Review: PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation by Revlon

By M.C. -
A few months ago, I started hearing about Revlon's new Candid foundation on YouTube. A Revlon product hasn't disappointed me yet, so I decided to give their new foundation a try. I've been using it for about a month now, and I have some thoughts to share.

First of all, I should say that this foundation costs $10.99, which I think is very reasonable. It comes in 31 shades, which is a pretty good shade range for a drugstore brand. The shade range tilts pretty heavily toward light to medium shades, but they also have a few deep dark shades. Even though the shade range isn't perfect, I feel like it's much better than most other drugstore brands.

I should also take a second to talk about the packaging. It comes in a squeeze bottle with a pump, which I'm not sure if I like. I find the packaging to be a little strange, but I can get past it. The tube itself is a nice light pink shade, which I enjoy; it looks lovely.

Revlon describes the foundation as medium coverage with a natural finish, which is right up my alley. I've been using this foundation for a while, and I have to say that I really enjoy the formula. It looks very flattering and natural on my skin (which you would expect from a natural finish foundation). It's not too dry, and not too dewey. In my opinion, it's the perfect every day foundation for work or school.

The older I get, the more I enjoy foundations like this one. At this stage of my life, I just feel like light to medium coverage with a natural or dewey finish looks better on me. So, I think I'm really going to get on well with this foundation.

The only drawback is that, if you have a lot of texture or other imperfections, they will be very visible with this foundation. However, I think that's the case with every low to medium coverage foundation.

Overall, I think anyone with normal to dry skin would enjoy this foundation; although, it might not be great for oily skin.

Final rating: 8/10

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...

New to My Collection (November 2017)

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...
