Mini Reviews from my Sears beauty haul!
Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation:
After reading some reviews, I was expecting this foundation to be 2 things: drying and light-medium coverage. I have oily skin so the drying part did not really scare me and I prefer foundation to be lighter in coverage during the Spring/Summer seasons. Although I agree that the coverage is light-medium, I do not find it drying, however, if you do have some dry areas, especially areas that may have breakouts, this foundation can accentuate those areas a little bit more. Nevertheless, the formula itself isn't drying and it does not control oil as well as other "lasting" foundations like the Chanel Mat Lumiere or Revlon Colorstay. The actual texture of the foundation is very runny which makes it easier to blend but more buffing may be required since it can leave streaks.
L'oreal Voluminous False Lashes mascara:
I fell in love with L'oreal's Power Volume Collagen waterproof mascara and wanted to try more waterproof mascaras from L'oreal so I thought I'd give this a shot. It's alright, It's a one coat type of mascara that can easily look thick, messy and somewhat spidery when applied with too many coats. It's supposed to make lashes look "false" by fibers that are supposed to hug each lash and make them look longer and thicker but I think it just makes them look a little messy.
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Mineral Airbushing blush in Natural:
I've been wanting to try this blush forever since the color is just very rosy without looking too pink. Like all of my other Physician's Formula powders, the texture is just very smooth, it applies smoothly and it blends very easily. It's very pigmented so not much product is required and using a lighter hand is necessary for a more natural look. I do think that the powders in the Mineral Airbrushing line look more natural and less powdery on the skin and this is no exception. Color lasts throughout an entire 8 hour shift with some fading after about the 5th hour (on me).
L'oreal Color Riche Caresse Stick in Rose Taffeta:
This lipstick or tinted lip balm (I'm not really sure what I should call this) look very nice when applied to lips that are completely smooth with absolutely no dry areas whatsoever. It's quite sheer with just the right amount of pigmentation (less than the Revlon Lip Butters, more than the L'oreal Color Riche Balms) and I think they are supposed to rival YSL's Rouge Voluptes (I'm only assuming because of the gold packaging) but just like the Rouge Voluptes, I'm not that big of a fan. Any dry areas on your lips will be even more apparent when this is applied and I feel like it can just look streaky but in a less obvious way than the Rouge Voluptes (probably cause they are less pigmented). They're quite moisturizing when applied but don't really add any hydration throughout the day and since they do rub off easily, further application is necessary.
L'oreal Color Riche Balm in Heavenly Berry:
I honestly just got this cause, well, it was $4 with the 50% off discount and I like berry-colored lip products so I had to try it. There's not much to say about this product except that for a product that looks like a raspberry color in the tube it applies completely clear on the lips (I get that it's a tinted lip balm, but cmon now), it's glossy, moisturizing, wears off easily but does smell pretty good. Do I recommend buying it for the regular price? Absolutely not.
