Face Of The Day: Purple If You Please

Hello lovelies, my sister is down from uni and I roped her into being my photographer for today. 

This is just a quick face of the day post using a few of the snaps she took of me this morning. 

My camera is currently in Boston by way of New York,

 which is why I have been a bit slow with the posts this week. Not to worry, I plan on putting my lil sisters smartphone to work!!!!

SmashBox Smackdown Photofinish vs YSL Touche Eclat Foundation

     Photofinish started strong, as you can see from the pictures. In  the morning my face looked semi matte after I  applied the foundation and translucent powder. I didn't get much oiliness throughout the day til about mid afternoon say 1pm when the day started to heat up a bit. 

After this time the oil set in, it was not in epic proportions but it was much more than merely a glisten. I did not blot or touch up during the day, honestly I think a bit of blot paper and an application of blot powder would have given the Photofinish + Touche Eclat enough boost to last the day. However several factors come into play here. Touche Eclat was not created/targeted for oily skinned persons such as myself, 2. I knew this and still tried it anyway.There was always the possibility of oil being an issue with or without primer. 

Afternoon pics 

     Today was another smooth application, I used the same process as yesterday to apply the primer + foundation. Tomorrow I will let you know how the SmashBox Photofinish primer measures up against the L'ancome Teint Miracle foundation.
