Allegedly, it emphasizes the dry areas and doesn’t look good but it can also completely break down and look super patchy if your skin is oily. From what I could gather, it looks like for some reason this formula doesn’t work well for dry, flakey skin or for very oily skin. I’ve seen some polarizing reviews: some people love this foundation and others absolutely hate it. That’s the thing with NARS, their foundation shades look perfectly skin-like and that’s why so many people swear by this brand. I look at those shades and think to myself “there’s no way they created some of these based on real people with real skin”. Did you notice how sometimes brands with a very extensive range of foundation shades seemingly only have those just for appearances’ sake? Like someone randomly poked around at the color wheel to pick a few colors here and there to create an illusion of inclusivity. I actually want to share one of my pet peeves, and I would love to hear if you ever felt the same way. There may be some gaps, but I thought the current colors all look convincingly skin-like and will fit a very wide range of complexions and undertones. NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundationcurrently comes in 34 shades. To get a true medium you’d have to use very little product, and it would be like using a pigmented eyeshadow to get a sheer finish – it takes more effort than it’s worth to make the end result look good. The coverage is described as medium to full, but I feel like it leans more full. Maybe that’s just my weird bone structure, but I thought it was worth mentioning. However, I needed to do one minor touch up every 5-6 hours of wear – for some reason, it gathered in my nasolabial folds, while the rest of the face still looked fresh and flawless. As an added bonus, the oil-free, and fragrance-free formula is infused with Apple, Watermelon, and Raspberry extracts to provide subtle skin benefits over time.įrom my experience, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is indeed long-lasting, and it looked really nice on my skin AM to PM. I guess, now is as good a time as any!Īccording to NARS, this long-lasting, medium to full coverage foundation offers 16 hours of comfortable wear time and feels lightweight on the skin. I am gearing up for another yearly makeup purge, and while going through my foundation drawer I realized that even though I featured NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ($49) on my insta-stories pretty often, I never gave it a proper review on the blog. consumer study of 65 participants.NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation Review, Demo, SwatchesĪs I slowly move away from full coverage foundations, I tend to use my old favorites less and less. *Claims based on a 1-week independent U.S.75% of women agree skin looked radiant all day*.85% of women agree the foundation feels weightless*.91% of women agree the skin appears smooth while wearing the foundation*.91% of women agree the foundation blends effortlessly*.92% of women agree the foundation feels comfortable on the skin*.94% of women agree the foundation applies uniformly without streaking*.100% of women agree the foundation is easy to apply*.Focus on one area at a time and blend well.

Eastern star for women9/1/2023 The celebration, though small, includes eating dairy products, staying up all night and studying the Torah, and reading the book of Ruth. The holiday is a celebration of the anniversary of the day that God gave the Torah to the nation of Israel on Mount Sinai. It could also be said that Ruth converted for Boaz, whose kindness allowed her to support herself and her mother in law.Īlso like Esther, Ruth has a Jewish holiday that involves her, called Shavuout. It can be argued that Ruth converted for Naomi, whom Ruth refused to leave, even though Naomi warned her becoming a Jew may not allow her to lead and easy life. This is often shown through the passage found in Ruth 1:16-17 (seen above). This is true, she was born a Moabite, and converted to Judaism. An interesting note here Ruth is often touted as being the first convert to Judaism. Not exactly the most romantic story out there, but one that a lesson can be learned from nonetheless. The two are wed, and Ruth eventually becomes the great-grandmother of the biblical hero David. Luckily for them, the man was not willing to risk his inheritance, so he gives up his right to marry her. However, Boaz knew that another man was a closer kin then himself. So, Naomi sent Ruth down to the threshing floor, and submit herself at the feet of Boaz. Boaz was actually a close relative of Naomi’s, which under Levite law obligated him to marry his kin’s widow, you guessed it, Ruth. He had heard of Ruth’s kindness, and unwillingness to leave her mother in law after the deaths of her husband and children. The field that she happened to harvest in that day belonged to a man named Boaz. Ruth knows that she needs to be able to support both herself and her mother in law, so she goes to the field to glean (harvest) wheat, as it was the beginning of the barely harvest. So, Ruth goes with Naomi back to her home town, Bethlehem. Ruth’s sister in law goes with some hesitation, but Ruth tells her mother in law Naomi, “”Intreat me not to leave thee, to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, but death part thee and me.” (Ruth 1:16–17 KJV)” Her mother in law tells her to go and remarry. When we first meet Ruth, a terrible famine has taken over Israel, and has taken the life of her husband as well as his brother and father. It is broken up into four chapters, kind of like acts in a play. The book, unlike many books in the Bible, is set up in chronological order, and is a stand alone story. Ruth, like Esther, has an entire book of the Bible named after her (those are the only two named after a woman). If you’d like to go back and read any of the other star point stories, they are: Ruth is the woman I would like to focus on today. Martha, who appears often throughout the bible and therefore has many stories attached to her, I will leave for another time. The two we have left are Ruth and Martha. Since its been so crazy, I wanted to go back to the basics and work on finishing up the star points. T’s Lodge does not go dark for the summer, but my Chapter cuts down to one meeting a week, so there is a lot more time for fun activities. I ordered the first Master Craftsman (more on that next week) program for myself, so I will have a bit of school work. It’s been a bit of a crazy week at our house, school is out of session for T’s brothers, so we see them much more often, and his eldest brother graduated High School. Circular flow of economy9/1/2023 The way of measuring all these flows of money is the gross domestic product (GDP). However, this diagram introduces a clear view of how the economy works. Things such as government spending (in the form of unemployment benefits, for example) or government income ( taxes) are not shown in the diagram. For instance, take government intervention. There are a few things that are not showed in this diagram that must be taken into account to really understand how the economy of a country works. It’s worth mentioning that, as usually, diagrams do not shown how the economy actually works. The exchanges made in the economy imply a redistribution of rent according to the diagram, and the creation of value makes the economy grow. When we combine both diagrams, we get the circular-flow diagram, as shown below. Factors of production flow form households (red arrow) to firms, so they can produce more goods and services. In this case, money flows from firms to households (green arrow in the diagram below) in the form of wages in exchange for labour, interests for capital and rent for the use of land. Firms use these factors in their production. The market for factors of production is the place where households offer their labour, capital and other factors such as land, receiving an income for their use. In this case, the flow of money (green arrow in the diagram below) goes from households to firms, in exchange for finished products, which flow from firms to households (red arrow). This market represents the place where money and goods are exchanged. In other words, is the place where firms sell the goods and services they have produced, receiving a revenue paid by households. The market for goods and services is the place where households spend their money buying goods and services produced by firms. market for factors of production (such as labour or capital), where firms purchase factors of production from households in exchange for money. market for goods and services, where households purchase goods and services from firms in exchange for money The circular-flow diagram (or circular-flow model) is a graphical representation of the flows of goods and money between two distinct parts of the economy: AuthorWrite something about yourself.
