Happy Happy Friday!!

First of all, the winner of The Feather Report iPhone app is Kathleen at Just a Small Town Girl. Yay lovebug, I’ll email you!
Now…another giveaway I’m super excited about!

I was intrigued by Perricone MD’s No Foundation Foundation the second I saw it in the Sephora catalogue and I knew I had to have it. Immediately. STAT. As a make-up artist I was like WHAT WHAT HUH? A foundation…that isn’t a foundation? I know, right…blew my mind too. Read on…
{Magic in a bottle? Mama likey}

Details...

Perricone MD’s No Foundation Foundation offers translucent coverage allowing the natural health and glow of skin to shine through while protecting the complexion against damaging UV rays. It works to correct skin undertones and offers all-day moisture, providing an even, dewy finish. A dose of specially treated pigments, blended with light diffusing mica, instantly soften the look of lines, wrinkles, and pores, creating a flawlessly radiant look. This formula includes antiaging actives, DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which help to firm skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time.


Hi, I just had a beauty-productgasm…SRSLY, is anyone else as excited about this as me? I.Die.
Well, like sneaky beauty product mind reading fairies, the kind people at Perricone MD offered to giveaway one No Foundation Foundation to one of YOU! ($50 value)
AND!
They are sending me one too and I’ll be doing a product review when I get it in my hot little hands (checking mail like a psycho daily!!)
Meaning we can totes be twins rocking our No Foundation Foundation and, as always, remain looking 19 forever! :)
Le Rules…The Usual
  • My giveaways are for my homies. So be a follower and say hi if you’re new to me, I’m a lover not a fighter…
  • Leave a comment on this post telling me something, anything about foundation-what you love, what you hate, if you never wear it, etc.
  • If you tweet about it, leave a second comment letting me know!
  • I’ll announce the winner next Friday the 23rd! I can’t wait to see who my No Foundation Foundation buddy is going to be! :)
This one is open to US readers only, sorry sorry loves…but clearly I always have something else up my sleeve so don’t worry!
Have a fabulous weekend,
XOXO,
Liz
Did ya’ll see my ode to Mayra down there? I’m on a crazy posting spree tonight, but I def don’t want you guys to miss it, cuz I love her! :)

I am so so so excited about this. I really hope its as good as it sounds. I hate how heavy normal foundation is and the powders just dont last long enough for me.

8 MuLtI-CoLoReD SPRINKLES October 16, 2009 at 3:44 am

Thanks for my comment! I saw you updated this moment and rushed on over and then you made my day and it hasnt even started! A foundation that is light yet covers yet brings out natural glow of skin…sounds like my kind of product! I wear foundation every day and have been searching high and low for something that evens out my skin but is so light it's like I am not wearing anything…

I love that foundation can make one look flawless…

I hate that it can appear on some people thick even if they use hardly any!

PS. I twitted about this give away…ID:HanWade

What can I do to bribe you to allow me the win? Foot massage? Feeding you grapes? Being your bitch for the day?

This sounds fabulous! Count me in lady!

10 Marjorie October 16, 2009 at 5:06 am

I actually don't use foundation… but maybe I should start? I'm in!

11 Mrs EyeCanSee October 16, 2009 at 5:06 am

As a self proclaimed makeup hooch, I am uber intrigues by thie no foundation foundation. I don't have a current fave, I'm more of a BareMinerals girl…so I hope I win and can try it out. Otherwise I might have to drag myself to Sephora and pick some up….oh darn. :) Happy Friday!!

PS Woot woot to Mayra for her amazing running abilites! I admire anyone who runs…especially for such a great cause!

12 Little Miss Southern October 16, 2009 at 5:21 am

Oh my! I am totally in! This sounds great!
I use foundation to even out my freckles.. I should just let them hang all out! :)

I am a follower :)

14 SG October 16, 2009 at 5:24 am

Since I just won one of your giveaways I feel greedy entering this as well but so WHAT!!! Sister doesn't turn down the chance to possibly try out new products especially since I'm too broke to use fun stuff like this. Happy Friday Lady cakes!

15 Cindy October 16, 2009 at 5:27 am

Foundation that's not a foundation… I've gotta check that out! I don't normally wear liquid foundation because I can actually feel it on my face. It feels so thick and heavy. Ick!

I'm already a follower, btw. :)

16 Chainsaws and Jelly October 16, 2009 at 5:49 am

hi lizzy. as a make-up artist, i love to use foundation. i use a kabuki brush instead of a foundation brush to blend it all in. it gives a smoother finish, more like an airbrush finish.

