Review: Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation by Maybelline

By M.C. -
Guys. I think I may have found my new favorite foundation! And, it's come from an unlikely source: Maybelline.

No hate to Maybelline, but, usually, I find that their products are just okay for me. However, I have to hand it to them, they really stepped it up for their new Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation. 

It is truly great.

First of all, I should that this foundation costs $13 dollars and comes in 14 shades. Personally, I think $13 is a bit expensive for a drugstore foundation, but I can live with it. Also, I hope Maybelline comes out with more shades later on. I don't think 14 is enough, but—in fairness—it's better than other brands. 

In terms of formula, I think this is a fantastic complexion product. It's marketed as a "natural looking" foundation with "medium, radiant coverage," and I think that's pretty accurate. This foundation looks very natural on the skin, but it isn't a no-makeup makeup sort of product. It has the perfect amount of coverage to give you the made-up, airbrushed look while also looking skin-like. It also has a slightly dewy, radiant finish, which is very flattering on the skin.

Obviously, if you like matte, full-coverage complexion products, this is not going to be the foundation for you. However, if you're looking for a light, natural foundation, I highly recommend checking this one out.

Final Rating: 10/10

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...
