Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation

Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation ($40) is a new, permanent matte finish, long-wearing foundation that launched with the Urban Decay Fall 2016 which has a formula that’s waterproof, oil-absorbing, and available in 24 shades.

Fall seems closer than ever at the moment but the hard 90 and upward weather is reminding me it is very much Summer which is why the Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation gets release just at the right time for this dry skinned girl. I’m drier which means I prefer hydrating cream or lighter, moisturizing fluid foundations. I avoid matte finish foundations like the plague. It’s great that the All Nighter Foundation gets an early release because the weather is still VERY warm and VERY humid which means my skin is bit more shiny and oily. And way more forgivable when it comes to wearing matte formulas! Especially this week when it may just hit the 100 degree mark.

I’ve been testing All Nighter Liquid Foundation since earlier last week and I’m finally ready to share my review and thoughts on the wear.

Take a look!

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

I got my greedy little hands on the Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette ($49) and squealed in delight at all the glitter! The Moondust Eyeshadow Palette launched with the Urban Decay Fall 2016 and includes eighty glittery eyeshadow shades that will leave your lids with a sparkly mess of absolute joy.

Yes, there’s fall out. Yes, there’s lots of glitter. Yes, there’s sparkle. No, this isn’t for the glitter/shimmer haters. Yes, this is for those of us that like to sprinkle shimmer on our corn flakes in the morning! Yes, you should insert wacky, “Hey girl! Is that glitter on your eyelids or do you just naturally sparkle like that?” memes here.

I’m actually a lover of the original Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow formula but I realize it isn’t an eyeshadow that everyone loves. From the glitter to the denser formula I think Moondust Eyeshadow is an acquired taste which is why I was surprised that Urban Decay went with an entire palette’s worth of the formula. Also, keep in mind, Urban Decay has been rather tame lately with all their “Naked” releases. The Moondust Palette might be a prelude of daring, vibrant things to come from Urban Decay who has been playing it safe the last couple of years. If I’m right this is great news for the color addicts out there.

Something that does deserve mentioning is the fact that the single Moondust Eyeshadow shades and the ones found in the Moondust Eyeshadow Palette are quite different. I find the singles are much more denser where as the ones in the palette are considerably more softer and dare I say they look like they have even more glitter than the originals.

Yes to Introduces New Sheet Masks and Mud Masks

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

yes to sheet masks and mud masks

Yes to Tomatoes has a new range of sheet masks and mud masks for Summer 2016. The masks are $3.29 each (BOGO at Ulta.com), available in a single use pouch, and come in a variety of formulas to address different skin issues.

It’s funny as yesterday I was talking about Belif’s new gel mask being expensive at $8 for a single use but I honestly, don’t mind paying three bucks for one (even though I’d rather a box full for $10).

Let’s take a peep!

Do Not Want Philosophy Instant Miracle Worker Touch Up Stick Concealer for Fall 2016

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Philosophy Instant Miracle Worker Touch Up Stick Concealer

Let me tell you, Philosophy Instant Miracle Worker Touch Up Stick Concealer is a tasty little morsel because it carries the “Miracle Worker” name. I use and love the Philosophy Miracle Worker Skincare Collection with a passion but sorry, the concealer totally has me shaking my head vigorously in a do not want motion. I mean do you remember the horror show that was Philosophy Miracle Worker Miraculous Color Corrector & Concealer? I’m always a little scared to try new Philosophy concealer formulas because of this!

Philosophy Instant Miracle Worker Touch Up Stick Concealer ($30) is a cooling formula that promises a natural looking finish with a formula that has an easy glide and brightens up skin as it conceals discoloration, darkness, and blemishes.

I MIGHT consider trying it in store! But no blind buys for me! Sorry, Philosophy! I trust you with my skincare life but not my makeup one!

Philosophy Instant Miracle Worker Touch Up Stick Concealer is available now at Ulta and Ulta.com.