17 Chainsaws and Jelly October 16, 2009 at 5:50 am

second comment, i've re-tweeted this giveaway on twitter.

Tell me if it's real good, I need a flawless looking skin so badly!

19 bananas. October 16, 2009 at 6:11 am

a foundation that isn't a foundation?! WHAAAAATTT!!!

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!!!

but i have to confess…i have never worn liquid foundation. always felt like it suffocated me so i stick to my bare minerals. BUT if i win, i'm pretty sure this will change my opinion on liquid face in a bottle. so yea LET'S WIN THIS SHIT!

20 Summer October 16, 2009 at 6:26 am

OOohhh…I need me some MD Perricone!!! I don't usually wear a liquid foundation, but it's mostly because I haven't found anything light enough…but, this may be the answer!!!

21 Summer October 16, 2009 at 6:26 am

I most definitely follow your blog!!! Have a great day!

22 RW @ TrueBeauty October 16, 2009 at 6:30 am

Ok Miss Liz…I seriously NEED this! I've been lusting after it as well!! I'm always looking for something light that won't make me want to claw my face off by noonish each day (So, claw was a little weird, but you know what I mean, righ?) I hate the way normal makeup feels on my skin. So, really, I would love to try this out!

23 Erika October 16, 2009 at 7:00 am

Congratulations Kathleen; and yay for another Giveaway!

By the way…boobs and blazers; so the worst predicament. I can never button my blazers otherwise I look ginormous! :)

24 Annie October 16, 2009 at 7:01 am

this stuff sounds amazing!!
i want to win! ;)
of course i'm a follower, i heart you…lots! :)
i wear foundation, it's a mousse kind. i love it because it glides on easy and covers well.

have a great weekend beautiful!
p.s. i bought 2 pairs of skinny jeans!!!

25 Nina (Femme Rationale) October 16, 2009 at 7:10 am

no foundation foundation? sounds soooo intriguing! this is tots going on my sidebar and of course i'm all over it on twitter. xoxox

26 Hilary October 16, 2009 at 7:14 am

This product sounds too good to be true! Butttt I still wanna try it, offf course haha! I'm wearing Bare Minerals right now. eehhh. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
xoxo

27 Collins October 16, 2009 at 7:16 am

I never wear it b/c I am scared of it! But this looks great!

28 Kellie October 16, 2009 at 7:37 am

Firmer skin? Sign me up! I wear a "barely there" powder. I like it except sometimes my skin gets dryer than hell in the winter and then it doesn't always look too hot. Maybe I just need a better moisturizer? I dunno. I wish I was better at skin/makeup stuff but I guess I'm fairly lucky b/c I rarely break out more than a small pimple or two during "that time" we shall not mention. :)

Anyway, this stuff sounds like it'd be right up my alley. So if I don't win I can't wait to read your review of it and then buy some if it's good!

Happy Friday luvkins! xoxo

29 jessalyn October 16, 2009 at 7:46 am

Im not really a foundation wearer because I dont like the makeupy all over my facey feel, ya know?
I just got the MUFE HD powder and I do LOVE LOVE that. it makes my swimming pool sized pores appear to be simply kiddy pools!

p.s. love your blog- the perfect combo of beauty, fashion & your writing is fab!

30 jessalyn October 16, 2009 at 7:47 am

p.p.s. I tweeeeted as well! tweet tweet yo!

31 Beth Dunn October 16, 2009 at 8:06 am

I'm a follower here and on twitter. I never wear foundation because it makes me look older and I feel like my face is dirty. I've been dying to try this one! xoxo

Count me in giiirrrl!

33 ~KS October 16, 2009 at 8:22 am

I follow you… to the moon and back…
And I hate to admit this, but I suck at wearing makeup. I just feel like I end up looking like a clown, so I just skip it all together. BUT, I truly want to get better at this so I can look like a pretty grown up. Maybe this will help :)

34 Couture Carrie October 16, 2009 at 8:25 am

This product is so amazing…. I use it right now; it is so lightweight and gorgeous. I'd lurve another bottle!

Thanks for a fab giveaway, darling Liz!

35 Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's October 16, 2009 at 8:43 am

Sounds fabulous (like you) to me!!

36 Gabbi October 16, 2009 at 8:43 am

Great giveaway dear Liz! I really like the idea of a foundation that isn't a foundation… would love to try, and will have to try even if I don't win!

Also, congratulations to the winners!!

Have a fabulous weekend gorgeous girl!♥♥

37 Divya October 16, 2009 at 8:48 am

this looks amazing!! i've heard so many great things about the product.. would love to give it a try!

