What's in My Generation Beauty 2015 SWAG BAG?! + GIVEAWAY!!!

Some of you may or may not know about Generation Beauty which is an event created by IPSY for 3 years now for basically everyone who is a beauty fan, where you can interact with your makeup beauty brands, YouTube beauty gurus and fellow beauty fans. The Gen Beauty in LA was held last May 30-31 but there is still another one coming up in New York for the first time on Oct 3-4 you can get tickets here.

I have been going to this event every year for 3 years now and I really enjoy it! Although this year it was hard to get to meet some of my Youtube beauty gurus because of the lines so I wasn't able to meet all of them. I must say every year it seems like there's more and more people coming. This year I got to see Kandee again and meet Kat Von D and Sam Schuerman! <3 I would have loved to meet Michelle Phan, ItsJudytime and Bubzbeauty but the lines for their meet ups was closed by the time I got there. Please excuse my dorky face as I am totally fangirling at this point that I don't even care how I look in the picture anymore! ^.^

And its not just meeting your favorite Youtube stars but you would also meet a lot of friends along the way and I have the pleasure of bumping into friends I made since year one of Generation Beauty. You should check out their Youtube channels they are just wonderful and awesome ladies! Link to their Youtube Channels down below! ^.^

So the Gen Beauty Swag bag you get from the event is said to contain over a $200 value! Which is pretty awesome because I paid only $80 for the tix with an IPSY coupon code. I got 2 tix for myself and 1 for my mom so you might see repetitions on the products I got since I got some of them from my Mom and some things missing since I already gave them to some family and friends. There are definitely some brands like Tarte, Chella, LA Girl, Pacifica, and etc that are selling and providing some of their services in a discounted price. But most of the brands provide a lot of samples or free full size products. The line for each booth can get really long at times like the Too faced, Bare Minerals and IT Cosmetics as they color match you to the right foundation shade.

First Impression Review Too Faced Born This Way Liquid Foundation

I got this new foundation at the Too Faced booth in the shade Light Beige. I have the skin tone of C3 with Mac Studio fix Foundation and 125 in Maybelline foundation so you get a better idea of my skin tone in comparison to your own.

This new foundation is said to launch late June as I was told in the event and they have 12 diffrent shades all in all. Its said that this contains coconut water, alpine rose, and hyaluronic acid. Although those ingredients are the selling point of the product, they appear in the middle to the last in the ingredients list which could indicate that it may or may not have a major impact to the formulation of the product. I am not a cosmetics ingredients expert its just a hypothesis I came up when I saw the ingredients list. Here is the Cosdna analysis of the ingredients indicated on the box.

The texture of the foundation is somewhat viscous but light enough that when you blend it in your skin it doesn't feel like you have a mask on that your skin can't breath because its very lightweight.

Bare face with only moisturizer and sunscreen on.

With the foundation on.

Finished make up look above and below I put my MAC studofix powder foundation on top of this.

 REVIEW

I would say this foundation gives a natural coverage to the skin, although I don't think it was adequate enough in blurring out my pores. As for coverage I don't think its a full coverage foundation at all I would say only medium coverage since I still used my Mac studio fix powder foundation to blur out some of my blemishes on the cheek and chin areas. Also I never experienced any caking at all and it's very easy to build up from light to medium coverage only though. As for the longevity of the product on my face, I have super oily skin so I find that after 3 hours of application I was already really oily even with my primer on, so I say this is not great for super oily skin types like mine. I don't think this would be an ideal summer foundation for me.
