RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

[jemly]

welcome back to the junk drawer of random beauty thoughts and musings. it has been nearly a year, so i think it is time for a rew RT thread ! 

when i'm doing my makeup in the morning, my dog sometimes throws a fit until i move his food bowl over to where i'm sitting. i'm certainly not the diva in our relationship.

So I don't know whether River Colony Trading is the brand, or just the seller on Amazon. Either way, I spent a bunch of time searching through the options on Amazon in the fall, and this one was the best combo of quality, price, and size that I came up with.

random thought indeed:

if i were asked to list my top 3 favorite foundations, i think i could do it. (proper foundations, not including tinted moisturizers or skin tints here....only because i'd just have to think about this more haha)

1. giorgio armani luminous silk foundation. the thing i probably love about this foundation the most is how flawlessly buildable it is. i know some people have said it breaks them out, but i've never had this problem (and i break out rather easily)

2. givenchy photo perfexion fluid foundation. i lovvvve this. the only reason why it comes second to my giorgio armani, i think, is because it just doesn't last as long. i've found that when i pair it with a primer i get better longevity. it builds really wonderfully too, if needed. i find the thicker consistency (which isn't thick once blended) oddly soothing as well.

3. nars sheer glow foundation. this was my go-to for years. i haven't used it in a good while, but i'd be totally happy and confident to return to it (which i likely will some day, because siberia is a perfect match for me)

unsolicited, and random !

I love giorgio foundation but i need to get a lighter shade when i buy it again. It looks good when i apply but it oxidizes a bit infeel if i go lighter then when it oxidizes itll be perfect. I love the finish

I need to get a sample of the Armani foundation. I swatched it once and was instantly wowed by the formula.

[Melissa136]

Me too! I've never seen it in person since my local stores don't carry Giorgio Armani, but the praise it has... I'll need to head downtown one day to the flagship store and just get lost in there 😄

My fiancé found this mini docu from a famous body modification woman - she goes to Korea to explore K-Beauty (not Sephora's version 😂). I really liked this! I can relate to how everyone stares at her for her tattoos.

(can you not embed videos from mobile? Am I missing something?)

[HoneydewK]

That "stare" (not just tattoo, it's just among many other things that bring stares...) is what I dislike most about Korea... 😛

Vice news does a hilarious (and sad) series of videos about Fashion Week in various parts of the world (Brazil, Korea,Tel Aviv, I'm forgetting the rest).  It shows the ideal standards of beauty locally, and for the pageant (not always the same).  On youtube and on their site.  Not exactly the same, but worth watching!

[KatieKabam]

Thanks for the suggestion - I have really enjoyed watching some of the new Vice channel, so I will definitely check that out!

I just logged on and noticed that I've reached Hall of Famer!  😄  Thank you so much, everyone! 

Also - I woke up at 3am this morning (and could not get back to sleep!) and noticed that the Paul & Joe Beaute Summer collection was out.  Not sleeping is great for my beauty addiction, but not so good for my wallet!  😉

[TKLJ]

Yay!

[TriesToBoClassy]

woo, congrats @Milou07 😄

[fatimamummy]

Yay! Congrats.

When you finally find a perfect match foundation shade

(Thank you Tarte Amazonian clay BB Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory! You are perfect!)

[angel7594]

Yes! Victory indeed

[dalidyli]

My life was finally complete when this happened to me. Congrats!

[jemly]

Feel you Julia !

I'm in a bunch of makeup groups on FB including ones for selling makeup an I just scored a great deal!

I got:

Chanel joues contrast blushes in Rose Initial, Rose Petale and In Love, plus the Fuschia Tweed blush.  All are in great condition, however Initial and In Love are more flattened and no longer have their dome.

Also got the Chanel Empreinte de Chanel highlighter (that one which has a bunch of cool looking brown polkadots on it) and the Terre Epice bronzer... For these 6 items I paid $55! I was kinda shocked she was letting it all go for that much. 

[klbandy]

Which fb groups are you in? I've been looking to sell off some of my collection

[sabrinas]

I use High End Makeup Sales/Swaps and also Makeup Addicts- Buy Sell Swap! The first one is better imo. I also always buy and sell on reddit! Their makeupexchange subreddit is great
