I hope you always feel great when you visit.

But, as you extremely well know, in some cases the genuine world intervenes.

Foundation mixology

because I’m guilty of purchasing new foundations instead of using up my current open bottle(s), typically I have at least 12 different ones on the go.  Some of them are better suited for the summer, while others are only used during the winter season months.  My skin tone often straddle between light and medium shades, so I typically mix 2 different shades to get a suitable colour match.   In addition, mixing different foundation formulas helps to get a finish that works better for my combination skin type.

Typically, I like to mix foundations to both colour match and improve on the formulations to my liking.

Here are some of my tried-and-true foundation mixes:

The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals liquid foundation in #108 golden Ivory – $25 for 28 ml (this item is no longer available in Canada)

Vichy Aera Teint Pure fluid foundation in 23 Ivory – $28 for 30ml (it’s nearly impossible to find information about this online but it’s readily available at drugstores in Canada)

The Body shop foundation in #108 was the lightest shade they provided that wasn’t pink toned. On me, this foundation is very yellow (almost ochre) and too dark. The formula is good though – an emollient liquid with a dewy finish. The shade could work if I was self-tanned in the summer months, but the formula was better suited for winter season time. This is where the Vichy foundation comes in. The Vichy foundation in #23 works well on its own for my winter season skin, however, its is a bit drying on its own. Mixed together, this concoction is ideal all year round.  I get a good shade match, and a medium coverage foundation with a satin finish.

Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse foundation in 83 Sable – $26 for 18 ml (got this on clearance, this item is now discontinued)

Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse makeup in #003 Nude – $12 for 39.7g

Alone, each of these foundations are a disaster.  The shade of the Bourjois is too yellow and dark on me.  The mousse texture was also quite thick, and somewhat challenging to blend into the skin.  The Revlon mousse dispenses through a foaming aerosol can that creates a frothy cloud of foundation that has visible glitter.  The shade nude is also slightly ashy on me.  However, when I mix these 2 foundations together, they seem to cancel out each other’s bad parts and I’m left with a somewhat glowy foundation that lasts very well on my skin.

Maybelline instant Age Rewind Eraser treatment Makeup in #260 Buff – $16 for 20ml

Sephora perfection mist Airbrush foundation in fair – $31 for 53g

I purchased the Maybelline foundation with the objective of mixing it with other foundations or using as a contour because I knew that the colour was way too dark for me (this was the only shade in the clearance bin and I really wanted to try it because I love the corresponding concealer so much).  There’s nothing bad about the formula – it’s got a lot of silicone in it so it’s quite slippery to blend – maybe a little too slick.  The Sephora airbrush foundation was a “Youtube made me purchase it” item – after seeing numerous rave videos, my curiosity got the better of me.  I really like the formula, however, the shade is a touch too light for me (although, I think the next shade up “Light”, would have been too orange on me).  And let’s be honest, it’s not really an airbrush foundation – it dispenses through an aerosol can, but there is no way to spray this directly onto my face to create an airbrushed look.  The best way to apply this is spray onto the palm of your hand, then use either a brush or a sponge to apply to the face.

Tips:
• There are no guidelines for mixing foundations (most of these were trial and error), but a essential element in success is to first make sure both formulas are either water based or oil based – mixing a water with an oil based liquid will result in foundation separation and pilling (little bits rolling off the skin when rubbed).
• in some cases I pre-mix the foundations in the palm of my hand before applying to my face, in some cases I just dab dots of each straight onto my face and blend (pro-tip: apply the darker colour at the perimeter of the face and concentrate the lighter shade in the center to do a contour / highlight).
• I don’t always mix 50/50 of each foundation – I just eyeball the mixture ratio depending on what kind of finish I’m aiming for.  Another bonus, depending of the time of year and how pale or tanned I am, I can customize my shade by adjusting the mixture ratio.

Do you ever mix your foundations to get the best colour or finish?

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

reliable autumn tones on my lids, lips as well as cheeks
1. Monochromatic makeup

I like exactly how matching your cheek, eye as well as lip color makes putting on makeup so much easier!

You don’t have to believe as deeply about “does this color goes keeping that shade?” as well as if you discover a single multitasking product, that makes it even easier. (I’ve got my eye on a couple of these multitasking cream mattes by Danessa Myricks.)

2. Trader Joe’s Apple Caramel Greek Yogurt

This yogurt is so good! It’s like a slice of caramel apple pie in a cup. There’s even small bit apple pieces in it, as well as whenever I discover one, I feel like I just won the yogurt lottery.

Sometimes I like to add a little handful of TJ’s Candied Pecans to take it to the next level.

3. fitness instructor Fred

I like his playlist, his energy as well as his striped elf socks! The part of me that randomly bursts into tune while in public likewise appreciates his penchant for singing while he’s in the middle of a tabata sprint.

