Why..Nars?

Hey guys! so... I have a poo for you. I hate not liking a product, the money and the time spent on a product that turns out to be poo is just frustrating. Now I do know that, what might work for me might not work for you or vice versa. So these are my opinions about this product and what I experienced when I tried this foundation out. My skin type is normal but dehydrated and sometimes a little oily in the T-zone. I do not experience any type of dry patches.

So.. Nars Sheer Matte Foundation. Why do I not like this? Well first I am not the biggest fan of matte skin. When I went to the Nars counter I had asked for the Nars Sheer GLOW foundation, I told her glow...glow!!! many times... but when I got home, an hour away from the mall I had realized she gave me the matte, not the glow. So I said oh well I'll try it. From the first time I tried it, I did not like it. It is so sheer, which I know "Sheer Matte" but this has NO coverage at all. It applies very patchy and it makes my face look like a desert, it sucks all the moisture out of my face. It clings to EVERYTHING. It settles in all fine lines and pores. And when I tried to wear it hoping maybe with time it would look better, it completely broke down is maybe 4 hours? like I said before, I do not have very oily skin at all. It does not matter what primer I use or the way I apply it. It looks the same every time. 

I have tried mixing it with other foundations and moisturizers and it separates from everything. It is so thick, you could hold the bottle upside down and it would not go anywhere, you need a Q-tip or something to scoop it out. I'm hoping I just got a bad bottle because it would be sad if this product was really this bad for everyone! Nars is a good brand, I am not hating on them at all. I've had many items I loved from them, but this is one I will never go near again. It was a huge waste of money.

See is separating and cracking on the bottom?

I have read many reviews about Sheer matte and everyone is saying the same thing, so if you love this foundation please do tell how you apply it and what primers you use. I would love to hear your opinions!

Nakedness

Hey guys! It's been a long time :( I've been dealing with somethings and have been sick, so it's been hard to get on here and talk beauty, but I am back and back with a review! Hope you enjoy!

Today I am reviewing for you guys the "Naked Skin" line by Urban Decay. Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup- $39.00. Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer- $28.00 and the Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation- $36.00. Found the prices on www.Ulta.com 

The Liquid foundation is medium coverage but build-able to full coverage. It has a demi-matte finish but it gives your skin some glow. It has a very thin consistency. It is extremely light on the skin and sits beautifully making you look flawless. I can agree to the name "Naked Skin" It feels just like your own skin. I have combo skin, so I always set my T-zone, but I do not have to with this foundation, the lasting power is fantastic even without being set with a powder. You must shake this product well! It has a slight perfume scent to it, but it does not last and it does not bother me, I can be quite sensitive to some smells. I love the sleek packaging. It is the typical 1 fl oz you find in most foundations. It comes in 18 shades, that is very good in my opinion, wide variety!

The Concealer is very pigmented and very creamy. This is beautiful under the eyes and on any imperfections you may have. It has great staying power just like the foundation but I would recommend setting under your eyes if you have problems with creasing. I set everything I dare put under my eyes, I struggle with creasing with any product I use. I have to be very picky about what I put under my eyes because I have fine lines and I am quite dry there. This product feels nice and hydrating under my eyes, but I still need to set it. The shade range isn't as impressive as the foundation but I do like how they have Warm and Neutral options. I like to use "Light Neutral" as my concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes because it matches my skin tone pretty well, but then I like to go in with "Fair Neutral" to highlight and brighten. I LOVE the packaging and LOVE LOVE the applicator, it is a two sided flexible wand, so you can get into places easily. love love love it! You get 0.16 fl oz. It has a smell.. it is strong. It's almost like paint. but it does not last and it is so so so worth it.

Now for the Powder Foundation. It is silky smooth with great coverage. I love the packaging as well and you get 0.31 oz. I love to set the liquid foundation with the powder and if I am not feeling a full face that day I love to just use the concealer and then set my whole face with the powder. I like to take it on the go with me. It has a mirror and a usable sponge that comes with it. It sits beautifully on the skin and does not collect around my nose or sit funny on my pores, It does not cling to dry patches either. It has no smell.

I could go on and on about these products because they are so great. I recommend them all as a set or to use with other products. They are fantastic in my book! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and if you love them or hate them, let me know your opinions! If you try them out, let me know!
