Sephora/MUFE Haul

Ok - I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't resist!  I haven't gone shopping in ages and I went CRAZY this week.  I adore makeup and I adore shopping so this is really only "part" of my haul.

Make Up Forever has to be my favourite cosmetic brand.  I have combination-oily skin and this is one brand that just works for me.  It never breaks me out or makes me greasy, dry and it LASTS! I went to Sephora over the last 2 days and purchased these wonderful items.  I can't tell you how much I spent exactly (with taxes) but I will list the prices at the end of this post. 

So this is what I got from Sephora:
  • MUFE HD Foundation in #140
    (note: I used to use #125 but I started to feel like maybe it was too light for me, turns out the girl colour matched me wrong the first time - this is my PERFECT shade)
  • MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #7 Sand (again PERFECT match)
  • MUFE Aqua cream in #13 (champagne shimmer) and #15 (shimmery taupe/brown)
  • MUFE Aqua eyes in 7L (beautiful electric blue)

What I love about all of these products is that they are long wearing.  I've used the foundation for over a year now, it has never broken me out or made me excessively oily or showed dry patches when I've had them.  And it photographs beautifully.


The concealer is a full coverage concealer (thus the name) - and waterproof - perfect for when you go to concerts or pool parties.  I tend to JUST have this on my face when I go  to the pool, it covers up blemishes and doesn't come off if I jump into the water.


Again, I have very oily lids.  Usually nothing stays on them all day.  These aqua creams are amazing - even without a primer - though I usually use my UD primer potion under them anyways.  They are creamy and blend out nicely though feel a little tacky until they dry.  They make great bases or work nicely on their own.  They're also very waterproof! I need makeup remover or to RUB RUB RUB to get these off.
Last but not least my favourite eyeliner pencil - aqua eyes - waterproof, pigmented and creamy.  Love.

Hopefully, I will not set foot in a sephora again any time soon!
Happy shopping.

Note: these are always more expensive in Canada than in the US. 
Aqua creams are $25
Aqua eyes are $20
Full Cover is $36
Foundation is $40 (I'll have to double check this)

I will also post more swatches of these products by next week.