Speaking of pie, these are pie slice-shaped sticky notes, as well as they’re absolutely glorious.

They’re small sufficient to tuck away into text, yet huge sufficient to pen a quick note to self.

5. “All the method Up”

Another shout-out to fitness instructor Fred, who put this on his playlist in a recent spin class. I haven’t heard this tune in ages, however when I was on the bike I started pedaling like I was in the last leg of the excursion de France!

Oh, as well as while I was trying to discover the tune on YouTube, I randomly ran into this other tune called “All The method Up” by a singer named Jay Park.

By the way, I didn’t find my Cadbury Bar, boo! cost plus didn’t have ’em. If you happen to know someplace that sells the British version, holla at your girl.

The Easter identify

This isn’t anything official – I pulled these concerns from a number of blogs as well as YouTube videos as well as selected the concerns I like best!

1. Do you celebrate Easter?
Yes. Although the root of Easter is a religious holiday (and some would suggest even a lot more significant than Christmas), I feel it’s such a cultural / commercialized holiday, a lot of people seem to “celebrate” Easter just by stuffing themselves full of chocolate.

Source.

2. What is your preferred thing about Easter?
The chocolate!

Feature picture source.

3. What are your plans for Easter this year?
Nothing as well interesting – off to the in-laws for dinner with the instant family. We’re truly low key, just like Christmas.

4. What is your fave color of jelly beans?
I like the yellow ones. I like citrus-y tasting jelly beans… although I’m not completely sure the regular jelly beans have different flavours? Unless we’re speaking about Jelly stomach here.  Then my much-loved would be pear! I like the pear flavoured Jelly Belly.

Source.

5. Do you embellish eggs?
Not anymore however we utilized to annually as kids. We normally got those shrink wrap plastic sleeves that melted around the eggs when you put them in hot water – they were so easy!

Source.

6. What is the best Easter meal?
We usually have spiral ham instead of turkey.  We will likely have sufficient left over spiral ham for a number of meals after.  Dessert is normally ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.

7. What part of the chocolate bunny do you eat first?
It’s got to be the ears!

Source.

8. exactly how old were you when you stopped hunting eggs?
I most likely hunted for eggs much longer than I should. however c’mon, complimentary candy! My mommy utilized to produce truly sophisticated treasure search style hints with rhyming hints as well as everything. as well as our prize? A lot of difficult boiled eggs which would get made into egg salad sandwiches…

9. preferred Easter treat?
Kinder Surprise! I’m sorry to my American buddies who cannot get these… I believe the legislation banning them are so ridiculous!

Source.

10. bunnies or chicks?
I believe this concern is about marshmallow Peeps so I would have to state chicks! They’re the original!

Hope you all have a Hoppy Easter!

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, makeup and charm blog Mascot, Vol. 633

Rosie got no chill.

For such a tiny torbie, she’s surprisingly high strung when it comes to the gangs of turkeys roaming about the estate. Yes, she refers to our neighborhood as her “estate,” and the turkeys are trespassing upon her land.

ADVERTISEMENT

They’re only doing what the turkeys do every year. They strut about, fluffing their feathers to let everyone know that they’re the kings of the neighborhood, but Rosie isn’t having any of that.

Rosie is convinced that they’re plotting to overthrow the neighborhood. “Nefarious plots,” she calls them.

She’s taken it upon herself to lead the torbie army to protect the land.

It’s a side of her I haven’t seen before. She’s quite the warrior kitty.

Tabs had a completely different cattitude. He saw the turkeys as his next meal, not as a force to be obliterated.

Guerlain holiday 2105: Perles Des Neiges

I had seen quite a few promotional images of the Guerlain holiday 2105 Perles Des Neiges Meteorites (those star-shaped pearls!), but nothing prepared me for how beautiful the snowball orb-like packaging is! This just might be the item that I’d break my No-Buy for….! I’m so smitten with this!

fromSandyxo

This must be the most anticipate release for this holiday!  Well at least it was for me:)  You can never have enough of these little pots of Meterorites balls right!

I placed an order from Escentual as soon as I found out that it was available in the UK.

This year the packaging is everything!  The casing is  a snowball, and there are some star-shaped pieces within these meteorites pearls. It also comes with a powder puff with a golden ribbon.

