MY TAKE

click image to enlarge

Luminoso is what I've been wearing lately, it's like a peachy with golden tones to it. Definitely will give you a glow if you are like me who likes glow on your cheeks. The shimmers are not really visible.

Berry Amore is medium mauve with  gold shimmers in it. I like wearing this with my mauve lip gloss and its perfect. This might be too deep with light skin as for me not that too dark. 

 

It comes with a mirror when you flip the bottom part of the compact with a small brush which I don't wanna recommend using it, better use your own brush, well as for me I don't like most of the brush that comes with the product, not as good as the real ones.

The Packaging

I don't really care about the packaging, it has a golden rim which I don't mind. With a drug store product that beats all the blushes in the store and the quality is compared to department store brands is enough for me for an affordable price. You are actually paying less for the quality alone, if it would be a high end one, the better packaging it would be.

Pigmentation is awesome, it can be use dry or wet, wet for more pigmentation and deeper color. It last for my 8 hour shift at work of course with a primer and foundation on.

Swatches above is taken in a natural light, this is how it looks like on my skin tone NC 37 to 40 for reference.....it can be bold if you want more pigmentation

I would definitely buy some more of the remaining shades available, good addition to your stash, worth it.

I am keeping an eye on Corallina and Tera Sole for my bronzer this summer. I have lots of blushes that I can't use  for a life time. It sucks to live nearby so many stores,  plus ULTA and MARSHALLS are just like 20 minutes drive where I live now, actually newly open stores here in my place,  shoootttt the only way I don't spend on my day off is when I sleep all day.....how about you? what you do to not make your self spend for unnecessary things like these? tell me fellaaaasss... ^__^ thanks for taking time to read.....

April is my birthday month so I was thinking what would I get for my self but its not a tough decision for a frugal like me because I am a sucker of purse.I waited actually for the 30% off in store purchase at Coach outlet to get the one on my wish list on the right side bar. Not exactly what I want but I decided to get this kind instead, why? because the strap of this is leather and the wish list is cloth, last long if its leather in my opinion. Besides I don't care because I will use this mainly for summer vacation.

Plus I love the color, I think its khaki but not too dark...I was trying to research the name of it but heck can't find it. If you know the name of this purse I would love to know.....

This is a cross body purse or the swing pack kind. I like the way its versatile, you can use it as a shoulder bag also because it has the adjustable button on the side of the strap.

That's how it looks like on the shortest way, but in the store its like the both ends meet on the other side and it looks smaller but I can't figure out how to do it, deymmmm, teach me Ok LOL

That's the receipt! this is 50% off plus 30% off of all the items in store that day, so went down to $87.49 ONLY! I saved $190.51 from $278 regular price......This is my hubby's present to me on my birthdayyyyy...he never knew anything about Coach purse then, I need to teach him LOL, girls you need to teach your man the things you need or excuse me the things you want LOL....besides he should be lucky because I picked up the cheaper ones......

As a present for my self, I bought a wallet....this is my first coach wallet you know....I don't know why I chose this color but I think its cute....

That's how it looks like on the other side.......the color of the lining looks like my lip gloss on the day I bought this, I didn't notice until hubby told me haha.....

Love the style, the leather lining and all, they have the cloth ones but I don't like it, what's the point of buying coach when you don't go after the good quality leather anyways...

The good part, regular price at $218 and its on the 50% off rack PLUS 30% off in store purchase, I paid $52.49 for it, sweet deal??? Oh yeah..... I love bargains, makes me happpppyyyyyy

So I went today at Nordstrom to check out the opening of Wonder Woman from MAC. I got there by 10:30ish and I thought I would expect crowd, but not yet! Nordstrom opens at 10am so I thought I can't take any pictures or even swatch at all. I am so lucky!  though I just drive 12 to 15 minutes away from my house to reach the mall. First thing I noticed is the gigantic packaging of the MSF, my gawddd this is the biggest compact I've ever seen so far in makeup products, almost the size of my palm! I really reacted and laugh and the SA was laughing with me LOL.

So as a frugal shopper I just grab the Lip glass in EMANCIPATION and the BLUSH DUO in MIGHTY APHRODITE.

The only babies I got. (sigh).... my wallet is already empty LOL, but wait I want the MARQUISE lippie, its really pretty! thinking if I'm going back to get it.

Look how big is the Lipglass? geezzzz  the wand I mean, it's like you can use it to poke your biatch friend LOL.......

That's all for now, my swatches will be in a few, as I still need to do my house work.
