If you follow me on Twitter, you may have read my tweets about Purple Lab Silk Sheets Luxe Foundation ($34.50). As it turns out, my experience with Silk Sheets have been mostly good - the formula itself is creamy, silky, blendable, and feels great on the skin. However, since I have to do quite a bit to correct the shade (as you can see on the left), I am hesitant to actually buy Silk Sheets. This is a shame because Karen Robinovitz (the creatrix of Purple Lab) included "coveted ingredients" in Silk Sheets to include algae, hyaluronic acid, silk, juniper, almond seed oil, Vitamin C, and nettle. It also firms the complexion, as you can hopefully see on the right.

Another reason why I am hesitant to buy Silk Sheets is because it is hard to open! When I hosted my party on Thursday, my guests had a difficult time opening the seal. After 5-7 minutes of trying to figure out how open the darn thing, the seal actually popped off! I was like, "Oh my gosh!" Then I saw that the foundation in the container. It wasn't what I expect at all. It seemed to have separated a little bit and was a bit oily. Not good.

First, I knew that it was too light for my guests - they're all darker than me. Second, I knew there was a possibility that it would be too light even for me. So I applied it on my hand, blended it in and showed my guests. They were like, "Where did you apply it?" Silk Sheets had completed disappeared on my hand. Immediately some of my doubts evaporated. I figured there was hope for me after all. You can see how it turned out here.

I first applied Silk Sheets at 4:57. I finished applying my powder and bronzer at 5:15.  I didn't take off my makeup until early in the morning - around 3. So I wore Silk Sheets for about 10 hours! I took the picture on the right at 9:59 PM.
