Non-transfer and waterproof.

Retail: $46.00

My skintype: Normal/combonation, bit of oil in the tzone into the day
Let me just start off by saying, I have a TON of foundations for personal use from MAC to MUFE to Maybellene to Cover FX and more lol. Which one I use all just depends on my mood, what I’m looking for that morning and what I need it to do/how long my day will be.

I always moisturizer and let it set in for a few minutes before applying a foundation primer… if you’re oily make sure you use a mattifying primer.

Believe it or not, I totally forgot I even had this. It had been sitting in my makeup stash for a couple months now :$



 

First impressions:
- heavy bottle (but it’s frosted glass with gives it a luxurious feel)
- very liquidy at first (I thought it was going to be really sheer)
- has a bit of a fragrance

Impressions after application (7am):

- ou la la <3 very nice finish, semi matte, looks flawless
- good amount of coverage (with concealer around eye area)
- doesn’t feel thick or heavy at all
- could be a little bit more “yellow” tinted (I love being yellow LOL)
A little goes a long way!!, 1/4 of one pump overed half the back of my hand (applied with Sephora's "airbrush" foundation brush

 


Impressions by lunch time:
- three of my coworkers had commented how pretty I look today :)
- tad bit of shine in the nose but not enough to bother me or make me wipe it away
- a tad bit darker than this morning
- can still smell the fragrance a bit
- still looks natural :D

Impressions by 5pm (when I would usually need a touch up before I head elsewhere)

- kinda started to fade it seems, a bit more sheer
- Ok for if I was just hitting the mall but if I had to go out out somewhere, I’d definitely touch it up a bit to make it “fresher”

Overall: Love how it looks to start, perfectly natural, absolutely flawless still provides coverage but if you don’t like products with any sort of fragrance you definitely want to test it out first. I love how it feels on my skin A LOT better than my MAC foundations & my MUFE foundations. Weather it’s worth the price difference – depends on how daring I’m feeling that week! Still need to test it's "waterproof" claim because that's one thing I'm SUPER picky about - if it truly is, then it will DEFINITELY be on my "re-buy" list :)

What’s Love Neelu?

Where can I get it? When are the products being released? When can we get that eyeliner we fell in love with at the last event?

“Love, Neelu” a brand which features mineral cosmetics to cater those that love makeup, colour & the longitivity of it all but are also completely natural with little to no fillers, packed with nutrients and plant extracts that target the skin <3 Not to mention vegan friendly products as well!

What it also features:

-         A PRO line for those days where you need a little more - (hey, I’m a makeup artist – I NEED it to stay! Life’s all about balance)

-         Authentic Luxurious Mink Fur Lashes (cruelty free and at a fraction of the cost that you’ll find anywhere else)

-         Gourmet Skin Care (organic, high concentrations of plant & fruit extracts, effective)

It’s been a really long on-going process; working with manufactures in Italy, Australia and the US… testing the makeup, numerous gloss formulations. That’s been the fun part so far… There are a few I’m happy with, there’s a few that still need some work and there’s a few that people have already fallen in love with! <3

Foundations on the other hand (which I know a few of you were looking forward to the most) will be the months and months still to release. There’s a very specific custom formulation that needs to be just right before it’s out and it’s also the one that’s taking me the most amount of funding of course!

Packaging has been a HUGE headache – I have a vision in my mind and refuse to settle for anything less. Believe it or not, the packaging costs are higher than the product formulations in most cases (Ahhhh!) but I’ve been lucky to find a couple suppliers that have been willing to work with me, help source other alternatives and drop minimums with little to no price increases.

When I have a better update than that, I will deffinitly let you all know <3

What I will tell you though is the first products to be released will be:

-         Lipglosess

-         Three shades of lipsticks

-         Luxury Lashes

-         Very limited quantities of a very special Gourmet Skin Care Face Mask

-         Very Limited quantities of the highly anticipated pure mineral pencil eyeliner

Ubber excited!! Hope you all are too!! <3
