Sephora Haul and Birthday Shout-out!

Before anything else, I want to greet

my ever so kind

friend,

Nikki Tiu of Askmewhats,

a Happy Happy Birthday!

She just turned 31, and she's fabulous than ever!

Now for my tiny haul from Sephora!

I got a Cargo blu_ray bronzer, which is on sale for $15!

I really like this bronzer, it looks natural on my skin and it has very understated shimmers so it doesn't look flat. I also love how finely milled the powder is, and definitely suitable for high definition camera, because it really blends in the skin so nicely and seamlessly.

Sephora Platinum Brush #55

This is called the "airbrush brush" by Sephora.

And I couldn't agree any less!

Indeed it's airbrush in a brush!

I've been lemming for this brush for a long, long time and I'm happy I got one!

I think this will topple my Shu uemura #18 brush in the top spot of my favorite foundation brushes. Let's wait see... I'll give an update on this!

MakeUp ForEver HD Foundation in 120.

Last year when this was released in the Philippines, I tried this in the store, but I didn't liked it at all. It looked streaky and the shade that the MA applied on me looked too orangey and dark! So I really stayed away from this foundation. But me being a believer of second chances, I wanted to try this foundation again, and I'm planning to review different HD foundations on my blog. But our MUFE stores here doesn't have stock of it every time I visit. I wanted to try it to see if I would like it if I used another shade that really matches my skin, and if I apply it myself. Thanks to sis Jheng of Abubots, I was apply to try it again. She gave a generous amount of sample of the HD Foundation. She was asking me if I like the shade 117 or 120, but since my skin is slightly darker than hers and her shade was 117, I asked for 120. And LO and BEHOLD! 120 is a perfect match! I have never seen a foundation that matched my skin so perfectly! So that alone, I was sold! And with the sample that sis JHENG gave me, I was able to use different techniques. I liked it so I decided to purchase one for myself.

Last is Rosebud Salve. I just got this to replenish my dwindling stock of this.

That's all folks!

Wait for my Battle of the HD Foundations post!

Now that I have the MUFE HD Foundation, I'm just waiting for my Revlon Photoready to arrive which may arrive next week!

 The Battle of HD Foundations will compare 4 HD foundations: Kryolan High Definition Mattifying Foudation, Coastal Scents HD Foundation, MUFE HD Foundation, and Revlon PhotoReady Foundation. I would like to add the MAC Face and Body Foundation, but our MAC stores here doesn't carry it! And I don't want to buy online because I'm not sure what is my shade. Does anybody have the MAC Face and Body Foundation, and wouldn't mind sending me a sample? It would be great if I could review it too, since it's one of the widest used foundation that claims to be suitable for HD.
