Best Primer Ever? Poreless Putty Primer by e.l.f. Review

By M.C. -
If you've been in the makeup-verse at all recently, you've heard about e.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer. Everyone on the internet has been saying fantastic things about it, so I decided to pick it up and test it out. I've been using it for a couple of months, and I have some thoughts to share.

First of all, I should say that I've heard that this is a dupe for the Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer. I've never tried the Tatcha primer, but I have to say that I'm really enjoying this primer. It does a great job of filling your pores, extending the wear time of your makeup, and providing a tacky base for your makeup to stick to. I don't think this primer is going to change your life or make you look like a movie star or anything like that, but it does make a noticeable difference in your makeup. I should note that I don't really have any problems with pores, so you might notice a bigger difference if that's something you struggle with.

 Overall, I think this primer is one of the best I've ever tried, and it's certainly the best for the price. It's only $8.  Let me say that again: only $8! If nothing else, this primer is very cost effective. I've been using it every day for months now and I still have plenty of product left.

The only downside is the packaging. I'd rather have a squeeze bottle or something like that (I don't like having to stick my fingers into the tub). However, that's really a matter of personal preference.

So, if you've been wondering if this product lives up to the hype, I would recommend you give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Final rating: 5/5

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)

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...
