Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying Makeup Setting Spray 2

I put off trying the new Boscia White Charcoal Mattifying Makeup Setting Spray ($38) for a while because I was a little worried since this is formulated to minimize pores and mattify skin. It felt like it was better suited for oily skin with visible pores. It did promise to keep skin hydrated as well but charcoal is typically drying in skincare for me so I wasn’t sure this was a good pick for me.

MUA Makeup Academy Nude Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

MUA Makeup Academy Nude Palette

I picked up MUA Makeup Academy Nude Eyeshadow Palette earlier this week at CVS since all MUA is on sale 20% Off. I have to say I haven’t really been exploring MUA since it launched here in the US at CVS because the range is a lot less larger in the UK versus what we have here in the US. And the prices are a lot higher!

I didn’t even know about the MUA Makeup Academy Eyeshadow Palettes that were available at CVS until just recently since I never bother looking at the display when I’m at CVS. Bad makeup addict am I right?

Visible Results with Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Daily Replenishing Oil

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Daily Replenishing Oil

Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Daily Replenishing Oil is one of the few facial oils that I actually see results when I use it. I remember the feeling of disappointment I felt when I first started using Tarte’s Maracuja Oil. It’s not that Tarte’s formula was incredibly moisturizing because it was! It was just that they kept telling me over and over how it contained Vitamin C and how much smoother and brighter my skin would appear after using it.

Brighter never came unfortunately and I felt pretty disappointed over that!

There’s no denying facial oils have had and are still having their moment. Sure, the trend has died down slightly but it proved a trend that had a lasting impact on the skincare world with not only major brands but also drugstore brands creating their own variations of moisturizing facial oils to smooth, soften, and help prevent the signs of aging.

Like many of you, I have my favorite facial oils! One of which that comes to mind is Clinique’s Smart Treatment Oil and Physicians Formula Argan Oil. And, like many of you, I have several facial oils on tap and on rotation that I use nightly. Which brings to mind the fact that I’m not terribly comfortable using facial oil in the day. Even though I have drier skin I still feel like facial oils are a bit too heavy for daily use!

This is and the fact that I can actually see visible results is where Lancome’s Bienfait Multi-Vital Daily Replenishing Oil excels.
