September Favorites and an Unfavorite

Hello everybody and thank you for reading today’s post, which is my September favorites and even an unfavorite. I know it has been quite a while since my last post and I just wanted to tell you guys thank you for sticking through it with me, I recently moved and it has been a little more stressful than I imagined. I will be having a life update post about all that up on Wednesday, as well as a haul/first impressions post up on Friday. I am trying to post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this month as well as daily on Instagram. So let’s hope I can keep it up, and let’s jump on into this post.

img_4809

My first favorite for the month of September is actually a product that I tried once and hated, then never picked it up again until this month and I fell in love. It is the Real Techniques 102 triangle concealer brush. I do not even know why I didn’t like this brush at first, I think it is because back then I was only using a beauty blender for my concealer, but now I love using this brush. I switch between this brush and a tiny beauty blender, but I think this brush gets the job done quick. I like using this brush when I use more concealer since the beauty blender I use is so small. I think it has great coverage, and I love the triangular shape it has so I can get all areas covered easily. This retails for $15.00 and I got this at Ulta, but I know it is available online as well.

The next favorite I have is the Studio Makeup on-the-go eyeshadow palette. I received this at the beginning of the month in my Boxycharm and I have not put it down. I am so in love with this palette, it is extremely pigmented and blends like a dream. It has a little bit of fall out, but honestly I don’t mind. The very middle shade that is like a dark orange shimmery copper shade is possibly my favorite eyeshadow shade ever. Also, I do not own the Kylie Cosmetics palette but this palette looks like it could be similar, it has similar shades and the same type of packaging. This is definitely my new favorite palette at the moment, and will probably go with me whenever I travel. To me this palette is a little pricey because I have never heard of this brand, but the quality is awesome so I think the $49.95 price tag is worth it if you have the extra cash. You can buy this online on the Studio Makeup website.

My third favorite product I have this month is the Jouer essential lip enhancer. I received this product in my Fall September Beautycon box this month, but I have actually used this product before. I finished an entire tube of this product a few months ago and never repurchased but this brought my love for the product back. I use this product every single week day morning before I go to work. It really makes my lips hydrated and I wish I took a before picture because I have started to notice my lips are a lot fuller. I just have the original one, but I also know they sell them in tinted colors. You can buy these on the Jouer website for $16. This is my favorite lip treatment ever, and I think it is definitely worth the money. I might actually go buy a back up right now!

img_4805

My next favorite actually isn’t a makeup product, it is a bracelet I received in my latest Rocksbox. If you do not have Rocksbox, I suggest you go back a few posts and read my post about it. It is an unlimited jewelry rental subscription and has amazing products. You can get your first month free with the code “CORINNASCORNERXOXOXO” and you won’t regret it. This is the silver Moonsong Cuff by Jenny Bird. It is bendable so it can be totally adjusted any size you’d like. I love it. It is so simple but it can go with any outfit, and I am just so in love with it. I actually first saw it worn by youtuber, LeighannSays, and I fell in love with the Jenny Bird brand. That is how I knew to put Jenny Bird on my Rocksbox wishlist. This retails for $85 on the Jenny Bird site, but you can get it at a discounted member price if you do decide to sign up for Rocksbox.

img_4807

My final favorite for the month of September are the Tarte Lip Sculptors. I have the shade Rogue which is a dark berry shade, and I also have the shade Basic which is the perfect nude shade. These are lipsticks on one end, with a matching lipgloss on the other end. I always wear lipstick under my gloss, so I love how these shades match perfectly and I’m not searching for a gloss and lipstick that match. I also really like the formula of the gloss, it is long lasting and not too sticky. These are exclusive to Ulta, and retail for $24 which I think is a great price especially because they are like a 2 for 1 product. Basic is definitely my favorite shade out of the 2 I purchased.

img_4806

So now for my unfavorite for September. I really do not like the Ole Henriksen sheer transformation moisturizer. I tested this product out a few months ago and thought it was making me oily, so stopped using it. I started using it again to give it another chance and I am convinced this product breaks me out. I rarely ever ever ever get acne, maybe 1 or 2 zits at a time. Using this product at one point I had 6 different problem spots on my face. It was ridiculous and the worst my skin has ever been. Once I stopped using this moisturizer, it was fine again. I am not even going to look up the price of this product (although I do think it is $15 at Sephora for the smallest size)  because I do not want you all to waste your money. So disappointed in this moisturizer.

img_4808

That is it for this post, and the end of September 2016. I hope you all had a great month and here is to an awesome October. I can’t wait for Fall and the holiday seasons. I am so ready! Until next time, thank you all for reading.

