Physicians Formula Cushion Foundation is talc-free, has SPF 50 broad spectrum sunscreen in the form of 8.4% titanium dioxide, and 3.95% zinc oxide. It doesn’t smell like anything to me. It comes in 3 shades, contains 0.47 fl oz / 14 mL, which is about half of what you get in a typical bottle of foundation and retails for about $16.
The Tarte Tartelette in Bloom palette is the sequel to the original Tartelette palette with a different assortment of neutral shades plus a few shimmers. The way the palette is arranged, the top row generally consists of grey-toned shades, the middle row yellow-toned shades, and the bottom row pink-toned shades and each row has a shimmery shade that complements the matte shades. You can mix them any way you want but this makes it really easy to pick up and quickly put together a look.
This month’s box had a nice mix of products and I know I will use every single thing they sent. I’m especially happy about the two color cosmetic items which are both good quality and things I’d use regularly.
My next Glossybox has shipped and I’m just now getting this post out!!! Ugh. This box as a whole didn’t really pique my interest that much and a couple of the items seem like they might be difficult to track down or purchase, at least if you are in the United States. I was excited to try the mask, though, and it didn’t disappoint.
Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color is supposed to offer high impact matte color in a comfortable-to-wear formula. The packaging is very similar to a lip gloss with a slanted doe foot applicator.
Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe is a limited edition palette that contains all six of the permanent range blushes from the Love Flush blush line. They are supposed to have a long wearing formula that will deliver 16 hours of wear.
Glossybox is good about introducing me to brands I’m not very familiar with. I knew about Royal Apothic and Emite Makeup but none of the others. All the items in this box are useful – a clarifying hair treatment, foot and body creams, a lip color, and a foundation primer.
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops is a new type of base makeup that is supposed to offer the ability to customize your coverage/color/finish to your heart’s content.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders are meant to mimic different lighting sources and affect the way light falls on the skin, giving it a softer, more flattering look. Hourglass describes Diffused Light as “a soft, warm, pale yellow powder that conceals redness and gives skin clarity—like a soft ray of morning light.” It is formulated without parabens, talc, fragrance, nanoparticles, and gluten.
