January Foundation Project: Day 7

It occurred to me that I should do swatches of the foundations that I am testing this month to give you all a comparison.


1. Joah Truely Yours Natural Finish Foundation Drop - JLF125 Classic Ivory
2. Purlisse Perfect Glow BB Cream - Light
3. Sephora Matte Perfection Tinted Moisturizer - 02 Silk
4. Catrise HD Liquid Coverage Foundation 010 Light Beige
5. Kokie Full Cover Foundation (likely discontinued?) - 20W
6. Candid Natural Finish AntiPolution Foundation - 110 (A good shade match, and my most loved foundation)
7. IpKn Moist and Firm BB Cream - Light
8. Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation - Ivory L2
9. Photoready Candid Glow Moisture Glow Foundation 110 
10. Il Makiage Woke Up Like This Flawless Base Foundation - 040
11. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - Vanilla 02

 I actually found 2 more foundations when I was going through my things that I will add to the list later.. the Kosas Tinted Oil Foundation and the Dermacol Foundation. I am also missing a swatch of the CYO Lifeproof foundation, the Pacifica and the Infallible foundation.. maybe I can add them later.

 It also occurred to me that I never really posted a photo of my skin without the foundation, so here it is.
As you can see, I have a fair amount of redness and discoloration.

 On to today's foundation!

 Today I tried to Joah Truely Yours Natural Finish Foundation Drop - JLF125 Classic Ivory I like the idea of a really thin foundation because I feel like it would sit on my skin better considering that I have some texture and I don't like a cakey finish. This one had some good reviews and the price was great at around $9.00 or so if I remember right.




I applied this the same way as all of the other foundations I have been trying - normal sunscreen, no primer and a blender sponge that I really like.  Right from the beginning, it was clear that this one wasn't going to sit on my skin well at all.  Not only did it look really textured, it had the ability to not cover that well and look cakey at the same time.
Wow.  Really not good.  It didn't get much better as the day went on and ended up gathering strangely in different areas.  This is a hard pass for me!

How I screwed up - January Review

I started out this month with a specific goal in mind with specific rules. I am not happy to say that I broke all of the rules. I thought about keeping all of this to myself, but in the interest of transparency and the fact that this blog is mostly for me, I am going to spill the beans and walk through all of my thoughts on what I did. I feel that, if anyone is actually reading this, knowing that I didn't waltz through this experiment perfectly is probably more useful than being dishonest about it. Here is a list of all of the things that I bought in January - sanctioned or not. Makeup/Beauty Purchases: 1. Tati Beauty Sponge things - I am happy with my current method of applying makeup and foundation and my husband just bought me the fanciest brush that I own. The total of this purchase was $22.72.   I didn't need this. It isn't replacing anything that I have used up. This was 100% a purchase that went against my rules, especially considering that January was suppos...

January Foundation Project: Day 14

It isn't January anymore, but the project goes on.  I should have three more days including this one then I will talk about my February Project. I have liked powder foundations since I bought a compact of the Body and Soul Powder Foundation about 15 years ago. This has long since been discontinued and I have always missed it. I have also tried several powder foundations trying to get something similar. This powder foundation is the closest I have found and I really do like it. This is the Aquasurance Compact Foundation in ACF101 Ivory .  I already know that I like this foundation and I plan to repurchase it in the future, but I have been using this mostly on the weekends and for touchups. I wanted to give this a try as a workday foundation.  To do so, I sort of kept Taylor Wynn's Powder Foundation tutorial in mind and opted to use the Tati Beauty Blendiful for application because powder puff type applicators work really well with this type of product (More on the B...

January Empties

I made some progress on my stuff this month, but as you will notice, there is only one makeup product in this batch.  These are the things that I legitimately used up and are true empties: Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Polish: I like having a scrub for my weekly soak, and I like Soap and Glory products, but I really don't like the standard Soap and Glory scent. I would consider getting this again in a different scent and I like that Walgreens frequently has sales on this product. EVO Salty Dog: A salt spray is one of the staple products that I like to have around to get the texture in my hair after I wash it.  I like this spray. The scent is light and it has a pretty good hold. I have used better salt sprays, but this one doesn't dry my hair out or leave it sticky which is about what I am looking for in a salt spray. I may buy this again when I work through the sprays that I have, but I would like to find something less expensive and easier to get. Solid and Strip...
