Mini Target Haul

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

If there is one thing I don’t need it is more makeup from Target.  If there is one thing I love to buy it is more makeup from Target.  Yesterday Target had a 25% off deal on beauty items.  I was already planning to pick up a few things, so I was pretty excited about the extra 25% off.

If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know that I love the Maybelline Better Skin foundation.  The formula is awesome and the wear time is amazing. (click HERE to see my full review of it.)  I just need to point out that the difference is huge between the shades Porcelain 10 and Ivory 15!  Ivory is much to dark for my winter skin and even at my fairest, 10 is still way too light.  That is why I also picked up the NYC bronzer.  I have heard good things about it, so hopefully it will work out for me when I use them together.

I already know that I love the Aussie 3 minute miracle as well as the biore deep pore charcoal cleanser. I am also repurchasing this elf duo eyeshadow.  It is a bit powdery, but I really like the way that the colors look on me.  Plus for 25% off, I couldn’t pass it up.

I am planning on doing some reviews on my recent hauls.  I know I personally like to see what people haul, but I also like to hear the review of the products after they have been used for a little while.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation Review ~Week One of Three

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment
SUPERSTAY BETTER SKIN FOUNDATION IN CLASSIC IVORY
Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation

While I did receive the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation complimentary for testing purposes, I will always give my complete and honest opinion.  Here is my first update on my week one of the #betterskinchallenge.

According to the Maybelline website Superstay Better Skin™ Foundation is a “Longwear foundation that improves skin’s appearance every minute you’re in it. With the antioxidant power of Actyl C, a more durable form of vitamin C. For all skin types. Medium to full coverage. Superstay Better Skin Foundation gives an all-day flawless coverage and better-looking skin in 3 weeks. The foundation reduces the appearance of spots, dullness and uneveness and gives you a brighter, more even and stress-free skin.”

That is a lot of claims for a foundation!  So I am very interested to see what results I get.  Who wouldn’t want brighter, more even and stress-free skin!

My skin type is fair to medium, normal to combo skin. Since it is the summer I am a bit darker (if you want to call it that ;-)) than I naturally would be in the winter and spring.   As I mentioned, I received this foundation for consideration so I didn’t choose the shade myself.  I was sent the shade Porcelain 10, which would probably be my winter shade. I have to admit, because of the wrong shade, at first it was a bit of a struggle for me to figure out exactly how to make this foundation work. After a few days of using the wrong shade, I went to CVS and asked if I could exchange it for a different shade. (side note: CVS is so great about returning any beauty products that you are not 100% happy with even if it has been opened and used a bit.)   I exchanged it for the shade classic ivory 20. Now that I have the correct shade,  I have really been liking it.

I have been wearing it every day for about a week and a half. While I don’t actually have any major skin issues to begin with, I do have some spots and uneveness that I would love to see reduced.   In the last 10 days that I have been wearing the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation, I can’t say that I have seen any major changes to my skin, but I will continue to test it out for the full three weeks and see if there are any overall improvements.
