Glam Gallery: Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Foundation Review

-
I already did a mini review of this foundation on Instagram a few months ago, but now it's been a little a while and I think it's time for an update. When I posted the first review the only cons I found were the lacking shade range and the packaging, but my opinion has definitely changed. So with that being said, I'll start with the cons. The formula feels really nice on the skin and it's just as long wearing as it says but, it cakes up. I'm not sure if this is just a personal problem with my body chemistry or the oils on my face but after about 9-10 hours (the foundation lasts for 12), the pretty skin-like finish goes away and it starts to sink into my lines and crease. My foundation always creases if I don't set it properly, but this formula made it so much more noticeable. I also noticed that the finish varies with tools you use, any foundation does. But to my disdain, a beauty blender, or any wet sponge, gives it a cakey application. I'm completely fine with using a foundation brush, but I would rather use a wet sponge because the finish is almost always better that way. Now on to the shade range, as I mentioned in my previous review is way too small. This shade, which is called Chestnut, is the darkest shade. There are not enough shades for deep to dark skin tones or very fair skin tones. The inconvenience of the twist off cap is my last con. Now on to the pros, the SPF. Not a lot of people like having a built in SPF in their foundation. Foundations that contain SPF give a strong flashback or white cast. So they're not at all made for flash photography or night time, but this makes it great for every day for me. For anyone who wears makeup on a daily basis, I'd say it's a plus.  I love that it's long wearing, I don't get a full twelve hours wear out of it like I mentioned before, but 8 hours is still a pretty good wear time. Even with all the cons I do like this foundation and I'll still use it, I may not repurchase though.

It's been quite a while since I've done a product review here on my blog but I finally found something I want to talk about. I've been using these lashes for only a week and I would normally test a product out longer for a review, but I'm sure I've made my final thoughts about these. If my opinion changes, I will definitely post an update. Links will be down below as always. Don't forget to drop any thoughts in the comment box♥↓ (THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST) (top to bottom)  LASHES:↴ ♥ Go Big or Go Home   ♥ All Glam'D Up ♥ Bold Face Forward Bold Face Makeup is a seemingly new Indie makeup brand that makes multi- dimensional  eyelashes. They're made to look like mink lashes, but they have a   very thin  lash band, similar to Ardelle or any other drugstore lashes.  The volume, however, is similar to that of mink lashes. Which is exactly what I  personally  was looking for in an affordable eyelash.  There are twelve styles on
