Here’s another review for another e.l.f product.
After finding the perfect foundation, actually, im still trying other brands now (more cheaper brands), I need to find the perfect powder to help me set he liquid/cream foundation. I was in Rustan’s looking around when the sales representative told me that they have elf products there. Since I so love elf, I decided to check out their product. And there, I a corner of their stand lay 4 black contatiners (looking like MAC’s pressed powder). I asked the sales rep what is it and she immediately showed it to me. She said that this is the one she’s currently using, actually she have them on. She handed me the shade she thinks best suit me, Rosy Beige. The shade is darker than the one that I’m using (from a local brand).
So the following day, I started using it and there, I started loving it. It gives a matte finish and a coverage that makes my skin looks so fresh. I tried using it with the different liquid and cream foundation as a base. It makes my make up application easier and my male up stays longer. I even tried using it without any liquid nor cream foundation base but it still works good. My officemates always gives me compliment and is asking what powder im using.
This is one product that I really am so happy about. I recommend it to my friends and will definitely use it with my clients. Kudos to e.l.f!!!!!

The search for the perfect foundation
Being a make-up artist, i need to have the right foundation. This will be the key for a longer lasting and beautiful makeup for my clients. So after a while, I decided to finally end my search for the foundation that I'm going to use.
First stop, MAC. I was so excited when I went there. I just cant imagine how am going to be assisted by the sales reps and wha would they recomend to me. unfortunately, this experience happens to be so frustration (i'll write another blog re this experience). So I decided to check Rustan's (though I have the fear that I might get out there with my credit card and cash all maxed-out, lol). There I was so overwelmed. I saw NARS, Stila, L'oreal, Max Factor, Skin food, etc. But what cougth my eyes, aside from Stila, is ELF. Actually, I was asking the sales rep if they have NYX, urban decay and the likes. But she said that they have ELF. I am actually a BIG fan of ELF. So there, I was able to buy a cream stick blush on and their two way cake foundation (the studio line one). Still not contended, I ask if they have another branch of MAC there but i was informed that it's the same branch i went earlier. So I decided to look around instead and I was so excited when I went up the 2nd floor and saw all the high end brands of make-up. Ofcourse I told my self that I just need a foundation, that' it. So I checked out Bobbi Brown, Shu Uemura, YSL, Clinique, and others. But still haven't found my foundation. So I went and called my mentor and ask him which brand is ok. And he said that the best one are Shu Uemura and Shiseido. So I went to Shu Uemura and i fell inlove with their cream foundation. However, something told me to check out other stores. So I decided to check out Shiseido. The sales representatives are so accomodating and they explained to me their products. Then, their make up artist ask me to try their liquid foundation. It was so nice. Heavy coverage but you can bearly see the foundation he put on my face, it blends well in my skin. It's not so liquid, its actually a cream type. So there, I decided that i'll end my search here. The attendant is so nice that he even ask me to schedule a free trial make up with him. "The mae-up artist will have a make-over from another make-up artist".
Here's some notes from the label of what I bought... "Shiseido The Makeup Lifting FOundation" COverage: FULL: Finish: Lutrous; Skin Type: Normal to Dry. Promotes youthful-looking firmness and luster and maintains a lasting flawless finish.
See, its a good buy, right... I will come up with more updates for you guys. I wil definitely make a review re this foundation and other foundation soon... FOr the mean time, I'll rest my pen here... XOXO
