Back in mid-summer I experienced one of my worst acne breakouts. It happens to be when I did this full face look. The downfall is you are about to see my face looking absolutley terrible. The good side is you can get a very good idea what the coverage of the CC Cream is like. This prep face is when I had just switched to using Murad's Acne System and now my skin is looking great. In a month I saw great results and now some past acne scars are fading so I plan on sharing my results with the Murad Acne System shortly. Here's a breakdown of the products used and individual photos: Prepped Face:   - Washed face with Murad Clarifying Cleanser. - Applied Murad Acne Clearing Solution to entire face and jaw line. - Applied Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15. I don't normally use this but I thought it might work well to control my oil under the CC Cream. - Applied e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer to my eyelids. - Applied e.l.f. Hydrating Under Eye Primer under my eyes and to my dark ...

After my not-so-great experience with the Cover FX BB Gel I decided to try their CC Cream instead. I also picked up the Cream Concealer . I actually like the CC Cream ; it's got a really nice emollient formula which applies and blends really nicely with a beauty blender. The coverage is medium; not sheer, not full coverage but it does give a very uniform appearance to skin. I only need to use a concealer over very dark spots and pimples. It has a dewy finish so I apply a powder on top to mattify and set it.

I have oily skin so this ends up sliding all over my face after about 4 hours of wear. I also have realized that it's heavy on the skin (very noticeable in hot summer weather). I do want to see how it fairs in cooler weather; because I do t...

Eclos Apple Stem Cell Skin Care by Freeman Beauty I recently got Perked by Klout ! I was especially happy when I found out that the perk was from Freeman Beauty and that they are cruelty free and do not test on animals; Go Freeman Beauty ! If you are unfamiliar with Klout it's basically a way to 'measure' your interaction & influence through the various social media outlets. You sign up and link your Facebook Account, Twitter Account, YouTube, Linked In, Google+, Instagram, Blogger Account, etc. to Klout. Klout will then track interaction & influence. As you move up in score, and depending on the types of topics you focus on, you can get a Perk. A perk is when you get to try something out for free. Typically it's a product or an experience;  but they are branching out so it could be anything really. There is never any obligation to use a Perk or to talk about it. I got really lucky and got to try out a new Skin Care line. I am getting to the age where I...