38 Jaime October 16, 2009 at 8:56 am

Would love to win- I need a new foundation. I use bare minerals and I like but it's drying my skin out, esp in the winter!

I am a follower~!

39 maggie October 16, 2009 at 9:12 am

ugh i HATE foundation that LOOKS like you are wearing foundation, this sounds great!

I'm a follower!!

40 thefatandskinnyonfashion October 16, 2009 at 9:17 am

I just tweeted this contest, and I am a follower. I love foundation because it covers all of my acne scars and the discolorations on my face. I have hyperpigmentation,so I need something that will cover it all up.

41 Heather October 16, 2009 at 9:38 am

That stuff sounds super amazing. I'm always super jealous of people who don't have to use foundation. I have some discoloration in my skin so I have to use it when I go out. I work in a bar so I have to always be looking my best. Right now I use Make Up Forever's HD foundation and I like it a lot. 40$ at Sephora and it's lasted me over 2 months.

Tweeted about this too :) @mmmmetzger

42 Kristin October 16, 2009 at 9:45 am

This is my kinda giveaway homey. I do NOT wear foundation as I am make up challenged. Help your most pitiful P.I.C. pleassssse. ah ha ha. Get well wishes headed toward the lovely ladies in your life! : )

43 mc.lizzle xx October 16, 2009 at 10:03 am

I LOVE wearing foundation because it makes my face glow. Of course I don't use too much cuz then its just caked on. And then when I remove it guys get really surprised at how good and soft my skin is. So I like how whenever I finally remove my foundation in front of a guy it's also like taking my guard down from him.

44 .:*aMbAr*:. October 16, 2009 at 10:11 am

This defz sounds like something I should try!!!!

I really don't wear foundation, cause I've never found one that I loooveee, and hellowww they're friking expensive.. BOO

45 Charis October 16, 2009 at 10:36 am

Yum that stuff looks amazing! I'm a religious bare minerals user, but I'd definitely try this one out! Current foundation love: the no-makeupy look of bare minerals. Hate: that it doesn't moisturize my skin! it's freaking cold and dry up here in VA and my skin is NOT used to it. But all moisturizers make me break out *tear* I'll just have to wait it out til this kisser of mine acclimates!

46 Carissa October 16, 2009 at 10:47 am

this does sound pretty amazing! I do wear foundation. not every day, but usually. depends on my mood and of course, my skin! my crazy skin is dry and oily at the same time, making it a pain in my ass. right now I use covergirl's CG Smoothers All Day Hydrating Makeup. It doesn't dry my skin out and there is less "cracking" than with other products I have tried. while I like it, I don't always love it– I would LOVE to never have to wear foundation, so if this Perricone is all it's cracked up to be, I would be in heaven! :)

47 FabBlab October 16, 2009 at 10:58 am

DARRRNN I'm an international bloggie friend :(

Anyhow, I use a bit of foundation sometimes but mostly concealer bc thankfully I'm blessed with mostly awesomeass skin ;P
But I do have my hungover/blogged and watched GG/OTH all night mornings and need some to cover up the remnants (read:under eye circles) the next morning at school.

Love ya, lady! XO

48 drollgirl October 16, 2009 at 11:07 am

ooh, enter me in this giveaway!

i use clinique superbalanced foundation now. it is light, but covers well enough, and it works well for oily skin.

have a great weekend!

49 Chef Green October 16, 2009 at 11:21 am

OK girly but your home boy's name in that bag. Ive never worn foundation before but "flawless and glowing" sounds pretty freakin' cool.

Sometimes I'll wear some uber expensive bronzer and powder to cover up the signs of my booze habit. No one ever knows I'm wearing anything unless I tell them. :O I'm so not a pete wentz guyliner kind of boy, though. Poo-hiss!

50 e October 16, 2009 at 11:24 am

Would love love live to win this.
I avoid foundation for obvious reasons ANC stick to bronzer….but I'd LOVE to try this!!!
Hope I win! :)

51 Martinis or Diaper Genies? October 16, 2009 at 11:56 am

My biggest fear is looking like Rachel Zoe. After this season I've spent hours staring in the mirror, praying I don't see a wrinkle or that my foundation doesn't settle in any nasty little creases.

xoxo

52 Savvy Gal October 16, 2009 at 12:46 pm

i am all for La Mer foundation b/c it gives me a subtle glow. I was told it was due to gem stone dust mixed into the forumula. Anyhoo, i don't know what they are doing at La Mer but it works. Hope we get to be foundation buddie.

53 Hanako66 October 16, 2009 at 12:57 pm

ummmm…that sounds totally amazing!!! like you could be more "glowy"!! ;)

54 Sam October 16, 2009 at 1:43 pm

I'd love to enter – it sounds very good! I've not heard of it before – I'm all for "light" as opposed to cakey!