Beauty Wishlist

Hey everyone, for today’s post I decided to share with you all the top 5 items I have on my current beauty related wish list. There is no specific order of these items but they are my top 5, and I have not purchased any of these items before. Let’s get started.

First on the list is, Josie Maran Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation. So I absolutely need to get my hands on this foundation. Beauty youtuber, Jaclyn Hill, raves about this foundation and swears it is amazing. I have pretty dry skin so any type of foundation that is suppose to make my skin dewy and vibrant, I want to try it. I also love Josie Maran’s other products, especially her argan oil. I typically mix a drop or two into my foundations I use now, so for this foundation to already have it, it is perfect. You can get this at Sephora for $45.

group3_edit_edit__92446-1456259786-1000-1000

Number 2 on the list goes to, the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. I have never tried a primer that is like this primer before. I love the fact that it is just a nice light water that you mist onto your face and you don’t have to rub it in. To me, it doesn’t seem like it would be cakey or heavy on your skin. Like I said previously, I have dry skin so the fact that this is suppose to hydrate and revitalize your skin really attracts me. This goes for $32, full size.

The number 3 spot on the list is the Wave Spray by Ouai. Now I really want to try not only this product, but the Ouai brand in general. Jen Atkins is the creator of the Oaui hair care brand and she is a really respected hair stylist in the beauty world. I have been seeing a lot of good reviews about this spray and I know Khloe Kardashian uses it quite a bit too. This spray is suppose to give you cute, beach style waves without the crunchy dryness that other sprays can give you. It goes for $26.00.

The next product on my list is by Nails Inc. It is their Paint Can Spray On Nail Polish. You can buy this unique product at Sephora for only $12. Now I have a huge obsession with packaging. If a product has cute, interesting, and eye-catching packaging then I am going to buy it. So not only do I love this packaging and think it is super cool that it looks like a spray paint can, but I also love the idea of just spraying on my nail polish. I hate painting my nails, so if using this product is as easy and mess free as it is advertised to be, I would love to try it.

s1800432-main-hero.jpg

Finally, the #5 spot goes to the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops. These drops go for $42 and are an amazing highlighting product. From the swatches I have seen these drops look like liquid metal. I also love the fact that they are drops, so you can customize your highlight however you want. You can mix shades, mix it with your foundation, and use as much or as little as you want. I have also seen people just use it right on top of their foundations. They have six different shades, 4 highlights and 2 bronzers. To me this product definitely looks like a must try product.

Elf Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone! I know it has been a while since my last post, thanks for sticking with me, I plan on having a lot more content coming this Fall. Today I am going to do a brand review on Elf Cosmetics. I have a lot of products from them so let’s jump on it.

IMG_3990

So for when it comes to eyes, I own 7 different eyeshadow duos from Elf. I got these during the holiday season, at Target. For the eyeshadows, I think they are very pigmented especially for the price. You can buy eyeshadow palettes from Elf for $6-$10, as well as eyeshadow trios for only $4. The eyeshadows can be a little patchy, and also a little difficult to blend, but for the price I really don’t think they are too bad. You can definitely make them work if you are makeup shopping on a budget.

IMG_3986

When it comes to Elf face products, I will first discuss what products I dislike, and then which products I do like.

