Nars Natural Radiant LongWear Foundation on Medium Brown Skin

It seems like I’ve been trying more and more foundations as of late. This past year I was solely using one brand, then with the launch of the Fenty line, I was excited to get out there and try something else for a change, especially since it had 40 shades to choose from. Unfortunately, for me, the Fenty Pro Filter foundation didn’t do well with my skin ( trust me I tried several times) and I moved on to another brand, Huda Beauty, that I absolutely love. One of the drawbacks of the Huda Beauty Foundation is that it lacks…

Nars Velvet Matte Foundation Stick Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

This is the second time I’ve stumbled across a foundation that’s made me completely snub my previous holy grail. Got Oily Skin? Need Buildable Coverage? Need to touch up on the Go? Want to be able to Blend without searching for your beauty blender? Then this Nars Velvet Matte Foundation Stick is perfect! Nars has blessed us with many cult favorite foundations, but this is the first Foundation Stick to be released by the brand. The Nars Velvet Matte Foundation stick retails for $45 and comes in 20 shades, and I received four to test for myself. One of the…

Get the Confidence In Compact Form with It Cosmetics

It Cosmetics has done it again with an exceptional product that I’m really loving. First, it was their amazing skin care collection that you can read all about here and then pick up at Sephora, now they’ve come up with some pretty amazing serum foundations, yes I said SERUM foundations in a compact form. Now let me get this out of the way early. While I love It Cosmetics, the company still has some leaps to make with their shade range. Understandably they do a lot on QVC, and so they can’t have 20 different shades when selling on that…

L’oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

In full disclosure, it’s been a while since I’ve tried a drug store foundation. Actually, it’s been over a year since I stepped foot into a convenience store to pick up makeup period! It’s not because I don’t like drugstore makeup but has a lot to do with me cutting back on how much I spent on makeup though somehow I still managed to make VIB Rouge. So when I received a special delivery from Loreal last month I was super surprised to find it contained three out of twelve of the shades of their True Match Lumi Cushion foundation.…

Pur Cosmetics Hydrafluid Water Serum Foundation

So last week I shared with you swatches and thoughts on the Pur Cosmetics Cameo Contour Dual-ended Contour sticks and this week I’m bringing you even more Pur Cosmetics goodness in the form of their new Hydrafluid Water Serum Foundation. Hydration is one of the top beauty trends for Spring 2016, think soft dewy skin that is usually a must on the fashion runways. The thing that makes this foundation different from other water based foundations on the market is the fact that delivers Swiss Alps-sourced glacier water (fancy huh?) deep into the skin for optimal hydration. The Hydrafluid Water…
