Spring cleaning! Products I've used up.

I've been collecting some empties over the past few weeks so I could do an empties post.  A lot of these were purchased and loved then left behind for a new and improved product.  Fortunately, I like to switch it up a lot so I have gone back to these and used them all up.  It was not intentional, I wasn't doing any sort of project 10 pan sort of thing, I just happened to finish some things and wanted to share my experience.

Face of the Night

As I was sitting at my desk, watching the most recent episode of 30 Rock on Hulu, I glanced over at my brushes and saw a recently purchased blending brush and decided to put some Brown Script in my crease.  That's literally where this started...I don't use brown script often but I think this needs to be my go to color now.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

ARGH!!! Why are all the best products so damn expensive?  Seriously, you have to be Megan Fox to afford this foundation but it actually gives you her perfect radiant skin.  Not fair.  Needless to say, I'm pretty much in a love/hate relationship with this foundation. 

Since I'm most insecure about my skin, finding a foundation that I love is really difficult for me.  Even the most natural looking foundations like Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua eventually break down on my face because I get so oily.  I could forgo powder and spend all day looking greasy which isn't going to work for me either.  I was visiting an old coworker who recently got a job at the Smashbox counter at Nordstrom and saw the Giorgio Armani counter.  I've heard really great things about the Luminous Silk Foundation - in fact, this is Kim Kardashian's foundation of choice.  I swatched a few on my arm and found that shade #2 was a pretty close match.  Turns out I am actually the lightest shade out of 18.