I have tried the Elf daily hydration moisturizer ($8), as well as the hydrating primer ($6) and I dislike both of those products. I felt like they weren’t hydrating, they just made my face slightly oily and then it went back to being dry. The primer is extremely oily and did not help my makeup last longer at all. I also dislike Elf concealers. I have tried the Elf perfect blend concealer ($2), and it is extremely liquidy. It has barely any coverage and I feel like you really have to cake it on for just the smallest amount of coverage. It does nothing for me and it was really just a waste of money. I also have the under eye conceal & highlighter which is a duo liquid stick. It also has no consistency and has basically no coverage. The highlighter is white with glitter in it, which I dislike. The concealer is better than the other concealer but still little to no coverage at all. I also have the flawless face powder which I liked the color and how creamy it was, but it was not long lasting and also you had to really put it on to get the right amount of coverage.

For face products I do like, I really like their cream products. I really enjoy the Contouring blush & bronzing cream ($4). I own it in the shade St. Lucia, and it is a really pretty color. The creams are very blendable and a little bit goes a long way. I also have the HD blush in the shade Headliner ($3). It is a very pretty pink color, and it also blends amazing. The only thing I dislike about the blush is that it is difficult to pump out, and can get a bit messy, but for the price I think it is an amazing product.

IMG_3987

So for Elf lip products, I will review the ones I have in order from top to bottom of the swatches. The first lip swatch is of the “Nude Pink” lip liner ($3), which also has a lip brush on the other end. I do think this liner is very creamy, and a very pretty color. I like that it has a brush, even though the brush is a little bit on the bigger side for a lip brush. I do have to say though that I prefer NYX lip liners over this one. This liner is easy to smudge and is not transfer proof at all. The next two swatches are of the Matte lip colors ($3), in the shades Natural, and Cranberry. I do love these lip pencils, they are very creamy and pigmented. The color is beautiful. I just recommend keeping the pencils on you because you will need to reapply, but they are a very pretty and not drying on the lips at all. The next swatch is of a jumbo lip gloss stick ($2) in the shade Pink Umbrella. I don’t really like this product, I think it is a little heavy on the lips formula wise, and it wasn’t very much like a gloss either. Lastly is the lip balm tint ($2), which is a very light pretty color. This is a good product to use for a light soft color on your lips, and a light formula that is good for dry lips. I sometimes just apply this over chapstick for a soft hint of color.

IMG_3988

Lastly are just some random Elf products that I own. My hands down favorite Elf product ever is their angled blush brush. I use this brush every single day for my blush, and I love it. It is so soft and blends my blush just perfectly. The brush is only $4, it is amazing. I also own the daily brush cleaner ($3) and I use it occasionally if my brushes are getting really dirty, but I don’t think this is a must have product. It doesn’t do an amazing job cleaning brushes, but it is alright if you are switching shades and using the same brush. I also have the makeup remover pen ($3) and I think I will just stick to q-tips or makeup wipes. This product dries out easily and also isn’t great at removing makeup. I was really disappointed. One product I own that is not pictured is the lip exfoliator stick ($3) and I love using that product when washing my face. I use it to get the dry skin off of my lips when they are chapped, and it works great. For $3, I think it is totally worth the money.

IMG_3989

Alright guys, that is it for my post today. Let me know if you have any must-have Elf products that I should try. Overall I think Elf Cosmetics can definitely be hit or miss, but for the price it is always worth a try. Thanks for reading!

New Beauty Products Review

Hey everyone! For Today’s post I am going to review some new products I have been testing out and using. Some makeup, skincare, and even tanning lotion, so let’s just jump on in to the reviews.

The first new product I have been using is the Ka-Brow brow gel by Benefit. I love this product. It makes my brows look better than any other product I have used. I use the shade “4” and it matches my brows perfectly. It reminds me a lot of the Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow but the packaging is cuter and easier to use. It also comes with a little brush, which I love. Benefit has released a lot of new brow products lately and this product really makes me want to go try them all. I got this at Sephora and it retails for $24.