I read that the delicate illumination is perfected with the beige pearls to even out the skin tone, champagne to brighten, and gold for a sun-kissed effect. This beauty is also supposed to blur lines and imperfections for a radiant result.  Some loves Guerlain Meteorites and addicts to the effects that they can give.  And some just can not tell the difference and do not understand the need to…

My much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes

perhaps I’m being as well loose with the term “palette” since most of my favourites are just quads – however I mean they autumn under the umbrella of palettes? To me, a combination is anything a lot more than a duo – so trios, quads, as well as quints all qualify.  What I’m trying to state is that I do not like big scale pre-made palettes. I understand that within a palette, I will always end up with at least one dud, as well as the a lot more shades within a palette, the higher the chances are that I will end up with many duds (so no, I do not own any type of of the metropolitan Decay naked palettes!)

My requirements for a great combination is one that I like most, if not all, of the shades, as well as one that I can produce a almost total eye look from. They’re fantastic for travelling as well as those days when I just want a one stop shop for my eye shadow look.  Here are my much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes.

MAC Bare My Soul: Eye shadow X4 (Romantico, Bare My Soul, Friendly, When In Rio) – $52
I’m m sorry to begin off with a restricted edition combination however this is SO great that I just had to include it. Normally, I don’t choose pre-made MAC palettes – I own just 3 of them – sometimes the high quality are not always as great as their singles. Besides, MAC sells pan type of their eye shadows as well as empty palettes, it’s a no-brainer to develop my own.  But, this introduced in the temperature Rising collection in summertime of 2013 as well as was just special sufficient for me to pay attention. It has all shimmery shades however they are each high high quality as well as this combination alone would nearly total an eye look. I would perhaps need a matte shift shade for blending however that’s not a huge deal.

My much-loved shades in this combination are Romantico as well as Friendly.  The eco-friendly in When In Rio doesn’t actually doesn’t apply all that eco-friendly – it’s a duochrome with a strong dark brown base.

Illamasqua Neutral combination (Stealth, Vintage, Wolf, Obsidian) – $45 (was bought at The Bay however the brand is no longer offered in north america – on the internet only)
Trust me to purchase actually the most tame combination that Illamasqua has ever released.  But it’s a great fundamental – 3 matte shades (off-white, brown as well as a black = the Trifecta) as well as a sensational antique gold shimmery shade makes this a one combination wonder.

I frequently just wear vintage on its own around the lid, as well as then utilize Stealth as a brow bone highlight as well as phone call it a day. I keep in mind the makeup artists at the Illamasqua counter would rave about Obsidian as being the blackest black, however I discover it somewhat grey, as well as rather a dry formula.  Wolf makes a fantastic liner for a smudgy look.

Lancome color style Eye Brightening All-In-One five shadow & liner Palette Taupe trend 001 – $57 (department stores)
This was a gift from a buddy as well as it was immediate love!  The shades are all extremely wearable as well as as a stand alone palette, this has everything (sorry there are no private shade names in this combination however there are placement guidelines): 1 all-over base (I utilize this as my brow bone highlight), 2 lid (my much-loved shade of this combination – so delighted they made it the greatest pan), 3 crease (or shift shade which is matte), 4 highlight (this is method as well shimmery for brow bone highlight, I such as this for inner corner), 5 liner (or for the crease).

The high quality of these eye shadows are extremely buttery – the only drawback is that the shimmers tend to have some fall-out.  I do desire they have made the crease shade larger as well as less of the “highlight” which is a bit sheer.

Estee Lauder Pure color 5 Colour Eyeshadow combination 08 Bronze Dunes $50 (I believe EL has discontinued these palettes!  The new “Sculpting” 5 pans are most likely worth a look, the closest colours are “Rebel Metal” as well as “Defiant Nude”)
The warmness of this combination put me off at first, however I discovered to make it work by lightly dusting the matte brown shade on my lid as well as then blending the warm coppery shade on top, concentrating it in the inner corner.

The mattes in this combination are fantastic.  The formula of these shadows are a bit a lot more on the dry side, however the wear time of these shadows are the longest out of all of the palettes featured in this post.  I bring this combination on work trips when I understand that I will have long days.  The only irritating thing about this combination is exactly how tough it is to open!

Elizabeth Arden color Intrigue Eyeshadow Quad Sueded Browns – $15 (Winners – I’m not sure if these are still offered at counters however they’re on EA’s site)
Best $15 spent.  This combination is pigmented as well as versatile.  And compact size is, well, extremely compact.  The top 2 shades are satins without any typeof visible shimmer, as well as the bottom 2 shades have a extremely fine-tuned shimmer to them.

The eye shadow high quality is absolutely amazing – extremely blendable as well as long wearing.  I’m going to make a strong statement: I believe this is my top pick out of the palettes shown in this post.  I was so delighted with this discover at Winners that I trekked around town in really hopes that other places would stock more colours – my determination paid off: I likewise scored the Neutral Cashmeres and Velvet Plumtones.  They’re all great however Sueded Browns is my much-loved for a go to single combination look.

Those are my much-loved pre-made eye shadow palettes – let me understand what yours are!
