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

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