IMG_3687

The next product I purchased are the new Tarte 911 under eye rescue patches. It is basically a gel under eye mask that decreases puffiness and dark circles. I have been seeing these constantly used on the Tarte snapchat and have been dying to try them. The first time I tried them was after a night out in Las Vegas and the next morning they made my eyes look so much better. I will definitely be using these the morning after long nights. I also put them in the fridge so they are even cooler, and more refreshing. You are suppose to keep them on for 10-15 minutes, so I just use them before I am going to do my makeup. They sell them at Sephora for $22.

IMG_3689

The next product isn’t a new product to the market but it is new to me. After seeing so many good reviews I finally ordered the Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter by The Balm. I am not really in love with this product. I was expecting to receive this product and absolutely fall in love with it, but no. I think the reason I don’t like it is because I just set my expectations too high. I do like the formula, it isn’t very creamy but it is blendable and long lasting. My main issue is I was expecting a beautiful highlight and to me, this highlighter is very subtle and almost just blends in to well with my skin tone. I do think it would be a good highlighter for a no makeup, natural look. You can purchase this on The Balm’s website for $24.

IMG_3684

Next is a product that was actually given to me by my step-sister, the Loving Tan 2 hour express deluxe bronzing mousse. I am very fair and used the Dark shade and it turned out beautiful. I used this for the first time the day I left for Las Vegas. I love how convenient it is, because you only have to wait at least 2 hours to wash it off. Although you could leave it on longer for more color. I was nervous because before I washed it off it did look extremely blotchy, but it turned out even and beautiful. I used a Morphe M439 to apply and blend it. I recommend watching Jaclyn Hill’s self tanning tutorial, which is what I followed. This retails for $39.95 on the Loving Tan website and it is an Australian based company so the shipping does take a while and can be pricey, but to me it is worth it.

IMG_3685

Last but certainly not least I want to talk about the new Urban Decay one & done hybrid complexion perfector. This is basically a light coverage foundation/ sunscreen/ BB cream, I would say. It does have SPF 20 so that to me is always a plus. I love just throwing some of this on and heading out the door. It is very long lasting and is a very lightweight feel on my face. It blends really well and doesn’t look to cakey. I used the shade Light. The only issue I had with this is I feel like the bottle that I received wasn’t very full. The first time I used it I noticed how light the bottle felt. It retails at Sephora for $34.

IMG_3686

That is it for my reviews today! Thank you all so much for reading and being a part of my blogging journey. Until next time.

MCM: Makeup Crush Monday

Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to another Makeup Crush Monday! Today I will be talking about a product that I recently bought and fell absolutely in love with, the Loreal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator. Oh Lord, if you ladies want to glow then this is what you need to know…about this product!

IMG_3277

This product retails for $12.99 and it is available at Ulta, or most drugstores. The shade I own is c301 Ice Glace, but there are two other shades as well, Rose and Golden. I will eventually be buying those shades as well because I love this product so much. This is a multi use liquid illuminator and can be worn many different ways. You can wear this under your foundation all over your face for a nice glow to your skin, you can also wear this mixed with your foundation or over your foundation. You can wear this as just a highlighter, or all over for an overall dewy look.

IMG_3278

My favorite way to wear this product is to just mix it right in with my foundation, it really does give me a nice glow all throughout my face. I also love how a little bit goes a long way with this product. I have fair skin, so if you have a tan skin tone you may want to get a different shade to ensure that it does actually highlight your skin.

IMG_3285

I am very happy with this product and I will definitely be repurchasing this. I think this will definitely become a go-to product for me, especially during these warmer summer months. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you have an amazing rest of your week!

Makeup Collection: Eyeshadow Palettes

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share more of my makeup collection with all of you. These are my eyeshadow palettes, not including my drug store palettes. All of these palettes I have boughten at either Sephora or Ulta. So I am just going to jump right in with the reviews!

