Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream ($38) tinted gel cream moisturizer that provides light coverage, hydration, and even skincare benefits. I decided to purchase this one because I’m not only a fan of Kosas because also, because I love a good BB Cream moment. The big claim to fame with this formula is it contains copper peptides that act to plump and firm skin while supporting collage. I didn’t really buy it for skincare benefits as I’m not a big believer in foundations that contain skincare or sunscreen. I did however, grab it because I’m really into natural, lightweight foundations since I don’t require a ton of heavy coverage as my skin is in good shape and all I really need is something to ease dullness and brighten.

I actually like this formula but I need to be real about it as well and understand it has limits. One thing I’m really not a big fan of is the price. It’s $38 for a 1 oz bottle where as Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide is $42 for the same size. Revealer has a hell of a lot more pigment for an extra $4. I really wish they’d have considered putting this at around the $30 mark. Almost $40 for a sheer formula that’s essentially a tinted moisturizer is a bit much.

There’s a lot more to discuss in this review so let’s get into it.

As you know, I use concealer under my eyes only but I’m very guilty of squeezing a small dollop of this on the back of my hand and I swirl a blending brush into it and just buff it on my skin! It looks incredible!

5 stars out of 5

For the dry skin ladies and lads might I introduce you to the Banila Co Clean It Zero Firming Cleansing Balm? As a long time fan of Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm I stopped using it a few years ago in the Winter months as it was making my skin a bit tight after use. I started re-using it when they introduced the Clean It Zero Firming formula. Totally a great pick for anyone with drier skin and let’s not forget this is truly the OG Korean Cleansing Balm! It’s soft, sorbet-like and it removes makeup easily! The best part is it’s on sale!

Head over to ulta.com and snag your favorite Banila Co Cleansing Balms during the Ulta Spring Haul Event! These retail for $25 but are now on sale for $17.50 plus you can use code 621225 for $3.50 off that which knocks the price down to $14!

Banila Co has changed a lot since I reviewed the original pink jar Banila Co Clean Cleansing Balm back in 2014. For one thing, it’s easier to get now! I used to order it from Korea! And another great change is it now comes in a variety of formulas one of which is this Firming formula that’s great for drier skin like my own!

Let’s Talk About WYN BEAUTY Nothing To See Soft Matte Creamy Concealer

I purchased some WYN BEAUTY Nothing To See Soft Matte Creamy Concealer and I regret nothing. Who the heck is WYN Beauty you might be asking? If you haven’t heard Serena Williams has created a new makeup collection called WYN Beauty that’s available exclusively at Ulta. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking! “NOT another celebrity makeup brand!” Well, technically Serena is an athletic and not really a celeb right? So, let’s give her a pass! But in all seriousness, over the last few years a lot of celebrities, singers, and athletics have broken into the beauty industry. I mean, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson has a line of body care for men. It’s been an interesting time for celebs to just randomly break into the beauty industry but they have and there’s no end in sight as we get some new makeup collection daily. I’m really waiting to see Meghan does something beauty wise with the American Riviera Orchard.

But I digress…Let’s get back to WYN Beauty. I didn’t expect Serena to be a person who would break into makeup world but she has and I didn’t expect much from her line but so far she’s really impressed me. I haven’t tried any of WYN Beauty’s color cosmetics yet but I can say that the Nothing To See Soft Matte Creamy Concealer and the amazingly beautiful Featuring You Hydrating Skin Enhancing Tint SPF 30 is a total win for me. Not only did I love the formulas but I was also, impressed with the shade range. I always struggle to find a good match as I’m not quite warm nor am I completely cool. I consider myself a light medium with a peach undertone and it seems a hard match to find. I’m always recommended foundations or concealers with olive, beige, or yellow undertones and they simply don’t work. I really liked the light medium range in WYN Beauty’s Collection! They had a great match for me!
