Makeup Madness: My Summer Base

It is already starting to rain, which means summer will be ending in no time. I predict that we will have a few more hot days though, so until then, I'll be making the most out of the makeup base I've been using all summer.

When summer hit, I had to change bases quickly. I don't wear too much makeup in the summer because it feels stuffy and it just melts off my face. I wanted a light base with SPF that I could just dab on and pair with a swipe of eyeliner or eyeshadow plus a dash of lipstick. Luckily, I chanced upon a good combination of products. These were a part of my Summer Beauty post, but I figured these warranted a proper TLDR, makeup geek-out entry too.

L'Oreal True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream, Essence Mattifying Compact Powder, Elf Professional Total Face Brush 

Beauty Loot: Mini Drugstore Haul From January - February 2014

I don't buy makeup much these days because I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup. I still pick up essentials from time to time though, just out of necessity, like when I need a replacement for something I've used up or something I never had but I am finally feeling the need for. Here is my latest mini drugstore beauty haul.

• Elf Total Powder Brush - I've been building up my collection of Elf brushes because I want to practice, practice, and practice first before investing in a serious brush set. I realized I didn't have the powder brush yet so I got it.
• Elf Waterproof Eyeliner Pen - Yes, my adventures with makeup can be described as slow but steady. There are some products I have never tried until now. Waterproof eyeline is one of them. I got this Elf pen so I can practice.
• Essence Mattifying Powder - I needed powder to set my makeup and I've been curious about this one so I'm giving it a try. 

That was quick! Reviews to come (hopefully) soon.
