Missha All around Safe Block Essence Sun SPF45/PA+++ Review

I have an obsession with finding the holy grail of spf's with PA+++ broad spectrum sunblocks for my skin as I am terrified of sunspots and wrinkles.  I still haven't found anything that I like better than my sunkiller clear water sunblock but this comes to a close second.  The texture is an opaque white but doesn't leave a white residue that makes you look like a ghost.  It feels very light but moisturizing on my skin and doesn't leave me super oily at the end of the day.  I think this would fit those of you who are combination to oily skin.  It doesn't have a slick oily feeling either but it dries to a matte finish which I LOVE.  The best part about the product is the scent...I LOVEEEEEE the smell of this sunblock I can't really describe to you exactly but it has a fresh not to strongly floral but very femme scent to it that is not overpowering. Overall I give this one 4.5 stars

Missha Aqua Gel Tint Review

Cherry Red

Scarlet Orange

Pusia Pink

I did a Missha haul and this was one of the items that I tried out.  I LOVE tints so I'm always on the lookout for the next new tint. Available in 3 colors I loved the colors on this tint and loved the packaging and it felt like the gel version lasts longer.  The price is reasonable at $10.00 a tube but this tint has a bit of a downside though....I licked my lips cause it was dry and to my surprise the tint tasted bitter!!!!! The smell is nice and light and the colors and application is fabulous but honestly I think the taste of it when I accidentally lick my lips turns me off to the product.

My Daytime Skincare Routine~

I had a request from a friend asking to show what my makeup routine is...so here we go.  This is just my simple everyday daytime look.  Focusing more on step by step on skip prep and the order of steps I take in my regime. Enjoy~!

1.  My motto is "Your makeup only looks as good as the skin underneath".  If your skin is flaky or dry, let's face it....your foundation is going to come out looking flaky and patchy as well.  Make sure to always hydrate and exfoliate your skin to prevent surface dryness and that flaky foundation look.  I recommend using a deep exfoliator such as Philosophy Microdelivery Peel once a week for a smooth and even complexion.

2.  Perfect Whip Cleanser: This cleanser takes off almost all makeup residue and leaves my skin squeaky clean without leaving it too dry and a little goes a longggg way with plush tiny bubbles.

3.  Obagi C-Balancing Toner:  This toner stabilizes My skins pH levels to reduce excess oil production for a clear, matte complexion. Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis as it diminishes hyperpigmentation and neutralizes free radicals. Antiseptic witch hazel purifies and minimizes pores while PCA provides lightweight hydration. Aloe vera soothes inflammation and evens skin tone.

3.  Sunkiller Clear Water SPF 50 PA+++ Sunscreen: This is probably the most important part of my regimen as it has a high spf with broad spectrum that protects your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays.  I love love love this sunscreen and no matter how many different ones that I try this one is the one that I always go back to.  I will write a review on this sunscreen soon.

3.  Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream: As noted in my earlier blog this is hands down my favorite BB cream of all time. It has a great glowing finish with medium to full coverage and it lasts all day.

Urban Decay Naked Skin HD Foundation Review

 Sample From Imats

Last week I attended the IMATS makeup trade show at the Pasadena Convention center and probably my favorite find of the show was the Urban Decay Naked Skin HD Foundation.  I've tried many different types of foundations and I find that this is at my top 3 list of foundations.  At the show they were not selling the foundation just yet but they color matched me and gave me a two week sample to try out, I am color number 5 and in Mac I usually wear NC35.  The next day I tried the new foundation sample I received using my Sephora Pro foundation Airbrush brush #56 to apply to achieve the results below.

The consistency of the foundation was watery so I was skeptical that it would have medium to full coverage as they were advertised.  Much to my surprise the foundation has GREAT coverage and it is a buildable foundation so you can adjust from medium to full coverage.  The foundation felt very light weight on my skin and lasted through out the day. I have very oily skin so I did notice a bit of shine towards of the end of the day but this isn't a deal breaker for me because most foundations make me shiny towards 5pm if applied around 9am.  Overall this foundation is a great addition to Urban Decays Naked line of products and does not disappoint.

Pros:
Weightless
Medium to full coverage
Very blendable
Can apply more layers for more coverage

Cons:
Made me a little shiny towards end of the day

The New Naked Skin HD Foundation will be released on Jul 26th on their website, and it will be in regular stores (Ulta, Sephora, Macys etc) starting July 29-August 1.  There are a total of 18 weightless, medium to full coverage shades for $38.
