My Review:

If you are looking for "full coverage", this is a great foundation to get. It covers everything, and gives you an almost "porceline doll" look. I would not say it's "ultralight" though, as it definitely feels like you have something on, but that's a small price to pay for the flawless look you get. It's definitely immediate coverage with a matte finish as it advertises. I love it, and I recommend it!

There are however two drawbacks to this foundation..

*It dries too quickly (I advice working your face in sections so you get ample application time)

*The bottle is HORRIBLE! It is super messy, and you waste alot of product.

Retails at around $55.00

Black/Purple Ombre long hair

I've gotten a lot of comments/questions about my hair, mostly how I got it this way, and how much did I pay?...so today I'm going to break it all down for you just in case you are thinking about going ombre.

So a few months ago I decided to do a purple ombre look to my hair. As an artist, you know I'm all about color, and change. I figured it's just hair, and if I screwed it up, it would just grow back. I was smart enough however, not to try to attempt this myself lol, I went to a professional.

My hair already had long layers, so then it was teased from around the 1/2 way point to the bottom, then it was bleached to take the color (black) out from the teased part, then it was washed, and colmed out before the actual color was applied. Then she applied purple on all the teased part, and fushia sparadically throughout my hair. After everything set for around 45 minutes, it was rinsed out. Finally, it was dried, and styled. This was the end result.

• actual time start to finish for long layered hair was 4 1/2 hours
• actual costs with special shampoo to keep it vibrant, tip, and process was $450.00

Was it worth it? No!  realistically, after about 4 weeks, the color fades even with the special shampoo and you are now at a lavender point before it fades out to light lavender to grey.

Lesson learned!
