Foundations // Makeup

I forgot to post about these foundations, like I had planned. Since I've been enjoying both of them so much I wanted to post this still and hopefully it will help you decide on if either would be a good fit for you or not. 




1.0 Fl Oz $36
My Shade: Fair 103
Shade Range: 42 shades
Finish: Natural Matte 
Coverage: Medium to Full - Buildable 

*VEGAN | CRUELTY FREE | TALC FREE | PARABEN FREE | OIL FREE | FRAGRANCE FREE

I was super excited about the 'Meet Your Hue' launch from Dose. This foundation is a natural matte finish while not drying out your face. Applied with a hydrating primer on my combo-to-dry skin it is a perfect combo for an all day wear. I think with oily skin you could get by with just a regular primer and it would wear well. My shade is in the fair range (of course) but is the lightest neutral undertone in the line, I believe. The shade range is amazing and I was blown away by it and how many undertones are offered. The coverage easily gets to full so I go light handed for medium and apply it normally for a full coverage glam. Paired with the seamless sponge from Dose, it is perfection. While mentioning the sponge I wanted to include how much I love it. It applies, not only this foundation, but any I have applied with it flawlessly! To wrap up this one I think you will love it if you have oily skin and like coverage. For normal skin types I would say only if you like semi mattes and coverage and if you're more on the dry side like me the preference would depend not just on coverage and finish, but if you're comfortable wearing semi mattes. I know some don't so this might not be one for you unless you like mattes with hydrating primers like I do. Oh, and the applicator is a pump!



 0.95 Fl Oz $6.49
My Shade: Porcelain
Shade Range: 20 shades
Finish: Dewy 
Coverage: Medium to Full - Buildable 

*Cruelty-free, gluten-free, talc-free, and vegan shades. 

We're flipping this entirely.. This one is not only drugstore and drugstore price, but also dewy. I also like to apply with this with a regular or even a matte primer so it last the longest on my face. My shade matches me well for drugstore shades, but the shade range is set at 20 which isn't awful for drugstore, but could still use some more undertones in my opinion. Again I'm blown away by the coverage. This one you have to build more for those results than having them from the start with the Dose foundation. It does build up to medium and full coverage. The finish is dewy and incredible. My skin looks so healthy and glows while wearing this foundation. I like to apply it with a sponge also. If you have combo or dry you will love this foundation. If you have normal I would pair it with a matte primer and if you have oily skin type you might just want to run in the opposite direction of this foundation. Haha... It's a good drugstore favorite of mine for my dry skin. The applicator is still the wonky stick (like the regular PhotoFocus has), but the nasty paint smell is gone with this dewy one!

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
