E-sen-cia Pomegranate Marshamallow and Yarrow Styling Mousse


Esencia Pomegranate, Marshmallow and Yarrow Styling Mousse



Pros:
  • Conditioning mousse
  • Helps eliminate friz
  • Made with certified organic ingredients
  • I have read many reviews of women with curly hair who swear by this product
  • Costs about $7.00
  • Smells great
 

Cons:
  • I really did not feel like it added any volume to my hair, just made it feel dirty
  • It did not help maintain any form that I was going for when I attempted to use it in conjunction with straightening or curling, after blow drying with this product.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Scuffle



Best Way To Use:

I use one finger and apply in very light upward strokes around face. 
I also dab it under my eyes eyes. 
I finish with a bare minerals powder. 
(Finishing with a powder after a more liquid foundation, locks in the makeup.
It is a whipped formula that seems similar to Dream Mousse by Revlon. 

My Face Profile:

Combination Skin
I have a hard time finding foundation that covers well and stays on.
I have freckles all over my nose and scars around my mouth that need coverage.
I have tried everything from price range wise, powder, foundation, liquid EVERYTHING.

Pros:
  • Goes on really easy.
  • Feels so smooth on face.
  • Very light weight! I am used to wearing makeup that makes you feel like you are wearing makeup. You know the type, it feels like a mask! I have become comfortable with that. I always correlated weight to better coverage. Not now.
  • Multiple colors that make it an easy match for all skin colors.
  • Stays on fairly well. 
  • With the amount you get in each container I get about a month worth of coverage. 
  • A little foundation goes a long ways in this case. 
Cons:
  • Can cost upwards of $15, down to $9. But I always have a coupon or stock up when it is on sale. 
  • Make sure to wash off at night because it does create my skin to feel a bit oily if I don't. Probably not recommended for oily skin.
