Beauty Rave - Givenchy Foundation

Well my Sephora purchases arrived (a little too slow for my liking since I have been spoiled by Amazon Prime) and I have been very pleased with all of my beauty buys.  The Urban Decay Naked Palette is fantastic.  The colors are neutral but still vibrant (if that makes sense) and not too sparkly (sparkles on any fine lines make them look 10x worse.)

The Ouidad leave-in conditioner definitely locks in the moisture -- and smells wonderful -- so I would recommend for those of you with curly and/or dry, damaged hair.

I have yet to try the liners...

One (smart? crafty?) thing Sephora does is include 3 samples with your purchase (ah the marketing) and I selected the Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation.  I LOVE it.  I have been a long time fan of Chanel foundations since I used to "borrow" some of my mom's long ago.  But, this may have it beat.

It is smooth, creamy, the right amount of moisture and SPF 20.  I have been extremely happy with it the last 2 days I have used it.  So, yes, Sephora, your darn samples worked and I am buying.

At $47 it is not cheap, but foundation lasts a very long time and, to me, worth it.  Especially if you do not wear it daily.  (And sadly, I am used to Chanel prices.)
