with friends and family first. Since my roommate used to work there, she was invited and asked for a plus one since she knows I am a blogger. Here are the application steps.

1. Prep and Prime: Use PRO #47 or your fingers to massage on moisturizer. Allow to absorb for 30 seconds before applying pea sized amount of primer with the same tool. Allow the primer to absorb before moving on.

Pro Tips: Suggested by one of the associates and instructor, using your fingers is best as you can feel what spots you missed and if you properly applied. Be sure not to use too much primer. Too much will cause the foundation to ball up and roll instead of applying smoothly.


2. Apply Foundation: Start at the center of the face, apply small amounts of product to build sheer layers as you work your way out to the perimeter. For areas that need more coverage, use a stipple or patting motion to apply additional product in thin layers.

Pro Tips: Using a stippling motion in the areas desiring more coverage, ensures the brush is not removing product already applied. Brush #47 was also suggested for applying foundation, just make sure you hold it at the center of the brush and not towards the tip as it could add too much product to areas or give you a streaky effect that you don't want.

3. Conceal: Use PRO #45 or #57 to pat concealer on area of concern, working in sheer layers to build coverage. This application technique helps minimize texture.

Pro Tips: Warming concealer on the back of the hand can make the application more smooth. Use your makeup sponge to blend the concealer into your foundation since some of it will be on the sponge.


4. Set With Powder Or Mist: Dip PRO #50 into translucent setting powder, tap on handle to remove excess. Press and roll bristles across the face to set foundation. For those using powder foundations, a separate setting powder is not needed.

Pro Tips: Setting with powder is an example of makeup artists' go-to tricks: to extend wear, later a moist product with a dry product. It was also suggested for eyeshadows as well, just make sure to add the shadow to the brush first, then the mist. Fully dry your brush if adding more shadow as once your shadow gets wet, it can never be used again. For those using a liquid or cream and desire a bit more coverage, for this step, you can use a powder foundation instead of a translucent setting powder. Avoid sweeping or buffing the powder on as it can add texture to the skin.


This was my finished face after the class, I was in love. I especially loved the primer by Hourglass, which is why I got a sample of it. I was actually scheduled to work later that day, my first day at the Publix bakery and I was going to go in looking all glamed out. Actually a customer commented that I was beautiful, older female customer, because my makeup was on point.


This was my makeup after work that evening, still at 80%.

I have just discovered my new best friend! I was in the market for a new concealer that would cover up my imperfections and acne dark spots, I have a CVS within walking distance and I was between a matte foundation and multiple concealers and then I saw the Physician's Formula section. On the front it said all the areas it covers and then I flipped it over and saw pictures of before and afters and realized this is exactly was I was looking for.


This is my skin without any makeup or products on, as you can see, I have multiple dark spots from my acne that happened from stress this past fall and winter. I'm a person who usually only gets one pimple per month.
This is after putting it on, they are immediately erased.
This is each side after finishing my whole look. It is amazing, I love it and I have definitely found the product I was looking for.

Thought I'd show some of what I wore that day, sparkly gray top was a gift, worn with skinny jeans.
Clear and gray flower earrings were a gift from my uncle years ago, ring set was bought online from my wholesaler, Guess watch and stainless steel bracelet that was a gift from Nicaragua.
I told my new roommate about this new product I discovered and she actually actually uses the same one. She showed me her half used up bottle and agrees it is amazing, she has cystic acne and it covers up very well. I discussed with her that I no longer needed to buy the $30 foundation that I was in love with from Esteè Lauder now that I found this product, which is only $10. Does the same thing, but much different prices, I think I'll stick to Physician's Formula.

This is an unpaid product review and my actual honest opinion about a new product I discovered. Only edits on pictures that were done were making them lighter since it was kind of dark in the room.
