Review: Infallible Fresh Wear 24HR Foundation by L'Oréal

By M.C. -
I'm always up for trying new foundations, especially drugstore foundations. When L'Oréal released their new Infallible Fresh Wear 24HR Foundation, I was super excited because I've used and loved L'Oréal foundations in the past. Plus, this foundation got some positive reviews on YouTube.

So, the next time I was placing an order from Ulta, I dropped this into my cart. I've now had pleanty of time to try this foundation out, and I'm ready to give you my thoughts.

First of all, I want to let you know that this foundation is avalible in 30 shades, which is exciting. It costs $14.99, which seems pretty reasonable to me. It's described as having a natural finish that is suitable for every skin type.

I don't really agree with that description. On me, the foundation came off as pretty matte, which I don't like. Although I know a lot of people liked this foundation, this formula really wasn't for me. 

This foundation was just not very flattering on my skin. The coverage is light to medium, but I felt like it didn't really cover the imperfections in my skin and really emphasized the texture of my skin. Plus, it was really matte on me, so I feel like it made my skin look really dry. It also seemed to break down pretty quickly on my skin, which may have been a side effect of the light coverage.  I was really only able to get like 4-5 hours of wear out of this foundation, which is not very good.

Long story short, I was not the biggest fan of this product. In fact, I've already de-cluttered it and passed it along to a friend who wanted to try it. As I said, I know a lot of people have tried and enjoyed this foundation, but, for whatever reason, it just isn't behaving with my skin.

 Final rating: 4/10

Review: Tarte 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe

By M.C. -

I usually do my best to resist buying holiday makeup releases. Often, holiday products have a different formula and aren't as good as other products carried by the brand. However, sometimes holiday releases are just too good to miss. I recently grabbed one of Tarte's holiday releases, the 9 Ways To Shine Cheek Wardrobe. As the name suggests, this is basically a face collection with nine shades of blush, highlight, and bronzer. I was primarily interested in it because 1) I like Tarte blushes and 2) the packaging was SO CUTE .  The shades come in three stacks that slide open and fold up as needed. Recently, I've been obsessed with things that come in this fun, folding packaging, so I'm really glad that Tarte released this product. I just think that this is such a good idea for travel and all that jazz. And, obviously, these little folding compacts are very easy to store, which is a positive change for Tarte considering their holiday releases are usually super

The Violet One Lash Primer by Milani: Review

By M.C. -

I don't normally use lash primer, but recently I've heard good things about the Violet One lash primer by Milani, so I decided to try it out. I've now been using it for about a month, and I have some thoughts to share. First of all, I should say that this primer DEFINITELY makes a difference. Sometimes, I feel like primers in general are just an extra step, but every now and then you stumble upon one that is really good. This primer really does lengthen and volumize your lashes. In fact, when used properly, it almost gives a false lash effect. Milani calls it a "next-level lash primer with a better than falsies formula that really does it all," and I think that's pretty accurate. When layered with regular mascara, the primer gives you longer and fuller lashes. However, this product does have some problems. First of all, it clumps like CRAZY. You have to be very careful when applying this primer, otherwise you end up with major spider lashes. That loo

Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum by e.l.f.: Review

By M.C. -

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