55 Jennifer October 16, 2009 at 2:15 pm

OOOhhh I have been wanting to try this stuff!
I was using an Avon foundation for awhile and have started to break out and I think it's caused by their ingredients. I never had sensitive skin but I guess as I get older my skin's a changin'!
I'm crossing my fingers to win this so I can try out the "magic potion"!!

jshields8313@yahoo.com

56 E October 16, 2009 at 4:46 pm

I've never found a foundation that works well for me to use regularly, but it doesn't stop me from looking. I've heard really good things about this and I love the idea that it's light and sheer. Oh and I love anything perricone, too :-)

57 Nicole Marie October 16, 2009 at 5:06 pm

have a great weekend girlie!!

58 Fashion Court October 16, 2009 at 6:24 pm

i'm a follower, darling!

this would be exciting to win, haha. i hate foundation (i swear, i'm a girly girl besides the makeup aspect)

59 siovhan October 16, 2009 at 6:24 pm

dude you are all about the giveaways! you're rockin them, lady! i hope you're having a great weekend!

60 alexkeller October 16, 2009 at 7:18 pm

sign me up sister! i'm a fairly recent follower. strange, as a Leo I should be the leader…

61 alexkeller October 16, 2009 at 7:40 pm

and i never wear foundation, so this stuff intrigues me. here's my tweet: http://twitter.com/alexandrakeller/status/4934116000

62 L.A. Daze October 16, 2009 at 7:53 pm

Totally following you! I'm now officially your online stalker. I kept it under wraps earlier. I've only recently started wearing foundation (I know, i'm so retarded when it comes to make-up) and I am having a hard time looking natural with it. I used some sort of Bare Minerals powder before and grew tired of that. Now i'm using some Armani product and it's alright, but i'm ready to try something new!

63 jeannie October 16, 2009 at 8:13 pm

I heard this was a great product. Yay!

64 Dream Sequins October 16, 2009 at 9:18 pm

Oh snap I usually don't wear too much foundation, but I like a finished look. I need this. Pick me, dude.

65 J-Diggety October 17, 2009 at 9:14 am

Ooh, Jessi likey this stuff… I acquired a sample of it this summer in Chicago, and while it was a bit too moisturize-y for humid Chi-town, it's the perfect solution for keeping my skin happy in hella dry Colorado. My skin is begging you to let me win!!! ;)

xoxo J

66 J-Diggety October 17, 2009 at 9:33 am

Oh, and just posted a li'l Tweet announcing your giveaway – mwah! xoxo

67 Lace October 17, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Sweetness. I admit reading about it gave me a little bit of an O face as well. I wear tinted moisturizer b/c I can't stand feeling like I'm wearing stage makeup(ick), so I think I would love love(ugh double up, ugh ugh) this no foundation foundation :)

If I'm not the lucky gal to win, I'll def. keep an eye out for your review!

68 Mallory October 17, 2009 at 1:31 pm

ahhh i want i want! probably like all of our bloggy friends, my skin is a hot mess 60% of the time. Sounds like a super amazing product, and even if i don't win, i'd love to hear your review on it! I'm a follower, and hope you're having a good weekend<333

69 alissa October 17, 2009 at 2:33 pm

ooo count me in. i love the idea of something that could even out my skin…without feeling like i have a layer of goo to cover it!

70 Midtown Girl October 17, 2009 at 2:56 pm

I NEED this!! I have NEVER worn foundation in my life but I would love to try this out – the skin care benefits are such a plus!

Sidebarring this – OBVS!

Love you pretty girl!

71 Regan October 17, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Hey! I've been reading your blog for quite a while now, but this is the first time I have left a comment…..I have to have this stuff! I'm at that 30 year mark and age is not my friend at this point…..I usually don't wear foundation because of the way it feels, looks, and smells, etc….not too mention every unhealthy chemical and "I-can't-pronounce" ingrediant lists! Thanks for running this contest!

72 annalene October 17, 2009 at 5:48 pm

I wear foundation most days that I'm out. I've tried many foundations before and to be honest, they all feel really gross and heavy (even the mineral ones). I'd like something light that naturally masks imperfections without actually looking like a.. you know, mask.

thank you so much for the giveaway, love the blog!

(email address is in blogger profile)

73 nifer October 17, 2009 at 8:52 pm

Boo! Lady, I am BACK (and just in time I see), and I missed you! I caught up on your posts, and I was sorry to hear about your moms, but I'm glad to hear she is recovering.

