Hi make-up lovers! Sorry it's taken me so long to review this product I've had for an while.

Sonia Kashuk Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in "Beige" available at Target only.

Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen.

A tinted moisturizer that helps balance and protect skin. 

Light reflectors help disguise fine lines and wrinkles. 

Delivers a more even skin tone.

UVA and UVB protection.

$13.99

1.75 FL OZ.

Everybody raved about this all over youtube, and I really wanted to see what it was like!

I loved it instantly, it'd better than regular tinted moisturizers, this is long lasting, and great coverage with a nice glow. 

The only con to this is that their is a very limited amount of shades, and it is a little pricey for tinted moisturizer. 

7/10 :)

My favorite drawer!

My favorite NYX butter gloss so far! This is the only color I have, and I do plan on going back to get more due to it's quality.

"Buttery soft and silky smooth, our scrumptious new Butter Lip Gloss tastes as sweet as a sugar cookie—and makes your lips look downright luscious. Swipe it on alone or over your favorite lipstick for creamy sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky." From the website :)

$5.00

Ulta usually has deals on NYX buy one get one 50% off!

Comparable to Buxom Cream Glosses, in my opinion.

Smells sweet just like they said!

Non-sticky, very pigmented!

Cons:

Could be drying if lips are properly moisturized. 

Not all colors suit all skin tones, look for what works for you.

Rate: 9/10

Wet N' Wild Lipstick in "Bare It All" A pinky brown peach, dupe to Mac's Honeylove. This is a matte lipstick.

Pros: 

Moisturizing.

Cheap! 

Available almost any drugstore.

Cons: 

It does bleed out a little bit, but it is manageable. 

Can be a little drying if lips aren't exfoliated and moisturized before hand. 

Can be a little too light on light/medium skintones, tone it down with a nice pink gloss. :)

9/10!

I clearly have far from perfect skin, but when I do wanna wear full makeup I go to my "holy grail" foundation routine. Also the picture makes my face look lighter than my neck but it was just the lighting.

L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation

L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base

Mac Select Cover Up "NC30"

NYC Loose Powder "Naturally Beige"

Maybelline Dark Circle Concealer

ELF Finish Spray

Start off with a clean and moisturized face.

Put on your base for a smooth canvas.

Conceal what you need to conceal, this will help with putting on less foundation. With a tapered blending brush to make the concealer look airbrushed.

Foundation in circle motions with a synthetic flat top brush. 

Using a fan brush lightly to dust the t-zone with the powder just for lasting purposes.

Mist with ELF Spray.

VOILAAAAAAAA!
