I am fond of Nars. Very fond. They aren't perfect, but their Powermatte Pigments ($26.00) come pretty freakin' close. I picked up London Calling and Under My Thumb.

I was thinking about slandering two cleansing oils (and rightfully so with at least one of them) in order to rave about how good this cleansing oil is, but decided to just let the Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil bask in its own glory without stepping on the necks of other cleansing oils. 😇

I have always said that the Sephora Collection was underrated. I stand by that statement and bring you swatches of their newest Make No Mistake Foundation and Concealer Stick ($20.00) and the High Coverage Concealer ($14.00). The concealer is definitely high coverage and more liquid based while the foundation is actually a foundation stick. It was a pretty thick cream and I can't wait to try one of each. I suspect my shade in the foundation would likely be Mahogany. I'd use the concealer as a spot concealer (Allspice) or under the eyes (Anise).






The foundation was of a formula that I don't currently own in a makeup stick so I am more excited to try that. I'd also like to see how the concealer compares to my beloved Becca Ultimate Coverage Cream. I cannot fail to give Sephora props on the darkest shades available. I remember in the not so distant past my shade being the darkest they offered so I am happy to see them listening to the suggestions of POC for being more inclusive. I mean, it's no Fenty Beauty, but I see you, Sephora and thank you for making an effort. Stay tuned for reviews because I am definitely picking these up.

Yipee! Today I have a foundation review and it's one I have been trying to get my hands on for a long time! The Ordinary Coverage Foundation is anything but ordinary, and it's something unique in the line because it actually probably is one of the best foundations out there, if you are looking for coverage and oil control.

My first Guerlain purchase was a liquid lipstick from a Winter Holiday collection a couple years ago. It was limited edition, it made me feel fancy af, and it was pretty. It sold out quickly and I have waited a long while for the brand to release more. Enter Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks. There are seven shades and are $29.00 each (not sure why Sephora has them for $32.00 - get it together). I picked up Charming Beige and Attractive Plum.