IMG_3237

These swatches up above are from the Urban Decay X Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette. The first thing I want to mention about this palette is I love the packaging! I love the packaging for the whole collaboration they did together but especially the palette. The white with black polka dots really does remind me of Gwen Stefani and her fun edgy style. These shadows are very creamy and blendable, like most Urban Decay shadows, but I do think some of the shades lack a little bit in pigment. These are not all the shades but the shades swatched above from top to bottom are… 1987, Danger, Harajuka, Pop, Steady, Serious, Punk, and Anaheim. This collaboration is limited edition and both Ulta and Sephora have these products for a reduced price. I believe this eye palette is currently only $25 at Sephora. For 15 different shades, I think this is a great palette at a great price!

IMG_3261

This is the Lorac Reisling Romance eyeshadow palette, and this palette is absolute garbage. I am honestly not even sure why I still have this palette, I will probably just keep it for my Goddaughter to play with. I bought this on sale at Ulta for about $15 I believe a few months ago. These shades have little to no pigment, the only one with decent pigment is the darkest shade on the right side. I do not own any other Lorac palettes but I have heard good things about the Lorac Pro line and do want to try those palettes out. This palette though is an absolute no for me.

IMG_3254

This palette right here is from Urban Decay. It is an older palette of theirs that is no longer available. I am honestly not even sure what the name of the palette is, but it is silver packaging with a purple skull on the front. It is very similar to their Shadow Box palette that is available at Ulta for $34. It has a few more shadows in it, and very similar shades to this. These shades from top to bottom are… Sin, Chopper, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Shattered, Grifter, and Polyester Bride. These shadows are amazing! The pigment, how creamy and blendable they are, everything is awesome. In my opinion Urban Decay definitely have some of the best eye shadows in the game.

IMG_3268

This palette right here is also from Urban Decay and it is the Naked 2 Palette. Everybody knows that the Naked Palettes from Urban Decay are staples in everyones collection. This is definitely an everyday palette that I love. This is one of my favorite palettes to travel with because the packaging is so sturdy and I love the brush it comes with as well. I think this is a great palette with colors that look goon on all eye colors and skin tones. I need to get the rest of the Naked Palettes and really complete my collection.

IMG_3251

These three swatches are from Tarte’s Golden Days & Sultry Nights Palette. This is a small palette from Tarte and I am not sure if it is still available. I got this palette on sale from Ulta about 6 months ago for only about $15 I believe. These 3 shades are so creamy and pigmented, they don’t have any shade names but I LOVE that blue shade. It is so pretty. This was a great find that I came across because I love how pigmented these are. It also comes with what I believe is a highlight and contour shade (a white, and warm light brown shade), but those for some reason have little to no pigment and don’t really show up on my skin. For what I spent though, these 3 shades are definitely worth it to me.

IMG_3273

This palette right here is also from Tarte and one of my FAVORITE palettes ever… This is the original Tartelette palette. This palette is so blendable and has such nice everyday shades and some awesome transition shades. I use this palette multiple times a week and never get tired of it. I also really want to get the Tartelette in Bloom palette and that is the newer version of this palette. This is also a palette I love to travel with because of how sleek and easy the packaging is.

IMG_3245

Last but certainly not least is my Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette. Guys…this palette smells like chocolate! I love Too Faced, honestly I have not tried a single product from them that I have not liked. This palette is incredibly blendable, as well as pigmented. It has such fun shades that you can do a crazy look, or a subtle everyday look. I love how the shadows are heart shaped, and also the shade names are so cute. In this picture I watched from top to bottom.. Early Grey, Totally Fetch, Black Currant, Cafe Au Lait, Cotton Candy, Mocha, Molasses Chip, and Sprinkles. The pigment is this palette is unreal! This palette definitely makes me want more of the Too Faced palettes. They are all just so fun and cute, with amazing products.

Well everyone, that is my eyeshadow palette collection. I do have a few drugstore eyeshadow palettes as well but I will save those for another time. Thank you all for reading. Let me know in the comments below if I am missing any awesome palettes that are must haves!

Weekend Must Haves

IMG_2824

Hey guys! So today is another Weekend Must Haves, Im getting this up pretty late, I want to try and post my Must Haves on Friday night and it is already Saturday afternoon, so I am sorry about that. This weekend is a very hot, sweaty, 85-95 degree weather weekend, and it is not a full glam weekend for me. I will be running errands, getting my hair done, and also going to the County Fair. So I am keeping my makeup light and simple for this hot weather. Lets just jump in!

