Chelsea, you didn't said Sense Matte were too dark for you? Do you like it?
Djd, they blend together like butter! They are Veluxe Pearl.
Roxybc, right now I use the orange cleanser/scrub from Clarins, Khiel's blue astringent, Thirst Quenching Hydra-balance serum from Clarins. They are okay, but not my faves. I prefer my Source Therapie (Biotherm) and Biosource or Biopur toner (Biotherm). I rarely use the same stuff more than 2-3 months.
For your other question, I didn't go to a makeup school.
V2lucky, I didn't post a pic of my full face because I wasn't able to take a good pic... I looked like a drag queen with a black eye. Yikes!!
Thanks guys!! You're all so sweet!
