Review: Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation by CoverGirl

By M.C. -
If you want to GLOW, boy do I ever have a foundation for you.

I've been testing out CoverGirl's new foundation for a few weeks now, and, let me tell you, it is a DEWY foundation.

Personally, I'm all about that GLOW, so I've been absolutely loving this foundation. CoverGirl describes it as "a glowing, dewy finish that lasts all day long, blurring imperfections and creating a more even skin tone," and I think that's pretty accurate. Like I said, this is an incredibly dewy foundation; it gives your skin a very fresh, luminous look that I think is very attractive. I would describe the coverage as medium, although you can build this up to something that's more full coverage. I will say however that this feels pretty light and comfortable on the skin.

My only complaint about the formula is that it is not an "all day long" foundation. This will crease and start to wear away after a few hours, so I highly recommend either a) mixing it with another foundation or b) adding a layer of concealer to your problem areas. Personally, I have no problems wearing this foundation on its own as long as I use a good concealer. I also mix this foundation sometimes (which I do with all my foundations), and that works beautifully.

I think it's also important to note that the shade range for this foundation is not fantastic. It only comes in 14 shades, so I think there's a lot of room for improvement here. Hopefully CoverGirl will improve their shade range in the near future.

I should also mention that this foundation retails for about $12, which I think is pretty reasonable for a CoverGirl product, especially one this good. In general, I think almost all drugstore products are priced too high these days, but given the current market trends, I think $12 is a decent price.

So, if you're looking for an affordable, illuminating foundation, I recommend giving this product a second look. It's definitely going to be one of my favorites for a long time to come.

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
