Hey guys! Today I wanted to review the tarte face tape. I have heard alot about this before but had never personally tried it. I am loving it though, I see why it was/is so popular. This has really good coverage and is actually relativily thick but not like cakey. This covers my dark circles really well and also covers blemishes really well, I have personally been using it as concealer alot and it works really well like that as well as being a great coverage foundation. I am really liking this and will totally look into getting more of this in the full size.  

Hey guys!! So this one was a kinda on a whim purchase for me, I was looking around ultas website and new I wanted a foundation for the summer and new I like Urban Decay so I picked this up. It looked pretty and I like almost everything I have ever gotten from UD so I was like let's try it out. I really really like this, it is a little more full coverage than I expected but honestly I don't mind because it is still super light weight and a little goes a long way. My favorite way to apply when I want it thinner is with my damp beauty blender, if I want fuller coverage I use my hands to apply. This stays put really well and blends out beautifully, I haven't had any patchy spots or areas it built up at all. This creates a really good base for my powder products and doesn't budge (sometimes I find adding pressed powder can make certain types of foundation kinda cover less). This is not a matte finish but adding powder can make it more matte if you prefer that, I would say th...

Hey guys! Today I am going to review the It Cosmetics CC+ Cream. I really do like this, it is very full coverage though so for that reason and the fact I accidentally got a shade too dark (oops, thought I was slightly tanner but nope) I only use half a pump at a time. Half a pump however is still plenty of coverage. I find I prefer to use a wet sponge to apply this just to tone it down a bit and make it more dewy. I got this as more of a summer foundation so I feel like it looks really nice dewy for summer looks. It seems to protect my skin from the sun as well as any other spf makeup I have used. To be honest I almost never have my face burned if I have on makeup though. Not sure if this would last great in the water, it might last very briefly, but you would need to reapply it occasionally to keep the sun protection.  I definately think this could get cakey if not used sparingly so keep that in mind. I really do like this though and will total...

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Marcelle City Tinted Cream. I actually really like this. It matches my skin really well and blends really nicely. It has pretty good lasting power and as far as I can tell the SPF works well. I like this so much I am looking into buying the full size to use this summer. It is only around $20 so it isn't bad at all. This is in my top 10 of favorite products I have received from my subscription boxes (this one was from Birchbox). I would definately recommend looking into this!

Hey guys!! Tonight I'm reviewing the Advanced Real Moisture Liquid Foundation. I like this if I'm not feeling like really doing a heavier foundation.  It has decent coverage and evens out my skin tone nicely. It makes my skin look healthy and glowy. I typically just apply this with my fingers and it blends quite well and matches my skin tone perfectly. I'm not sure I'd repurchase it, but I do like it.

I have NEVER heard of this brand before I got this from ipsy so I was very interested to try this.  I wasn't sure it'd match my skin tone but it actually matches perfectly. It goes on very smoothly and blends very nicely.  It is very light with pretty minimal coverage,  but it creates a glowy look. It has very good lasting power and stays In place all day. I wouldn't recommend this on a bad skin day unless you want to use lots of concealer but on a normal day this looks very nice. I actually quite like this.

So I was gonna do a post on my new blog look, and I still am,  but I thought I should do this one first. Now if you've been a reader for a while  you'll know I rarely give something a genuinely bad review,  neutral maybe,  but not bad. I hate this.  This didn't blend into my skin well at all on my cheeks and neck. Even after k went back and tried to blend more it still looked streaky and just bad.  It also stung my skin for some reason.  I actually ended up removing all my makeup and I was going to just leave it since I needed to go to work,  but my skin was red I'm assuming from this product and I actually had to just redo my face to cover it with a different foundation.  I've been using a higher end product lately so I'm sure I'm slightly spoiled from that but I've had much better drug store foundations and I don't recommend this at all. Not to say it wouldn't work for you,  but I just really don't like...

Hey guys!! Today I'm reviewing the Luxie Beauty Foundation Brush 660.  This is very pretty and I love the colors. As far as how well it works, it works ok but I honestly still prefer my  Sedona Lace 928 Brush  to anything else I've tried for applying foundation.  This just doesn't blend It as well in my personal opinion.  That being said I'm sure their are people who love this type of foundation brush,  I'm just not one of them yet. 

Hey guys!! I thought today I'd review the Make Up Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation.  I really like this.  It is very light but still has great coverage.  I really don't need that much concealer when I use this. It has decent lasting power, but a primer definitely helps. I'm actually considering buying the full size version  of this. 

Hey guys!! How's it going? Today I'm reviewing the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation.  I recently got this and I have mixed feeling on it.  It has pretty good coverage,  I'd say medium coverage. It stays put quite well and doesn't wear off throughout my day. The thing I don't necessarily like, I'm very pale,  and although this is in Ivory, their lightest shade, it's a little dark in me unless I use self tanner. Not so much it's obvious,  but enough I notice and other people who do makeup might be able to notice. So would I recommend this? If you have somewhat tanned darker skin, yes. If your super pale like me, no. If your really pale I'd recommend something more like  Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation . It has more color varieties,  so you can get your exact match.

Hey guys!! Today I thought I'd review the Bare Minerals Original Powder Foundation. I was really really hoping I'd like this. I love Bare Minerals eyeshadows so I had high hopes. Personally though, I don't love it, I think it makes my skin  look pretty dull when I use it. It also has very little coverage, maybe that's normal for powder foundation?  This is the first I've tried so I'm not sure, but on the days where I feel I need that little coverage I don't tend to wear any makeup so I really haven't used this much. On the bright side it matches my skin tone very well and is quite easy to blend (is blending even a word to use with powder? Lol). I will still try this a few more times as I have a lot left but I likely will not be repurchasing it. Have any of you guys tried this? Did you like it?

I'm gonna start off my "What's that make up for?" Series with foundation since that's the base of the other make up. In the first pic I don't have ANY make up on, all I've done is washed my face with my Clean and Clear Moring Burst facial wash, put on Clean and Clear Persa Gel, and moisturized with my Clean and Clear morning glow moisturizer. In the second picture I have on my Maybelline Fit me Foundation in the color 110 Porcelain. The job of foundation is to be a base for other make up as well as to take out any redness you may have in your face. Also to help cover acne and other imperfections.  It helps to create an illusion of "perfect" skin. As you can see my in the before and after my skin is already looking better and more even. The foundations in my picture are all liquid foundation because that's the kind I prefer to wear, but you can also get powder foundations (Bare Minerals sells them) as well a...

I saw a commercial for this and really wanted to try it and I was finally able to get it for my birthday. I actually really like this, it has light to medium coverage and leaves a kind of glowy look even though it's matte. I don't find this is the BEST for covering acne, but even with that in mind I still love it. It also matches my skin relativity well, I was debating between porcelain and the next shade up which I believe was Ivory, but I'm not sure. I went with porcelain and I think it's a good winter/ early spring shade for me. I think in the summer I might go up one shade, but I'm not certain.  I'd definitely recommend this if you guys are looking for a nice matte foundation with light/medium coverage for summer. :)

I've had this for a few months now so I decided it was time to do a review. I have the color Alabaster which is a cool shade. It actually matches my skin tone perfectly so that's a really big plus. This lasts all day long, but on me it doesn't really help all that much with my skin getting oily/shiny looking. I actually think this might make my skin look MORE shiny because it has a bit of a dewy finish (which is great if your skin isn't already oily). That being said I do like this, but I'm not sure I'll repurchase it because of the shine factor but I think if you have normal or dry skin then this would be something good to try and they have plenty of shades so it's a good chance you'll be able to find your skin tone.
