The Dark Side of Beauty: MUFE

Hello!~ Just wanted to let you all know that I will be a little occupied the next week or so. I have a terrible amount of school work, and I also have been addicted to playing Skyrim. I will have some scheduled posts, but I will not be commenting as much as I would like. Thank you all, and have a great week!

I feel so giddy to show you my purple lippie collection ^_^ I love purple lipsticks and I am completely obsessed with finding new additions to my collection. A lot of my lipsticks are limited edition lipticks from MAC, and I am so sorry if I show something you can no longer find! But anyways, here are swaches of all my purple lipsticks, including any purple toned lipsticks.

*The lipsticks look a little washed out, and they look more pink/red than purple. But trust me, they are purple.

My favorites:

-MAC 'Asian Flower'

-Illamasqua 'Underworld'

-MAC Blooming Lovely

-Lime Crime 'D'Lilac' and 'Airborne Unicorn'

My least favorites:

-NYX Castle (It doesn't look good on my lips)

-MUFE #15 (I love the color, but it smells terrible and it has a gritty texture)

-Fyrinnae Coffin Velvet (Love the color, but it applies patchy on my lips)

I think I might have forgotten to add one or two lipsticks here (I totally forgot to add my Australis lipstick!).

I am on a makeup ban, and I will not be buying any lipsticks until I use the lipsticks that I own. But please, if you have any recommendations for purple lipsticks please leave a comment. I love to heat what you have have to say ^_^

Many people think purple lipsticks are unwearable and "crazy." What are your thoughts on this? Would you wear a bright purple lipstick? I know I would ;)

Hii everyone! I hope that you all had a great weekend. It was Father's Day and I spent some time with my dad, who I don't see very often because he works so much! It was nice to spend some quality time with most of my family~ I have meaning to do this post for so long, and I finally got around to it :D Hope this is helpful to those who have eyes these two very hyped foundations!

Price, Quantity, and Availability
I purchased both of these at Spehora.
NARS Sheer Glow: $42 for 1 Fl oz

MUFE HD Foundation: $40 for 1 Fl oz

As you can see, the Sheer Glow is $2 more, but it does not come with a pump. If you want to have a pump, you will have to purchase it from the NARS website, and it costs $6. The HD foundation comes with a pump already. Thus, NARS will set you back $8.
Price wise, MUFE has the upper hand.

Packaging
Both foundations come in a sleek bottle. I like both, but they both have some negative points.
Sheer Glow: comes in a glass bottle, which I personally like. But, it is more prone to breaking. Because of this, it is not very travel friendly. As I mentioned above, it also does not come with a pump. I like my foundations to come with a pump, so minus one point for NARS. I had to purchase my pump separately T_T

MUFE HD: is a plastic bottle, that already comes with a pump. I have no gripes with the packaging at all. The pump is great! And although it comes in a plastic bottle, the bottle still looks extremely sleek .

MUFE HD foundation has the more convenient packaging, but as far as looks and personal preference, I like the NARS Sheer Glow packaging better. I am a sucker for NARS packaging as well as glass-bottled foundations.

Color Selection:
MUFE has way better color selections that NARS. MUFE HD foundation maches my skin tone much better than my Sheer Glow. Because of that, the MUFE HD foundation looks more natural on the skin.

Formula Comparison

NARS:
~much watery than the MUFE one, so it is very easy to spread over our skin. Because this foundation is more moist, it works very well for people with dry/combo skin. The formula makes it so it gives your skin a nice dewy finish.

MUFE:
~Is a lot drier compared to the Sheer Glow. It is also a lot easier to blend into the skin. This foundation seems to work better with oilier skin types, since it gives a satin finish.

Duration

NARS
~Although this makes me a little shiny thorughout the day, it holds up very nice. It doesn't crack on my skin, and it leaves the skin looking really fresh and dewy. I do have to blot at least once, but that isn't too bad. SO although it might make you oily, it stays put on the skin extremely well!

MUFE:
~This controls oil very well because it has a drier formula. But it also is prone to looking a little flaky and dry on my skin. I have to be very careful to moisturize my skin well and even maybe use a setting spray over my foundation. I would say that if you have oilier skin than me, this will last a lot longer on your skin than the NARS one.

For duration, I have to go with the NARS Sheer Glow~

Swatches
NARS is on the left and MUFE on the right.

Verdict
NARS Sheer Glow is my favorite of the two.
Why? Mostly because the HD foundation made me breakout. The Sheer Glow, although it does not prevent oiliness, does not melt off my face in the heat. It also doesn't make my face look dry, and does not "crack" on my face. If you want to try either of these, please go to Sephora, or any counter that has these, to give you a sample to try. Then, you can decide whether to purchase these or to skip out on it. Because of the price, I highly recommend that you get a sample first!

Thank you for reading ♥
