It was time for me to finally find a new, full coverage foundation; one that would forever disappear my troubled skin and leave it looking healthy and oil-free. The Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 has redefined full coverage foundation. I heard raves about Milani's foundation and I know that all of their other products are just as amazing as this foundation. With minimal flaws and at a reasonable price of $10, this product does wonders for the skin.
It's always been a struggle for me to find the right full coverage foundation. With 14 shades in thecollection, there's a shade for everyone and it also has a pump. Two of the reasons I fell in love with this product at first glance.
Some other things I loved about this product, after I have been using it for the past two weeks, is that it truly is a long wearing foundation. Especially for special occasions, performances, or night outs, this foundation fails to move off the face and does not appear over-dewy, like many full coverage foundations seem to do. With that being said, it is water resistant which is a plus and very common with many full coverage foundations so that it stays in place all day long.
I also fell in love with how flawless my skin looked; having very sensitive, acne prone skin, uneven pigmentation, and the occasional dark circles after long nights of writing (or watching Netflix hehe). This product really does cover it all up. You don't even need to use a large amount of product to fully conceal everything. The trick to using this product and not feeling like you've caked on all your makeup is to use a pea sized amount and apply it with a damp beauty sponge, like the favored Beauty Blender, and even everything out for the ever-so-flawless finish. I can honestly say that this foundation looks so good in pictures...who doesn't want that?
Obviously not every single foundation is going to work for everybody and there's always something about a product that some people notice and some don't. One of the main things I noticed with this product was that it is a little hard to blend. Noting that it is a thicker formulation, it isn't something that takes away from the result of the product. As long as you use a damp sponge or really make sure you blend out the product evenly, you should be good to go and look more flawless than ever.
Another small flaw I noticed was that the shades tend to range a bit darker on the spectrum. So, I actually ended up purchasing the lightest shade they had. Sorry my paler friends!
Despite those two small things I noticed, this product has been at a daily reach when I do my makeup. If you are looking for a fuller coverage foundation I would totally recommend this one. It really does make your skin look magically healthier and does a great job staying in place all day. Have you tried this yet?

Over this past weekend, my family and I made a trip out to Larson's Family Farm, which is small, quaint, and everything you would look for in an all American pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were not picked over and they were very big and juicy! My family has paid for store bought pumpkins in the past and it just isn't the same. The day we went was one of the best days we've gone pumpkin picking; it was so crisp and felt like a beautiful, first autumn day!
This farm was not your average, commercialized "Big 'Ol Pumpkin Fair Extravaganza" patch. It just felt...real. The owners were so welcoming and seemed to have been running their family business for a very long time. They had a lot of acreage and owned a couple horses that I couldn't stop petting!
This farm had a pretty big patch of pumpkins which also included gourds (mini squash-like vegetables) every where we stepped! They also seemed to have been growing Christmas trees for the winter already. As we made our way around the rather abundant patch, we also managed to buy a pile of Indian Corn (some pretty rainbow corn that you can hang and use to decorate just about anywhere in or outside of your house) and some small gourds...that we totally forgot to bring home after we bought them. So, that just gave us another excuse to go back to the pumpkin patch again. Ha!
Once we were finished picking pumpkins, we paid for them all in their massive barn which consisted of a ton of Halloween treats! They had popcorn, apple cider, hot chocolate, candy, and of course caramel apples (which were amazing because they had home-made caramel).
I have always enjoyed picking pumpkins and it's a great time to spend with friends and family. I feel like fall isn't fall without a pumpkin picking excursion! I would totally recommend going to a pumpkin patch, preferably family owned and non-commercialized to get the best experience you can get! Plus, there will be warm, home-made goods that you can't get at those places anyway. If all else fails, supermarket pumpkins work, too! What's a fall tradition you enjoy doing?

It's rare for me to find a face mask as great as any fresh Lush face mask but, boy do I have news for you all! I've done it. One of the best and easy sheet masks I have tried in a long time. I have always been a follower and user of Yes To products and when I was at the store the other day, I strolled upon a kiosk full of these Yes To face masks. They had many different types of sheet masks to choose from; I choose the Yes To Tomatoes Clear Skin mask for my oily and acne prone skin.
Infused with tomato extracts and salicylic acid, this mask does wonders for my sensitive skin. I'm a sucker for anything beauty related that's great for making my skin glow and feel amazingly soft.
Like all sheet masks, this one is very easy to use. After I cleanse my face, I pull the mask apart and place it on my face! So simple. It only takes about 10 minutes to fully react to the skin and all you have to do is wipe off some of the excess product when you're done (which I don't mind all that much).
I used this right before I got my period and I think it really did prevent bigger breakouts from appearing. Especially on those nights when you want to pamper but, you're a lazy oaf like me, this is really convenient to use. It can also be great to do at a party or a sleepover with your best buds!
If you love the other Yes To products like the facial wipes, you'll love their new masks. I might have to go pick up all of the other ones that they just released. Have you tried these out yet?
