Best Primer Ever? Poreless Putty Primer by e.l.f. Review

By M.C. -
If you've been in the makeup-verse at all recently, you've heard about e.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer. Everyone on the internet has been saying fantastic things about it, so I decided to pick it up and test it out. I've been using it for a couple of months, and I have some thoughts to share.

First of all, I should say that I've heard that this is a dupe for the Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer. I've never tried the Tatcha primer, but I have to say that I'm really enjoying this primer. It does a great job of filling your pores, extending the wear time of your makeup, and providing a tacky base for your makeup to stick to. I don't think this primer is going to change your life or make you look like a movie star or anything like that, but it does make a noticeable difference in your makeup. I should note that I don't really have any problems with pores, so you might notice a bigger difference if that's something you struggle with.

 Overall, I think this primer is one of the best I've ever tried, and it's certainly the best for the price. It's only $8.  Let me say that again: only $8! If nothing else, this primer is very cost effective. I've been using it every day for months now and I still have plenty of product left.

The only downside is the packaging. I'd rather have a squeeze bottle or something like that (I don't like having to stick my fingers into the tub). However, that's really a matter of personal preference.

So, if you've been wondering if this product lives up to the hype, I would recommend you give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Final rating: 5/5

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
