Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation

It’s no surprise my NEW favorite foundation is by Dolce & Gabbana. I just can’t seem to find another foundation that I love as much as theirs. Dolce & Gabbana’s Perfect Luminous Foundation is simply perfection in a bottle. I know you probably get tired of me raving about my Dolce products, but seriously, I don’t think I’ve met a product of theirs yet that I don’t adore, and this foundation is no different. It definitely has a lighter feel that my usual Prefect Creamy Foundation, but it’s every bit as good and it’s name basically says it all. It makes my skin look perfectly luminous and I love the fact that it doesn’t dry out my already dehydrated complexion. I do use this foundation over my usual anti-aging primer by Amazing Cosmetics so it helps keep my makeup looking fresh all day without having to touch up at all. I wear the color Natural Glow 100 (for reference I’m an NC-25 in MAC) and it has the perfect amount of warmth to it and definitely livens up my skin. I have been using my new favorite foundation brush (stay tuned to see which one it is) to blend my foundation. The two together give me an airbrushed, picture perfect face! Now…”Say Cheese:)”

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

I must admit, I’m like a lot of my readers…when in doubt, I turn to the internet and the opinions of some of my favorite beauty bloggers to find the next best thing!

Although I get products sent to me to try and review, I still have a pretty pricey collection of my favorite foundations and skincare that I continue to purchase myself and that can start to add up. So of course, I’m always on the hunt for those beauty finds that don’t break the bank and actually work just as well as my high end favorites!

When I recently ran out of my beloved Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, I went on a mad search to find a cheaper alternative. I kept coming across all of these great reviews for Maybelline’s Age Rewind Concealer. After figuring out what color would work best, which is the Light 120, I decided to order it on Amazon.

When my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer arrived in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised at how the color was the perfect match for my skin tone. For color reference, I’m an NC 25 in MAC and have slightly yellow undertones. I also tend to have pretty dry skin, but Im an avid user of serum, heavy duty moisturizers, eye cream and a super hydrating anti-aging primer. Prepping your skin is essential for creating the perfect canvas. I love the pigmentation and the creaminess of this concealer. It doesn’t crease or settle in lines and stays put all day. It also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and eyes. I do a quick swipe of my Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder on top to set and my eyes are instantly refreshed and brighter. I didn’t think I would like the sponge tip applicator, but honestly it works pretty nicely. This concealer also does a great job at covering blemishes and discoloration. This might just be the best $6 I’ve spent in a very long time!
