FOTD: Why not Zoidberg?

Happy Tuesday readers! I've officially finished up my schooling, so I should hopefully be able to blog a little bit more. Today I tried out the Ren Clean Skincare Satin Perfection BB Cream that I received as a deluxe sample from Sephora with the purchase of my Ariel mirror. I will have a post about the Ariel collection soon, so stay tuned for that. 

Ren BB Cream claims: "A silicone free BB cream that leaves the skin looking flawless, even toned and luminous with a perfect non-oily, satin finish. This true multi-function cream provides flawless coverage that banishes imperfections, gives SPF and anti-oxidant protection, while photo-rejuvenation technology reduces the appearance of underlying fine lines and wrinkles."

Quite a lot of claims for a BB cream, so I am naturally a little skeptical. 

Finish: It does feel somewhat satin like. It's not completely matte, nor is it shiny. 

How it feels on the skin: It feels very light weight and comfortable. No noticeable caking yet.

I did feel like this BB cream evened out my skin tone a little bit. This Ren BB cream is a fuller coverage than many others that I have seen, which makes me drawn to it. I do feel like the tone of it may be slightly pinker than my skin tone. It's subtle, but I think it's there. I'm not sure most people would notice wearing it out though. 

Overall, I think this BB cream isn't too shabby at all. I'll see how it holds up in the next few days of trying it!

Lorac Glogetter - Swatches/First Impressions

Hello everyone! I am very excited to share with you Lorac's new palette, GLOgetter. With Spring in full bloom, I have been wanting a colorful palette that has good, quality shadows. I spotted this puppy on Ulta.com via a friend and could not resist! 

This palette is sold exclusively at Ulta stores and retails for $20. There is 0.6 oz/17.2 g of product. The packaging features this cute box that is blue and gold with shiny detailing. The palette features 8 vibrant shadows and two neutral/highlighting shadows that are larger. 

 Here's what the actual palette looks like once it is out of the box. It is brown with a gold border and features the LORAC name in blue. The palette is slightly larger than my cellphone, so it is very compact. The palette is also fairly thin. 

 The above swatches were taken with flash near a window. These swatches are without any primer or white base. 

 The above swatches were taken in natural lighting near a window without flash. No primer or white base was used. 

 The brown on the far left is the only true matte in the palette. The rest have some shimmer or shine to them. 

Here's a quick look that I did using the shadows. I am in love with that mint color!

My impressions of this palette: GREAT for spring. The colors feel velvety soft and blend very easily. The colors have a beautiful shine to them (esp on the mint color it has a gold shine to it!). This is exactly what I was wanting in a colorful palette. The shadows are gorgeous and very pigmented too. I didn't even need a white base to make them show up. The quality feels the same as other Lorac shadows that I have. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
