Review: PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation by Revlon

By M.C. -
A few months ago, I started hearing about Revlon's new Candid foundation on YouTube. A Revlon product hasn't disappointed me yet, so I decided to give their new foundation a try. I've been using it for about a month now, and I have some thoughts to share.

First of all, I should say that this foundation costs $10.99, which I think is very reasonable. It comes in 31 shades, which is a pretty good shade range for a drugstore brand. The shade range tilts pretty heavily toward light to medium shades, but they also have a few deep dark shades. Even though the shade range isn't perfect, I feel like it's much better than most other drugstore brands.

I should also take a second to talk about the packaging. It comes in a squeeze bottle with a pump, which I'm not sure if I like. I find the packaging to be a little strange, but I can get past it. The tube itself is a nice light pink shade, which I enjoy; it looks lovely.

Revlon describes the foundation as medium coverage with a natural finish, which is right up my alley. I've been using this foundation for a while, and I have to say that I really enjoy the formula. It looks very flattering and natural on my skin (which you would expect from a natural finish foundation). It's not too dry, and not too dewey. In my opinion, it's the perfect every day foundation for work or school.

The older I get, the more I enjoy foundations like this one. At this stage of my life, I just feel like light to medium coverage with a natural or dewey finish looks better on me. So, I think I'm really going to get on well with this foundation.

The only drawback is that, if you have a lot of texture or other imperfections, they will be very visible with this foundation. However, I think that's the case with every low to medium coverage foundation.

Overall, I think anyone with normal to dry skin would enjoy this foundation; although, it might not be great for oily skin.

Final rating: 8/10

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

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
