Product review: Boots No.7 Shine free primer

hi,
hre's a review of another product i bought, this time at Boots in Manchester at #

product reveiw: Sacha cream foundation

http://www.sachacosmetics.com/static/userReview.phphi peeps, so it's been a while? So sorry for the long silence. I'm trying to rekindle my love for blogging and today I'm doing a review of Sacha cosmetics cream foundation.
I needed cream foundation for my kit (remember I'm a full time beautician now) so i contacted a fellow MUA in Lagos and she talked me into buying this tester kit from Sacha in medium to dark. There is also light to medium kit for Caucasians. so here are my tots, enjoy!

 What Sacha says:

Why are Sacha Foundations different?

Women with exotic skin (African, Indian, Latin, Asian, darker Caucasian and multi-racial women) have yellow undertones. To get a perfect match, we must wear foundations with a natural yellow base. Sacha yellow-based foundations will perfectly match your exotic skin, giving you a flawless finish. It has excellent coverage, natural sun block and is lightweight on the skin.

What is it?

Sacha Cream-to-Powder Foundation Tester Kits that allow you easily find your perfect shade. Our Second Skin foundations are yellow-based and will match your exotic skin more perfectly than any other brand.

My tots:

I used the "cocoa beige" shade for my bride, she had never used foundation and she wanted one that would blend into her skin without the "ashy" look.this is what it looked like when i snapped her with my 10.5pixels Samsung camera.(pls don't mind the picture quality)

this was after the church service and for someone who did not even want makeup at all, i'll say she looks natural and radiant which is the look i aimed for.

however, i have some observations:

1. forget about the applicator that comes with it, it is USELESS! get a foundation brush or wedge, i found out it looks better blended when i applied it with a wedge than when i used my Tara foundation brush.

2.it sure does blend into the skin once you get the proper shade.

3. it is easy to build coverage and can be used without concealer for ladies with relatively good skin

4. Sue me, but i've tried MAC and i think this beats it in a way cause it does not have that heavy look.

I bought mine N3,000 but on the website it sells for $10, the full palette however sells for $100 and ill say it's worth it.

So peeps there you have it, my first review!

phew!

IN A MAZE

I'd like to borrow the words of Sasha in her hit single ADARA where she says "i want to write about this stress,wanna get it off my chest".
I have a lot of things on my mind now, things i want to do, things i wish i had done, things i wish i hadn't done.
How do i explain the fact that i'm a geologist, working in a bank, write songs, sing and hope to one day have a radio station dedicated solely to....(won't tell, don't steal my idea...lol)?
How do i explain that though my heart is in another town, i'm stuck here in Lagos?
How do i explain my dreams so high and lofty,oh how do i?
How do i explain that what i'd rather be doing right now is talk show hosting?

Maybe i should just stop whinning and start acting...shey?
Maybe start with recording a song,
Maybe start a talk show,
Maybe take this exam i've been eyeing for six months,
Maybe....
Oh am i making any sense?
This is my Maze,
Life is a Maze.
