MakeUp Forever Face & Body Foundation

Today I decided to try a different foundation. In search of a lightweight liquid foundation for everyday use with light to medium coverage. I came across MakeUp Forever Face & Body recommended by my mother in law beautyrocksme on YouTube. I used the shade #44 (Coffee) which was a little red for me but I still wanted to try it to get the feel of the texture and coverage. I applied it with my elf flat powder brush and set it with MAC mineralized skinfinish natural in dark. The foundation blended so nicely and applied lightly with a slight dewy finish. It gave me good coverage with just the first layer, but I was told you can build up the foundation to get more coverage by letting the foundation dry and then applying a little more. Overall I do like this foundation as a everyday foundation, the only con I have would be the smell. It does in my opinion have a very strong chemical like smell that's a bit strong. The smells does fade away once the foundation dries and you dnt smell it the remainder of the day. I definitely will be purchasing this to use as my everyday light to medium liquid foundation.

Sedona Lace 12 PC Professional Brush Review

Ok so I was in search of good quality brushes but at affordable prices to add to my freelance kit. I had my eyes set on Sigma Brushes of course. Some how some way I came across a review on youtube raving about how great Sedona Lace brushes are. Sedona lace definitely did great at creating similar dupes to Sigma and MAC brushes.

Sedona Lace - Se7ven Midnight Lace Synthetic Brush Set (Review)

I was so excited when I saw the release of these cute brushes. Not only are they pink and feminine but they look so nice on your makeup vanity. These brushes also do not stain, making your brushes appear new longer than your average brush with white or tan bristles. This set is a synthetic brush set making it perfect to use to apply your cream and/or liquid products.
