I did a little haul at my local drugstore. here is what I got with my review!
- Stila Stay all day liquid lipstick in Fiery
love love love those lipsticks! I already have Patina but this is my first red lippie and the shade is amazing! super long lasting :D

- Rimmel stay matte primer
I bought this because of the other purchase I made. I tend to have oily nose and chin. tried it today and I'm impressed! I didn't stay ultra matte since my foundation is on the dewy side but it controlled the oil great!

- L'Oreal Cushion Lumi foundation
This is the product I was the mist eager to try! love the compact format. The coverage is more light to medium which is perfect for me. The finish is very natural with a nice dewy look. I'll post a pic of me wearing it today. I am very pleased with it! if you want to know something specific feel free to ask!!

So here is my MOTD with it. I used :
- Primer : Maybeline baby skin primer all over (to fill my pores) then the Rimmel stay matte on my nose and chin

- Foundation: L'Oreal Lumi cushion.

- Face powder : Lancome mattifying powder

- Bronzer/Contour : NYX bronzer with a little bit of NYX blush in taupe.

- Blush : Makeup Geek Spellbound

- Brows : L'Oreal brow artist pencil

- Liner : Yves Rocher liquid eyeliner

I'm very happy with the foundation. wasn't to shiny and didn't get patchy around my mouth (where I am more dry)
the first picture is my after around 2h of wear

I'm so happy you found a primer thay worked :) I'm really intrigued by that foundation, I really hope we get it in my country so I can try it out!
What did you use to apply it with? How much did you have to use for a medium coverage? And was it easy to build?

I am also very happy that this primer worked! And it didn't break me out!!
I used the sponge applicator that came with it, very easy to use. The only point that I dislike is that since it is a litte small, I can only fit 2 fingers, therefore I have to put more tension on the strap (put my fingers in a V shape).
As for the amount uses, I found that if I press the sponge on the cushion once (and cover all the surface of the sponge), I can do a light coverage on almost my entire face. So to achieve my medium coverage (only on my lower cheek area, under my countour line), I pressed the sponge one more time, but only on half the surface this time. Very impressed with how little goes a long way (probably because I like a light coverage). I could probably blend it a little less to have a medium coverage right away, but I prefered to layer.
It was really easy to build, didn't cake at all, but my layering was on the part of my face that is not oily at all nor dry.

I am really happy that the shade fits me so well because it is the lightess of the neutral ones.

Here is what the applicator looks like (this is not my picture).

Oh it really sounds like a great product!! I'm all about the light coverage as well, but sometimes a medium is nice!
It's great that it came with a sponge. I saw a review, I believe it was Tati, and she used brush for the application, but the sponge makes touch ups easy I would think!

My makeup devil on my shoulder is saying "Buy it buy it buy it" haha!

When I asked for it at my regular drugstore, it was still in unboxed! She told me they were waiting someone to come over and do the presentation for it. but she opened a box to find the one a needed :D I soooo wanted to try this and I ain't disappointed!

Ok so one last piece of review! I am very impress that it didn't transfert more. I wear an infinity scarf pretty much everyday and even on my black one, there was no transfert at all!! very happy with this!
