NYX Tinted Moisturizer Hydratant Review

Now let me be the 1st to say that I am in no way a fan of CC, BB, or tinted moisturizer, simply because those formulas don't give enough coverage to me likely, so I slightly skeptic about the NEW NYX tinted moisturizer. But recently I've been looking for something light that I could wear to the gym, so I figured why not. On to the review!

NYX tinted moisturizer is a lightweight, oil free, fragrance free foundation. I got the darkest shade in Almond and it matches my coloring, but its way to red on me. But for the reason of the review I wore it for a few day to test it out. Its very lightweight and barely gives coverage. Even with 2 layers it didn't even give a medium coverage. It does give a luminous finish to the skin, that doesn't appear shiny or greasy looking. Since it was so sheer, it really didn't have a long staying power. I felt like it faded away after a couple of hours.

I'm not crazy about this is tinted moisturizer on its on, but I found that its a nice addition to mix in with some other my other more heavier foundations that I wish were a little bit more moisturizing or thick. Overall I think this is a nice tinted moisturizer if you have perfect skin or don't mind spending extra time concealing. It will show your skin, and does give a fresh healthy finish. But this wasn't a tinted moisturizer that convert me to lighter formula side, but its nice if this is your kind of thing.

MAC Face and Body Foundation

Happy Monday everyone. What is everyone doing? Im enjoying this beautiful holiday outside, the weather in TX has been so good lately that I can't image just sitting in the house. Today I have MAC Face and Body foundation. Now in the past I have purchase this foundation 3 times and returned it because it was just to sheer for my acne prone skin and scars. But within the last year my face has gotten clearer and my scars are fading so I figured I give it another try. And boy do I love it this time around!

MAC Face and Body is a light weight water based foundation. MAC sells these in 2 different sizes 50mL and 120mL. I have the 50mL but because I love it so much for an extra $8 dollars I'll probably go purchase the bigger size. Now because this is a water base foundation you MUST SHAKE IT WELL! The coverage on this is sheer and it covers up nearly nothing. To get a medium coverage you can do 2 things: a.)wait between layers let each layer dry completely between applying the next and b.) pour some out and allow for it to tacky, then apply. This will help give you more coverage.

Now this foundation will in no way ever be full coverage. I find that applying this with fingers, brushes or a beauty blender works wonderful. It last all day and gives a nice sheen to the skin all day, but it won't make you greasy or oily. My shade is C7 which is slightly to light,but I use my MAC skin finish in dark, so it evens out perfectly.

This foundation is a winner for anyone looking for light coverage and has the patience to build it up to a medium coverage. If you have scars, those will need to be conceal, because sadly this foundation just isn't going to cover. But I feel this is great for a day of errands, or if you like me and just need to have something on your skin, then this is the prodct for you..
