I wanted to do a quick little VS on here. Today I'll be talking about the Hourglass and the ABH stick foundations.
So in August when I was in the US I picked up the Hourglass stick foundation. I had wanted this for a while but I don't know why I wanted it. Like, no You Tuber said it was good or anything I just had seen it on the Sephora website and wanted to try it. Anyways, when I was in the store I saw it and thought ok why not, lets just try it.
I'm in the shade Buff which is pretty much the perfect match to my skin, I was matched in store so I should hope it is! When I first tried it on I literally just wore it to breakfast and thought it was nice but I wasn't sure if I was in LOVE with it since it was my first time wearing it. It was also incredibly hot that day so I was maaaajjjooorrrrlllyyy sweating which kind of made me think that it was the foundations fault, lol, stupid, I know!
After only wearing that foundation once that time then kind of being freaked out by the sweating I decided to try it again that same holiday but in the evening when it wasn't so hot. I should have mentioned earlier that this foundation is soooo full coverage for a stick foundation. It blends out as easily as a stick foundation probably can too! At this point though, I still was not IN LOVE with it.
I started using it quite regularly because I just thought it was so easy to use, it being a stick and all. Then I went back to my regular drugstore foundation and that my friends, is when I realised I loved this foundation. I genuinely try not to use it that much because I don't want to run out and you can get it here but its SOOOOO expensive!
LOL at how long this post has been already. So getting onto the other foundation. As you can probably already tell I clearly have a fave. After falling so in love with the Hourglass foundation I decided to get the ABH one. I was really lucky in that my Uncle who lives in New Jersey was coming to visit us so I could just easily order it to his house for him to bring. I was literally so blooming excited to try this foundation. I'd seen reviews and it seemed good.
To get to the point I genuinely wish I hadn't bought it. I've used it twice and whilst I'm typing this I'm thinking about how I'm going to give it another chance tomorrow. Anyways, this foundation is genuinely the most difficult thing to blend EVER. I literally cannot blend it. Ive tried with a brush and a beauty blender and with different moisturises and primers on but nothing works! I really really wanted to love this foundation but I just don't.
Like I said I think I'm going to give it another go before I completely decide that its the worst foundation I've ever used... bit harsh but its genuinely true.
If you want to see a video of me using this foundation so you can see what it looks like etc then let me know on my Instagram: @amberlouiserebeccas
