Make Up Forever Professionals HD Foundation

Ok, I have to talk about this product because it is absolutely one of my favorite products that I have ever used!
Make Up Forever Professionals HD Foundation #128

This foundation is so amazing! I honestly can't praise it enough!

Packaging: The bottle is simple but sleek, exactly what you expect from something called "professional". It isn't too heavy, but when it comes to make up, it's nice to know that you didn't just buy air like with potato chips. There is actual product in there!

Smell: There really isn't one.

Feel/Coverage: This foundation goes on so smooth and makes your skin feel like a babies bottom! It leaves you face feeling and looking smooth and radiant. The coverage is off the charts with this foundation. It will even out your skin and help to blend in all of those horrible unwanted bumps or red spots. It has a bit of a shimmer to it, but nothing crazy. Don't worry you won't look like you stuck your face into Ke$ha's glitter filled purse. I don't usually get oily when I wear this, if I do, then it is usually on very hot days, and it doesn't dry me out. It fits me just right.

Price: Now, this is my only negative about this foundation. The price at Sephora is a whopping $40.00! I would normally think that $40.00 is way to much for make up of any kind, but in this case, foundation is well exactly that, it is the foundation for all of your make up. If it sucks, chances are that the rest of your look will too.

Overall: I have gone through about three of these bottles. While the price may be a bit steep, it is definitely worth the cost. Out of five stars I would rate this product at a 5. It has amazing coverage, it feels terrific on your skin, it will last all day (with a primer and a press powder) and each bottle lasts for about 2-3 months. I have recommended it to all of my friends and I LOVE IT!

Hard Candy's Tinted Lip Balm in Fishnet #407

Hello Bloggers!
Well I won't waste time by beating around the bush, I was given
Hard Candy's Tinted Lip Balm in Fishnet #407 
the other day, and this is my full review on it.


Packaging: The sticker around the cap of the tube is not attractive, but it can easily be peeled off. The pink tint of the balm is absolutely brilliant in person!

Smell: It smells like a lip balm I had when I was younger. It's kind of a cross between a lemon bar and a funky fruity perfume.

Feel: This lip balm feels great on your lips, it doesn't feel sticky or overly moist. It gives your lips the perfect balance between glossy and tinted. When I put it on, my lips have that "just bitten pink look" with the shiny, glossy look that you would get by putting on vaseline or a clear lip gloss.

Price: I was given this lip balm as a gift, but I did some research and found it at Walmart for as little as $3.00

Overall: Out of five stars I would rate this lip balm a 4. It really works above and beyond the call of duty for a tinted lip balm, but the smell and taste are a bit of a turn off. Other than that, the balm gives great moisture, decent color and lasts for a very long time.
