Product Review!

Hello beautiful people,

Today's blog post will consist of my very first product review. Exciting stuff right? Haha maybe just for me.

I recently got my hands on Buxom's Show Some Skin Weightless foundation that retails for $34.00
and I decided to blog about it because I feel not too many people even know about this foundation, I mean I never did, not until my older sister got it for me.

I'm currently in love with it and I feel it's the perfect foundation for the summer.

A Little About the Product:
This foundation is a light-to-medium coverage that contains SPF 30 providing protection against harmful UV rays. The formula contains water which is beneficial because it makes the product last longer on your face and gives a soft finish to your skin. The website claims this foundation will give 8 hours of coverage and has been clinically proven to increase hydration and brightness in the face. The product comes in a squeeze tube versus a pump application. This product also comes in 10 different shades:
Fair Game: neutral beige for light skin tones
Dim the Light: warm yellow for light skin tones 
In the Buff: cool pink for light skin tones 
You're a Natural: warm yellow for medium skin tones 
Meet me Latte: neutral beige for medium skin tones 
Sweet as Honey: cool pink for medium skin tones
Tan-Talize Me: warm yellow for tan skin tones
Almond The Nude: neutral beige for tan skin tones
Caramel Kisses: warm yellow for dark skin tones
In The Dark: rich neutral for dark skin tones

* I got the color shade samples from the Sephora website and just used them for you to visualize what the color would actually come out to be instead to just stating the shade's name*

My Thoughts on the Product:

Well to start off, I really love the product's squeezable tube versus any other pump application. I had control with how much product I wanted to get out. The shade I got is Meet Me Latte. I prepped my face before applying the product on  (moisturize and prime). I applied the product with a flat kabuki brush and I found this is best method to apply this foundation versus using my all-time-favorite, the beauty blender. Using the beauty blender on this type of foundation is a no go, the sponge will absorb most of the product up. I also recommend using your fingers to apply the foundation.

 Now when I put the foundation on I did notice some of my more noticeable blemishes had not been covered and this makes sense since this foundation is light-to-medium coverage. I applied one layer of the foundation and I definitely got a light coverage. This foundation kind of works as a BB cream, it feels just like it. I added another layer and I got the medium coverage which was perfect. I added some concealer to my problem areas and set everything. 

I really love how this foundation feels on my skin. When I put it on it felt like I was putting water on my face. It is definitely moisturizing and really light. I mean the product is called "Show Some Skin" and I think this is perfect for the days when you don't wan to wear a full face of makeup. Especially during the summer when applying a thick full coverage foundation doesn't seem like the most ideal thing to do. This foundation is great when you need to go to the grocery store, make quick errands, mostly everyday use. If you are looking for a full converge foundation this is not the one for you. 

Now the product claims it will last up to 8 hours on your face and I'm not exactly sure that is true. When it came to the 6th hour of having this foundation on I noticed it was smearing a little (mostly on my chin and nose). This foundation also claims it'll leave your face more hydrated and speaking as an oily-combination-skin type this foundation didn't leave me looking greasy or shiny. I did have to use my blotting sheets once but that honestly wasn't a problem, I  have to do that with most of my foundations anyways. 

PROS AND CONS: 

Pros:

• lightweight
• moisturizing 
• fragrance free 
• squeezable tube
• gives a dewy finish 
• broad-spectrum sun protection 
• blends easily 

Cons:

• can emphasize fine lines and wrinkles over time
• not versatile for all skin types  
• not buildable 

Last words:

Overall I really love this product and I think it's the perfect light-to-medium coverage foundation I have ever gotten my hands on. PERFECT for the summer. If you do end up trying this foundation I recommend getting matched.
