Review: Ulta Collection Full Coverage Liquid Concealer

By M.C. -
Recently, I've heard several people on YouTube talking about the Full Coverage Liquid Concealer from the Ulta Collection. The YouTubers that I saw talking about it seemed to really like this concealer, so I thought I'd pick it up and try it out.

I've been using this concealer for a few weeks, and I have some thoughts.

First of all, let's go over the details. It costs $9, which is a very affordable price.  The product also comes with .8 ounces; that's not a ton of product, but it is a good value for the price. This is from the Ulta Collection, so, obviously, you can only purchase it at Ulta. Unfortunately, the shade range for this product isn't very good. There are 12 shades total, but only 2 deep shades, which is pretty bad.

In terms of the finish, I would say that this concealer is demi-matte with medium to full coverage.

Anyway, now that we've touched on the details, let's talk about the actual product. I've used this concealer a lot, and I've tried it with a bunch of different foundations, and I just don't like it very much. I really wanted to like this concealer, but I just can't get into it. The coverage is pretty good (as I said above, it has medium to full coverage), which I like. However, the heavy coverage just isn't very flattering. This concealer starts to look really heavy and really cakey really fast. The other problem with this concealer is that it doesn't really blend out very well. It doesn't really blend well with the makeup underneath, so it looks kind of odd on the skin. Another problem is that this concealer creases a lot on me. Now, most concealers crease on me. However, this one is particularly bad. It just creases so much! It's not a cute look.

 Overall, I wouldn't recommend this concealer. It's just difficult to work with, and, even though it's cheap, it's not worth the money. If you want a cheap concealer, I recommend Wet n' Wild's Photo Focus concealer or Makeup Revolution's Conceal & Define Full Coverage concealer.

Final rating: 2/10

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
