Review: Screen Queen Foundation by Milani

Image
I hate to say it, but I don't think this foundation is going to be for me. I was initially interested in this foundation because Milani claims that it can help block blue light from screens, which is apparently bad for your skin. I have a coating on my eyeglasses that it supposed to filter out blue light, and it really does make a difference. So, I thought this product might be really great for my skin. However, I just think this foundation is not compatible with my skin. First of all, Milani says this is light to medium coverage, but it's really not. It's LIGHT . Very light. It's also not buildable at all . It's one of those foundations that starts to come off when you layer more on. I'm just not about that life. It also doesn't cover very well. On me, it just looks patchy . It is, however, a perfectly good mixing foundation, so it has that going for it. Milani also says that this foundation has a natural, skin-like finish. I'm here to tell you ...

Review: High Glass Finishing Powder by NYX (My Relentless Quest to GLOW)

Image
 So, if you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I am on a relentless quest to GLOW. Like, I'm drawn to every illuminating foundation, primer, powder, and setting spray on the market. I just can't help it! I just want to GLOW! Anyway, I recently saw that NYX released their new High Glass line, which is supposed to give you "healthy, glowy, hydrated-looking, complexion, "glass skin"...that looks translucent, smooth and reflective-just like a pane of glass." This immediately appealed to me because—as I said—I just want to GLOW. There are a couple of different products in this line, but I decided to pick up the  High Glass Finishing Powder because the idea of a reflective, finishing powder intrigues me. I've been using this powder for a few weeks now, and I have some THOUGHTS about this powder. First of all, I have to say that this costs $12, which seems a little much for a NYX product . I'm not hating on NYX, but I ...

Review: Hyaluronic Pretty Fresh Concealer by ColourPop (My New Favorite Concealer?)

Image
So, I think I've found my new favorite concealer. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I've been in love with Tarte's Shape Tape concealer for years , which is unfortunate because (in the words of KathleenLights) * das esspensive .* Fortunately, I think I've found my new favorite concealer: ColourPop's Hyaluronic Pretty Fresh Concealer. Now, I'm a little late to the review party with this product, but I wanted to test it well before I discussed it on this blog. I purchased this concealer about a month ago, and I've now had plenty of time to test it out and formulate my thoughts. So, I'm here to tell you that if you like Shape Tape, you'll love this concealer. Obviously it's not for everyone, but I think the Pretty Fresh Concealer is almost perfect as a product: it has a good shade range, it has full coverage , it doesn't crease very much (come on, every concealer creases a *little* bit), and i...
