NOTE: I bought a bunch of new brushes to try out with all my new makeup!

Day 6
My face is smooth as silk and I’m pimple-free! My face still isn’t dry, I’ve actually gotten compliments on how my skin looks flawless as if I had it airbrushed.
I’m getting used to the whole makeup routine in the morning so I’m not as displeased with that as I used to be — remember, I’m used to not doing anything to get ready in the morning besides brushing my teeth and washing my face.
Day 7
I decided to try out Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer in addition to my usual makeup regimen just to see what effect a primer would have. Well let me tell you this particular one goes on smooth as silk — it comes out of the tube as a liquid-gel then as you put it on your face it finishes to a powdery feel — very nice!
Regarding one of my new found favorite makeup brands, I would like to say with 100% certainty that I would recommend this to my friends + family. I have already started telling my friends about it, I even gave one of them the free full color catalog that came with my order (they are normally $1.50 if you order it by itself).
I’ve only had one zit this whole one-week trial and I believe it is just because of stress and eating lots of bad things – we have been remodeling our kitchen and have had to eat out EVERY single meal, it’s ruff!
Conclusion
I really hope they start selling this stuff in stores like Sephora or Ulta as I’d rather go to a store to buy it than have to wait a week or two for the stuff to arrive (I have the type of personality that requires things I want to be immediately available to me, thank you Amazon Prime!).
As I said before, I would highly recommend this product to my friends + family. My only thing I have that may be considered negative for some people is that it doesn’t really control oil as well as I thought it would. Perhaps my expectations were too high to begin with but from what I read on the website this makeup is supposed to provide a matte look because it’s supposed to control oil a bit. I have combination skin – oily at my t-zone and normal everywhere else – and this makeup only looks matte for about an hour or two and then my forehead goes back to being an oil slick. Who knows, it could also be the terrible fluorescent lighting at the office 🙂
