So I have always been late to jump on the band wagon. But have always had a habit of switching it up. We all know that Urban Decay's Naked Weightless Liquid Makeup has been around for quite some time now. I just recently picked up a sample from Sephora to try it out. I have been doing some reading & it seems promising.
I picked up Shade 6.0, which is meant for medium shades with a golden olive skintone.
As usual I attached the information provided by Sephora.com:
What it is:
A weightless and virtually invisible liquid foundation that creates a luminous, demi-matte finish.
What it does:
This formula helps skin achieve a natural, illuminated and bright finish— like the beautiful skin you were born with. Naked Skin is formulated with light-diffusing spheres, transforming you to look professionally retouched. Buildable coverage allows women to customize their look. Available in a meticulously calibrated range of shades, Urban Decay’s precise shade numbering system does poetic justice to both warm tones (ending in “.0”) and cool skin tones (ending in “.5”). The finish is matte, never flat, and luminous, but not shiny.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
What else you need to know:
This makeup loads skin with a list of nourishing ingredients including: Matrixyl 3000 (a powerful anti-wrinkle peptide), protective and brightening Litchiderm, antioxidant Green Tea and Sodium Hyaluronate for optimal skin hydration and nutrient absorption. Naked Skin is suspended in a sleek, sophisticated pump bottle, allowing more control and less waste of product.

I have been loving the MUFE Mat Velvet+ foundation lately but I felt I needed to change it up since winter is coming. I honestly want something more nourishing and healthy for my skin. The matte finish may be a little too harsh since the winter can be more dying. So yesterday I picked up the Neutrogena Long Wearing Nourishing 12 hr. Foundation. I did do some research and apparently the 12 hr. claim is not exactly true. Whether or not it is nourishing will take time, it claims at least 4 weeks. It is supposed to have a tone correcting complex which considering my uneven skin, would be a dream come true.
I picked up the shade 70 Fresh Beige

HAS ANYONE BEEN TO CVS LATELY?
oh my dear Lord. CVS started carrying E.L.F. products and that is just an absolutely God send. They are priced like the website would be, unlike other places who overcharge. Just yesterday my local CVS had a BOGO 50% Off. I picked up the E.L.F. long wearing eye-shadow & the eyeliner brush.
(provided by eyeslipsface.com):
Soft and fluffy, these vibrant, shimmering Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow colors can be used as eyeshadow or a bold liner. The whipped gel texture is easy to blend and lightweight for lasting comfort and wear. Perfect for highlighting the brow bone and adding extra shimmer for a truly glam look.
Now I picked up the shade in Soiree. The description on the website does not give it enough justice. It is a gel-like consistency but it is so pigmented. It is really soft to the touch but extremely blendable. It kind of reminds me of a cheaper dupe for the L'oreal Infalliable Eyeshadow or Maybelline's Tattoo Shadow.
From what I can see CVS carries a limited supply of the E.L.F. products. They do not have anything that was recently released by E.L.F. but they have some brushes, tinted moisturizers, lip products, eye palettes/shadows, eye liner, etc. I tend to be very picky so I only picked up what I thought I needed. I do hear great things about their prism eye-shadow palette which CVS does carry. Personally, I am not B I G on eye shadows so I passed.
