COVERGIRL TRUBLEND!!!!!!!!!


Hey my beautiful people!!!!! Today I have a first impression review on the new Covergirl truBlend liquid foundation and truBlend fixstick concealer.

OK so let me start by giving you some facts about these products...

lets start with the foundation .....

OK so the new truBlend  foundation is a light to medium coverage, so this means you will not be getting the benefits of a full coverage foundation, you may still have little imperfections that you may not like to show through. This formula is not that much different from the original, I read the ingredients and they do have some changes, but nothing dramatic to really change the formula. Something really different is the packaging, this packaging is more appealing than the last one. Other facts, it comes in 21 new shades ranging from light, medium, and deep. Each of them are divided into 7 shades for each color range, I think that's awesome!.
For each bottle you get 30ml(1fl oz liq.), and it come with a pump. A pump is way much better and its more sanitary.




Without Flash
OK so my thoughts about this product is that its OK. I really didn't think this foundation did a lot for me, when I tried it on it didn't look flawless. To me it seemed more like a tinted moisturizer rather than a foundation. I know its not supposed to cover everything well to a perfection but I did hope for it to at least give me some sort of coverage. I used 3 full pumps of foundation on my face, on camera it seem like it evened out but when I took pictures you could still see a lot of my smaller imperfections, that's what I was hoping it would at least cover but it didn't.








With Flash











As you can see in the picture without flash it looks OK, my face looks matte, which is a plus. 
Now the picture with flash, that picture really disappointed me because you could really see what I had going on my face, and that's no bueno!. My face does look a little shiny but I have to admit I didn't set my foundation with a setting powder. Maybe it would of still looked matte. So OK for 3 full pumps of foundation the only thing I should of been able to see were my 3 really pigmented acne scars and that's it... but nope u can see everything.  With social media now in days people take a lot of pictures and especially selfies,  with a foundation like this I really would not want to take any pictures at all.

 All In all I really didn't like this foundation. I would recommend this to anyone just wanting to cover redness or to even out skin tone, but not to someone with bigger problems than that.







Now lets talk about the concealer....

I believe that their concealer is way much better.... its smooth, it doesn't dry your skin, and is highly pigmented! It really doesn't crease that much... when I did my video I didn't add a setting powder and it did just fine...it did crease a little bit but like I said I didn't use a setting powder plus my lights tend to be super hot....

All in all I did like this concealer a lot, and a highly recommend this if you are looking for a cheaper alternative

I think all in all this foundation will be good for people with no skin imperfections. If you have redness around the nose or mouth area it will definitely even out your skin tone , most likely you will have a flawless finish.


OK you guys I hope you found this helpful and i also hope that you are having a wonderful day. Know that you guys are beautiful and more wonderful than you can even imagine!

love you guys a lot take care and stay positive

REVLON, CLINIQUE, OR POP????

What's up my beautiful Makeup Addicts today I have a review/compare for you!!!! today I have my chubby lip sticks/balm from Revlon, Clinique and Pop beauty, These  are amazing but one does shine better than the other ones. 

I want to start by telling you why I love these chubby sticks, first of all they are really hydrating and the last thing you want is something on your lips that makes them feel dried up and uncomfortable,they are so soft they feel like butter and that makes them glide so well and smooth, another thing that I like about them is that they are good to wear when you're on the go and just need a little color to change your look. 

OK now going to compare these 3 brands that just seem to make the same thing and yet all of them have different prices... so which one do you choose???????

lets start with Clinique Chubby sticks Price: $16

These chubby sticks are high end and if you want to find them you can go to the mall and check them out at Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Sephora. These bad boys are really pigmented and they have 16 amazing colors but the problem for me is even though they are great the price is a little to steep for me, don't get me wrong I will still buy them because they are great I just wished they were a little cheaper.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm stain price: $ 7.49

These balm stains are drugstore and you can find them at Target, Walmart, Walgreen's, and even Ulta. these stains are good they are not as pigmented as the chubby sticks from Clinique but they work just as well. To me they feel more like a tinted chap stick but with a little more pigmentation. I like these they are cheap and if you don't want to spend that much on the chubby sticks well this is a good alternative for you.

Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon $25 for a package of 6  (4.17 each )

These crayons are really creamy, pigmented and fairly new to me. I received this product in my Ipsy July bag and I love it ever since. I really think these are really good but the downside to me is that I didn't find them sold separately just in a bundle and I really don't like to get makeup like that, another thing is that they only have 6 colors and most of them are fair color or nude, I would really love to see more bright and bold colors from them. One thing I do love is that for 6 you just pay 25 and that would mean each one would be approximately $4.17 each  so that's good. You can find these Pop crayons on their site http://www.popbeauty.co.uk....

NOW here are some swatches of the products I just talked about


 Clinique Chubby stick in Plushest Punch
 Pop Beauty pouty pop crayon in Coral Crush

Toner or not????


Hey my lovely makeup Addicts today a have a review for you guys to read and its about a great toner I found and its from Dickinson's oil free pore perfecting toner... So let me tell you the story how I found this toner... So i went to Walgreen's to go look at some makeup and I was just walking around and I spotted this toner, It said that it was 100% natural and I love natural :) so I took it home...... So yeah that's the short version of how I found this toner...lol... So let me get back to my review, so to tell you the truth I only been having this product for 2 weeks and I already LOVE it, in just 2 weeks I already noticed great improvement on my skin, my pores are tighter and my skin feels extremely clean after I used this product I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Let me tell you what this product claims to do and then ill tell you the pros and cons about it.

This toner claims to do refine pores, remove and controls oil, soothes irritation, and looks in moister, so pretty much it makes your pores smaller, it removes excess dirt and oil all the yucky stuff and while it does that it does not over dry. This sounds amazing the best part to me is that is true! like I said my pores a smaller my face feels cleaner and it doesn't feel dry and you may know that some toners do make you feel like you have to dump 80 gallons of moisturizer on your face when using them. This product is also amazing because its so cheap it was $5.49 for 16 FL OZ so that to me is a bargain the only this I don't like is the smell to me I would have preferred something more like rose pedals or something to that matter but hey we cant win them all that my experience with this toner that I now LOVE

Here is my list of Pros and Cons 

Pros                                                     Cons

*Cheap                                                * Doesn't smell that nice
*last a long time
*does what it claims
* 100% natural

HOW TO FIND PERFECT MASCARA!!!

Hey lovely addicts so today I wanted to talk about finding the perfect mascara... we have all tried like a million products of mascara and a lot seem to be a fail, sometimes we also find the perfect one and at the end of the day for some weird reason you still keep looking for another one or we tend to go to the next fad, so if you're lucky to find the perfect one just stick to that one and don't change it!. Anyways lets talk about the type of base mascara we need in our lives, so some of you girls are really lucky and have already gorgeous eyelashes they're long, full and curly so in reality you don't need it but if you still want to get a mascara then get a wet base one and you're probably thinking well what are those????? well mostly those are high end products and those are the one that disappoints me because I spend so much money and at the end of the day my lashes are not curled but that is because I have short thin lashes so the wet base mascara tend to make heavy and causes my eyelashes to uncurl. If you are in a budget then I find that getting wet mascara base in a drugstore is a little hard, drugstore mascaras are more dry based to me one which is better for my lashes and my pocket!!! Now you also know that dry base or formula are better for thin short lashes because its lighter so it doesn't weigh in you lashes, you can also get a wax formula that shouldn't weigh them in also.


Lets Talk about high end products and Drugstore products. High end like I said they are more wet base but if you look hard enough they do have dry base, I know that MAC has some dry based and  also the Balm, that's only if you want high end if not go to a drugstore   

Now drugstore brand are mainly to me dry base, I have bought so many mascaras and I'm always happy with all of them but sometimes I get disappointed, recently I bought the Maybelline The Rocket Express and I didn't like it I curled my lashes as usual and once I put the mascara on my eyelashes uncurled, the formula was too wet and that made it heavy :(... so girls with beautiful lashes this drugstore mascara if good for you......if you still have trouble finding the "RIGHT" one then ask for help, ask any makeup artist at your favorite makeup brand counter to help you look for your perfect mascara, it takes a lot of trial and error to find what is best for you.


So my beautiful Makeup Addicts I hope this was useful to you and please don't forget to follow me if you have any questions  please leave me a comment down below and don't forget I still have the Giveaway going on read the rest of my post!!!! and also to check out my YouTube channel. Thank you so much for reading...!!!!!  :)
