Hello Again!

Hello world! It has been quite a while since we have spoken, and I apologize. School has taken over and well, you know how that is.

I have since made the executive decision to start doing some beauty blog posts as well as pointless ramblings. I am forever a slave to Ulta, and I love a good beauty product. So I figure what the heck, why not share them with you guys!

The first product I'm going to share is my foundation.



I've been using the Clinique Even Better foundation in that shade 01, Alabaster. I will say that I am pretty fair skinned, but not porcelain. This is the lightest shade they carry in the Even Better foundation, and it is a bit dark for me. But it blends out pretty well.

My skin is fairly dry, and can get just a bit oily in the t-zone. Other than that I did have some acne problems and with that comes acne scarring. This foundation claims to over time, perfect and reduce the appearance of dark spots, and it seems to be taking care of my acne scars!

The consistency of this foundation is quite thick, but it does blend out very easily. The coverage is absolutely gorgeous on my skin. It moisturizes where I need it, and tames the oil in other areas. It wears fairly well throughout the day without a primer.

You can find it at your Clinique counter or online for anywhere between $20-$30. It is a bit expensive for me, but my philosophy is if you're going to splurge on makeup, splurge on foundation. Think about it this way, the majority of your makeup routine is devoted to your face, right? If you take care if your skin, it will reward you. That's why I don't mind spending a bit extra on a good foundation.
