Pur Minerals CC Cream First Impression/Review

Welcome back BeautyCravers! 
Today We will be going over my First Impression of Pur Minerals CC Cream!
Okay so I received this as Gratis after doing some training with one of the Pur Reps a couple months ago, and I am just barely getting around to trying it out!
Lets jump right in!

OH do excuse my name blasted on it!

HELLO AMAZING PUMP!!!!!

Pur Minerals CC CREAM

1.5OZ

Retails for $38

Available in 4 Different Shades

SPF 40

Coverage: Full

Finish: Matte

ON THE BOX:

"This Matte, lightweight formula protects, perfects, and color-corrects with a revolutionary brightening moisturizer, age-defying primer and SPF 40 foundation all in one! Silicone-free."

So this wasn't enough for me, so I decided to check out the site for more info.

ON THE SITE:

"Your multitasking moisturizer, brightener, primer, concealer and SPF foundation! More than just another beauty balm, CC Cream with SPF 40 protects, corrects and perfects the skin’s appearance with clinically advanced plant-based ingredients, like DERMAPUR® HP—a clarifying corrective from meadowsweet—and CLARISKIN II®—a brightening powerhouse from wheat germ. Ideal for all skin types and concerns, this silicone-free formula works to erase brown spots, blemishes and fine lines from sight while balancing uneven skin tone."

Okay so I'm going to show some pics and then I will include my opinion on this product!

BEFORE CC CREAM:

Didn't pick up too much on camera but I do have some blemishes around my jaw area.

As you can kinda see here my face is a little lighter than the rest of my body
so I wasn't too alarmed by the shade.

Okay so I picked up mine in the shade TAN. Medium was a little light for me, so i just winged it and told them to give me TAN. 

The color wasn't so bad at first, as you can see above. I took a little on my hand and did my face. and I noticed that on my hand it oxidized into a darker shade with a somewhat orange tint. ahhhh.

INSIDE

OUTSIDE

HALF DONE

FULL FACE COMPLETE

Looks a little dark here, but my face blends in with the rest of my body.

I set it with a lighter face powder and it made it look a little better.

Okay so now lets get into my opinion on the product:

When I first pumped it on my hand i thought it was going to be thick, but it was so opposite of that. I was alarmed by the color, but it wasn't too bad. It set MATTE, and fast. It almost has a powder finish. I loveeee the way it felt!! It definitely covered my blemishes near my jaw line also. My skin felt and looked flawless. Also its sooo lightweight. And the best thing is that its long wearing! I touched up 1 TIME!!! and only because i felt shiny, but I didn't look shiny at all!

4 HOURS INTO WEAR

OVERALL:

 I think this product is AMAZING! I give it a well deserved 10/10!! Definitely a MUST TRY! I also think that $38 is a great price for 1.5oz and the great packaging. This is just an all around great product! 

So that's it dolls! I hope you enjoyed this, and if you try out this CC CREAM let me know what you think. If you have any questions or comments leave them down below or tweet me! 

DISCLAIMER:  I Received this product as a GRATIS Award for participating in a training on the line, I was not asked to do a review, Nor am I being paid to this review. This is 100% MY honest opinion. 

Thanks for stopping by guys!

Review: Benefit Porefessional Agent Zero Shine!

Hello BeautyCravers! Im finally back! and what better than with a REVIEW!
Today I'm gonna be reviewing a NEW Product that has just Hit Shelves at my ULTA on Thursday! and It is..... Benefits Porefessional Agent ZERO Shine!
I got this about 4 Weeks ago, when one of our amazing Benefit Gals, came in to train us on it!
When I first heard Benefit was doing the famous POREFESSIONAL in a Powder form, I was super excited!!! So Lets Jump Right in to the Review!

The Porefessional Agent ZERO Shine

Its 0.24 oz.

Invisible-Finish

Retails for $30, which is the same as the original Porefessional.

ON THE BOX:

"Shine doesn't stand a chance against the POREfessional: Agent zero shine. Our invisible-finish PRO powder helps shrink the look of pores an minimize shine. The all-in-one powder-brush dispenser makes it extra easy...just twist, tap & Sweep to look fresh-faced, without a trace!"

THE DIRECTIONS:

"Twist off built-in brush from base. Then tap powder into lid and dip brush. Sweep on moisturized skin or over makeup to instantly mattify your complexion."

Okay so they put this into 3 easy steps! However its not as simple as they put! Not that its hard, just its not as simple as Twist, Tap, Sweep! 

Its more like Take off Cap, twist open dispenser, then twist off built-in brush, tap powder into cap and dip brush, and then sweep onto face! And even though its still simple, if your in a rush it can be a little much!

