Maybelline Superstay Foundation Review + Berry Colored Look

Maybelline Superstay Foundation Review + Berry Colored Look



Products Used in this Look:

Too Faced HangoveRX Primer
Maybelline Superstay Foundation (110 Porcelain)
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer (fair)
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder              
Okay Guys, I wanted to love this drugstore foundation, but it's just not doing it for me.  I usually try every new foundation with the Too Faced HangoveRX primer because it's my top favorite and I know how great it works for my skin. A lot of the time this will do and then it's the waiting game on how the actual foundation wears. With this particular one, I had issues from the beginning. These pictures are from the very first time I tried this foundation. I have worn it a handful of times since. As you may know, I like to really wear the foundation several times to really be able to see if it is a keeper or not. This also helps me determine which is the best way to apply it (sponge, brush, etc.), what primers work great with it, and even other products as well! 
This one was tricky for me. I noticed it sinking right into my pores and making them so noticeable! After wearing this for about 5 hours (no touch ups) I was a greasy mess! I seriously thought to myself "I hate this foundation" and didn't even want to try it out again! I still needed to know if I could make this work with other products, so I took some Smashbox pore filling primer on my problem areas and left the rest of my face bare. Awful. I ended up looking so dry and patchy. The third time I used the Evelyn Iona Green Tea Primer all over and added the same Smashbox primer to the problem areas. Again it was a fail. This time around it looked cakey. I was honestly about to give up on this foundation and then I decided to give it one more shot with the Too Faced Primed & Peachy Cooling Matte Primer. I used that all over my face with no extra pore filling primer and by the 5 hour mark it wasn't looking too bad, but I was still creasy in my expression lines! This primer minimizes the appearance of my pores, while also keeping my skin matte so the foundation didn't get oily.  The longest I normally wear foundation is around 8 hours. That's a good work day and any foundation that last on my skin that long is a great one to me! This claims 24 hour wear, I'm not sure about that, but I doubt it. This is a great drugstore foundation when it comes to coverage that doesn't oxidize. I'm in the shade 110 porcelain and it matches me well. The coverage is more of a medium, but buildable. This foundation was still a tricky one for me to figure out with primers and one that I'm really going to have to remember how to apply, but I still personally have trouble with it creasing and/or sometimes looking patchy in areas! This one is also hard working with concealers. It did alright with Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, but not so much with the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer. It was so patchy under my eyes. 
This foundation gets a 7/10 for me!

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...
