Custom Foundation Made For YOU!


I think most women dream of perfect skin. With the age of photoshop and instagram filters, it can get even the most confident gal a little skin envy. 

I take extremely good care of my skin and focus on skincare in my beauty routine the most. Makeup just works better with good skin. However, I still need a little help from cosmetics especially if I want to vlog and take some selfies throughout my day. Like most, I'm forever on the hunt for the perfect foundation. I want something light, fluid, bendable, with no SPF. I don't want to feel the makeup on me. I want to feel and look naked, but also filtered. My skin is combination oily and dry and that can make finding foundation difficult. 

Prescriptives Custom Blend Foundation is my solution. Back in the day before I worried about what my skin looked like, I remember Prescriptives in department stores. I remember watching my sister and mom get custom blend foundations, powders, concealers, and lipsticks. I thought it was so cool! It looked like a mad scientist creating stuff. 

I had no idea that Prescriptives was still available online! Now they offer custom blend foundations over video chats and sending in your photos. You can watch my whole video explaining the process and how it works here
I've been getting many comments lately on my vlog channel about how beautiful my skin looks. 

First off, it's my camera, I have a really great camera that just does things on auto. 

Second, I take good care of my skin, so even without makeup I hopefully won't scare anyone. 

Third, I've been wearing this everyday as my basic go to foundation. It's the perfect mixture for my combination skin, with the natural finish I asked for, while also controlling my oily T zone. The color match is beyond amazing, you can't even tell the difference between my skin and the foundation. 

Prescriptives Custom Blend Foundation really is the solution for women who are looking for that perfect mix and color match. It's a pricier item at about $85 after tax, but in my opinion if your someone who just wants their perfect foundation and that's it, then why not invest on your own custom blend?

The packaging is frosted glass with a twist off silver cap. I wish there was an option for a pump. WHY WITH THE NO PUMP?! Your order includes a nice travel size foundation that you can refill for any travel needs.

If your having trouble finding that perfect shade or formulations, check out Prescriptives.com to make your own!

Perfect Summer All in One Treatment Primer

I'm a big fan for less is more. I'm even a bigger fan of multipurpose products, especially in the sweltering summer months. Summer is for get up and go enjoy the beautiful weather, not spending your whole day pimping. You want to look effortless not over done.


Tarte came out with their BB tinted treatment primer last year and I finally gave it a try this year. I love most Tarte Cosmetic products and this one did not disappoint.

The texture feels amazing and goes on so smooth. I feel my skin texture improving and it would make a great primer as well for any powder foundations like my Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation, but this is definitely great for wearing alone as well. I find the color options to be a bit challenging for me with a slight tan as I have now. you can see what I mean in the video. I started with light, then exchanged it for medium, but the medium is a bit too orange for me, so ended up sticking with the light and will have to add more bronzer to it. If this was winter I'd be fine.

You can see my first impression here:


What are your thoughts on your goto summer products? Will you give this BB treatment a try? Leave me a comment or tweet me.
