❣️ RAW POST AHEAD ❣️
The makeup on the left propelled my love for makeup. Never in my life had I found a makeup that I could actually apply. I loved it.
That love slowly faded, and I felt as if I’d lost my best friend. I began feeling sticky, shiny (rather than dewy), and my makeup just refused to last all day. My contour began to wear very splotchy, and often times left me looking somewhat “dirty”.
I began to blame myself, and my skin issues (which I’ve been very honest with you about), as the culprit. I began searching high and low for good powders, application techniques, and the root of ”what had changed”. I changed my skincare (a very expensive feat) and still, nothing helped my makeup to be the same as it had been.
After weeks & months of this endless frustration, I began noticing that it wasn’t just me. My customers (who I love dearly) began experiencing the same issues. I was so upset at not knowing how to help them, because that’s what you all trusted me with in the first place. The problem I was experiencing became a hot topic in the makeup community as well.
I sweet girl on Instagram introduced me to Farmasi. A company I, myself, even spoke negatively of, and was skeptical. I made the decision to order TONS of samples for myself, and was absolutely AMAZED at the quality and finished look of my makeup.
I made the decision to become a Farmasi Influencer, because I truly do love helping you all with your makeup, and took a bit of a break from promoting anything at all. I tried everything I could, and truly loved everything. Well.. not their eyebrow pencil, but that’s another story. 😂 Y’all know my eyebrow dilemmas.
For the first time in a VERY long time, I feel truly CONFINDENT, I feel EQUIPPED, I feel SEEN, I feel UNDERSTOOD, I feel VALIDATED, and I feel deeply CONTENT with my makeup.
I debated long (obviously months) and hard about how/when/if I would ever share this, and I felt as though you all deserve the full transparency of my switch. Please understand that I intentionally did not name the makeup, nor the company, as I do still believe the product is great for those it works for… it just stopped working for me, and many of those I care about. In that, I cannot continue with something that I cannot say in full confidence, is inclusive to all skintypes, needs, and preferences.
I appreciate each of you for being here, and if you’ve made it to the bottom of this post, please reward yourself with the finest donut the world has ever seen, because you deserve it! 😂❤️
Love you bunches!
