Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin Foundation
We all have that one product. You know what I mean, that one product for when you need to look good. I’m talking about that one product that you can always depend on. For me, this is that product. The brand Makeup by Mario is a newer brand that is currently sold at Sephora and on the Makeup by Mario website. I believe he only has one foundation at the moment, and it’s this one. This foundation retails for $42 at Sephora. It provides medium coverage and is advertised to provide a natural finish. I would agree with both of those claims. When I wear this foundation my skin doesn’t…

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue
My general daily makeup looks is something that looks put together and polished but not necessarily like a full-glam look. This has to be one of my most repurchased products. This product is marketed as a tinted moisturizer and I would disagree with that description (but more on that later). This product is available at Ulta, Sephora or on Bare Minerals‘ website.

Despite this product being marketed as a tinted moisturizer, I would say…

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream
The weather has been rainy here in Connecticut lately. Rainy weather makes me want to cozy up in sweatshirts and t-shirts. When I dress down I prefer a lighter coverage base product and I decided to try out this Juice Beauty cc cream that I got from the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty event. This product is marketed as a cc cream that has anti-aging properties in it. I am not familiar enough with skin care ingredients to be able to tell you if the ingredients in this product actually will have anti-aging benefits. I am not too familiar with Juice Beauty as a whole but looking at the products…

Tarte Maracujá Juicy Glow Foundation
The Ulta 21 Days of Beauty event has just passed again. In case you are unfamiliar, the Ulta 21 days of Beauty is a sale event where Ulta places certain products 50% off for one day only. This year this Tarte foundation was one of the products that I picked up on the sale to try. If you are unfamiliar with Tarte, they are a mid-tier luxury brand whose brand is rooted more in being natural. I am not making the claim that they are a “clean beauty” brand (because what does that even mean) but that is the way that Tarte brands themselves. They are cruelty free. This product…
