Hard Candy - Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

Hard Candy claims:
Sheer Envy is a sheer, lightweight formula tinted moisturizer that is used to lightly tint the complexion of your skin. With SPF 15, the leading in anti-aging

Hard Candy is only sold exclusively at Walmart. I don't live too close to a Walmart and when I do go, they never have any brands of cosmetics in stock, especially Hard Candy. Everything that's on the shelf has been opened and damaged. Pretty ridiculous. However, I was lucky enough to come across their tinted moisturizer. The packaging is absolutely adorable and I like how the container is clear so I can see how much I've used. The formula is a little heavy but it blends out easily. I can't stand the smell though. It smells like sunscreen and I understand that it contains an SPF of 15 but I just cannot stand having to put that on my face. Although I bought the lightest color, it was still pretty dark on me and made my face look orange like I had a bad tan. It was disappointing but there are so many other Hard Candy products that I want to try.
As you can see, the formula is pretty heavy. The moisturizer just sits on top of my hand.



The left side of my hand is bare. The right side of my hand has the tinted moisturizer on. You can obviously see where I blended out the moisturizer and how dark it is compared to my bare hand.

Physicians Formula - Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Berry"


Physicians Formula's description of this product:
  • A beautiful mosaic of complementary hues to contour and accentuate cheekbones with soft color and discreet shimmer.
     
  •  It’s the perfect combination of colors that blend together to naturally enhance your cheekbones.
     
  • The finest Italian talc provides a silky-smooth application that blends easily without streaking or irritating sensitive skin.
      
This blush is so pretty. As the company claims, the blush is silky and is very pigmented. It has a very subtle shimmer in it that you can barely notice at all. It gives my cheeks an instant berry glow. Like I said, this blush is very pigmented so I have to be cautious when applying and use a light hand or else I can look like a clown especially on my fair skin. This comes with a mirror and a brush, but I prefer to use my blush brush. I believe the price is a little high for a drugstore brand but you get what you pay for in most of Physicians Formula products.

Maybelline - Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation

Maybelline claims that this foundation provides 100% baby-smooth perfection and 14 hour hydration. I have extremely dry skin and when I wear any kind of liquid foundation, my face will appear flaky, blotchy, and unattractive. I was looking for a hydrating foundation and came across this one. I really like this foundation. It doesn't make my face look dry and keeps my skin looking hydrated. This foundation comes with the sponge but I prefer applying it with a foundation brush. It has light coverage but still manages to cover my red cheeks, and matches my skin tone perfectly. It gives you a natural dewy finish which I love and prefer. Because of the nature of this product, I always finish it off with a powder. This will be my favorite drugstore foundation that I've ever came across. 9 out of 10