But onto the actual product! So I do like this product, but I dont LOVE this product, Like its not that it doesn't work its just, Basically Shine DOES stand a chance against Agent Zero Shine! I have very oily skin so for me its a tough battle! I find myself applying touch ups after about 2-3 hours. Which isn't terrible, but its not what I hoped for! But even with that being said, this product does have great qualities that keep me using it. For one I love that even though it does mattify my skin, it doesn't make me look dull! Typically using a mattifying powder I find that after application I look very dull, and have lost all radiance. But with this powder I dont lose my natural radiance at all! Which is a Quality I LOVE! Also It definitely does minimize pores!!!!!!!

Overall: I give this product a 7/10 I think it is a great product!  The only negative things I have to say about it is... I wish I could get a longer wear out of it, and the process it takes to apply is just a little much! BUT I do love that it minimizes my large pores, and that its does help tame my shine! 

UPDATE? I used it again today! This time I used my Urban Decay B6 spray first! And I will say I got an extra hour out of it! I touched up into my fourth hour! and It wasn't so much that I looked Oily more that I felt oily!!!

I would definitely recommend this to someone who is combo/oily or Oily skin type. Just I recommend that if you are oily don't fully rely on this by itself to matte you out! 

Available @ ULTA , Benefit Cosmetics

So that Concludes my Review Ladies&&Gents! I hope you guys enjoyed this, and found it helpful! If you have any question or comments leave them down below or Tweet me! Also if you guys get around to trying this out let me know how you like it or what you think!

DISCLAIMER: I Received this as a Gratis Award for participating in training on the product. I was not asked to do a review. This is my HONEST opinion on the product.

Review: Clinique Universal Superprimer & Stay Matte Foundation!!

Heyyy Dolls! So today I am doing a Review on two Clinique Products!

I recently received my Gratis Award (Previous Post!) and I couldn't wait to start using my products. I had taken home a sample of the Foundation, so I have been using it off and on for the last 2 weeks, and I think now that I've used it quite a bit, I have enough info for a valid review! 
WARNING!: You are about to see some RatchCity Nails, Do not be alarmed! Lol

So Lets Begin with the Superprimer!

It is 1FL OZ

5 different primers

This Retails for $27 which is a pretty typical price for a Prestige Brand Primer.

On The Box:

"Translucent primer creates an ideal makeup canvas. Smooths skin's

texture, preps for makeup application and wear. Colour glides on evenly,

stays true. Lightweight, oil-free. Smooth over entire face or where needed

with clean fingertips or makeup sponge before foundation."

Also as you know all of Cliniques products are Allergy Tested and 100% Fragrance FREE.

Honestly the boxes description is spot on! I love this primer! It totally evens out my skin's texture, and even lightly conceals my pores! I even like it more than my porefessional! It doesn't have a greasy residue at all! and it totally absorbs into my skin. My skin feels so soft after I use it.

Overall: I give this Primer a 10/10 , It really does have great quality and is definitely something I would recommend. 

Now the Foundation:

Its 1 FL OZ

Retails for $23!!!!

20 Available Shades

Coverage: Sheer to Moderate

Finish: Natural-matte

On The Box:

"Oil-controlling makeup absorbs shine so skin looks fresh, flawless all day.

Lightweight gel-cream formula wears beautifully and comfortably. Oil-free 

Perfect for all but the driest skins."

Also Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance FREE. I got mine in the shade 14 Vanilla. However, I can also wear a couple of the other shades. Clinique bases their shades on different Color Groups.

You can see right after my shade it has in parenthesis MF-G, that stands for Moderately Fair-Golden. There are other shades that have that same MF-G and that is why I can wear other as well. Okay so lets get to thee facts! This foundation definitely Stays Matte! I have really oily skin, so I am always skeptical. I think about 85% of the day I am matte! Also this is Sweat-Resistant which I think is somewhat true. I do sweat sometimes at work and honestly it doesn't ruin my makeup. Also It says sheer to moderate coverage but I feel that is more Light-Medium and can be built up to a Full coverage.

Here's some Before and After Pics.

BEFORE FOUNDATION

HALF OF MY FACE

The left side of my face is done here.

FULL FACE 

COMPLETED MAKEUP

Overall: I really love this foundation! I always used it on my clients, but never on myself. Like I said I am always skeptical on whether products really "Stay Matte" but this foundation really does that! I give this foundation a well deserved 10/10. It keeps me matte, and last all day. I wore it to work today, and I still have it on. I've worn this for a 12-hour day and had no issues with it creasing or becoming streaky. And it is amazingly priced!

So that Concludes my review Ladies & Gents. I hope you guys enjoyed this, and found it helpful! Also if you have any Questions regarding these products or any Clinique Products Leave me a comment down below, or Tweet me!
