:O

I think it’s pretty clear that I don’t wear a ton of makeup. My skin is a little blotchy in areas and it’s pretty visible when I break out. I wear cheapy drugstore eyeliner and pigmented lip blam that will probably get on you if you’re making out with me, and that’s about it.

My skin doesn’t look airbrushed like some of the girls you’ll see, but that’s all right.

That is, until John’s aunt and uncle gave me a giftcard to Sephora over Christmas. :/ I think they created a monster.

I walked into the Sephora at the mall and asked for help and walked out with a tinted moisturizer by theBalm that I’m in love with. I walked out of the mall with a bit of it on and wondered why nobody was staring at me more, because hey! My skin tone is even now!

And as I read more on makeup and the different kinds of drugstore brands (let’s face it, I’m never going to be able to afford anything from Sephora), I decided to pick up some concealer and powder. And what zits showed through the tinted moisturizer from Sephora are totally gone.

Like they never existed in the first place :O

I’m pretty sure what female reader base I have right now is rolling their eyes and thinking “well duh. Concealer is supposed to cover up the zits. . .” but to me it poses the question:

What the hell lies on the surface of the skin of the girls who have been wearing makeup for years? And uh, ew?

End result?

Haha, you probably couldn’t tell the difference anyway. But I assure you, at least two zits are hidden. :B (Because it’s my blog and I get to talk about zits. Yay)
