I made Popin' Cookin' Mochi

Hey! So I know as a blogger I am one of the most IRREGULAR... but I'm making plans to change that!

I've decided that every other week I will post written posts on here, so twice a month. Anything more than that will be bonus. The other week when I don't post I will be making YouTube Videos 

Since last week I made a full blog post about the Dior Star Fluid Foundation this post is extra and, this week was YouTube. I made a video with my close friend Luke! We made the Kracie Kitchen, Poppin Cookin Odango / Mochi DIY kit. It was a lot of fun! I've made these candies before but not this kit. It was also kind of gross


I would really appreciate it if you checked out the video, commented, and subscribed! The content is  different than my blogger and I would really like to continue to share more about myself online, and different parts of myself.

As a little teaser for next weeks blog post I have some photos to share I will be reviewing the NEW Maybelline Poreless Foundation. I know I usually do higher end products, and I definitely associate high price with high quality but this foundation is quite good for a cheap price!




I didnt touch up my skin in these photos, and I took them after 6 hours of wear! Okay I hopefully I can stick to my schedule!

Dior Star Skin Foundation Review

I am forever in search of the HOLY GRAIL foundation. The foundation that gives you flawless coverage, lightweight and that doll like, dewy skin perfection. I know that's A LOT to ask from a foundation but I think I've found it! or at least the closest I've come across. I've easily tried over 15 kinds of foundation and this one really stands out to me. 


Product Info

Brand: Dior
Name: Dior Star Fluid Foundation
SPF: 30
Amount: 30mL/1 oz
Price: $50 USD

Packaging

Colour
I used No. 20 light beige. This is good for people who are slightly pale with a warm/yellow undertone. It does oxidize a little bit unfortunately. 



These were taken in natural lighting 

Coverage

Now, I love this foundation I think it is lightweight and perfect coverage. I only use one layer and most of my imperfections are covered. 


So here is a comparison with the foundation. The pores on my nose are immediately erased, the pimple on my upper lip is hidden and the uneven skin tone/old scars on my cheeks are evened out. 

Overall:
Now this is not a full coverage foundation. You can still see some scars poking through a little on my cheeks. I like this though, I feel like it gives a better-than-your-skin look while still being natural. I don't mind having imperfections. I just want to minimize them.

My only real problem with this foundation is that it doesn't stay on the skin for very long. I think the longest it lasts before it starts smudging or being rubbed off is ~5 hours. I also don't recommend this for people with oily skin.

I love this foundation though and with the steep price tag, I better! If you want to indulge yourself a little and buy a high end foundation I really recommend this one. They do have a wide variety of colours, though if you are super pale you might be out of luck, though their deeper skin tone range is pretty good I think. 

Have you tried this foundation? Have a foundation you want me to try? Have an AMAZING foundation you recommnend? Let me know in the comments please!! I am always in search of ~*The One*~ this foundation is great but I don't know if it's the ultimate one.
