Review: Authentik Skin Natural Luminous Foundation by Zoeva

By M.C. -

I've been wanting to try a Zoeva product ever since I heard KathleenLights mention the brand in a video at least four years ago, so, when I saw that Zoeva was coming to Ulta, I got really excited.

In case you don't know, Zoeva is a European brand based in Germany. Therefore, it was somewhat difficult to get it in the US before Ulta started carrying it.

Anyway, soon after Ulta started selling Zoeva products, I decided to pick up their Authentik Skin Foundation (mostly because I'm obsessed with complexion products and their spelling of authentic intrigued me).

I've been using this foundation for a while now, and I have to say that it is a FANTASTIC product.

Well, I should say that this is a fantastic product if you like dewy foundations. As the name of this product suggests, this is a very luminous foundation. It gives your skin a beautiful, natural glow that is very flattering on the skin. It has medium to full coverage, and it builds up nicely if you're looking for more coverage. Most importantly, however, its long lasting. A lot of dewy foundations tend to break up on the skin throughout the day, but this one holds up well.

My only complaint is that this foundation does tend to crease a little bit around my mouth and chin. However, that happens to me with a lot of dewy foundations, so it's not a deal breaker for me.


I should also note that this foundation comes in 44 shades, which I think is fantastic, and costs $28, which is a very reasonable price for a brand that is sort of high end. Although, I should note that there are amazing dewy foundations at the drugstore.

So, if you're looking for a new dewy foundation, I recommend checking the Authentik Skin foundation out.

Final Rating: 9/10

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...
