Foundation Samples from Spirit Beauty Lounge

I am currently enjoying the mineral foundations I'm using. However, having been a liquid foundation girl for most of my makeup life, I was excited to see that there are natural liquid and cream foundation options. Unfortunately, most companies do not cater to women of color. Even those that are considered inclusive tend to have 5 shades of beige and 1-2 dark shades at the end. Those dark shades are usually way to dark for me. So it's quite difficult for a lighter skinned woman of color to find a good match. I decided to order some samples of popular natural foundations from Spirit Beauty Lounge Here are the swatches below:

Battle of The Balms




I know winter has ended, but I forgot to share with you all the skin balms that I use when the weather is extra harsh and my sometimes dry skin is in need of extra protection. Pictured here are the Restorative Skin Balm from CV Skinlabs and the Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Oil from Josie Maran. Click on the title of each product to be taken to their website.
