Colour me cute!

I just got my first blog award from the dear CamiKatze, a fellow blogger from Berlin. I totally didn't expect this, so now is my time to say a huge THANK YOU and to give out seven blog awards in return! But first of all, let me say a few words about CamiKatze's blog " VANITAS ". Unfortunately, it is in German only, but I think it is worth using google translator or similar means for international visitors, because it is full of interesting reviews (about Asian cosmetics, too) from a very honest yet sweet blogger. (I love our long conversations about literature and the world! Yes, we don't just talk about make-up. xD) The seven blogs I'd like to hand this award on to are: VANITAS (right back at you! XP) Lotus Palace (which I must visit every day) My Women Stuff  Rouge Deluxe A Touch of Blusher Of Toys and Tokyo Beauty Box

And here I bring you the swatches of all foundations I own, which I promised like half a year ago? This is as accurate as my camera was willing to get. (I know it looks shadey and dark, but this was the only photo with accurate contrast, the lighter ones also made the foundation seem too light and actually match my skintone. In fact, the contrast is even bigger in reality, and I got a little shock when I looked at my arm.) From left to right: Kate High Coverage Liquid Foundation (Bright-up Color) Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in #51 Astor Matitude HD in ... there's no colour ID written on my bottle, but the lightest colour there is Maybelline Pure Make-up in Porcelaine Ivory BRTC Blemish Recover Balm Holika Holika Petite Watery BB Cream Take a look at this picture (click to enlarge): See what I mean? As you can see, only the Kate actually matches my skin - and that is the one that has almost zero coverage (despite its name. ^^;) Bourjois is a bit too dark...

Just a pic - I know there are swatches around already, and I don't see much sense in posting pictures of me wearing this as blush colours are hardly distinctable on the face - or should be, at least. Isn't it lovely? And I got samples, too! My next Jill Stuart order will be from Gooddealer again!
