Influenster Urban Decay Voxbox Product Review

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?

I have the new Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation to review.  I received the shades 11NN and 20NN.

 
20NN is a little dark for me right now since I'm pretty fair.  11NN is a perfect match for me though.  Thankfully I didn't notice any oxidation when I wore it.  The formula is quite runny and it doesn't feel cakey on the skin.  It's a medium but buildable coverage with a matte finish.  I prefer a high coverage foundation that only needs one layer because I have quite a bit of redness in my cheeks.  I had to apply two coats of this foundation to cover my redness.  It claims to minimize the appearance of pores, but it settled into all of my pores and fine lines.  It also claims to have up to 24 hour wear, but I'm not about to test it to find out for sure.  I wore it for around 6 hours and it looked similar to how it did when I first applied it.


As I said, this is two coats of the foundation in outdoor, natural light.  It looks okay, but I definitely won't be running to the store to purchase this again when I run out.

Have you tried this foundation yet?  What are your thoughts on it?

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend!

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own.*

Sephora Haul!

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?  My husband and I are leaving early tomorrow morning to visit my family in Washington.  This will be our son's first time out of state.  It's a 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive if we go non stop (like we usually do), but obviously we can't do that this time with a 3 month old.  Any tips and advice for traveling with an infant would be SO appreciated!  We plan on taking pit stops every hour to hour and a half, but I'm hoping that spending so much time in the car won't make him super grumpy.

Anyway, getting back to the point of this post...I was originally only looking for new tweezers on Sephora's website (I lost my favorite pair from Sephora at the hospital when I gave birth and I couldn't find them on their website! *cries*), but then this happened.  lol

Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer in Red
I cannot believe I spent over $20.00 on a pair of tweezers.  I have a cheap pair from Revlon, but they suck.  I tried looking for others at the drugstore but there really aren't that many, and they all looked like they'd just cut the hairs.  So here we are.  These better be amazing.


Saturday Skin Cotton Cloud Probiotic Power Mask
I've never tried anything from this brand yet and this mask sounded interesting.


Kat Von D Beauty Alchemist Holographic Palette
I've been wanting this since it first launched, but I didn't want to spend $32.00 on a palette with shades that I couldn't use for everyday.  However, I saw that it was on sale for only $16.00, and I can live with that price.  Haha!


Ciate London x Jessica Rabbit Collection Glitter Storm Metallic Glitter Lipstick
(I already have one of these but I NEEDED a back up lol)


Jouer Long-Wear Lip Topper in St. Tropez


Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in Thicc
I used 100 points for this.  I've been wanting to try this line of lipsticks for a while now, but I like to get free samples of matte lip products because I already have dry lips and I don't want to make them worse.


That's everything I picked up recently!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