IMG_2827

First up I have the NYX Beauty Balm in the shade 02, “natural”. On hot days when I know I’m going to be in the sun I hate wearing really heavy foundation and makeup, I get all sweaty and it just ends up feeling totally gross. So I really love this product. It works as a primer and/or foundation. It brightens, smoothes, and moisturizes your skin. I love it, it matches my skin tone well and I will just wear this alone on my face and it gives me just the right amount of coverage without feeling like I have mud on my face. This retails at Ulta for only $12.99 which to me is a great price because it can be used as a primer as well. I also like it because I don’t necessarily need concealer with it, and it is last longing as well, even in the heat.

IMG_2828

Second product I want to share with you is Benefit’s Dandelion Shy Beam highlighter. This is a nude pinkish color, and it is matte. This is liquid and it has almost like a paint brush little applicator. I apply with that and then blend out with either my finger or my beauty blender. This is such a nice lightweight subtle highlight for the days I do not wear a lot of makeup. I love this for my cupid’s bow and also on my cheek bones. It is a matte finish. This product retails at Sephora for $26. I feel like the $26 is worth it because with this product a little goes a long way. I have also heard of other people who like to use this as an under eye concealer because it has no shimmer, which I haven’t personally tried yet but I do want too. This is my favorite highlight for a low glam, hot day.

IMG_2832

This is the Pur Cosmetics Miracle Mist spray. This spray is a hydrating setting spray. I love it. I spray it on my face to set my makeup, and I also spray it on my arms and legs for a really nice hydrated feel. It is almost like a liquid spray lotion. This retails for $19 at Ulta and is totally worth it. I’ve been using this one for about 4 months and it isn’t even half way gone yet. It has a very light citrus scent but that goes away after it dries. I highly recommend this setting spray if you have dry skin and want a little extra hydration.

IMG_2831

These are my go to hair ties when I am getting ready, running errands, or to just throw in my bag in case I get hot and my hair becomes a hot mess. I am not sure of the actual brand these specific ones are but I know you can find packs of these at drug stores and ulta, even Sephora has their own. I got these specific ones in my Beautycon X Graveyard Girl box, and I love the cute blue/green shades they are. I love these hair ties not necessarily for a tight put together hair look because they can get loose, and fall out over time if worn for more then a few hours. I like these ones when its hot and I’m doing my makeup to keep my hair out of my face, and also because they don’t leave a big indent in my hair the way regular hair ties do. I also like to keep some with me when I’m driving, so I can put my hair up while I drive and they won’t really mess up my hair if its straightened or anything.

IMG_2826

My final products are makeup wipes and moisturizing sunscreen! On any hot days I always carry makeup wipes and a little thing of sunscreen just in case it gets so hot that my makeup becomes a mess I can just have a nice bare face, and let my skin breathe. The wipes I am using this weekend are the Burt’s Bees facial cleansing towelettes with white tea extract. These wipes smell sooooo good. I am obsessed with the light sweet scent they leave on my skin, its subtle but at the same time so refreshing to smell. They also leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated. Plus they are 99% natural, so that is a plus! You can get a 30 pack of these for $5.99 at Ulta which is a good price considering I just bought a 10 pack at CVS for $4. They also have other scents available as well.

For the sunscreen that I keep with me, I typically try to find a moisturizer with SPF. I also like to get sample or travel size sunscreens and just switch them up when they are out. This specific one I am using this weekend is the Murad Essential-C Day Moisture, with SPF 30. I got this as a sample with an online Sephora purchase. Actually, I think I got this in a point perk Murad bundle. Either way, I love Murad and always try and get samples when I can of their skincare products. So I will keep this in my bag for when I start to sweat in the heat, I will wipe my face clean and just apply some of this for hydration and protection!

That is it today guys, I know this was a long post so thank you for reading and checking it out. I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and don’t forget to stay cool!

