Hey Now, You're an All Star: All Star Face Setting Spray by ColourPop Review

By M.C. -
Apparently I've been buying a lot of stuff from ColourPop lately because I have yet another ColourPop product to review for you today.

I've never really been interested in trying a lot of different setting sprays, and I tend to stick with setting sprays that I know I like (basically, I use Fix + all the time). However, I do like to try new setting sprays from time to time, and ColourPop's All Star Setting Spray intrigued me.

When this product was released, I was immediately drawn to it. ColourPop is one of my favorite brands, so I always give their releases a second look. According to ColourPop,  this setting spray is a "high performing setting spray that extends the wear of makeup by fighting oil and blurring pores with a weightless, micro-fine mist," which sounds great.

I'm always looking for inexpensive products that also work well, and this product sounded like it would be one of those, so I decided to pick it up. I've had it and been using it for about a month now, so I think it's time to review it.

To get right to the chase, I think this setting spray is perfectly fine. If I had to give it a grade, I would give it a B. It does extend the wear time of the makeup, but I don't think it does much so fight oil or blur pores. I haven't really seen any difference there. This spray can also make your makeup look a little cakey and heavy if you use too much of it. This setting spray also has an interesting smell; it smells a bit like sunscreen, which is strange but not unpleasant.

It is supposed to give makeup a matte finish, and I do think it does that. However, as the day goes on, you do start to lose that matte look. I was also not the biggest fan of mattifying sprays to begin with, so this product isn't really something that was designed for me. There are setting sprays that I like more. However, if you just want a basic, no frills setting spray, this is a pretty decent product, especially for the price.

This setting spray is really affordable. It's only $10, which is a great price, especially since you get 4 oz of product. As I said above, if you want a basic, everyday setting spray, this is a good value for the money.

I also think the packaging of the setting spray is really cute. I love the orange packaging and the star design on the box. I think the packaging is really attractive, and I'm very drawn to it visually. The only problem with the packaging is that the spray is not that good. The mist is supposed to be micro-fine, and it's really not. The spray does have some big droplets in it, but, overall, I think the packaging is fine.

Long story short, if you're on a budget and need a decent setting spray, you might want to look into this one.

Final rating: 6/10

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

I'm a big fan of e.l.f. complexion products, so, when I was placing a big order from their website a few months ago, I decided to check out this product: the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum. I've used it quite a few times since the order arrived, and I have to say that the name is accurate. It does make your face look beautifully bare. It's almost invisible on the skin; it's like a light veil that downplays imperfections. It really is a "your skin but better" look. E.l.f. describes it as a "weightless silky formula melts into skin for a radiant and youthful-looking glow. The luminous, dewy finish helps boost suppleness and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines," and I think that's a good description. The product basically illuminates and blurs your skin with a minimal amount of coverage. E.l.f. notes that this product has flawless coverage, but I think it's important to note that this product has very little coverage. It m

The De-Clutter is Real

By M.C. -

Let's get one thing straight, I have way too much makeup. I am confident that I will continue to have way too much makeup for the rest of my life. I have enough eyeshadow and lipstick to make sure that my lips will be sticky (weird choice of words, I know) and my eyes will be shadowed for the rest of my life -- and then some. Anyway, I don't mind having a lot of makeup, but, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming (even for me). So, I recently embarked upon a de-clutter. I especially wanted to de-clutter some stuff because I was preparing to move and I didn't want to drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my next apartment (I'm fairly sure that I did drag a lot of unnecessary stuff to my new apartment, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I managed to de-clutter quite a bit of stuff, and I wanted to talk about the items I'm getting rid of, so let's get into the details. These are the products I decided to de-clutter: Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder by S

Review: Tarte 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe

By M.C. -

I usually do my best to resist buying holiday makeup releases. Often, holiday products have a different formula and aren't as good as other products carried by the brand. However, sometimes holiday releases are just too good to miss. I recently grabbed one of Tarte's holiday releases, the 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe. As the name suggests, this is basically a face collection with nine shades of blush, highlight, and bronzer. I was primarily interested in it because 1) I like Tarte blushes and 2) the packaging was SO CUTE .  The shades come in three stacks that slide open and fold up as needed. Recently, I've been obsessed with things that come in this fun, folding packaging, so I'm really glad that Tarte released this product. I just think that this is such a good idea for travel and all that jazz. And, obviously, these little folding compacts are very easy to store, which is a positive change for Tarte considering their holiday releases are usually super
