January Foundation Project: Day 8

Today I tried out the Kokie Full Cover Foundation in 20W.  This one comes in a really pretty bottle, is priced well at around $10.00 and has a consistency that I like.  It is also cruelty free.  Unfortunately, I am pretty sure this one is discontinued which sort of sucks because I ended up liking it pretty well.



This blended out well, had just the right amount of "glow" on my skin and wore pretty well throughout the day.  This was a pretty nice color match too! 

I had two (workable) complaints. First, the smell. It has a weird artificial apple smell that I was not a fan of, but it went away pretty quickly.  Second, the coverage was a little heavier than I would ideally like.  That could be worked around by mixing in a little tinted moisturizer, applying it more lightly or something along those lines.  I would have likely picked this to go onto the next round (more on that later) if it were not for the fact that this isn't going to be available much longer.



I will, however, hang onto this bottle.  The foundations that are not working at all are getting donated. I am going to keep this one until I run out of it.

January Foundation Project: Day 11

Facebook made me buy it!  Facebook makes me buy really stupid stuff. I had to completely ban myself from buying anything at all from Facebook because almost all of it comes from China (I am looking at you too small dog bed!).  This is not from China and it is probably a perfectly fine foundation, but it wasn't for me. Today I am testing the IL Makiage Woke Up Like This foundation in 040.  This foundation claims to have a lightweight texture, matte finish, buildable medium to high coverage, be cruelty free and have some good skin care like ingredients.  I don't remember if I did the shade finder quiz or if I just picked it, but I bought 040 and I think I would have been better off with 035 or 030.. this is just a little dark on me even though it looks ok in the photo.   The coverage on this is ok and about the level I like.  I have found that I am really pretty solidly in the medium coverage camp.  I am not a huge fan of the textu...

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...
