• Looxi Beauty Highlighter: Creme de la Creme 

NOTES:

• Oil control was 6 out of 10. The foundation finish was a natural-matte finish. It looked wonderful right after application and application was easy and smooth. But no real oil control. Although I looked super dewy by the end of the night, the foundation itself still looked even and smooth. It's surprising since I mixed all matte-ish foundations together, maybe I need to play with the ratio. 
• I totally took advantage of the ULTA 21 Days of Beauty Event and got the Buxom Lash mascara at 50% off today. :D Super excited for that to arrive this week. 
• Oh, it was my first time using this particular sephora eyeliner. I received this liner in my August Play Box. Umm, not my favorite. While the liner does set and stay put, it does not play well with other powders on top. To me, the color pigmentation is about medium opacity. I like to set my liner with other colors and something about the formula of this pencil just did not mesh with other powder products. Not like the NYX Slide On Glide Ons, those are awesome; I totally recommend.

You can really see the sparkle from the Devinah IDFWU eyeshadow in that ray of sun...

A portion of the well-intended mischief...

LIPS:

NOTES:

• Oil control was 7 out of 10. Surprising due to the fact that half of the mixture was of a luminous nature. Did not separate on my chin like most foundation do at the end of the day. Natural finish. Applied and set nicely. Color is a good match for me as well. First time using the Fiona Stiles luminous foundation. I also got the matte finish and will be trying that out soon. 
• First time trying the Urban Decay Perversion mascara. Applied nice and clean, no clumping. Wore without smudging or flaking and removal process was easy. No fuss when it comes to this mascara, it performed nice. However, I still prefer the look the Buxom gave me. The Perversion mascara did not wow me.

NOTES:

• Oil control was 6 out of 10, decent. Face looked super dewy by the end of the night, but no visible patchiness or places where it wore off funny. 
• First time using Lorac face products....the highlight was beautiful in texture and application, comes off as a beautiful seamlessly sheen. I am a little heavy-handed when it comes to swirling my brush into powder products so the the texture of the blush was super powdery for me (more so than I am used to), perhaps because it is so finely milled. I will have to be more careful when tapping my brush into the blush powder. Otherwise, the blush builds nicely (as it states in its name) and gives off a very natural color to the face.
