UGloGirl full-size foundations

Got two full sizes of UGloGirl's foundation. I love the color match and the smooth, natural finish so I got a backup. The packaging is so cute and girly!

Here's a closeup of the foundations:

Adorned With Grace roadtest

AWG passed the Camera Test! I used AWG's foundation and rice powder last night for a dinner out with friends, and a lot of pictures were taken. The photos look great! No white cast, very minimal shine (good oil control), smooth and even-looking, and best of all, it matched my neck seamlessly.

eBay MAC mini-haul

Scored a couple of MAC items off eBay:

Lipstick in Soft Lust: Tan with white pearl (Lustre)

Lipglass in 3N: Neutral brown with gold and pink pearl (Cream)

Charm Travel Brush Pro Set

My Charm Travel Brush Pro Set, purchased from Beauty and Minerals on a pre-buy, arrived today. They look so pretty! Now I don't have to jam my full-sized brushes into a small case when I have to bring them along to get ready for an event later at night. I do have a brush set which I bought from Sephora, but that one consists of only 5 brushes and I often need more than that. So I end up bringing that 5-brush kit, plus the full-size brushes I need in another case, plus the bag containing the makeup I'll be using... which is kind of a hassle. This new set takes care of my problem because it has practically all the brushes I need, packed in a space-saving container. So now I'll only need to bring two cases -- this all-in-one kit and the one with my makeup. Definitely a good buy!

Hong Kong mini-haul + MY FIRST MSF!!!

I am now the proud owner of a Mineralize Skinfinish! Yes, my very first MSF! A big thank you to my aunt who got it for me (together with a 222 brush) on a business trip to Hong Kong.

It's in Soft and Gentle, described on the MAC site as a "gilded peach bronze."

Adorned With Grace samples

Today was my last day of testing my Adorned With Grace samples. I'm done!

Verdict: Beautiful! I love the finish; not too matte nor too glowy. Covers imperfections without looking thick or cakey or mask-like. Perfect color match; I don't have to mix. HG/hoard material for me! Truly FS-worthy. As soon as AWG announces a sale, I'm buying!
