Wow, I bought a lot of stuff this month. Normally I don't but I got a couple gift cards for Christmas and put them to good use. I was also on the hunt for a good foundation. In fact I even returned a foundation I tried this month! Which was the Pur Minerals one I bought at the beginning of this month. I'm going to run through these products and give you my thoughts and let you know if I love it or hate it.

Foundations:
I LOVE the new Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth foundation. I loved the old one as well, and I will say that the new formulation is darker than the old. The old foundation in 110 Porcelain matched me so perfect and the new one is a little dark. But I manage. This is my new every day foundation.
I also really like the Rimmel 25 Hour Lasting Finish foundation. It's nothing extraordinary. It does last a really long time on me, though. Again, this foundation is a little too dark for my extremely fair skin even with the lightest shade.
I splurged on this Becca foundation. I heard such great things on it and figured I would give it a try. So frustrating because AGAIN, the lightest shade is too dark for me. I really do like this foundation though, but it will be more of a summer foundation for me. My skin is too dry for me to wear it right now.

Concealers:
I wanted to try something to hide my dark under eyes, because I have such a hard time really brightening it up under there. I gave the NYX under eye concealer a try. It does the job but it's very drying under my eyes. Probably another product for the summer.
NYX HD Concealer is my favorite. Along side with my Maybelline Fit Me concealer but this one is amazing. It does glorious things under my eyes!

Skin Care:
Not a huge fan of First Aid Beauty like I thought I would be. But it's alright. Just a regular gentle cleanser.
The never ending search for a great daily moisturizer will never end I swear. I really do like this one I got by Kate Somerville, but it's just not enough. My dry skin sucks it up like you would not believe and I still end up putting an even more intense moisturizer over top of it.
I absolutely love Philosophy's Exfoliating Wash. I love pretty much anything by Philosophy, though. They never fail and they are great for my sensitive skin.
I thought I was a fan of Boscia's cleansing oil, but then I decided I really don't like it.
I have yet to try the Peter Thomas Roth Peel. I'm too scared to try new products these days because my skin breaks out so damn easily.

Misc.
You guys, I bought this 3 in 1 Total Hydration Chapstick at Target and it is seriously the best chapstick I've ever used. I have this horrible problem on my lips where they are extremely dry and even when they aren't dry, they are peely and flakey and so gross. I cannot stand it. Anyway, I use this morning and night and I have had the smoothest lips I've ever had since. I'm going to buy every flavor they have and keep them in every crevice and corner. I'm not joking.
I have always used really cheap dry shampoo and although I've always wanted to try Batiste, I never felt like spending $8 on it. Well folks, I'm never going back to my $3 Suave dry shampoo again. This stuff is magic.
