Paul & Joe Spring 2017 - Information

I can't believe that I missed this one.  I made a point to wait to write about summer products until after I finished writing about spring products, and I totally forgot that I had these pictures waiting to be shared.

Since highlighting is all the rage these days (which I love!), I picked out the three new highlighting products* that Joe Fresh offers, and am sharing my thoughts with you.

Current Makeup Routine - Dealing with Skin Problems

It's been a little while since I've posted a makeup review, or a face of the day - and there's a reason for that.

Ever since the last week of October, I've had this mystery allergic reaction developing on my face.  It's been freaking me out, because it was similar to the reaction that I had when I found out that I was allergic to benzyl peroxide.  But this time the reaction was constantly changing - super dry one day, moist *ugh, I know we hate that word* the next, patchy, bumpy, UGH!  Of course, I want to pile on the colour correcting makeup, but I know that I have to be very sparing with my coverage, as to not anger my skin any further.

I didn't want to completely hide the allergic reaction, because that would require A LOT of makeup, and could have resulted in making the reaction worse.  My goal has been to make it look like I'm just trying to cover up a bit of a break-out, and not a create a caked-on, full fledged "my skin is rejecting itself" look.

So here's what I have been using to disguise the red-ness.

Almay Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer - My only attempt at balancing out the red-ness.  This primer is my one and only, and never lets me down.  It applies with a creamy consistency, and although it doesn't make the discolouration in my skin disappear, it gives my skin a great starting point.
