The How To Look The Best At Everything; makeup kit review♡

What is it?

This make up kit is by Benefit Cosmetics! It comes with 4 travel size items which consist of the Porefessional Pro balm, the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation, the "Boing" concealer in 2 different shades, and the Hello flawless powder. This kit ever came with some tips that tell you what to apply and how to apply step by step.  

Here Is What It Comes With: 

The packaging is super cute! It looks  like a little book!(◠﹏◠✿) 

On the back on the packaging it tells you everything it comes with, which is a total of 4 items.

It even comes with Tips & Tricks in case you're new to make up or simply just need a little guidance. 

My Thoughts On It

• Porefessional Pro Balm: This product is supposed to help minimize the appearance of pores and personally, I didn't really see it do much of anything. It didn't help my make up stay on longer and it basically had no purpose and just sat on my face. 
• Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation: This foundation is definitely Not for oily skin. I tried numerous times after apply setting it with setting powder or even setting it with the powder that comes with the kit but it just slides right off of my face and gets extremely blotchy , even if you blot with blotting paper it comes right off, within 10 minutes of wearing it becomes excessively   oily. 
• Boing Concealer: This concealer came in two different shades and blended beautifully with my skins imperfections and skin tone. However, it would crease up in my under eye area.

Hello Flawless Powder: Omg, this powder is THE MOST AMAZING powder I have ever used! Wearing the powder alone gives me medium to full coverage which is amazing when I am targeting an all natural look. It is very easy to blend on skin and keeps my face matte. This powder worn alone lasted on my face for up to 7 hours but worn with the Hello Flawless liquid foundation it just became greasy and blotchy. 

Overall, this was very fun to try and it is amazing that they give you these travel size kits to try so that you don't spend your money testing out full size renders. Personally, the only product I would absolutely re-purchase is the Hello Flawless powder which was absolutely amazing. 

Pros & Cons 

Let's start with a Con, there are only 3 shades you can purchase. A Pro would be that it is an amazing kit to purchase if you are new to make up! It is still pricer than drugstore make up but it tends to be more on the high end side. It is well worth it so that you can try out. 

This is all based on my opinion and I encourage anyone to try out this product because everyone is different  (◡‿◡✿)

Tarte Poreless Primer 

Primer! What is primer? 

Primer is like a canvas that you apply over your face before initially beginning to apply your foundation and the rest of your makeup. There are many different types of primers from various types of brands. Some primers are for oil control others for dry skin, but from my understanding primers help your makeup stay on longer, or at least this primer does! 

What this does

This oil-free primer helps to mattify your skin and keep your makeup in place for up to 12 hours while reducing the appearance of your pores it also prevents your concealer or foundation to set into fine lines. Quite honestly, it really helps blur out my blemishes and as I have stated in a previous post I have oily skin so the idea that this primer will keep my make up looking nice and matte is awesome!

How It works

My initial first impression was that it was clear whereas most primers are nude or made to reflect your skin tone, this primer has sort of a thick consistency that goes on and runs clear. Personally, I would Not recommend this product if you have relatively dry skin because this primer keeps your face matte and dry from oils. From personal experience I have noticed that my face has a lot less shine to it and my under eye concealer doesn't set into any under eye lines because the primer acts as a sort of filler for lines if that makes sense. 

Pros & Cons

A Con about this product would be that the thick consistency weighs heavy on the skin that it could make your face feel heavy and caked. A Pro about this product would be that although this product can make your face feel heavy & caked it does Not appear that way. It makes your face look so matte and smooth. 

The most amazing thing about Tarte products is that they are a Cruelty Free company who has a selection of Vegan cosmetics.

Too Faced: Born This Way Foundation 

I say if you're new to make up or already wear makeup you should consider using the new Born This Way Foundation by Too Faced cosmetics. 

Why? 

Well, because it simply compliments your skin in a way that literally makes it look like you're unveiling your "natural skin". It claims medium to full coverage and that is exactly what you get. Personally, I have oily skin and the only areas where it really looks oily is in my T zone area (which is totally normal!) but after putting finishing powder over it or simply blotting that area it looks just fine. 

How does it work? 

This foundation blends so well with skin and sets really easy. Too Faced has a selection of shades to choose from. It does Not set into fine lines or imperfections which is AMAZING! This product is oil-free and does Not make your pores feel clogged or make your face feel caked up. It also has this radiance to it that brightens up your face because it uses Alpine Rose! I also noticed that my skin was smooth and hydrated throughout the entire day without making my entire face oily because it is infused with coconut water which just adds to how natural and effective this product is. Throughout the day your skin will endure sweat/heat, etc, but this foundation lasted on my skin for a max of 8 hours. I did Not sweat it off and it did Not smear or settle into fine lines. If you have tried this product and have some helpful tips feel free to comment! The most amazing thing about Too Faced cosmetics is that they Do Not animal test! yay (✿◠‿◠)