 

Makeup Collection: Foundations

IMG_2636Hey guys! So I’ve decided that my makeup collection is growing and getting to a pretty decent size, so I want to share my collection with you all and review some of the products I own. So today will be all about my foundation collection. I will be reviewing foundations that I use and basically these foundations are all the ones I own other than 2 or 3 I have that do not match my skin tone. So lets just jump right in.

IMG_2622So this foundation is the Nars “All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation”. I have it in the shade “deauville” which is also known as light 4. This foundation is a very watery foundation. This is one of my more expensive foundations, I got it at Sephora for $48. Honestly I have not used this foundation very often on its own, BUT I do mix it quite often with my Sephora brand foundation and I love that combo! It has a nice glow and lasts throughout the day. Also I love the pump it comes with, it is very practical and easy to use.

IMG_2623This is the newest foundation I have added to my collection. This is Tarte’s “Rainforest of the Sea” foundation. I have it in the shade “light neutral”. This is a water foundation! It has a little dropper which works well but I’m not a fan of droppers for foundation, I do prefer pumps. This is another foundation that I typically mix, with either my Sephora foundation or my Loreal “True Match Lumi” foundation. It gives a very nice hydrating look to my face and it is very long lasting. This retails for $39 at Sephora and I believe Ulta carries this as well. Another bright side about this foundation is it does have a small amount of SPF, it has SPF 15 sunscreen in it.

IMG_2624This is my Sephora “10HR wear perfection” foundation. I have it in the shade “light 23”. I typically do not wear this foundation by itself because it is slightly dark on my skin tone BUT it is my favorite foundation to mix with other foundations because this has amazing coverage. I love the coverage and how long this lasts, for only $20 it is totally worth it. It is definitely a staple in my collection.

IMG_2625These are the foundations I own from Loreal. On the left I have “True Match Lumi” which is in the shade “W3 Nude Beige” and also has SPF 20 in it. This retails at Ulta for $12.99. I love this foundation, it gives me a nice glow and also has good build able coverage without looking too cakey. On the right I have “True Match Lumi Cushion”. I got this foundation after hearing Jaclyn Hill rave about how amazing it is, and she was right! I love this foundation, I love the cushion applicator, and even the packaging is cute. The Lumi Cushion I have in shade “W2” and it is the best color match on my skin tone ever. It looks so natural and gives me such a nice healthy looking glow, I love it. It also has an amazing mirror compact inside, and that is always a plus! The only down side is that it does retail for $16.99 which to me is a little much for a drugstore foundation.

IMG_2626 2These are my Make Up For Ever foundations. My absolute favorite powder foundation which is the one on the right, their “Pro Finish” powder foundation. I have very dry skin and this is the one powder that doesn’t make my skin look even worse. It is actually the only powder foundation I own and use because of how much I love it. I did just hit pan on this (sad face). I have this in the shade “117” and it retails for $36. Then on the left I have my “Ultra HD” foundation stick in the shade “118”. It retails at Sephora for $43. I love the coverage of this foundation, its very bendable and a little goes a long way. I also love how easy it is to use, I do a swipe across my forehead, one on my chin, and two on my cheek, then just blend with a beauty blender. It is so easy to just throw in my purse and use. If you have dry skin, this foundation will give you a great glow.

IMG_2627And Finally I have my Maybelline foundations. On the left I have the “Dream Velvet” soft matte foundation in the shade “10”and this retails for $10.99. On the right I have the “Fit Me” dewy & smooth foundation in the shade “110” and it retails for only $7.99. I have only used the Dream Velvet foundation once but I loved it. My cousin actually convinced me to buy this because her skin kept looking flawless for days so I finally had to ask what she was using. Her selfies were turning out amazing! The “Fit Me” foundation I have only worn once for about 2 hours, but it did give me a great dewy look. I am excited to keep trying these foundations, and hopefully they are as good as they seem.

So these are all my foundations currently, and I hope you enjoyed. Let me know in the comments below if there are any other foundations I need to add to this collection. Thanks for reading, and until next time!
