Review: Screen Queen Foundation by Milani

Screen Queen Foundation by Milani
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 that it doesn't. It's matte. Period. End of story. I generally dislike matte foundations on my skin, so I'm annoyed by this. However, if you're into matte foundations and you want light coverage, you might really like this foundation. 

Foundation preferences are very personal. Everyone likes different things.

I also think that the price is just a little bit too high for this product. It's $14, which seems a little pricy for a drugstore brand. I think $10 or even $12 would be more appropriate.

On the plus side, this foundation comes in 45 shades, which is fantastic.

So, in conclusion, I think this foundation might be great for you if you're looking for something that is matte and has light coverage (kind of a weird combo if you ask me). Everyone else should probably skip it though.

Final Rating: 5/10

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...
