fotd: spiced chocolate, haul, mini review

Spiced Chocolate fotd;
Today was my cousin, April's baby shower! It's a boyyy! Babe and I got really cute onesies for him, unfortunately I dont have pictures because we went and got it right before we went to the party. BTW she's naming him 'Brad Riley'. I cant wait to meet my nephew, she's due in early July. Yayyy! Ok Moving on, I didnt know what to do makeup wise. And I remembered that I just got the spiced chocolate quad from the cult of cherry collection (i know, so late huh). I love that quad, the colors remind me of arabian style makeup. I used the three dark colors and im pretty satisfied with the outcome. I didnt go picture crazy this time because we still had to get a gift. Im using a new foundation which I will be mentioning about right after this.

Mini Review;
As I mentioned earlier, Im using a new foundation. Its the Revlon Colorstay Foundation Combination/Oily Skin formula in Toast. I've researched and read so many good reviews about it so I decided to try it out for myself. Before this I was using my MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC40 buuuttt after longwear my face gets really oily and shiny. Ewww! I like that it had full coverage though. After that I tried Chanel Mat Lumiere in Intense Naturel 50. This would have been thee perfect foundation for me if they had a little bit of a darker shade. The MUA told me that it matches me so I got it. I dont know, maybe it was just the lighting at Macy's that made it look as if its my shade or she doesnt know her shit. But after a few uses I noticed that it was too light for me. I still used it of course because first of all, I paid $40 for that teeny bottle and secondly it wasnt that obvious But I still felt insecure about it soooo I went foundation hunting (lol). I had my eyes on the Revlon one for quite a while but I still had my doubts. So I finally caved in and I told myself 'its a bit pricey for a drugstore brand but hellloooo you just wasted $40 on something you werent satisfied with. whats another $15. Who knows this just might be the one' lol. Well I got it and overall I love it.

In my own opinion.

Pros: Stays matte and fresh looking, lasts long, transfer resistant, great coverage, a variety of shades to choose from, easy to apply.

Cons: Glass bottle with no pump (but maybe any pump will work), Dries fast so you'd have to blend fast, a bit pricey for a drugstore brand.
