I'm going to start this review off by saying this foundation really frustrates me!! 
The formula is amazing! It's more on the light to medium coverage, but just glows! 
I love Physicians Formula and all of their great ingredients, but the shades are awful. 
I mean this is IVORY.. No this is not... 
I first wore this and thought it was great: it felt light on my face, I was glowy, I didn't need too much coverage the time, and it was a great foundation day. After about 20 minutes I looked in the mirror, and although it still looked great, my face and neck was so dark compared to my chest and rest of my body! I automatically just thought I had to have gotten the wrong shade, but was confused since it looked great earlier in my "good lighting" spot while applying it. 
Fast forward a few weeks and I'm self-tanned, so I figure I might as well try it out again. It applies amazingly. I look dewy and glowy.. Still not the fullest coverage as you can see, but still isn't bad. Then, IT DOES THE SAME THING.. This foundation oxidizes on my skin so bad. This is such a bummer since I love the formula and there isn't a huge selection of shades. By the end of this tutorial you will see what I mean. I didn't think it would be as bad with tanner on, but it still got too dark for the rest of my (currently tanned) body. The formula itself stays well and worked great with my concealer and setting powder. I even baked under my eyes with no issues. I applied this foundation with Beauty Blender.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Vol. 1.
  • Base: Sand (blue square) I applied this all in my crease, over my lids, and blended up the eye as well.
  • Transition: Cove (green square) I applied just in my crease and blended upward to start my eye look off with a transition shade.
  • Outer Crease: Reef (yellow square) I applied just in the outer crease very lightly, just to darken that part of the eye a little. 
  • Highlight & Lid: Sand (same blue square as before) I applied on the brow bone and the very inner corner then I applied it all over the lid.
  • Middle of Lid: Mermaid (purple square) I patted just in the center of the lid. 
  • Blend where it is needed! 

I added some L'oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise to finish the eyes.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
