Influenster Urban Decay Voxbox Product Review

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

Influenster recently sent me this new Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer for review.  Honestly, I wish they would have sent it out at the same time as the foundation so I could have just reviewed them together.  Oh, well.

Pros: I received the shade 10NN which works perfectly with my skin tone and the foundation that I received a few weeks ago.  The formula is vegan and on the thin side so it blends out easily.  The packaging looks nice and sleek.  There are 25 shades available so everyone can find their perfect match.  This concealer did cover up the darkness under my eyes after applying a single coat.

Cons: Unfortunately, just like with the foundation, this settled into my fine lines and made them appear more pronounced.  It also seemed to make my skin look even drier than it really is.  Finally, the retail price for this concealer is $29.00 which I feel is quite steep especially since it made my skin look terrible.

In short, this unfortunately isn't a product I would purchase.  Have you tried this concealer?  Do you like it?  Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing weekend!

L'Oreal True Match Concealer

Hello, everyone!  How was your Independence Day?  David and I had my parents over for a BBQ which was nice.  :)

Anyway!  I received a new L'Oreal True Match concealer complimentary from BzzAgent to try out and review.  They didn't have any of my shade left, so I was given the shade dark to test out.  Since this is obviously way too dark for me to use under my eyes, I wanted to try using this for cream contouring instead.  As it turns out, this shade is far too warm for me to contour with, so I used it as a cream bronzer.  lol  I applied it on my cheeks, along either side of my nose, my temples, and my jaw line.

Before bronzing

After bronzing - no other products or powder

Full face - no powder bronzer on top

*I don't think the pictures do it justice.  You could see it a lot better in person.*
 First of all, I'm not at all a fan of the sponge tip applicator.  I wish it was just a brush or a doe foot applicator.  Otherwise, this worked out well for me as a toned down, natural looking bronzer.  I definitely agree that it's super blendable.  It took very little effort on my part to blend it.  It is still a bit too far on the warm side for my liking, but it still looks fine on me.

Have you tried this product?  What are your thoughts on it?

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

Influenster Kat Von D Voxbox Product Review

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

I am so excited for today's blog post because I recently received some of Kat Von D's newly released products from Influenster for review.  In this voxbox I received two of the newly repackaged Lock It concealers, a setting powder, an edge concealer brush, and a setting powder brush.  The total value of this voxbox is $144!

So Kat Von D recently revamped the packaging for her Lock It foundations and concealers, and I must say I like the look of this packaging better than the old packaging.

Lock-It Concealer Creme ($26.00 each)

I was asked to choose two shades to test out, so I picked one that I can wear now while I'm tanned (but still light enough to brighten under the eyes) and one that's lighter to use during the winter months when I'm very pale.  The darker shade is Light 3W and the lighter shade is Light 1N.  They're lightweight, but very full coverage.  A little goes a long way with this concealer!

Setting Powder ($30.00)

Lock-It Brushes - Setting Powder Brush ($38.00) & Edge Concealer Brush ($24.00)

The powder brush is soooo soft!  The concealer brush is pretty dense and the shape of it is different from any other concealer brush that I've seen.

And that is everything that was in my voxbox!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a good week!

My Makeup Collection: Concealers/Color Correctors

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

We're going through my concealers and color correctors in this week's MMC.  I don't have too many, so leave me some recommendations in the comments for products to try out!

Concealers: L'oreal True Match & Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing

Color Correctors: Physician's Formula Pressed Powder in Green & YSL Touche Eclat Neutralizer in Green

And that's all I have!  I'm thinking about picking up the YSL Touche Eclat Neutralizer in Bisque for color correcting my dark circles.  I have such a hard time with concealers though because a lot of them crease on me, and I hate that.  What are some of your favorites?  I need some recommendations!

I hope you have a good week!  Thanks for stopping by!

 

Influenster YSL Voxbox Product Review

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

As I'm sure you know, I'm a member of Influenster and sometimes receive products for free to test and review.  I have to say, Influenster has sent out some amazing products over this past year...Keurigs, YSL, Marc Jacobs, etc.  I can't wait to find out what all they're sending out this year!

 Today I have my Influenster YSL Voxbox to review for you.  This time I received one of YSL's new Touche Eclat Neutralizers in the shade Green.  There are three shades available: Bisque, Green, and Violet.  They each cancel and neutralize different skin imperfections.  Bisque corrects dark circles/dark spots and helps to illuminate the skin.  Green covers blemishes and corrects redness for an even skin tone.  Violet corrects yellow/dull skin for healthy looking skin.  These retail for $38 each.

When I went to get the product out, I tried twisting the bottom (like you would a lip gloss in this type of packaging), but you actually push the black button on the bottom.  The only problem I have with this is that not a lot of product comes out.  I had to pump about a dozen times to finally get some product out of it.  When I applied this to my face I really had to work at it to get it blended out.  It dried pretty quickly so I had a bit of trouble with it.  As far as concealing redness, it covered up the small areas just fine, but with the larger areas I could still see some redness showing through my foundation.  I used a damp makeup sponge for this, so next time I'll try a regular foundation brush and see if that makes any difference.  As far as packaging goes, the packaging itself is really nice.  It's metal with the YSL logo on the top (so cute).

Have you tried any of these neutralizers?  What are your thoughts on them?

I hope you have a great week.  Thank you for stopping by!
