ok, so mineral makeup just hit France. sephora is selling the BE get started kit, and since it's new you have a free makeover. i had to try it (*innocent girl*
), so i just went there and played the dumb girl who doesn't know what it is
a nice sephora saleswoman explained how it worked and how to apply it (though thanks to Thais i already knew that lol).
she first applied the foundation, and i was surprised how my face looked. usually with liquid foundation i always look a bit cakey, but it was just natural, me with an even face, without my red acne scars. yeepee ! (though she used the big brush from the kit, not the kabuki).
then she took the warmth thing, and applied it all over my face, blending it with the kabuki brush. she said it would give me a healthy glow. under the neons it was looking good, i was really enjoying it. she finished with the mineral veil. i saw her put the brushes back on the counter without washing them... ew !
i went out already plotting a strategy to convince my mom in buying me a foundation as a birthday present.
one hour later i was home and jumping on my feet, lalala i have dad's camera, i can take a pic and post it on
MuT, lalalala, and looked at my face in a mirror. eeek ! i was orange ! like real orange, as if i was painted with bronzer !
and i dared ask my mom how i was looking. worse ! i had bronzer only on my face so it was a big contrast with my neck (which a shade lighter than my face).
it was itching around my eyes, but i don't know if it's my allergies or something else.
so now, i don't know. i love how i look with a mineral foundation, so it's one more reason to buy one, but i'm not sure i'll invest in bare minerals.
but it was a good experience, lol, i should never go near a sephora, i swear each time i see the black&white logo i have to go inside and touch/smell something.
