Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup Foundation


I have been using this product for a couple weeks now and I must say I wasn't expecting a lot from it because it isn't a brand I usually reach for. But, lately I've had a hard time with foundations because every one I tried made me look super dry and cakey. I had heard that Almay products were made for sensitive skin and wasn't suppose to make you breakout. Curious, I decided to give this a try.


As you can tell, the color of the jar is not the color you get inside. At first, it starts out grey but when you blend it into your skin it starts to match your skin color.



It has a whipped texture and it blends really nicely. I love the finish of this product once it sets, I would say this has a medium coverage and a dewy finish.

Overall, after using this product for several weeks, I must say that I am in love with this mousse makeup and when I will run out of it, I will for sure buy it again! This was worth every penny.
I haven't notice a lot of breakouts in weeks with this or any dry patches.
This is a really good inexpensive product which I think would be good on any skin types.
I recommend everyone to try out this product.

Music Playlist

I felt like posting something different which is not beauty related that wouldn't take too long but is still another passion of mine so I decided to share my music playlist. These are songs I've been listening a lot lately and has been on repeat for quite a while. I seriously can't go a day without listening to music. Such a waste! Music makes everything better. I usually only ever listen to metal and rock but lately I've been listening to more types and genres !
  • Arctic Monkeys- Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
  • Arctic Monkeys-Do I Wanna Know?
  • Pharrell Williams- Happy
  • John Newman- Love Me Again
  • Lorde- Team
  • The Neighbourhood- Sweater Weather( Live acoustic )
  • Serj Tankian- Sky Is Over
  • Serj Tankian- Empty Walls
  • Marcy Playground- Sex and Candy
  • Metallica- Whiskey In The Jar
Hope you enjoyed xx

Top 5: Lip gloss


 1.Revlon Colorburst in ''Bordeaux"
Swatch:

This is a very pigmented deep red. It isn't matte but not too shiny either!
A little of this color goes a long way and it also stays for quite a while.
I would also say that this lip gloss is quite buildable and also is the perfect fall or winter color.


#2 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop
Swatch:


This color is a very beautiful pink shade. I especially love this color during the summer.
I also really love the texture of this one and I like to wear it on top of pink lipsticks a lot but it is also very pretty on it's own.


#3 Essence Stay with Me longlasting Lipgloss in ''Me & My IceCream"
Swatch:


This shade is a light baby pink. It does stay on well and it is VERY affordable. This is a perfect everyday shade.


#4 Rimmel London Apocalips in Phenomenon
Swatch:



This color is more of a peachy nude. I really love the texture and the cute packaging.


#5 Smashbox in Luster
Swatch:



As you can tell, this color doesn't really show. This lipgloss is really sheer but it contains a lot of different types of glitters which will make any lipsticks have a nice shine.
