Hey everyone, I'm Björn Grenay, watching Beyond Grenade today and welcome back to another foundation Friday. If you're new to my channel, I post foundation reviews every Friday and I post curly hair product reviews and tutorials on Sunday. So make sure you click that subscribe button so you don't miss any more videos. Now today I'm actually going to switch it up a little bit. I will admit I've been playing it pretty safe with my foundation Friday's meaning. I've been reviewing drugstore foundations that I know already have a good rep. I've heard something about them being good for oily skin. So that's why I wanted to try those first to give you guys some options so you could fix that oily skin problem now. But today I'll be reviewing my first high end foundation via Sephora sample. I know it's something cute so I had to be reviewing foundations but this one is the Cat Von D Locket Foundation. This one is about $35 at Sephora. So I made sure as you should too, if you're going to buy any high end foundation, get a sample first. This is a free little sample you can get at Sephora and you could try it out before you spend not much money on foundation. But the main reason that this is still in a bag is because I decided not to buy it. If you guys saw me on Snapchat a little while ago, when I used this foundation, it made me a hot oily mess. It was so highly praised. Everybody loved it. It's people's like Holy Grail Go To foundation. So I wanted to try it. But if I did have the bottle, this is pretend that I'm actually holding it. It says it would be a full coverage foundation with a matte finish. 24 hour wear. It says it is going to give you a total matte coverage that stays waterproof, fade proof, and transfer resistant all day long. I didn't experience any of those but full coverage. So before I completely ban it, I'm going to try it one more time. The see if I did something wrong, I want to love it. But it's just going to have to prove itself today. Okay, so let's figure this out. So I am going to be trying a different primer than the first time I used it. This is going to be the Stay Matte by Rimmel. And hopefully this helps mattify because the first time, I don't know. I don't know. I won't be using a damp beauty blender to apply this. And now I got my little sample. This is the color 66, which is deep. Oh snap. Look how thick this is. This is creamy. Nothing's coming out. It actually looks like Nutella. That's what I would compare this to. Now this is known to be full coverage. If you're looking for that sheer look, this is not going to be it for you. It's definitely thick but I personally love full coverage. And this is the probably the reason why I wanted to love this foundation so bad because the coverage is amazing. But Ed, I don't think it's going to last but we'll try it again. I will be optimistic. And I'm going to finish the rest of my makeup. There we go. This is my full completed face. Now this foundation does claim the last for 24 hours. It's supposed to be matte. It is currently 2 pm. So we will come back in a couple hours and see how well it actually does. Do you guys see what I see? Look at it. This is my skin after 8 hours of wear. This would be you at the end of your full work shift. I look like I took a nap in a pan of grease. You literally could fry chicken on my face. Alright, this is the deal. This is actually how my face was the first time I tried it. And I thought after the first 2 hours, you know what? It's looking pretty good. Maybe I misjudged it. I did end up running an errand today that was like walking distance. That was like a quick trip outside. But for the most part, I've kind of been like in a cool environment in my apartment all a day. This is not even like going out and about running errands and I'm this shiny. It's definitely not a 24 hour thing. You could add a dash in there, maybe 2 to 4 hours. This is 8 hours. You want me to go 16 more hours looking this crazy? Alright, now usually my normal oily skin, I only get oily right here and my forehead. But like my entire cheek and chin is glistening. I look like a crispy cream donut. Alright, I've seen enough. Let's go ahead and blot. Let's just get to the blot in strips and of course they're all gone. But luckily when your skin is oily as mine is, you have several different packs in every purse. But let me go ahead and blot and see how it does. Ooh, chow. Oh, snaps. This is not good. Okay. I'm going to need 2 sheets. I'm going in for the second. I'm going in. Alright, so this is all the oil that came off of my skin. I had to use 2 different blotting sheets and this one's like covered in makeup and like I always say these are only supposed to be picking up the oil. The makeup should be staying on your face and only removing the oil. I'm not blaming the sheets. I'm going to have to blame the foundation for this one but this is insane. I mean right now it looks really good. Like I'm super mattified now and I have my full coverage face still but you saw what I'd look like. So that is my complete conclusion on this foundation. If you have dry or normal skin and you actually like this foundation, please leave me a comment. I would love to know who this foundation works on. If you also have oily skin and you've tried this foundation, let me know what your thoughts are. I will be trying more high-end foundations very soon. I just don't know which ones I'm actually going to buy. I hope you guys don't mind me doing more samples especially if I don't like it. I do want to do more high-end foundation reviews because if you spend about $5 on a foundation from a drugstore and you don't like it, okay, not really a big deal. If you're spending like $30 to $50 on one bottle foundation and then you don't like it, I personally would like to know that information. Feel free to leave me a comment. Let me know what foundation you want me to review next. I review new foundations every Friday and I post curly hair product reviews to Toro's another fun stuff on Sunday.
