Bouquet of Bloopers Take One

I was filming another video for you Frockers and while I was editing it, I realized...well I realized a lot of things. Number 1, I make a lot of weird faces when I talk. We'll call it charming and leave it at that. Number 2, I have a real potty mouth sometimes...and number three, I LOVE MAKING BLOOPER REELS!

I thought I'd share this with you guys before I post the real video (an e.l.f. moisturizing lipstick and shimmer gloss review). I actually like this one better.

                             
Happy Wednesday Frockers!        
                                                                        

Dermablend Professional Cover Creme Review

Dermablend Professional Cover Creme in Yellow Beige (c/o)
Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder in Bisque

Pros

- Full coverage foundation, but doesn't feel heavy on my skin.

- Dewy finish without making my skin look oily. It actually made my skin look luminous!

- Good staying power, lasted all day through a variety of activities. It does rub off a bit if you use a tissue.
- Has SPF 30 sun protection.

Cons

- Didn't make my boxcar scars disappear. Although short of surgery, I'm not sure what would. It hid them pretty decently.
- Dry or flaky skin does become slightly more pronounced.

- Good staying power. It's a little hard to wash off! May not be the best for a quick, easy, everyday foundation.

I would like to mention also that the colour wasn't quite right for me. You can kind of see the colour of my face doesn't perfectly match the colour of my neck by the end of the first half of the video. It was a bit too dark and orange for my skin tone, so it's hard to judge the colour quality of this product accurately. It doesn't look too bad in the photos because I used a mineral loose powder a few shades lighter than my skin tone as the setting powder, which helped to correct the colour a lot. Still, it may work better for me as a summer foundation when I have a bit more of a tan. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty good full-coverage foundation.

And many thanks to NailPolishCanada for the fun collaboration!

P.S. Sorry for the bad video quality! I've never made a video before, can you tell.....
