Review: Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer by Too Faced

By M.C. -
The Too Faced Born This Way foundation has been one of my favorite foundations for a while. But when Too Faced released the Born This Way concealer, I didn't feel the need to run out and buy it right away. I have quite a few concealers that I enjoy, so I didn't really feel that I needed to try anything new.

However, when I started hearing some of my favorite You Tubers mention how much they liked this concealer, I decided that I needed to give it a try. I've owned this concealer for a couple of months now, and I've had plenty of time to test it out. This is not a new product, but I wanted to give you a review anyway because I know there are probably plenty of people who are still considering whether or not to buy this product.

In case you're in a hurry, here's a summary of this concealer:

Coverage: Light to Medium
Wear Time: Approximately 8 hours
Finish: Satin
Shade Range: Good (20 shades)

My impression of this concealer is that it was designed for regular people (by which I mean non-influencers), who want a product that is easy to wear in their everyday lives. If you want a concealer that's going to help you achieve the full glam, Instagram look, this is probably not the concealer for you.

This concealer gives light to medium coverage (with emphasis on light), and it has a skin like finish. If you're familiar with the Born This Way foundation, that all probably sounds very familiar to you. This concealer is very much the concealer version of the foundation. The "look" you get with this concealer is very much "your skin but better." I think it looks very flattering on the skin. However, if you love full coverage products, this probably isn't the concealer for you. In the past, I've been a big fan of full coverage concealers like the Tarte Shape Tape, but recently I've been enjoying lighter coverage concealers.

On the non-formula side, I have to say that I also really enjoy the packaging of this concealer. In design, it's very elegant. I also really enjoy that it has a large doe-foot applicator, a la the Shape Tape concealer. This concealer also has a pretty good shade range (20 shades), which I think is important.

There are a few down sides to this concealer. I notice that it tends to start to fade and break up toward the end of the day, so it's not as long lasting as other concealers in my collection. I remedy this by mixing in a dot of another concealer. This concealer also tends to crease a bit under my eyes. Again, I think this is very fixable if you mix in a little bit of another concealer.

However, on the whole, I've been using and enjoying this concealer a lot, and I think it's a product that lots of people would enjoy.

Final Rating: 8/10

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

By M.C. -

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...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

By M.C. -

A few months ago, I started a series called New to My Collection, in which I talk about products that I've recently added to my makeup collection and what I think about them. I didn't get a ton of new things in November, so some of these things are from October. However, I want to talk about them anyway and give you my thoughts. So, without further ado, here are some products that were new to my collection in November: Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender by L'Oreal - You can stick a fancy name on a makeup sponge, but it's still just a makeup sponge and that's what this is. Personally, I think this sponge is just okay. However, I should say that I prefer sponges with a flat edge. I think this sponge is a good size, has good density, and is very good about not soaking up all your makeup. It gives nice coverage and all of that jazz; I just wish it had a flat side. That being said, I think it's a great value for the money ($8) and I would recommend picking...
