Face Of The Day + Mini Review: Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream

Hello Lovelies, 

Today I have a Face Of The Day & review of Olay's Fresh Effects BB Cream. I got mine at Big Lots for only $5.00 but they usually retail somewhere between $10.00 & $15.00. I found mine there a couple weeks ago but I have been back since & they still have them. I posted a photo on my Instagram (@madeupandtrue) the day that I bought it. So let's get into the FOTD first. 

Face:

-L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur: Used as primer mainly for the sunscreen

-Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in Fair to Light: Used all over the face

-Revlon ColorStay Concealer in Fair: Used to cover up some redness on the chin & cheeks

-Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch in Radiant & L'OREAL Magic Lumi in Fair: Mixed together & used under the eyes & on lids

-Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder in Fair: Used to set everything

Cheeks:

-Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Light & MAC Blush in Cream Soda (Limited Edition): Mixed together on the cheeks

Eyes:

 -Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Compliment (Limited Edition): Used all over the lid

-Covergirl Single Eyeshadow in French Vanilla: Used on inner corners & under the brows

-Revlon PhotoReady Kajal in Purple Reign: Purple end on the outer third of the upper lash line & cream side on the bottom waterline

-Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer in Blonde: Tinted wax side used to fill in brows 

-Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof: Used on upper lashes

Lips:

-N.Y.C. Applelicious Glossy Balm 

The overall look:

 

Now, let's talk about the BB Cream itself. 

Pros:

- You get a good amount, 2.5 fl oz

- Smells good, it's very fresh & light. I get a defiant green apple scent

- Moisturizing 

- A little goes a long way

- Has SPF 15

- Good price if found at Big Lots

Cons:

- Could come off greasy looking if your skin is oily at all

- Has little to almost no coverage

- Over priced if not found at Big Lots

- Small color range, only 2 that I know of

-Coverage can't really be built up

Final thoughts:

This makes a nice moisturizer but I wouldn't want to count on this for coverage unless your skin is basically perfect already. It defiantly needs to be set with a powder but that still doesn't guarantee that it will last all day. I will continue to use this until it's gone but I wouldn't repurchase it even for only $5.00 but I am glad that I was able to satisfy my curiosity. 

Have you tried this BB Cream yet? Do you want to?

Until next time...

March Besties!

Hello lovelies!

Today I have to share with you everything that I was loving during the month of March. 

-Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup in Ivory-

I love this foundation because it looks so natural. I would say that this has a light to medium coverage. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a pump. 

-ELF Studio Blush in Candid Coral (Depotted)-

These blushes have a cult following & it's no wonder why. It's smooth & silky. It's easy to apply because it has just the right amount of pigmentation; not too much & not too little. Plus, this color is perfect for Spring. It also has a nice amount of sheen to it. 

-MAC Pearlmatte Face Powder in In For A Treat (Limited Edition)-

This is one of my favorites highlighters of all time. I wish it wasn't limited edition. It's cute in the pan & looks wonderful & natural on the face. 

-Maybelline Colortattoo in Beige-ing Beauty (Limited Edition)-

This was part of the Dare To Go Nude collection that Maybelline put out. The whole collection is great but this is one of my favorite pieces from it. It has a golen-ish beige base to it & has little golden glitters in it. 

-Covergirl Single Eyeshadow in French Vanilla-

This looks great over the Beige-ing Beauty colortattoo & most days the only shadow I wore were those two together. I put more on the lid & then a light bit under the brow for a highlight. It's great. 

-NYX Love in Florence Palette in Gelato For Two-

I love this little palette. My favorite are the peachy somewhat amber shade on the top left & the dusty lilac under that one. The lilac looks nice blended in the crease either with the peachy amber color in the lid or just the colortattoo. 

-Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Honeyed- 

This is a great nude pink lipstick. It looks great with any look & is one of those lipsticks that you don't really need a mirror to apply. 

-NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair-

I'm not a huge gloss person but I love this one. The smell is amazing. I want to eat it. Is that weird? I don't know. It looks nice with the Covergirl lipstick too.

-Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume (Sample Size)-

I got this from a recent Sephora purchase & I am so in love with it. This might be my new favorite perfume of all time. I really want to get the full size as soon as I can. I'm one of those people who usually doesn't buy perfume for myself though. 

-Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves-

If you have curly hair you should try this stuff. It's really nice. It smells like Welch's grade soda! Which is one of my favorite sodas from my childhood. 

Well, that's all for now! I hope that you enjoyed. 

Until next time...

Stay True & Stay You