So, me and foundation. Definitely don't do it daily (altho I do sunscreen moisturize every day), but I love it for going out to smooth out the look. And, what do you know, I'm due for a new foundation! So… this one looks perfect because I love a more natural look that isn't too "made up."

Luv ya! Glad to be back.

~ Jen

74 Hello...Darlin October 17, 2009 at 9:11 pm

im new 2 blog world i would love to enter your give away!!!! love your blog 2!!!! creative and inspiring!!!!
luv it

75 Loren October 17, 2009 at 11:01 pm

This sounds freakin amazing. I don't really like to wear foundation much just because I guess I haven't found the right one and the right feel on my face. I hate having the feeling of stuff on my face. This is a pretty cool concept and I wonder if it's GOOD. I'd really like to try it just because I don't have the best skin.

76 Keith October 18, 2009 at 6:11 am

Hey there. I hope this finds you doing well. I also hope you've had a great weekend so far. Take care. Have a nice week. Cheers!

77 Summer October 18, 2009 at 8:21 am

I'll take it please, thank you very much.

=)

78 Vanessa October 18, 2009 at 10:17 am

I refuse to leave the house without foundation because I have uneven skin – its awful, I HAVE to try this stuff!
Hope you're having a wonderful week! :)

79 Allison October 18, 2009 at 11:15 am

I love foundation…I have an uneven skintone, so I feel not so hot when I go out without it on! But I hate the clumpy feeling, or the problem of matching it to my skintone, so this would be just perfecttt! Love Pericone MD everything, but being a broke ass college student, I just can't shell out $50 to spend on it (though I've probably spent that much on food in the past week!).
Hope you're doing well, love. Lets talk soon?

80 Pinky October 18, 2009 at 12:57 pm

This totally sounds too good to be true and I hope that it's true!
I love foundation, but it does not love ME back. Either too heavy, greasy, settles in pores, or not enough coverage. BLEH! I tried tinted moisturizers, but still am on a quest for perfection. Maybe this will be it!

81 Maggie October 18, 2009 at 2:19 pm

I'm new, and I just added you to my google reader. I've been using Bare Minerals powders and I really love them… but I'd be down for trying this.

82 thesydneygirl October 18, 2009 at 2:37 pm

hey gorgeous lizzy!!! how are you?! hope you had a wonderful weekend! awesome giveaway! big hugs x

83 OceanDreams October 18, 2009 at 8:32 pm

What a wonderful giveaway, great minds think alike because I am doing a giveaway too! But…I think you already beat me and entered. Thanks love and hope your weekend was lovely!

84 K @ Blog Goggles October 19, 2009 at 7:41 am

So I actually know nothing about foundation. However, I do all kinds of crazy anti-aging crap because I already have wrinkles and I'm only 25! So, this would be awesome.

85 Amber October 19, 2009 at 7:48 am

More giveaway amazingness?? You rock! Let's see, foundation… well after I finish my Studio Fix powder or whatever it is, I want to find a new kind. It's not really working for me. So maybe this would be my answer! If not, I'll most likely be enlisting your help to find a new one so be ready, lover! XOXO

86 Cassie October 19, 2009 at 8:27 am

this is awesome. count me in

87 spflaum October 20, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Foundation? I love having even looking skin. I hate looking like I'm wearing make up. I'd love to try one of Dr. Perricone's products. I hear they are great at slowing the aging process as well! Thanks for the giveaway!

88 yours truly dear October 20, 2009 at 7:43 pm

following! just found your blog :] and this foundation sounds awesome. lately ive been into clinique liquid foundation, which is funny because i've always been scared of liquid foundation. but i like it. i always get self conscious though and ask my hubby, "umm, am i wearing too much makeup?" to which he always replies, "how the hell would i know?"

89 Vanessa October 21, 2009 at 7:42 am

following you through blogger. this product sounds interesting. i wear bare essentials but not all the time because regardless what foundation i use i tend to break out however i want to hide the lines within my skin, so maybe if i win this giveaway… it'll help. :-)

90 Julia October 21, 2009 at 10:55 am

This sounds really interesting, a foundation that isn't foundation?! Hmm. I would love to try this product since I've heard great things about Perricone and I'm in need of a foundation that doesn't look caked on!

91 she says October 22, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Hi! I'm a new follower. I love foundation, especially mineral powders like BE. (:

94 carma October 23, 2009 at 10:01 am

what I don't like about foundation is that I can never seem to get a good match colorwise :-(

95 Chic 'n Cheap Living October 23, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Wow, love it girl. I just found you on Twitter (how did I miss you on that for son long) and tweeted from @cncliving.
