I was watching a youtube video and the Ben Nye Banana Powder was mentioned. I remember seeing it here, so I did some research.. It's got rave reviews! 

Story: I never wore makeup when I was in highschool and as an undergrad. I used to put baby talc powder on my face to freshen up. It's white, looks ghostly on my medium gold-tan Asian skin (if I apply too much). Up to now, I still have a bottle of talc powder on hand -- it's very effective in mattifying my face, and removing the oil and shine. I use it sparingly tho, cause it makes my face unnaturally whitish. I have the impression that the Ben Nye powder is similar -- but tinted/translucent, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm confident that it'll mattify, the main ingredient is talc. And I think the Banana shade is perfect for my skin tone.. I'm excited to use it to highlight, etc. But I'm probably gonna use it as an all-over face powder, as well, probably just use a little bit.

In summary, I was sold and got my 3 oz powder from Makeupmania for $12 plus $3 shipping..

This sounds crazy but I think I may be allergic to it. Everytime I've worn the eyeshadows my eyes had been irritated which is weird because I usually only have allergies to some metals. I haven't been using any other new products.

What sandals? I'm shopping for good, new ones. Regretfully, these Cole Haan sandals agree with my feet but not my wallet!

MUSQ cosmetics

Creme Foundation in Sorrento. 

I love this foundation. It is nourishing and not a flat colour.

Nothing specifically by name, but something that looks as close to these as possible:



They look so basic, but I can't find anything like them. :/ Been to Shoedazzle, Ebay, Amazon, and a few other on and off sites. Been to H&M, Forever21, and other stores IRL too. No such luck. :/

That is really weird! Maybe you're allergic to a mica in a few of the shades. Were you using champagne or nude?

Among other things, I picked up a Beauty Blender dupe at Walgreens today.  I plan on using it to apply Benetint/Posietint - it stains my fingers (and won't come off!) when I use my fingers to apply it and I'm not good enough with brushes to get it to apply the way I want when I use a brush.  Has anyone else used a Beauty Blender or dupe for something like this?

I used almost all of the shades already lol. It's too pretty for me to return though! I'm going to try another primer and see if that helps.

Are you allergic to carmine?  I've read about people's eyelids getting irritated when eyeshadows contain carmine....

I'm not sure. I've never been irritated by eyeshadows before - but I've only used Urban Decay and Nars eyeshadows.

Nice haul(s)!  I LOOOOOOVE the Tarte LipSurgence Skintuitive Lip Tint.  I've been wearing it instead of my usual lip stains lately.  I love how hydrating it is and how long the color lasts.  Sometimes, the color is a bright pink.  Other times, it's a more subdued dusty rose.  I also like how, when it starts to wear off, my lips don't have little lip stain tiger stripes.  I have 3 of the Skintuitive Lip Tints and ordered 3 other Tarte lip colors today.  I've wanted to try Exposed, but I have Lucky and don't really like it.  The opacity of Lucky kind of put me off the matte lip colors.  I've seen swatches of Exposed and it looks pretty close to my natural lip color as well.  Since you're getting a second one, I might pick one up later.  I have about an hour to kill tomorrow afternoon and might as well stop off at Sephora, right?

 This is the color of my Skintuitive today. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
